I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Benjamin looked at her expressionlessly and wanted to walk out of the bedroom. But after seeing her slightly bulging belly, he was worried that he would hurt her, so he hesitated. Harper looked at him puzzled, and said, "Please speak! If you want to be with Lauren, just tell me directly. I won't force you or become insistent, so can you please stop ignoring me?" His response was always cold, which made Harper feel uneasy. She pressed her lips, lowered her head, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you angry because I hid what Frank did?" Benjamin remained silent, and Harper took him as acquiescence.

She took a deep breath and said, "If so, then I can explain it. I admit that I did know it first, and I have been conflicted. However, a person's most basic conscience allows me to understand that this is not a trivial matter, nor can I just pretend that nothing happened with a lie.

So I never thought about not telling you, and I never thought about really covering it up for him. It's unrealistic. After all, no secret can remain hidden forever. I also understand that you won't believe what I say now. But Benjamin, even a prisoner who is about to be sentenced, has the right to defend himself.

Harper paused and continued, "You may not forgive me, or you may be angry with me for this matter. But I hope you understand that I have never thought about hiding it from you forever. Even if I really have any bad intentions, I will at least remove my suspect. We are husband and wife, and I have to bear part of the risks and responsibilities you have to bear, so why should I?"

She said a lot, not only to excuse herself but also to tell Benjamin the actual situation from a neutral perspective.

Harper had done her explanation, and she didn't want to say anything more.

They hadn't seen each other for a few days. Whenever they met, Harper was the one to talk, but Benjamin never gave her a response.

Harper also felt tired, so she took a step back and kept her distance from him, which indicated that if he still insisted on leaving like that, she wouldn't stop him.

Benjamin's deep eyes gradually

dimmed at her action. He furrowed his brows and looked at her indifferently. He did not respond to any of her words but suddenly said, "When the police chased Frank, he fell into the river with the car."

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her pretty, long eyelashes flickered. There was no significant reaction, but she was a little stunned.

He continued, "Frank fell into the river and now his life or death is uncertain. It happened just now about an hour ago. So, do you have anything to say?"

Harper frowned slightly, looked at Benjamin with a solemn expression, and asked, "What do you want me to say? Do you want me to worry or do you want me to have no reaction at all?"

Without waiting for Benjamin to

respond, she smiled softly,

"Benjamin, no matter what response I make, you will think I am false, won't you? You will think that I am pretending well, and you will think that everything I show is just what I want you to see, so what is the meaning of telling me this?"

She was actually shocked. After all, falling into the river with a car was not a trivial matter, it was a matter of life and death.

But was that really the case?

"Harper, are you too worried about

him but dare not to show it and you're guilty now? I never said you were pretending. This is all your illusion, so what are you trying to cover up?"

His eyes darkened, and gloominess shrouded him.

They stared at each other for a moment, and neither of them avoided their gaze.

He really wanted to see through her clearly and wanted to find out whether the first love in her heart that she never forgot was Frank.
