I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 125 Feverish Again

"I'm going to stay here for a few days until my fever is gone," Benjamin said seriously.

"Benjamin, so you're not going to ask for my permission. You just made the decision regardless of my agreement. Right?"

How domineering he was!

Harper felt helpless and tired.

Benjamin said, "Harper, my fever persists. Are you insisting that I return and live alone? What if I become unconscious again in the middle of the night without being discovered? Or do you believe a potentially life-threatening infection is inconsequential? If so, I'll depart immediately. I understand I've disrupted your peace, so I'd better go back to the Martin Manor. Even learning the causes, Grandpa won't blame you." "That's enough," Harper shouted angrily to interrupt him. She really couldn't bear it anymore.

She thought, "It's just a fever. It must not involve infection and endanger life.

Besides, how could he be alone in Pineview Villa?

Draven and many servants are there.

Forget it. I don't want to argue anymore. Let him do whatever he pleases. After all, he has a fever in my rental apartment."

Harper picked up her phone and walked back to her room. As a result, she didn't notice at all that the moment she turned away, Benjamin showed a complacent smile, which was rather imperceptible. It took a keen eye to catch a glimpse of it.

Curtis soon arrived with clothes and the computer but was dismissed by Benjamin without even setting foot in the apartment.

Benjamin occupied the sofa in the living room to work. Harper didn't disturb him. After changing her clothes, she prepared to go out. "I have to go to the construction site. Remember to take your medicine." Benjamin frowned, a little displeased. "Are you leaving me here alone?"

"Shall I take you back to Pineview Villa or ask Curtis to come over and accompany you?" Harper asked indifferently.

With a long face, Benjamin fell silent and watched her disappear from his sight.

Harper didn't know why she and Benjamin became like this. She thought, "I planned for us to live apart for a while. He would be willing to divorce after calming down. After all, Lauren is waiting for him to marry her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

But now that he stays in my place and refuses to leave, I am increasingly confused as to what is really in his mind.

Will he move away if his fever subsidizes?"

Harper felt a headache and shook her head. She drove to the construction site. The progress was swift. The exterior of the office building had been completed, and the next step was the interior layout. Harper meticulously inspected every detail and potential loophole at the scene, too engrossed to keep track of time. She didn't wrap up until half past six in the evening.

Charlie suggested. "Let's have dinner together."

Harper checked the time on her phone and said, "Enjoy yourselves. I have other things to do."

"Well, I won't keep you here. Otherwise, Mr. Martin will make things difficult for me."

Charlie was joking. Ever since discovering that Harper was Benjamin's wife, the boss' wife, he harbored a lingering fear. After all, he had erred in matching her with another man. Luckily, Harper didn't seem upset about it at all and remained focused on her work.

Harper didn't plan to cook tonight and went directly to the Silver to buy some takeout.

It was already half past seven when she got home. It was dark outside, and the apartment was dim because no lights were on.

Harper turned on the lights and looked around. The living room was empty. Her heart skipped a beat. Had it not been for Benjamin's shoes at the entrance, she might have assumed that he had departed.

Harper put down the food and pushed open the bedroom door. The bulging figure on the bed immediately caught her eye. She turned on the wall lamp in the bedroom, walked to the bed, and whispered, "Benjamin? Get up and have dinner."

Benjamin frowned tightly, and his handsome face looked very pale. Harper reached out to touch him, only to find him feverish again.
