I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 149 Hate Seeing Me

Benjamin squinted slightly, his demeanor gentle, with a softness in his eyes. His voice was low as he said, "If you think so."

"See? Benjamin said so. Harper, just take it, okay?" Lily smiled.

Harper also looked at Benjamin, reaching out to tug at the corner of his clothes, whispering, "Benjamin, please, tell your mom I really can't have it."

After all, they were getting divorced, and accepting this bracelet would be even more inappropriate.

But Benjamin held her hand firmly, saying, "If Mom gives it to you, just take it. She has plenty of it anyway."

Without waiting for Harper's response, he put it on her wrist.

Her hand was delicate, and the bracelet gave off a dignified and classical vibe, but her temperament belonged to the cool and bright type, blending the two into a unique and stylish taste.

Lily watched the scene joyfully, saying, "Harper, although you accepted my bracelet, I'm going to make you and your husband go to town today."

She emphasized "your husband" intentionally, causing Harper to blush, not knowing what to say.

And Benjamin, knowing their situation, still played along with Lily.

Harper subconsciously looked at him and wondered what was on his mind.

As she was lost in thought, Benjamin also looked at her. Seeing the two locking eyes, Lily cleared her throat lightly. "I suddenly remembered that I have plans with a friend. Benjamin, give me your car keys. I'll go see my friend first. Harper, you can give Benjamin a ride later. Oh, and remember to pay."

Lily left without paying attention to Harper's incredulous expression.

Harper instinctively wanted to follow, but Benjamin grabbed her hand. "Where are you going?"

"I..."

"Harper, do you really hate being around me that much? Have I made you that uneasy?"

Benjamin's deep gaze bore into her, his questioning words stirring indescribable emotions within her.

She pressed her lips, remaining silent.

Benjamin repeated. "Answer me, Harper. Do you really hate seeing me that much?"

After a moment of silence, Harper looked up at him and said, "Benjamin, you know very well of our current situation, yet you still insist on me accepting this bracelet. You're forcing me to feel guilty and uneasy towards Lily."

"So you

think I'm forcing you?" Benjamin's voice turned cold. "It's just a bracelet. If you don't want it, then don't. Why do you have to make so many excuses?"

"Do you really think this is just a simple bracelet?"

Leaving aside the profound meaning behind the bracelet, just his attitude was enough to make her uncomfortable.

Because while others might not understand the current dynamics between them, wouldn't he?

Harper pressed her lips, her eyes filled with stubbornness, a fact Benjamin undoubtedly noticed. His handsome face turned cold, his brows furrowing slightly. "If you don't want it, just return it to Mom. I doubt she'd force you to put it on like I apparently do."

With that, Benjamin turned and walked away.

Watching his retreating figure, Harper felt an indescribable heavy heart.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Benjamin didn't let her send him. Their relationship seemed to be in another state of icy stiffness.

She murmured to herself, "Am I doing this right?"

Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Harper felt tremendous pressure. Benjamin said she could return it to Lily anytime, but how could she muster the courage?

More and more people were becoming aware of Harper's proposal for divorce from Benjamin. Lauren also heard the news, which filled her with joy and happiness.

But at the same time, a question lingered. Was Harper truly willing to go through with the divorce, or was it all a strategy?"

She narrowed her eyes, her delicate face showing a hint of coldness as she murmured, "Anyway, now that I've got this idea, it shouldn't just stay as that."
