I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 257 Storytelling

Harper was hesitant but finally walked over and sat down.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The two were very close to each other and seemed intimate in the warm room.

Harper tried to avoid Benjamin's gaze, pressing her lips and keeping quiet.

Benjamin asked softly, "Harper, are you afraid of me?"

"No."

"Then why don't you look at me?"

Harper subconsciously raised her eyes and met his deep eyes. His look was so meaningful that she couldn't see him through.

She said, "What are you trying to say?"

Benjamin looked at her, lowered his eyes, and told her about the things she needed to pay attention to during pregnancy. He then proposed, "Starting tonight, I'll tell the baby stories for half an hour every night. This is good for his development." Harper was stunned.

She asked, "Shouldn't storytelling be done during the third trimester?"

"Now the baby has the ability of perception, so I think it is appropriate to start now."

Benjamin was persistent, so Harper didn't say anything more and let him do it.

Benjamin had no experience in storytelling. He almost read those stories in the book, starting with The Wolf and the Rabbit. As the most direct listener, Harper found it difficult to digest.

After enduring it for a while, she felt she should tell Benjamin directly. She said, "Benjamin, you have no emotion at all when you tell a story. I don't think the baby wants to hear it." Benjamin was silent instantly, looking obviously embarrassed.

He looked at her and asked, "What do you think how should I tell it?"

Harper took the storybook, chose a paragraph, and told it vividly in a relaxed tone. After she finished, she realized Benjamin was staring at her.

Harper immediately returned the storybook to him and said, "I want to go to the bathroom."

Just as she was about to stand up, Benjamin grabbed her hand and refused to let her go. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you hurriedly running?" "Let me go. Why are you always like this?"

Benjamin didn't let her go. Instead, he held her in his arms.

Harper struggled and said, "You said you wouldn't touch me if I didn't want to."

Benjamin paused.

He didn't move, nor did he let go of her. His expression became serious, but he let go after only a few seconds.

At this time, his phone on the bedside table rang.

Because it was at the side, Harper subconsciously saw the caller ID.

She squinted slightly, her face a little gloomy.

Benjamin picked up the phone, answered it, and asked, "What's up?"

The next second, Lauren's anxious voice came. Benjamin, what should I do? My mom is seriously ill and has just been sent to the emergency room Benjamin, can you come over? I'm afraid of being alone. I'm worried that something will happen."

Lauren's crying reached Harper's ears clearly through the phone.

She narrowed her eyes slightly with an indifferent look.

Benjamin said, "I'm not a doctor. Since the doctors are rescuing her, you should calmly wait for the results."

"Benjamin, can't you come over?" Lauren asked.

"I can't help even if I come," Benjamin said.

"But with you here, I feel safer. Benjamin, I really need you. Please come over."

Benjamin frowned, looking indifferent.

Harper walked to the bathroom in the next second. Soon, the sound of water running came.

With a cold face, Benjamin said

grimly, "Lauren, I have arranged for the most powerful doctors, so even if I go, it doesn't make any difference. Now, you should

cooperate with the doctors instead of looking for me. Got it?"

"Benjamin, if you don't come, I will jump off the hospital building!"

"Are you threatening me?"

He was displeased.
