I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Not Worthy

"No need to make it complicated. You can take Ms. Madison back to the hotel, and I'll go to the hospital to see Eleanor on my own." Harper refused directly, her gaze scanning Benjamin.

Furrowing his brow, Benjamin insisted, "Harper, it's getting late. I'm worried about you being alone."

"I have a driver. What's there to worry about? Besides, I came here alone earlier, didn't I?"

Harper raised an eyebrow, wearing a meaningful smile.

Dorcas sensed the tension and spoke up. "Harper, are you upset because of me and Benjamin? I came to see Sir Martin today at my father's request, not to disturb you. If it's because of that, I apologize. You're pregnant and shouldn't be upset. It's not good for the baby." "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Madison. The baby's in my belly. I know what's good and what's not. You haven't been pregnant or a mother, so there are things I have more experience in. So, no need for you to worry."

Harper's demeanor remained calm, revealing no emotions, making it hard to tell if she was happy or upset.

However, Benjamin knew well that this wasn't how she acted when in good spirits.

Approaching her, Benjamin took her hand and said, "I'll go with you to the hospital. I need to meet with Dr. Gene. He called me today to discuss Eleanor's surgery. So, let's go together, okay?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

It was Eleanor that made Harper relent.

Benjamin drove the car, with Harper sitting in the passenger seat and Dorcas in the back.

Dorcas asked, "Harper, with your pregnancy, upcoming competition, the Martin Group's projects, and taking care of Eleanor, isn't it too much for you?"

"It's manageable. Things aren't overlapping too much," Harper responded.

Dorcas nodded in understanding and added, "You don't have to work this hard. With Benjamin, he can provide you with a good life."

"Thank you for your kind thoughts, Ms. Madison, but everyone has different choices, right?"

Regardless of Benjamin's excellence or the stability of their relationship, Harper believed that having her own career and circle was essential for a woman. After seeing Dorcas off, Harper and Benjamin went to the hospital in silence.

They then returned to Eleanor's ward to chat with her.

By the time they finished, it was already nine in the evening.

As they held hands, leaving the hospital, Benjamin finally asked, "Are you upset with me?"

"Have you done something to make me upset?" Harper responded.

"Is it because of Dorcas that you're upset?"

"Why would it be because of Dorcas? Benjamin, why would you think that?"

"Is it because I agreed to go to the manor with Dorcas? Or is it because I've been spending too much time with her due to work recently?"

Benjamin wasn't entirely sure, but he had been pondering these matters on the way back. These were the only recent events that could have caused any tension.

Harper smiled, "Benjamin, if today I were you, and Dorcas were someone of the opposite sex, how would you feel?" Benjamin fell silent.

Glancing out the window, Harper continued calmly, "Isn't marriage about mutual understanding?"
