I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 347 Reconciliation

"Lauren, are you threatening me?" "Yes, I am."

Lauren squinted her eyes. Her innocent appearance should have exuded gentleness, but at this moment, there was a hint of ferocity, making it uncomfortable to look directly at her.

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and warm. "I've said it before, our affairs have nothing to do with Harper. Don't involve innocent people just to solidify your position in Benjamin's heart. Doing so will only make him more and more disgusted with you." "Enough, I don't need you to lecture me. Just tell me when Harper and Benjamin will have a falling out and get divorced. If I don't marry into the Martin Group, do you think we can get everything from them?"

"Lauren, I've said that we're not to discuss anything related to the Martin Group over the phone. Do you want leaks to occur before everything is finalized?"

The man's reminder was low and heavy in tone.

Lauren immediately responded with an "okay," but she felt he was being overly cautious.

But she felt he was being overly cautious. Her phone had hardly left her side.

Yet, he still seemed concerned. He repeated his instructions, "Lauren, I'm not just saying this casually. I hope you remember it well. You should know the people around you, especially Benjamin. His thoughts are far beyond yours. If you really want to scheme against him, you're no match for him. So, be careful in everything."

"Alright, I got it."

Lauren was getting impatient.

She then asked, "When do you plan to take action?"

The other party didn't give a precise answer, just saying, "Soon."

Lauren didn't press further. After ending the call, she resumed preparing for her concert.

After signing with the Martin Group, her workload had increased significantly, but all of it was paving the way for her future success. She had to persevere until the end.

exhausting She had hoped to face the public as Benjamin's wife, but far, it hadn't materialized. She couldn't continue to pin her hopes on that identity and had to find other ways. .

Thinking of how smoothly everything was going for Harper made her uncomfortable. She wouldn't let Harper off the hook.

Mrs. Eleanor's surgery was temporarily postponed, and Harper felt powerless after failing to convince her.

She had visibly lost weight, and when she returned to her apartment after work, she met Benjamin in the elevator. They looked at each other, but neither spoke.

In the confined space, they could hear each other's breath, yet there was no communication.

They were like strangers.

She felt a sense of frustration that she couldn't express.

Because of Lauren's actions, she decided to ignore him. Just thinking of Lauren made her angry.

She clenched her hands tightly. As the elevator doors opened, they walked out, one after the other. She turned left, and he went right.

Standing at the door of Mrs.

Eleanor's apartment, she took out her keys to open the door. Just as she lifted her foot to enter, a sudden force enveloped her, pulling her into an embrace. Then warm lips pressed against hers.

Harper opened her eyes and saw his handsome face inches away, with a hint of dissatisfaction between his eyebrows.

Harper didn't move because she was afraid of hurting the baby. So she could only wait until he had kissed her enough, and then the hand around her waist gradually loosened.

He rested his forehead against hers

and didn't move away. He staredzat

her without blinking, his voice

hoarse. "Are you really this ruthless? You saw me but acted like you didn't?"

His unique scent surrounded her, making her feel uneasy yet inexplicably moved.

She lowered her eyes and remained silent, not responding to his words.
