I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 199 Like or Dislike

With that, before Harper could explain, Paul said on the phone, "Harper, just wait at the entrance of the hospital. I have asked the driver to pick you up. Come here and have a chat with me, will you?" Harper was suddenly startled, but she still agreed.

She hadn't expected the Martin family to know that she had gone to the hospital, and even Paul and Lily had known about it.

She arrived at the Martin Manor soon. She walked into the hall, and Lily quickly stood up and came over. "Are you injured? You worried me very much. Why didn't you tell us about the collision?" Lily's words were full of concern and worry.

Harper just smiled faintly and comforted. "I'm fine, it was just a small collision."

Paul kept staring at Harper closely. "Harper, how about you accompany me for a walk in the yard?"

"Okay." She put down her bag and quickly walked over to help Paul out into the yard.

Lily frowned and asked Scott with a puzzled look on her face, "Why does Paul always seem to have something to say to Harper every time he meets her? He also avoids us especially. Is it because we are not good enough to Harper that Paul is afraid that Harper will be wronged?"

"You're talking nonsense. Dad probably just likes Harper, so he wants to chat with her alone. You are very good to Harper. You are the best mother-in-law."

"Harper is also the best daughter-in-law," Lily smiled, and then immediately glared at Scott. "If your son really misses such a good wife, he will be a bachelor in his life!"

Scott thought helplessly, "You are really Benjamin's mother to curse your own son."

In the yard, Harper helped Paul to the bench and sat down. Paul asked, "Is there really nothing wrong with your body?"

"I think you may want to know if the baby is okay," Harper smiled, and then said softly, "It's okay, it was just a little accident. The baby is fine, there is no problem at all." "Thank goodness." With it, Paul quickly explained, "I don't just care about the baby, I also care about you."

"I know, Paul, you don't have to be so anxious. Of course, I know you love me the most."

Harper smiled happily.

Paul's wrinkled brows became smoother, and the atmosphere became quiet for a brief moment. Then Paul asked, "Did you go to the resort with Benjamin for his birthday?"

Harper's eyelashes trembled slightly and she nodded. "Yes."

"Harper, do you really dislike him in your heart?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Paul, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"I just asked casually. I hope I'm not putting too much pressure on you. If you like this brat a little bit, then let me help you if you have any concerns. If you really don't like him, then he doesn't deserve it. There is nothing worth correcting."

The words "he doesn't deserve it" made Harper couldn't help but laugh.

She sighed silently and said calmly, "Paul, it's not a matter of like or dislike between Benjamin and me. It's just that we're not meant to be a couple."

She declined Paul's kindness.

Although Paul could help her this

time to remove the obstacles

preventing her and Benjamin from being together, it would only be temporary.

After all, one could never wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.

Paul said nothing more and just nodded to show that he understood.

After that, Harper had some pie made by Lily at the Martin Manor, and then she asked the driver to take her back to the apartment.

After Harper left, Lily asked curiously, "Paul, what did you talk about with Harper?"

Paul picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. He said calmly, "Just a casual chat, nothing important."
