Chapter 267
Pressure
Frank suddenly asked tentatively, "Harper, have you gained some weight recently? But I noticed you don't have much of an appetite. Are you feeling unwell?"
Harper shook her head. "No. Maybe I had lunch late and thus wasn't very hungry yet."
Frank paused slightly, and his eyes were blank. He said, "By the way, how are you and Benjamin doing? Is your relationship getting better?"
"It's the same."
"Are you still planning to divorce?" Harper fell silent.
She looked up at Frank, somewhat hesitant.
She didn't speak. Frank asked, "Harper, I don't mean to force you. I just want to remind you that if you really plan to separate, it's better to separate as early as possible. Otherwise, in a family like the Martin family, once you get pregnant, it may be difficult to draw a clear line with him."
Harper frowned subconsciously. In fact, it was no secret that she was pregnant.
She should have told Frank, but his words led Harper to the thought that he already knew and was testing her.
Harper asked calmly, "Frank, do you know that I am pregnant?"
Frank's face darkened. He said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on Harper.
Their eyes locked. Harper smiled, "I am indeed pregnant. It has been more than three months. I didn't tell you because of my inner conflict. Later, my plan for a divorce made me keep it to myself. Besides you, I didn't tell Annie until she came to Mayby." Frank's handsome face betrayed indifference, and he suddenly became disappointed, but he always showed a slight smile and said, "Congratulations."
Harper took a deep glance at him.
Frank said, "Harper, you have been waiting for so long, and now you're expecting a baby. I think Benjamin will cherish you. At least you and he can really be together as you've hoped, and that brings me great joy. My only wish is for your happiness and contentment in life." Harper lowered her head and understood the implication of his words.
He wanted to tell her that if Benjamin fell in love with her, it would only be because of the baby.
Harper's mind was in a whirl.
Her gaze at Frank darkened.
She whispered, "Frank, I know what you
I mean t
To be honest, I never
expected him to fall in love with me.
As for the baby, it is not an excuse for me to tie him up."
"Harper, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. Perhaps there was something wrong with my expression. I can't bear you to suffer, and I hope you treat yourself better and don't lose your way because of loving O someone."
"Of course, I see. Frank, thank you. I understand your intentions. Don't worry. I am well aware of what I want and what I don't." Her reply made Frank speechless.
It wasn't even seven o'clock before they finished eating the fondue.
Frank took the initiative to suggest, "Shall I take you back?"
"No. Michelle is here, too. You should hurry back and accompany her. After all, she has just arrived and is not familiar with Mayby."
Harper politely refused Frank, and he didn't insist anymore.
She took a taxi back to the apartment and happened to meet Benjamin getting out of the car.
They looked at each other. Benjamin walked towards her, and he stared at her intently and asked, "Where did you go?"
"I went out for a meal."
"Have you already had dinner?"

Harper said, "Benjamin, you don't have to act this way. It's putting a lot of pressure on me."
Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly, "Is it my fault?"
