I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Harper Is Back

Kimberly said quickly, "Of course, this is also your home. You're welcome back anytime."

Ever since the Mitchell Group had been in trouble, Kimberly discovered Harper's abilities and help to the Mitchell family and developed a dependent affection for Harper from the bottom of her heart.

Upon hearing her offer to come back, Kimberly hurried to tell Jennifer.

Jennifer's face was cold.

"Is she back to laugh at us?"

"Mom, that's not the case. Harper cares about Dad. She helped a lot this time. Without Harper, the consequences could have been serious. If Wulf had not been exposed, Dad would definitely have continued to believe in him, and the Mitchell family might have paid everything for it."

Even not understanding why Harper refused to help in the first place, Kimberly discerned that there must be a reason for Harper to do this. She could tell that Harper wasn't inherently unkind. Despite her refusal, she still provided aid.

With Kimberly's constant persuasion, Jennifer finally nodded in agreement.

Harper came back to the Mitchell Manor alone. After hearing the sound of the car, Kimberly immediately rushed out to greet her.

This was the first time Harper sensed something different when she returned to the Mitchell Manor, but she didn't adapt to it and felt uncomfortable.

Kimberly looked at her with a smile. "Harper, you came back just in time. Mom's dished is almost ready. Let's chat while eating."

After saying that, she walked over and took Harper's hand directly. Such active intimacy made Harper frown subconsciously.

Harper didn't move but said, "C-Can you please stop doing this? Treat me as you did before. Otherwise, I might suspect you have ulterior motives."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Kimberly was embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I..."

"Stop it. I am back to visit Dad and inquire about Wulf. As for an apology, I don't think it's necessary. After all, you haven't done anything for which you should feel sorry."

Harper was always gentle and indifferent. Rather than employing euphemisms, she straightforwardly stated her innermost thoughts.

She was acutely aware that her relationship with Kimberly could never reach the same level of rapport as it did with Annie, and Harper could never feign enthusiasm. Kimberly appeared solemn, but within two or three seconds, she showed a faint smile and said softly, "Let's go in first."

She withdrew her hand and stopped holding Harper's arms as her gaze subconsciously fell on Harper's abdomen. On closer inspection, she could notice Harper's pregnancy.

She asked, "How far along are you?"

"It's four months."

"Well, the baby will be born in six months. May I go and see it then?"

Harper was slightly stunned. Taking a glance at Kimberly's expectant face, she replied, "Yes, but it's still early."

Kimberly smiled. They entered the Mitchell Manor.

Without servants, the villa looked empty and deserted.

Kimberly said, "Mom fired all the servants at home. She said she wanted to save some money and share the burden with the family."

"It doesn't cost much to pay for

to cook and clean, but

very bring to do everything yourself! r said casually. Conte

Kimberly echoed, "I think so, too. I'll persuade Mom about it later."

They walked into the living room, and Jennifer came out of the kitchen. Kimberly said, "Mom, Harper is back."

Jennifer nodded with a gentle expression and then made no reply.

Harper glanced at her.

Remembering what Jennifer hadet

said at the hospital, she was reluctant to offer to say hello to Jennifer.

The atmosphere became tense. Kimberly hurriedly said, "Mom, get Dad downstairs for dinner."

Only then did Jennifer go upstairs to Jack.

The family of four sat at the dining table in silence.

None of them could recall the last time they had eaten together.
