I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Don't Regret

She actually hoped to hear Benjamin deny it. Though it might sound melodramatic, in matters of love, everyone was selfish.

Harper just looked at him plainly. Instead of answering his question, she asked, "How can we restart the paused project? Can we keep innocent people like Summit Realty out of our personal affairs?" Benjamin's face remained calm, like a tranquil stream at night, cool and penetrating. His tone matched the calmness, but there was an underlying chill in his eyes as he replied, "If we don't divorce, you can do whatever you want."

"Anything?"

"Of course, considering you're my wife."

Harper gave a dry chuckle.

"Benjamin, you really don't get me, do you? I can't stand people who can't separate business from personal life, always resorting to threats and manipulation. Even if I have second thoughts about this marriage, your tactics only make me more determined to go ahead with the divorce."

Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure lurking in them. "Harper, are you sure?"

"If I say I'm sure, are you going to make my company disappear from Mayby?"

"Probably." He smirked, his smile devoid of warmth, but there was an undeniable arrogance and coldness in his demeanor. "So think carefully before you answer."

"Yes, I'm sure about the divorce, and it's not just empty words," Harper responded firmly, her eyes clear and resolute, showing no sign of backing down.

The two locked eyes. Benjamin's expression remained impassive, his eyes icy and stern, with a hint of displeasure and annoyance evident in his furrowed brows. After a deep gaze at her, he turned and got into his car, driving away.

But Harper understood perfectly well what his gaze meant.

He was warning her not to regret it.

But at this stage, it wasn't up to her to regret anything.

She had never considered changing her decision to divorce.

Harper suddenly felt worn out, both mentally and physically. She didn't want to stay in her apartment alone, and staying with her family was out of the question. So, she drove over to the company. Even though the project was currently on hold, there were still drawings to sort out, and she needed to brainstorm other possible solutions.

This project meant more to Harper than any other. She had been involved since the early stages of her pregnancy, and she had dealt with all the hardships and fatigue alone. Hence, she truly didn't want to give up.

Upon arriving at the company building, Harper parked her car and decided to buy some food. She had rushed to the Mitchell Manor in the morning and had only managed to eat a slice of toast so far.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As she passed by the café downstairs, her gaze caught sight of a familiar figure. It was Frank.

However, he wasn't alone. There was a woman sitting across from him.

Her back was turned, so Harper couldn't see her face, but she had long flowing hair and appeared quite beautiful.

Harper decided not to interrupt them. Instead, she just smiled lightly, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.

Back in the office, Sophia immediately followed her inside. "Ms. Mitchell, did you hear? Just now, a stunning woman with a killer figure came to see Mr. Parker. But Mr. Parker didn't seem too pleased and even told her not to come to the company again. Do you know who she is? Is she Mr. Parker's girlfriend?"

"Frank wasn't happy?"

"Yeah, it seemed like he wasn't too thrilled about her showing up at the company, but the gorgeous woman didn't seem to care. Then Mr. Parker went out with her."

"How stunning was she?" Harper asked, amused by Sophia's gossipy tone.
