From the corner of her eye, she saw Benjamin’s gloomy face. She thought, “At this moment, he is already very worried about Lauren, so what does it matter to postpone the divorce with me for her?”

After all, he said Lauren was more important.

Harper remained silent all the way to the hospital.

But she didn’t get out of the car and just said, “I won’t go. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Whatever.”
