I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)
Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Let Her In

Harper did not deny it and just looked at him. But for some reason, her heart seemed to be consumed by something, and it was aching.

Benjamin didn't wait for her reply. He just looked at her deeply and then let go of her hand.

This time, the elevator door did not open again.

Harper stood still for a long time without moving and only reacted when the floor indicator light reached the first floor.

Her face was pale, with tears in her eyes, but she never let them fall.

She said to herself, "Let's stop here. From the beginning, I knew our marriage wouldn't last, so why would I make it so hard for both of us?"

The only person she felt sorry for was the baby in her belly. She raised her hand and gently stroked her stomach, saying, "I'm sorry, my baby!"

Harper returned to her apartment and quickly freshened up. Then she started to get busy. Because the project was going to restart, she needed to give Frank a call to chat. But her phone was hung up.

She called several times again, but in the end, the phone was no longer able to connect.

Harper frowned in shock. "Am I blocked?"

She found it somewhat unbelievable because Frank was unlikely to block her. So she speculated that he probably just had run out of battery or was out of service area. Harper could only think of these two possibilities at the moment.

After hanging up the phone, she organized all the documents again and then touched base with Sophia on the details of this project.

Harper spent the entire afternoon busy.

When she finished, the sky outside had darkened.

She leaned tiredly against the sofa, feeling a bit desolate. She felt lonely again as if she had returned to the time when she was left at Eleanor's house by Jack and Jennifer. She thought, "Perhaps that's just how life is. No one will accompany me until the end."

*****

The next morning, Harper arrived at the Martin Group on time with the design draft.

1.n

She went to the project department, intending to show the design draft to Charlie, but Charlie said, "I am only responsible for the progress of construction now. The design is handled by Mr. Martin. Take it to Mr. Martin!"

Harper was completely stunned.

Benjamin said he wanted to see

tangible results, and it meant

needed to report her progresset

every day.

him

She wasn't afraid. She just felt a little uncomfortable being around Benjamin.

But, since she had already signed the contract, she must comply with the requirements of the Martin Group.

She took the design draft and went

to Benjamin's office, but she was

stopped by Curtis just as she

reached the door. Curtis said, "Mrs. Martin, Mr. Martin is currently in a meeting."

"So should I wait for him?"

"You can go back first. I will pass on the message to him."

Harper frowned and then said, "It's about the progress of the project, so I'll talk to him personally!"

Curtis didn't stop her. Harper stood waiting at the office door.

Half an hour passed, and the door was still shut.

Harper asked Curtis, "Who is he meeting with? Is it important?"

"Mrs. Martin, please wait a moment, I'll ask Mr. Martin for you."

Curtis dialed the internal phone line, and Benjamin quickly answered.

Curtis asked, "Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin wants to talk to you about work. What do you think..." Benjamin said, "Let her in."
