I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 576 Lily's Invitation

After lying down, they turned off the lights, but neither of them felt sleepy.

Harper asked proactively, "You've been here in Mayby for quite a while now. When are you going back?" "Harper, you heartless person. Don't tell me you're trying to chase me away?"

"Yeah, I'm chasing you away."

"Oh, then go ahead. But I won't leave anyway."

Harper stopped teasing and asked seriously, "Has the Jones family been urging you to go back?"

"Why would they urge me? I'm just an insignificant person. Whether I'm there or not doesn't affect the Jones family's interests in any way. I think some people wish I'd never return in their lifetime!"

Annie chuckled lightly, her words tinged with self-mockery. Though she had no blood ties with the Jones family, Harper knew she cared a lot about their attitude toward her.

As for the Jones family, they were a vast family in Dattlech, with many people and complex relationships.

Harper asked, "Has Anderson not contacted you?"

"He has. We chatted a couple of days ago. He's preparing to get engaged."

"Engaged?"

"Yes, engaged. They're planning a formal engagement ceremony, and then it's marriage next."

"Well, then, congratulations to him."

Harper said casually.

Annie echoed, "Yes, congratulations to him."

Then suddenly, both fell silent because they understood why each other said it.

They had dreamless sleep. The next morning, Harper was awakened by the phone ringing.

It was a call from the Martin Manor.

Seeing the caller ID, Harper was a bit slow to react, but as soon as she did, she immediately answered, "Hello!"

"Harper, it's me. Are you still not up?"

"Mom, good morning. I just woke up. Is there something wrong?"

Harper asked politely and courteously.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Lily's voice was warm and gentle, "No, everything's fine. Dad and I just miss you a lot and want you to come here for a meal. Do you have time?"

"I miss you guys too. Shall I come over later?"

"Okay, then I'll wait downstairs for you. Come down once you're ready."

Harper was stunned, somewhat incredulous as she asked, "You're downstairs?"

"Yes, I'm already here. Don't worry, take your time. I'm sitting in the car and chatting with friends."

Lily's thoughtfulness made Harper feel a bit embarrassed. Even though Lily said she could take her time, she couldn't really do so.

Harper hurriedly got up and went to freshen up.

When she came out after changing clothes, Annie was already awake, looking a bit sleepy as she asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yeah, I'm going to have lunch at the Martin Manor. Can you manage on your own?"

"Yes." Annie looked at the time; it was only a little after eight. She said, "Do you need to go so early? You're just going to the Martin Manor for lunch, right?"

"Benjamin's mom is already waiting downstairs for me. I can't make her wait until noon, can I?"

"So early?"

"Yeah."

Harper quickly tidied up and waved goodbye to Annie as she left.

Lily's car was parked at the entrance of the apartment building. As Harper walked over, the car door immediately opened.

She got into the back seat, and Lily immediately instructed the driver to start the car.

Lily held her hand, looking at her with tenderness, "Your belly is getting bigger. It must be hard, right?"

Harper smiled, "It's okay, just not used to it sometimes, and it's not very convenient."

"That's for sure. Pregnancy is the hardest, so you mustn't overexert yourself, At this time, you should enjoy the treatment that belongs to you and not think it'll cause us any trouble, you know?"

Harper nodded. Lily's words were strange.

She was completely like her biological mother.

The atmosphere in the car was very harmonious and warm. Lily's words were full of affection and concern, but she didn't mention anything about Harper being locked up Benjamin in the villa, feeling, somewhat guilty and apologetic about it.

When they returned to the Martin Manor, even before they got out of the car, Lily murmured softly, "Has Benjamin also returned?"
