Chapter 246 Unfair to Him Harper's expression remained blank.

But her hands were clenched tightly under the quilt. When she looked at Benjamin, she tried to discern any reaction on his face, but he remained unreadable, as usual.

Benjamin helped her sit up, his voice gentle as he asked, "Curtis went to prepare food for you. Are you hungry?" Harper frowned lightly and her gaze lingered on him.

Benjamin noticed her scrutiny and questioned, "Why are you looking atlike that?" Harper's eyelashes fluttered slightly, her mind racing.

"Does he really not know?" Despite her suspicions, she remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Before she could gather her thoughts, Benjamin asked again, "Harper, do you have anything to say to me?" Harper's heart sank, realizing he likely knew that.

He knew she was pregnant.

Otherwise, he wouldn't ask her this question.

Hiding her pregnancy wasn't a whim; she feared the consequences if Benjamin knew about the existence of this baby.

Harper tried her best to avoid this confrontation, but he knew that it was impossible to escape it eventually. Benjamin pressed on, "You are pregnant, why didn't you tell me?

Harper's emotions simmered, fueled by thoughts of Lauren's accusations.

Benjamin's expression darkened. "So, that's what you've been thinking? And you take away my right to know about my child because of those deductions?" Harper narrowed her eyes, meeting Benjamin's gaze. His face was gentle, but his demeanor was serious.

Benjamin responded, "Harper, believe it or not, I've never considered having a child with Lauren. Even when we were divorcing, it never crosse velmy mind." Silence enveloped them after he said that.

Harper grappling with conflicting thoughts. "Did Benjamin speak the truth? Was Lauren lying?"

She didn't trust Lauren over Benjamin, but what she said stilm impacted in what her decision effectively.

Benjamin sat down and waited for Harper to eat.

But Harper's appetite weakened after half a bowl.

"I'm full," she murmured, her mind consumed by thoughts she couldn't voice.
