I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Drugged

When Lauren opened the door and came back, Benjamin was already off the phone, sitting calmly on the sofa with no sign of movement, and the glass of water he had set down on the coffee table was empty.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and she wore an unmistakable smile.

She walked to her original seat and sat down, then said to Benjamin, "It was the hotel staff knocking, reminding you to have dinner. Benjamin, haven't you eaten yet?"

Benjamin's face was contemplative, his brows slightly furrowed. "I've been quite busy these past few days, so I haven't had the time."

"How can that be? Shall I order something for you?"

"No need. I'll do it myself. Why don't you sit for a while, okay?" He spoke softly.

Lauren quickly nodded.

Benjamin walked over to the window with his phone. Lauren sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on him, and she never left. To seem less intentional, she casually picked up the cup in front of her and took a couple of sips.

Benjamin's phone call lasted nearly ten minutes. When he turned around, he saw Lauren looking at him with flushed cheeks, her eyes shimmering in a dazed manner. Her voice softened. "Benjamin, why did you talk on the phone for so long?"

Benjamin showed no reaction.

Frank had promised it would take effect quickly.

It had been more than ten minutes since he drank the water, yet he seemed perfectly fine as if nothing had happened.

The more Lauren thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She began to doubt whether the drug Frank had given her was effective.

But the more she thought about it, the more agitated she became, feeling heat throughout her body, as if countless ants were biting her, making it hard for her to control herself.

Her physical reactions grew stronger, craving something she couldn't quite articulate, feeling weak and powerless, with an indescribable sensation.
