Chapter 542 Her Ex
The tension between the two men erupted completely, and Frank was not about to let Benjamin off easily.
He scoffed coldly, his words dripping with sarcasm, "So what if you rely on women? They are willing participants. Benjamin, you are far more pitiable. After all, Harper never loved you. Her heart belongs to her beloved ex, and she has no feelings for you. If you hadn't clung to her desperately refusing to divorce, do you think you'd still be married to her?"
Frank's words visibly darkened Benjamin's expression, the anger in his eyes unmistakable.
Although Benjamin knew Frank was deliberately provoking him, he couldn't help but wonder if Harper had confided in Frank.
He knew about Harper's ex-boyfriend and that she had married him to sever ties with her past, even sacrificing her marriage.
Just the thought unsettled him deeply, as he was unsure whether Harper still harbored feelings for her ex.
Nor did he know if Harper might consider divorcing him for her ex.
All these thoughts intensified his emotions. Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin responded icily, "No matter whom she thinks of, she is now me, Benjamin Martin's wife and carrying my child. What about you? You can only linger around her as a friend, which is frankly more pathetic and hypocritical."
Frank's face turned, "And how are you any better? If it weren't for Harper's grandmother, do you think she would have agreed to have your child? It's still uncertain whether she'll keep the baby after her grandmother's surgery is over."
