Chapter 546 Wanted to Know Her Heart
Benjamin looked at her expressionlessly and wanted to walk out of the bedroom. But after seeing her slightly bulging belly, he was worried that he would hurt her, so he hesitated.
Harper looked at him puzzled, and said, "Please speak! If you want to be with Lauren, just tell me directly. I won't force you or become insistent, so can you please stop ignoring me?"
His response was always cold, which made Harper feel uneasy. She pressed her lips, lowered her head, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you angry because I hid what Frank did?"
Benjamin remained silent, and Harper took him as acquiescence.
She took a deep breath and said, "If so, then I can explain it. I admit that I did know it first, and I have been conflicted. However, a person's most basic conscience allows me to understand that this is not a trivial matter, nor can I just pretend that nothing happened with a lie.
So I never thought about not telling you, and I never thought about really covering it up for him. It's unrealistic. After all, no secret can remain hidden forever. I also understand that you won't believe what I say now. But Benjamin, even a prisoner who is about to be sentenced, has the right to defend himself.
Harper paused and continued, "You may not forgive me, or you may be angry with me for this matter. But I hope you understand that I have never thought about hiding it from you forever. Even if I really have any bad intentions, I will at least remove my suspect. We are husband and wife, and I have to bear part of the risks and responsibilities you have to bear, so why should I?"
She said a lot, not only to excuse herself but also to tell Benjamin the actual situation from a neutral perspective.
Harper had done her explanation, and she didn't want to say anything more.
They hadn't seen each other for a few days. Whenever they met, Harper was the one to talk, but Benjamin never gave her a response.
