Chapter 578 Silent Tension
Harper was stunned. Even though Lily had already indicated that Benjamin would apologize to her, she refused.
She didn't expect Paul to have the same intention.
Harper looked at Paul, attempting to speak, but before she could, Paul interrupted, saying, "Benjamin, my words don't count anymore?" "Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Don't you know what you've done? You unreasonably restricted Harper's movements, and she's pregnant. Have you considered her health? This is not good for her or the baby. You've done something so wrong, and you ask me what I mean?" Paul's face was serious, filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
But Benjamin's attitude was also very firm, and he had no intention of apologizing.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Paul and Benjamin both remained stubborn, and the atmosphere during their confrontation was extremely tense. Paul was furious with Benjamin's reaction.
But both of them had equally stubborn temperaments and refused to back down.
Harper gently advised Paul, "Grandpa, I came over for lunch. Don't you want me to eat? Do you want me to leave now?"
She realized that Benjamin wouldn't apologize. She didn't care about those three words of apology, since they were just words and not that important.
But Benjamin's attitude surprised her. For Paul's sake, he wouldn't even say those three words to her.
Did she really mean so little to him?NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Harper pressed her lips together, bitterness evident in her eyes, but she was trying her best to conceal it. She didn't want to show too much of her vulnerability in front of Benjamin.
However, Paul persisted. Even though Harper said those words, Paul insisted, saying, "Harper, of course, I'm welcoming you. But this is the apology you deserve. He made a mistake, so he must admit it." "Grandpa, are you planning to interfere in our marriage affairs?"
Benjamin chuckled coldly, a hint of mockery in his smile.
Paul didn't say anything, but his attitude remained firm.
Then Benjamin looked at Harper, his words gentle and devoid of emotion as he asked, "Do you also think I should apologize to you?"
His questioning gaze was deep, as if implying something.
Harper's eyes paused, her heart skipping a beat.
His questioning made Harper silent for a long time.
What did he mean?
Was he trying to imply the reason for his anger?
Harper squinted slightly, feeling an indescribable emotion passing

"Grandpa, Benjamin is right. This is our affair. You don't need to worry about it. Do you remember what I said to you before?"
Harper immediately changed the topic. She knew Paul could sense the underlying implications.
Paul didn't continue pressing Benjamin for an apology, and the atmosphere temporarily quieted down.

After saying this, Benjamin left.
BUMS
Paul's emotions immediately flared up, and he angrily pointed at Benjamin's departing figure.
But Harper was much calmer now. She had only spoken up for Benjamin to prevent Paul from getting too agitated and harming himself. With Benjamin gone, the air was filled with silence.
But Paul's emotions gradually stabilized. Paul wanted to talk to Harper alone, so Lily went to the kitchen to help prepare lunch.
Paul asked Harper, "Harper, when you mentioned the previous incident just now, did you decide to divorce him because of this incident?"
