Chapter 106
I Don't Want To
Benjamin nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, he passed the mashed potatoes to Harper and asked, "Do you want any?" But just as he finished speaking, Paul said dissatisfiedly, "You're such a terrible husband. Harper doesn't like mashed potatoes. She likes the steamed lobster. Help her remove the meat."
Harper frowned slightly and said quickly, "Paul, I can have some mashed potatoes. And I can remove the lobster meat myself."
"Harper, don't worry. You married Benjamin, but he didn't treat you well enough. This is unfair to you. Now, think of him as making it up for you. You can enjoy it."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Harper fell silent and looked at Benjamin subconsciously.
He stared at her with a hint of tease and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
She pressed her lips and said, "Anything is fine."
Then, Benjamin placed several dishes before Harper and put some lobster meat on her plate.
Harper opened her eyes wide and was stunned. Paul and Lily were speechless. Scott lowered his head and smiled. Benjamin said, "Try and tell me what you like."
Actually, Harper was already full, but Benjamin had served them, and everyone was staring at her. If she said she couldn't finish them, Benjamin would probably be scolded. She wasn't worried about Benjamin, but she just didn't want to embarrass Paul.
After dinner, Scott took out the coffee he treasured and made it for Paul. Then, he also got a cup of coffee for Harper. She took it, but she didn't drink it because she was pregnant and had to drink less coffee. Benjamin stared at her, hesitating to speak but remaining silent, making Harper flustered.
At this time, Benjamin suddenly said, "Grandpa, I have made a decision. Would you like to hear it?"
"What decision?"
Everyone looked at Benjamin.
He said calmly, "Now that Harper and I have made our relationship public, we should put the things you have been concerned about on the agenda. After all, we have been married for a year, and it is time to have a child."
Benjamin spoke in an unhurried tone, seeming to be talking about something very normal.
His words were so sudden that everyone was surprised.
Paul subconsciously looked at the silent Harper. She pressed her lips slightly, with no expression on her face.
Paul asked, "Why did you suddenly make such a decision? Didn't you and Harper just go public?"
"It's not sudden. I just feel it's time for us to have a child. Isn't that what you always hope? Are you unhappy?"
"This is not something about being happy or unhappy, Benjamin, this is a big deal. Are you sure you have thought about it?"
Paul glared at him, his face sullen.
Benjamin smiled faintly, "Grandpa, if I hadn't thought it through, I wouldn't have said it. Don't you know me?"
"I don't want to," Harper said gently, and her face was calm.
She looked at Benjamin and repeated. "Benjamin, I don't want to."
She heard every word he said to Paul clearly. He proposed to have a child just because it was time to do it. So, it was not much different from what Lauren said. Although she knew that Lauren would exaggerate, the results were the same.
Hearing Harper's words, Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was no obvious emotional change on his face. "Give me a reason," he said and stared at her, his voice low and hoarse.
