NovelEnglishChapter 279 Consider Herself "Lily, what are you talking about? You don't have to apologize." Harper smiled, not taking this at all to heart, "It's okay, and it's just a small thing. You're not at fault." "Do you really not blme?" "Of course!" Harper took Lily's hand and whispered soothingly, "You don't have to take it seriously or worry about it." "Harper, you're so sweet, just an understanding and thoughtful goddess in my heart." It was Harper's turn to be shy and embarrassed by the compliment.
The other three men watched their interaction, a little confused as to why Lily was apologizing one second and then complimenting Harper the next.
They couldn't understand the women's conversation.

He put the equity transfer that Paul had given in his car and asked Harper as he drove, "Why won't you take what Grandpa gave you?" "I just think it's a little too expensive." "Really?" "Of course. What else do you think I'm doing it for?" Benjamin gave her a meaningful look, which made Harper feel a little uncomfortable.
But Benjamin didn't look at her for long before looking ahead and continuing to drive, and then said gently, "I'll have Curtis put together a list of servants for you to pick out tomorrow." "Okay." Harper had no problem with that. They mostly ate with Eleanor now, so most of their diet was going to be Eleanor's because Eleanor wasn't well. But now that she was pregnant and needed different nutrition, so she did have to consider herself.
Early the following day, Curtis brought three servants with him, and Harper finally chose Angie, who could cook a variety of dishes and looked very kind. She started cooking at noon that day for them to try. Angie did a great job cooking, and both Harper and Benjamin were pleased with it, so it settled straight away.
Other than making three meals a day, Angie wouldn't linger, so there was still private space for them.
But their privacy today didn't last long before a phone call from Jennifer shattered it.
Jennifer was a little emotional. She questioned, "Harper, are you pregnant?" Harper didn't say anything.
Jennifer took that as her default.

mean by that? You were pregnant and hid it from us. If we hadn't found out from Lily, wouldn't we have known by now? Do you still care aboutas your mom and the Mitchell family anymore?"
Jennifer was embarrassed when she thought of the image of Lily saying that Harper was pre other women agnant then. The her were also shocked at her lack of knowledge. They even thought she didn't care about Harper and was not pleasant to her. She hadn't slept all night, but Harper hadn't made a single call to her until now. She couldn't believe Lily hadn't mentioned it to Harper.
But in the face of her questioning, Harper simply said, "I thought you weren't interested, so didn't say anything. After all, it's not something important enough to make a point of telling you about." X
