I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 563 Provoke

"No," he responded calmly and changed the subject, "Did you go to the police?"

"Yes, I did. At first they blamed me for reporting it too late, but I did as you said. So they didn't make things difficult for me. Instead, they comforted me and said they would do their best to find you." Michelle told Frank in detail what happened when she went to the police station today.

He didn't say anything after hearing it but just said in a low voice, "Thanks."

He sounded distant, so Michelle immediately asked while crying, "Frank, what do you mean? Are you trying to be distant with me now?"

Frank raised his hand to wipe her tears, looking at her tenderly. "I don't mean to be distant with you. I just don't want to cause you any trouble."

Michelle cried even harder, feeling touched deeply.

Especially when faced with Frank's gentleness, she couldn't resist it at all.

She pressed her lips to control her emotions and said, "I am not afraid of trouble. I like being troubled by you. Frank, I stand by you unconditionally. I only believe in you."

Frank smiled, seeming very satisfied with her response.

The two of them walked to the sofa and sat down. The food on the coffee table was still hot, so Michelle took a fork and handed it to Frank. "You must not have eaten well. Just eat first. I will order two more dishes for you."

"No need. I'll just eat these." Frank refused and said, "If you order so many dishes by yourself, it will make people suspect. Because no matter how big your appetite is, you won't be able to eat so much. Understand?" Michelle then gave up and stopped ordering for him. She just sat aside and helped him get the shrimp ready.

She was very happy watching Frank and eating. After he finished eating, she quickly handed over a wet wipe to wipe his hands and mouth, and then asked, "Frank, what happened? You fell into the river while driving. What chance would you have of escaping? Do you know that I was scared to death when I saw this news?"

Frank leaned on the sofa and glanced at Michelle lightly. He did not answer the question.

He just squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Benjamin deliberately set a trap for me in the hospital to trick me. And then, he asked the police to chase me, forcing me to a desperate situation. I couldn't be caught by the police. Otherwise, you would have to go to the police station to see me now."

He avoided the main point and skipped over why he fell into the river and how he escaped from it. He pushed all the blame onto Benjamin.

Michelle asked in doubt, "Frank, why

did Benjamin do this to you? Was it just because of that project? Why did you cause trouble for his project and let him target you?"

She asked cautiously, but Frank's eyes immediately turned cold.

Frank said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would actively cause trouble for others before they provoke me?"

There was obvious displeasure in his eyes.

Michelle immediately shook her

head and denied, "I didn't mean that.

I just...Ẩm just afraid that you're

doing this for Harper, which would be totally not worth it."

"Of course not." Frank denied it expressionlessly and said, "It was Benjamin who provoked me first. I can't just let him bully me, right?"NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Michelle shook her head. "Of course not, Frank, you did the right thing. I support you."

The indifference on Frank's face gradually dissipated. He reached out to help Michelle tidy up the messy hair on her cheeks and said in a gentle voice, "Michelle, I'm glad to have you."

His actions completely stunned Michelle.

Michelle's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes and whispered, "Frank, don't be so courteous to me."

Frank's deep eyes were fixed on her.

His action made Michelle ask in confusion, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

He said, "I want to take a good look at you."

Michelle was stunned.

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Frank had always been very good to her, but she was not sure whether it was because Frank was adopted by the Parker family?
