Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 877

When Harper returned to the Harmony Palace, the maids had already prepared hot water and fresh clean clothes for her. Her eyelashes trembled a little while she looked at the steam over the hot water in the bathtub. Rolando had always been so considerate to her. She had been used to it for so long that she didn't feel like anything was wrong with the way he was treating her. But right then, Harper realized that she had been sitting on pins and needles all this time.

"Hmm?" Patrick tried to speak but it sounded more of a squeak. It looked at Harper in confusion. It couldn't understand what she was thinking.

Harper put the creature down and said, "I'm fine."

Harper started dipping herself into the tub while Patrick was playing outside. Suddenly, it heard Harper call it. Instantly, its eyes lit up. It dashed to the screen and looked up at Harper, drooling a little. 'Are you finally willing to let me see you naked?' it thought.

"Matthew has arrived in the capital, right?" Harper asked. She then sank into the water, leaving only her head above it. Patrick jumped unto the bathtub and stood on its edge. Then, it couldn't help but regretfully sigh. The water was covered by petals, so it couldn't see anything in the tub, no matter how hard it tried.

"Hmmm, Hmmm," Patrick answered, without much energy.

"If he has arrived in the capital, why hasn't he come to me?" Harper asked in confusion. With how she knew her husband, Matthew would have come to her as soon as he arrived, so she couldn't understand why he hadn't.

Upon hearing Harper's question, Patrick jumped up and down, as if it was dancing on the edge of the bathtub. It not only jumped here and there, but also pretended to be very powerful and vicious. As Harper was amused by it, the expression on her face lit up.

"Do you mean to say that Matthew has already come to the palace to look for me, but someone drove him away?" Harper asked. From the happiness in Patrick's eyes, she could clearly figure out that it was taking pleasure in Matthew's misfortune. It was as if seeing Matthew being defeated and driven out by others bring Patrick so much joy. Understandably, because Matthew had never been kind to Patrick, it could not be happier when it saw Matthew suffer. After all, it was very rare that the prince was frustrated.

"Who drove him away?" Harper asked.

Upon hearing the question, Patrick suddenly pinched its two fingers and wriggled its fat hip in a sultry way. It waddled along the edge of the bathtub. When Harper noticed that it was evidently imitating someone, the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch. "Miguel?" she guessed, though she was almost sure.

Patrick desperately nodded. Then it put its two hands on its hips, pretending to be serious. While looking straight on, it suddenly turned around with a nasty smile shown on its head. Harper almost burst into laughter at the sight of its imitation. "And Rolando?"

In order to peep at Harper's naked body, Patrick then squatted on the edge of the bathtub and tried to catch the petals over the water with its claw. While it was so concentrated on its goal, it didn't even notice the dangerous expression on Harper's face. Imagining what it was about to see, it felt very excited. All of a sudden, however, its head was grabbed and directly pressed into the water. It happened so fast that Patrick couldn't even react, so it was actually choked by the water. When it finally raised its head, Harper was already dressed up. She was sitting on the side and wiping her wet long hair with a towel.
