Chapter 1343
He was about to go find Harper, but when he saw her, he greeted her and asked her to sit down.
Mandy took away the leftover breakfast of Harper and brought two cups of coffee for them.
After Mandy finished her work, Harper looked at Jayden and said, “I was just about to go find you, but I didn’t expect you to come.”
Jayden didn’t ask Harper why she wanted to find him. Instead, he reached out and held Harper’s hands, sincerely apologizing to her:
“I’m sorry. I was too selfish yesterday. I actually wanted you to visit Preston on your own, but I couldn’t control myself and wanted to go with you to see him. Maybe I was afraid that you would get hurt because of him and go back to him again. That’s why I foolishly used this way to hold onto you. I didn’t expect that my appearance would anger Preston. I’m really
sorry…”
In Jayden’s eyes, there was a look of remorse. He seemed to have done something terribly wrong, appearing guilty and helpless.
Hårper shifted her gaze away from his face and looked at the hands that held her. She wanted to pull them out, but he held them tightly in his palms.
He held onto her as if holding onto a lifeline, using all his strength, gripping tightly…
“Listen to me and then decide whether to let go of my hand.”
Harper looked at Jayden, somewhat puzzled.
“What?”
Jayden took a deep breath and revealed everything.
“After I returned to the ward yesterday, I did say some unpleasant things to Preston.”
Harper thought she needed to question him before he would speak, but she didn’t expect him to admit it directly without waiting for her to ask. This left Harper unsure of how to react.
“Why did you say unpleasant things to him?”
A hint of anger slowly appeared on Jayden’s face.
“Because he doesn’t respect you. You were worried about him and rushed to see him, but what did he do? He spilled the
truits we brought and told us to leave. I was very angry at that time and I also felt that it was unfair for you. Why can he let
his girlfriend provoke you, but you can’t bring your boyfriend to see him?”
“I was angry, so I used the excuse of delivering flowers to intentionally return to the ward and say a few things to him. I went there with anger, so naturally, the words I said were not very pleasant. But I really didn’t say anything too harsh. I just stated the fact that we get along well together. Who knew he couldn’t accept it…”
“Harper, Preston’s feelings for you are not just a mere desire. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted that way. He clearly still wants to possess you. But I am your boyfriend now. With him lurking around us like this, how can I handle it?”
Jayden laid out his selfishness openly, making Harper, who even had some doubts about him, suddenly stand in his shoes and even empathize with Jayden’s thoughts and feelings. It seemed that what he did wasn’t that excessive…
