Chapter 1369
Jayden’s face became increasingly grim.
“That’s because I’ve been too busy…”
“It’s not because you’re busy, it’s because when you don’t
see her, you can’t remember her. But when you do see her,
you think she’s not bad, and that stirs up the feelings of our younger days.”
In reality, Jayden’s love for Harper may not be as strong as
Preston’s, but Anthony couldn’t say that out loud. After all,
Harper was now Jayden’s girlfriend. If Harper and Jayden
had a falling out, Jayden could use this against her, causing Harper unnecessary trouble.
Anthony’s criticism left Jayden speechless.
“You’re a lawyer, I can’t argue with you.”
Jayden said this and walked away. After leaving the hospital, he looked at the candy in his hand for a while, then threw it in
the trash.
Once he got in the car, he called Harper on his phone.
No matter what Preston’s friends said about him, he didn’t
care.
But he needed to explain the incident with Silas provoking Griffon to Harper as soon as possible.
At least before Harper found out everything, he needed to be
proactive so that she would believe him.
Harper, who was absent-mindedly eating her meal, heard his call but didn’t really want to answer. However, he kept calling
several times in a row, so she had no choice but to answer.
Jayden asked her where she was, and she said she was eating out. Jayden wanted to go see her, but Harper said Stella and Taya were with her, and if there was anything he wanted to
talk about, he should wait until she gets back.
When Jayden heard Stella’s name, he seemed to have already guessed what she would say. His eyes flickered, but he didn’t say much, just reminded Harper to eat well.
After hanging up the phone, Jayden drove straight to Harper’s villa and sat in the garden waiting for her. He waited for a long time, until it was dark, before Harper finally came back in
her car.
As soon as Harper entered the house, she noticed that Jayden seemed nervous, standing up as if he had done something
terribly wrong, looking completely lost.
“Did Stella explain everything that happened today to you?”
Harper thought he would act as if nothing had happened, but
she didn’t expect him to bring it up first.
“Yeah.”
She nodded and walked towards Jayden.
“You’re waiting for me here, is there something you want to
talk to me about?”
Harper wanted to hear Jayden’s explanation.
