Chapter 1372
Harper’s eyes, filled with complex emotions, gradually took
on a disappointed hue. “Since being with you, there have
only been two occasions. Once in the capital, and now. Otherwise, Preston has always kept his promise, avoiding me
whenever he sees me. But you speculate that he is constantly
bothering me, which means that in your heart, you also see
me as someone who can’t settle down, is that what you mean,
senior?”
The word “senior” sounded heavy, hitting Jayden’s heart and making him feel guilty instinctively. “It’s not like that. I trust your and I know that you have always rejected Preston. It’s Preston’s own fault for persistently pursuing you even when you have a boyfriend. I also made a mistake by speculating about you. I’m sorry, I spoke out of line and disappointed you.”
Harper stared at him quietly for a while, then calmly spoke, “Senior, I’ve realized… you’re not suitable for me. Let’s break
up.”
Upon hearing these words, Jayden panicked. “Don’t say that. My parents know that you’re the girl I’ve had a secret crush on since high school. They value you a lot, which is why they postponed everything and took a long vacation to come see you. Please don’t break up with me because of your
ex-boyfriend’s actions. I can’t bear it, and neither can my
parents…”
Orphans like Harper hold great respect for their parents. It’s
because of their involvement that Harper feels guilty about breaking up with Jayden, especially when he traveled a long distance just to see her…
While Harper was struggling, Jayden grabbed her hand and suddenly it started bleeding. The bright red blood soaked through the bandage, staining his own hand and dropping onto Harper’s hand.
Jayden released her hand, then lifted the blood-stained hand and presented it to Harper. “Do you know that I’ve never kneeled down to anyone before? But Alpha forced me to kneel to help his brother. Faced with such tyranny, I could only resist
him with Silas…”
Even though Alpha didn’t say anything, it was Jayden who provoked Silas first. It wasn’t just once, but twice, that Alpha forced him to kneel. It had nothing to do with helping Preston. Jayden just wanted to twist the facts. If Stella were here, she would definitely expose his true intentions.
But Stella wasn’t there, and Harper didn’t know the exact sequence of events. She only knew what Jayden said, and now, Jayden’s words made it difficult for Harper to respond.
