The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1396

Chapter 1396
After Andre’s mating ceremony, Taya was busy with Jocelyn’s lawsuit, Stella was busy investigating the truth and clearing Henry’s name, and Harper was busy meeting Jayden’s
parents.
The meeting was set at the most expensive restaurant
in Arcadia, and it took a month in advance to secure a
reservation.
Mandy said that this meant the Sherwood pack valued her,
which was why they chose such a fancy restaurant for the
meeting. She was told to dress up nicely and make a good
impression on Jayden’s parents.
Harper agreed but didn’t put much effort into her appearance. She just did her usual light makeup and wore
conservative clothes before heading out.
When Harper entered the restaurant, Jayden, sitting at a
round table, immediately stood up and waved her over. “Harper, over here.”
Seeing his elegant figure, Harper felt a bit intimidated and wanted to back out. But she was already here, so she had to
put on a brave face no matter what.
She clenched her hands and walked towards Jayden, finally noticing the middle-aged couple sitting at the innermost part.
of the table.
The man was dressed in a suit with a black tie, exuding
a dignified and handsome aura that resembled Jayden. The woman had a graceful and elegant demeanor, with a charming and gentle appearance.
As soon as they saw Harper, they greeted her with smiles.
“Miss Duke, please come and sit.”
They were quite warm and welcoming, asking Harper to order
whatever she wanted while Jayden attended to the waiter.
Their friendly attitude made Harper feel nervous at first, but
she gradually relaxed.
Jayden’s father didn’t speak much, leaving most of the
questioning to Jayden’s mother, Natalie. “Miss Duke, how long have you and Jayden been together?”
Harper glanced at Jayden, who was carefully cutting the
steak. “It’s been a little over two months since we started
dating. It hasn’t been that long…”
Natalie’s gentle face carried a hint of a smile. “It hasn’t been
long. Jayden told me he’s had a crush on you since high
school. Puppy love is quite romantic, isn’t it?”
After Jayden finished cutting the steak, he placed it on Harper’s plate. Only then did she smile and respond to
Natalie’s comment. “I actually found out about this two
months ago at a blind date. I had no idea about his feelings. when we were in school together.”
Natalie’s expression slightly changed, and Jayden quickly
chimed in, “That was all one-sided on my part. Harper
probably had no clue I existed back then.”
Natalie laughed. “So, Miss Duke, were you the school’s beauty
queen or something?”
