Chapter 1408
Harper didn’t believe it and insisted on clarifying things with
Grace. But Grace would occasionally throw out some clever
remarks, leaving Harper speechless.
“Kids these days are something else. They have clear minds and quick brains,” Grace said.
Just as Stella walked in, she heard this and said, “I tested Grace’s IQ, and it’s higher than yours. Don’t treat her like a
pup!”
Harper asked if it was true, and Stella smiled and said, “With her parents being so outstanding, the pup is surely not lacking
in any way.”
After Stella and Harper arrived, Taya waited for them to play Lego with Grace for a while before taking them to the
recreation area.
After the nanny brewed coffee and served dessert, she finally asked Harper, “Did you go to meet Jayden’s parents today? How did it go?”
Harper came to Blue Bay Island to talk to Taya about these things. “His father didn’t say much, but his mother looked
down on my background and job. It wasn’t too obvious, but I
could still sense it from her words.”
Taya and Harper were both orphans, so they naturally understood how it feels to be looked down upon. “Did Jayden
speak up for you?”
Harper shook her head and then nodded. He didn’t say
anything while I was there, but when I came out of the restroom, his mother had a change in attitude. He must have said something.”
Stella, who was more concerned about the outcome, saw that Harper was uncertain and asked, “So what are your plans? Are you ready to get mated, or…”
Harper waved her hand. “His mother isn’t completely satisfied with me, and I don’t want to rush into mating either. So, I postponed the topic in front of his parents.”
Taya asked, “Did Jayden agree?”
Harper made a sound of agreement. “He did. He said he
would listen to me.”
Taya and Stella exchanged glances, seemingly unsure of how to evaluate the situation. Finally, Stella spoke first, “Taking it slow is also fine. After all, you haven’t been together for very long. You haven’t fully grasped each other’s personalities and
character. Don’t rush into mating.”
If it weren’t for Jayden framing Henry, Stella might consider Jayden a good candidate for mating. But now, she just hoped that this man wouldn’t harm Harper.
Fortunately, Harper decided to postpone the mating. ceremony after meeting Jayden’s parents, so there was still time. If They hadn’t broken up yet, how could Harper investigate Jayden without any reservations?
Stella didn’t dare to make decisions on her own. She left the
medicine given by the doctor with Taya and used the excuse of having something to do at the hospital to leave Blue Bay Island. She then drove to the Knight’ company and went to report the situation to Griffon.
After listening, Griffon asked calmly, “Did the people you sent find anything?”
