Chapter 1551
After casually muttering those words, even Preston himself hesitated for a moment. At the same time, Harper was left
stunned in place. He was facing the couch, so it was impossible for him to see her.
Harper lowered her head, remembering that when they were together, the first thing Preston said after waking up from a hangover was to ask her for hangover medicine. It was her habit to feed him hangover medicine to relieve his stomach, and it was his habit to rely on her care. That was why he muttered such words.
After a moment of daze, Preston chuckled self-deprecatingly. Harper didn’t pay much attention to him anymore, so how could she take care of him? It was just wishful thinking.
He threw the pillow in his hand and turned around, only to see Harper holding a glass of water appearing in front of him.
Startled after recognizing Harper’s figure, Preston exclaimed,
“What are you doing here?”
“Griffon asked me to come pick you up,” Harper replied.
After saying that, Harper bent down and brought the glass of water to Preston’s lips. “There’s no hangover medicine here. Drink
some water to ease it for now.”
at Harper, then at the water she
handed him. Feeling a mixture of surprise and joy, he opened his lips and slowly drank the glass of water.
And Preston found it strange that mineral water never had a taste, but at this moment, he could taste a hint of sweetness. Could it be that the water in the capital city was better than in Arcadia?
Seeing Preston finish the whole glass of water, Harper finally put down the cup and approached him. “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
When her soft fingers touched his arm, Preston’s heart trembled. A tingling sensation passed through him like an electric current, making even his limbs feel weak.
After standing up, Preston lowered his gaze and saw that Harper was half a head shorter than him, yet she was exerting strength to support his tall body. “Thank you…”
Harper shook her head. “Where did you park your car?”
With a pounding headache, Preston turned to look at his coat, wanting to bend down and retrieve the keys from inside. However, due to his instability, he suddenly fell backward onto the couch, with Harper, who was supporting him, falling together.
Coincidentally, Preston was lying on his back, and Harper was on top of him. In that moment of falling, their lips brushed against
each other.
It was just a light touch, fleeting, but it left both of them
dumbfounded in place. Harper was the first to react and tried to get up from him, but Preston grabbed her waist.
“Harper…”
He called her name, but didn’t say anything. The desire that flickered in his eyes was undeniably obvious.
He had wanted her for two years, but there hadn’t been a successful attempt. He could only suppress this desire deep in his heart.
Perhaps it was the accumulation of pent-up emotions, or perhaps it was due to drinking too much that Preston couldn’t control himself. He held the back of Harper’s head, slightly tilted her chin, and kissed her.
The moment his lips met hers, Preston’s heart raced uncontrollably. He even tightened his grip on her waist instinctively.
