Chapter 1629
Harper secretly glanced at him in the mirror and felt relieved when she saw that he had put on clothes. But as he walked towards her, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
If they hadn't slept together, she could still face him calmly like before. But after sleeping together, things felt different. It was like being tied up, making her extremely uncomfortable.
She held her breath as Preston approached, his hands wrapping around her waist from behind, holding her tightly.
She stiffened, while Preston acted naturally, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Harper, you were the one who seduced me last night. Since you were the one who seduced me, you should take responsibility."
What?
She seduced him first?
Harper's face turned red and she tugged at her lips. "I was drunk, I don't remember..."
In other words, she didn't remember anything, and she didn't want to take responsibility.
As Preston's hand on her waist slowly moved upwards, Harper's weakened body struggled to find a firm position.
"If you don't remember, then let me help you remember," he said.
Harper didn't know if she was at fault or just nervous. After swallowing her saliva, she grabbed the wandering hand. "Forget it."
She held onto his hand, preventing Preston from touching her, and turned to look at him. "Tell me, how should I take responsibility?"
Upon hearing these words, a satisfied smile slowly appeared on Preston's lips. "Mate me."
Mate him...
But she didn't want to go through mating again, especially not with Preston.
Reluctance filled her face, and Preston noticed it. He felt a bit sad, but pretended not to know, reaching out to grab Harper's face and make her look directly at him.
"Harper, you agreed to mate me last night. So, now you want to go back on your word?"
She agreed to mate him?
That couldn't be possible!
Harper pushed Preston away, somewhat incredulous, and turned to face him. "I would never call you that, don't make things up."
Preston raised his strong and muscular arm, leaning on the sink, and the one he was holding was Harper.
He lowered his head, looking at Harper who was a bit shorter than him. "You agreed to mate me, that's a fact. Don't try to go back on your word."
He wanted to mate her, even if he had to deceive her, he wanted to win her over.
Harper blinked her eyes twice, desperately trying to remember. It seemed like Preston did say he wanted to mate her, but did she agree?
When she didn't know how to respond, a knock on the door interrupted them. Mandy's trembling voice came from outside, "Harper, Taya is here..."
Upon hearing this, Harper quickly bent down and slipped out from under Preston's arm. "I'll go see Taya first, you stay here and don't come out."
Watching the woman slip away, Preston curled his lips, revealing a radiant smile. He had never felt such joy before, it made him incredibly happy.
