The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1639

Chapter 1639

Kate couldn't understand Harper, and Harper had no intention of persuading Kate. She just tried to see things from Kate's perspective and acknowledge her point of view.

"If I were you, facing a woman who is nothing compared to your own son, I would be just as dissatisfied as you are. I understand you, but please also think about Preston. It was his idea to mate me, not mine to mate him. If you want me to back off, it's better to talk to him. If he is convinced and no longer wants to mate me, just let me know, and I won't bother him anymore, even avoiding him in the future…"

Harper said all this in one breath, her heart pounding. This was her first time standing firm against someone for Preston, even though she knew she was not as good as him or deserving of him. But because he loved her and she couldn't let go of him, she was determined to fight for their relationship.

Kate scrutinized Harper and after a while, she suddenly smiled. "You just said you don't love my son, and now you're saying you don't have to mate him. It seems that you don't care much about my son. If that's the case, why would you insist on mating him just because of his passion?"

Kate's question was quite profound, and Harper found it difficult to express herself and lowered her head.

Seeing her reaction, Kate continued, "Setting aside your personal background, academic abilities, and all that, just this point alone, I think every mother would want their future daughter-in-law to wholeheartedly love their son. If you can't even do that, what makes you think I can convince my son?"

Upon hearing this, Harper's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly.

If it weren't for the one-night stand, she probably wouldn't have considered mating again. But after the one-night stand and hearing Preston say he must mate her, she couldn't help but waver in her determination. However, the root of her wavering was not just Preston's words of wanting to mate her. It was her realization that deep down, she hadn't let go of Preston yet, which made her want to take another risk.

However, in terms of deep love, it couldn't compare to Taya and Griffon. At least in Harper's eyes, her relationship with Preston was fragile. Preston was used to being fickle; she didn't know if he would continue to love her in the future.

Harper had no sense of security about this, so she dared only say she liked Preston, not that she loved him. She wanted to control her feelings, so as not to completely collapse or go crazy if she was betrayed.
