Chapter 1640
Harper couldn't change the past, but she could make sure she wouldn’t do anything that would make her regret in the future.
"If I mate him, I won't treat him the way I did before. I will give him everything and love him wholeheartedly. I’ll cherish him, protect him, and never betray him."
When Harper said those, she was sincere. After all, she took relationships seriously. She devoted herself to her ex-husband, and even to Jayden, she believed that if she agreed to be someone's girlfriend, she had to fulfill her promise. Not to mention Preston, who was different in her heart. So if they were to get mated, she would definitely treat him better.
Seeing that Harper wasn't giving up, Kate changed her approach. "Actually, my son Preston isn't that great. He used to be a playboy, surrounded by scandals. But that was before he met you. After being with you, he has changed a lot. At least he hasn't been involved in any scandals frequently. I appreciate you for that. But are you willing to bet?"
Sitting on the couch with her back against it, Kate suddenly sat up straight. She placed her fair hands on the table, palms together, and looked directly into Harper's eyes with a calm and serious expression.
"He was spoiled by us since pup period. He always wants to get what he desires immediately, just like when he wanted to mate Elsie back then. He made a big fuss, but soon after, he got tired of it and didn't want to mate her anymore. Can you guarantee that if he suddenly proposes to you now, it's not just a momentary impulse?"
Kate knew the hidden truth about Elsie, but intentionally said this to make Harper give up. She had investigated Harper and knew that she had given everything to her ex-husband, only to be betrayed.
She knew that women who had experienced such things would naturally be more cautious in handling relationships and mating. Kate hit Harper's softest spot, and no one knew Preston better than his own mother. Even his mother thought it was just a momentary impulse, so Harper naturally was scared.
She had also wondered if Preston only wanted to mate her out of a sense of responsibility after they slept together. But when she was in danger, Preston silently stood by her side. He should want to mate her because he loved her, right?
