The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1651

Chapter 1651

Kate lowered her eyelashes slowly upon hearing those words.

What was she really worried about?

In the past, she worried that Anthony, a person like him, was not worthy of Edith. She went to great lengths to break them up, only to discover that Anthony had his reasons.

Now, she worries that a woman like Harper is not worthy of Preston and wants to break them up too, but...

If one day, she suddenly realizes, like she did with Anthony, that Harper is not the person she thought she was, will she regret her actions today, just like she regretted breaking up Anthony?

As this thought arose, Kate broke out in a cold sweat. She hadn't even reached that point yet, so why was she having such thoughts? Could this be the lingering aftermath of past mistakes?

Thinking about how Edith looked devastated after losing Anthony, and how she cut off all ties with her after learning the truth, Kate felt a chill run down her spine. Did she not lose a daughter already? Did she want to lose a son as well?

Seeing Kate lost in thought, Griffon seized the opportunity to speak: "What if you let Preston mate Ms. Duke once? If Preston really is as you say, that he wants to mate Ms. Duke because he didn't get you, then they will eventually unmated. By then, you can find a suitable daughter-in-law for Preston, and he won't resent you. He will appreciate you as a mother who always looks out for him. But if you dampen his enthusiasm now, not only will you ruin his chance at mating, but you will also damage your relationship with him. Why bother with such a thankless task?"

After listening, Kate had an epiphany. Yes, Preston was different from Edith. He was the CEO of the Knight North America division. Even if it was a second mating, there were plenty of women who would be interested in him. Why should she worry?

But the current situation, as Preston had said, was not about whether she agreed or not. It was about her apologizing to Harper. The thought of Harper potentially becoming her daughter-in-law made Kate even more unwilling to apologize.
