Chapter 1654
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Preston, but even Kate couldn't understand.
She had already come to apologize in person, so Harper didn't need to play hard to get anymore, right?
However, Harper wasn't playing hard to get at all. She really didn't want Preston anymore.
She grabbed Kate's hand, stuffed the black card into it, and quickly walked away.
Seeing this, Preston went crazy and chased after her, grabbing her and pulling her into his arms.
"If you think my mom's apology isn't sincere enough, just tell me. I'll make her apologize again. Don't say you won't mate me."
Preston's embrace was like a vine, wrapping around her, making it difficult for Harper to break free and also causing her pain.
He had embraced Elsie, Kayla, and countless other women before, and she used to not care, but now she felt dirty.
She didn't even want to talk to him, just struggling to push him away, but Preston held onto her tightly, as if he would disappear if he let go.
"Harper, it was my mom's fault. She realized her mistake and came to apologize, which means she won't stop us in the future. Please calm down and don't reject me because of this."
Harper, unable to break free, smelled the fragrance on Preston's body, reminding her of the pungent smell of alcohol that night. It made her feel nauseous and pushed him away frantically.
"Let go of me!"
But Preston wouldn't let go, holding onto her tightly.
"I finally see you, how could I let go of you!"
His tight embrace was like a shackle, binding Harper, keeping her locked in.
She couldn't control her emotions and suddenly exploded -
"Don't touch me, don't touch me, I said don't touch me!"
The deafening roar and hysterical shoving frightened both Preston and Harper herself.
She slowly lifted her head and looked at Preston...
In his eyes, she saw her reflection...
Not the gentle and elegant appearance from before, but a distorted and resentful expression.
She was afraid of becoming a shrew, but because of that 50% love, she had become the person she feared.
In the end, she had become such a shrew...
Her strong resistance made Preston slowly release his grip.
Were there other factors besides his mother's interference?
As Harper calmed down, she slowly lifted her chin and looked at the man blocking her path, but keeping his distance.
"You know it yourself. Why do I have to point it out and embarrass us both?"
These cryptic words left Preston scratching his head in confusion.
"What do I know?"
What was he supposed to know?
Seeing him feign ignorance, Harper felt more and more disappointed in Preston.
That night, when Elsie asked him if he was comfortable, he responded, but now he acted as if he knew nothing.
"It's impossible between us. Don't come looking for me anymore."
She left these words behind and turned to leave, but Preston, who was still in a daze, chased after her again.
"Explain yourself clearly. Even if you won't mate me, at least tell me the reason."
Was it because of his mother or something else? He had to know the reason.
