Chapter 1665
"I..."
Harper wanted to say that she didn't love Preston, but she liked him. However, as she started to speak, she hesitated. If she didn't love him, why did she care so much about him being with other women? She used to not care about these things.
Seeing that Harper herself didn't even realize whether she loved him or not, Silas's eyes softened with a hint of a smile.
"Sometimes when it comes to relationships, don't be too afraid. If you have feelings for each other, be brave once again."
Harper used to be the type of person who would love fearlessly, but after experiencing her ex-husband's betrayal and encountering the unreliable Preston, she became hesitant in matters of the heart.
But in Silas's eyes, any relationship that is worth both parties' efforts is worth being brave for. If it were him, he wouldn't have any reservations and would start anew. However...
He didn't have the chance to start anew.
Harper, who didn't realize what Silas was thinking, tightly clenched her fists and for the first time, opened up about her feelings in front of someone else.
"I have been brave before, but when I took that step, I discovered that he did something to hurt me. I retreated, became afraid, and decided to never interact with him again. But today, he tells me that what I saw was all staged and he even brought that woman to explain it to me. I don't know if I should continue to trust him."
Silas understood.
"What he did in the past made you feel insecure, so you lack trust in him."
Actually, it doesn't matter what the situation is. The crucial point is the label that Preston carries, which makes Harper, who has stumbled in mating before, unwilling to give her all.
The reason she is like this is because she loves Preston. If it were someone else, like Jayden, Harper wouldn't care if Jayden had been with other women and wouldn't be bothered by it.
"Yes, what he did in the past really makes it hard for me to believe him..."
After thinking for a moment, Silas looked at Harper, who had no sense of security.
"Has he changed for you?"
Harper carefully thought about it, Preston's changes, from being a smooth playboy to a jealous rich young man. He not only made her jealous by seeing other women, but he also occasionally insulted her with his words. The only other change was that he seemed to have fallen in love with her, but it must be said that he had matured quite a bit after her accident...
