The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716
Harper leaned against the car door and looked at him
helplessly, “What the f*ck do you want?”
With a cold face, Preston unfolded his overcoat and wrapped
it around her. He then put his hands on the roof of the car behind her and bent over to trap her.
“Harper Duke, let me ask you something. If I mate you, are you going to stop fooling around?”
“She just went on a blind date in the afternoon and was meeting another guy just now. Am I nothing to her?” He wondered unhappily.
When Harper heard the word ‘mate’, she was stunned, but the last sentence upset her.
“Preston, listen carefully- I will not mate you! As for me fooling around, it has nothing to do with you because I’m not your girlfriend, okay?”
She pushed him off her, then turned around to open the car door, but he hugged her from behind.
Probably due to the good genes of the Knight pack, Preston
2/4
was rather tall and was a head taller than her when he did so.
Preston buried his chin in Harper’s neck and nudged it weakly.
“I found out that I’ve always wanted to look for you and to see you since we broke up.”
He paused for a while, then said in a deep and somber voice, “I think I’ve probably fallen in love with you a bit…”
Stunned, Harper turned her head, “Have you been drinking again?”
Every time he got drunk, he would say something nice to coax her to be with him again.
Preston shook his head, “Not this time.”
Harper looked ahead at the snowfl akes falling under the streetlights, then looked over her shoulder at him after a
moment of silence.
“All of your former girlfriends would beg and pester you after you dumped them, but not me. That’s why you think I’m
special, Actually…”
Harper paused for a moment, and when she spoke again her gaze had become firm with clarity, “You thought you have fallen in love, but the truth is that you just couldn’t accept that
someone you lost has moved on completely.”
Preston froze and stared at the beautiful and expressive face as he asked in disbelief, “You have moved on?”
Although they broke up a long time ago, Harper had never said that she had moved on, and that made him think that she
somehow still liked him.
But now…. she suddenly told him that she had moved on. Did it mean that all his efforts in trying to win her back were nothing but a joke to her?
Instead of recognizing his disappointment, Harper said nonchalantly, “We weren’t even that deeply in love during those few years. Isn’t it normal for me to move on after breaking up for so long?”
Feeling suffocated, Preston grew irritable at the same time.
Holding her tighter subconsciously, he said through clenched teeth, “Repeat what you said just now.”
Raising her snow-covered eyelashes, Harper stared at his
gloomy face and said softly, “I’ve moved on.”
Preston felt his chest tightening, so much so that he could hardly breathe.
But such overwhelming anguish could not match the resentment brought upon by her words.
“I’m an idiot to have come look for you so many times!”
He was so angry that he let her go and stalked off after telling her that he would never look for her again.
Standing where she was, Harper touched the overcoat that he had wrapped around her and slowly lowered her head…
It wasn’t that she didn’t have the courage to accept Preston, but that she did not have it in her to try mating again.
“Besides…” Harper thought as she turned her head to stare after Preston as he left in his car.
“It seems like this young man is still a pup at heart…”
