Chapter 1466
Harper set down her cup and calmly looked at Jayden sitting across from her.
“Before we start drinking, I have three things I want to ask you,” she said.
Jayden also set down his glass and looked at Harper.
“What are the three things?” he asked.
Harper took out her phone, opened the recording, and played it for Jayden.
As soon as he heard the first word, Jayden’s gentle expression turned dark.
“Did you record this?” he asked.
Did she turn on the phone’s recording function when she went to
the bathroom?
If that’s the case, Harper’s intentions were not as innocent as he
seem.
Harper didn’t expect Jayden’s first reaction to be suspicion that she recorded it, rather than realizing his own mistake..
She smiled, her beautiful and expressive eyes seemed to be
veiled in mist, making her look both hazy and obscure.
“I don’t know who was kind enough to record it for me, but I appreciate it for letting me know how you and your parents see me,” she said.
Upon hearing this, Jayden anxiously reached out his hand to grab her phone, but Harper avoided him.
“Jayden, I ask you, what do you mean when you say you haven’t ‘gotten’ me and therefore can’t be content?” she said.
Seeing disappointment in Harper’s eyes, Jayden knew that once he answered these three questions, she would break up with him.
He didn’t try to argue that the recording was fake. Instead, he picked up the scissors used to cut the steak on the table and snipped the wick of the scented candle.
The light on the table became brighter, and the already fragrant candle became even more so…
He stared at the flickering candlelight for a while before shifting his gaze back to Harper.
“I like you, so my desire to have you is instinctual. I believe Preston would feel the same way,” he said.
She was asking about him, but he brought up Preston, trying to change the subject and shift her suspicions onto him.
If before, Harper couldn’t see through Jayden’s scheming words, at this moment, she saw it crystal clear.
“I’ve already told you that I’ve completely cut ties with Preston, so why do you still bring him up?” she asked.
“If you really cut ties with him, then how did you receive this recording?” Jayden retorted.
Harper was stunned by his counter-question.
“Do you suspect that Preston recorded this?” she asked.
Jayden glanced at Harper and took a sip from his glass.
“He must have known in advance that I was taking you to meet my parents, he deliberately followed us, and took the opportunity to record it, then sent it to you using a random number when the time was right.”
