Chapter 1634
After watching Koenigsek drive away, Harper returned to the master bedroom.
Inside, Preston stood by the floor–to–ceiling window like a male model, unmoving, staring at the car that had disappeared in the distance downstairs.
Harper couldn’t help but cough lightly when she saw him. “They’re gone. When are you leaving?”
Preston, who was smiling brightly like he had won a victory, quickly put away his smile and turned to look at Harper when he heard her voice.
Seeing her neatly dressed, he squinted slightly. “I don’t have any clothes to wear. How about you let me stay for another night?”
There was a hidden emotion in his eyes, somewhat obscure, but Harper understood clearly what he was suggesting.
She pretended not to notice and turned to open the closet in the master bedroom, taking out a set of men’s clothing and handing it to Preston.
When Preston saw that there were other men’s clothes in her room, his expression darkened, but he knew he didn’t have the right to question her at this moment, so he gritted his teeth and refused. “I’ll have my assistant send clothes over later.”
Implicitly, he meant that he wouldn’t wear other men’s clothes. After glancing at him, Harper shook out a shirt, turned the collar out, and held it up to Preston’s face.
When Preston’s eyes touched the brand, he felt a surge of joy and quickly reached out to take it. “Why are you still keeping my clothes?”
On the day when Harper returned everything to Preston, she didn’t know what happened, but she inexplicably left behind a set of clothes, probably as a memento. She didn’t expect it to come in handy now, but she wouldn’t admit to secretly keeping a man’s clothes.
“Mandy forgot to pack it, so I kept a set.”
Preston stared into Harper’s eyes, unable to determine whether her words were true or false. He simply reached out and hugged her along with the clothes.
Harper struggled a few times, but Preston’s strength was too strong, and she couldn’t break free. She could only let him come close to her ear.
“Consider it the clothes you can’t forget about me.”
Harper pushed him away forcefully. “Hurry up and change your clothes and leave. I’m annoyed.”
Seeing her turn to leave, Preston grabbed Harper again and hugged her.
“Harper, I still want you.”
He deliberately rubbed his cheek against Harper’s neck.
“One more time, okay?”
The tingling sensation from the friction made Harper’s body stiff, and her ears gradually turned red. She raised her hand to push Preston’s head away, but he didn’t listen. He leaned in and captured her lips, kissing her with desire.
Compared to the madness of last night, Preston was obviously much gentler at this moment. However, just one kiss suffocated Harper and made her body go weak…
There were two conflicting thoughts fighting in her mind. She had been drunk last night, which made her do irrational things. Now that she was sober, she needed to push him away quickly…
Harper hesitated, but before she could make a decision, Preston pushed her down onto the sofa. Outside the floor–to–ceiling window, the sunset faded away, and darkness gradually descended…
Harper pushed Preston away with some difficulty, panting for breath. She clenched her small fists and waved them in front of Preston’s face.
“If you mess around again, be careful I’ll punch you!”
Looking at her fierce appearance, the smile in Preston’s eyes deepened.
He grabbed both of Harper’s hands with one hand and pressed them onto the sofa, making her unable to move. Then, he leaned close to Harper’s face.
“Harper, thank you for still having me in your heart…”
When Taya had said that Harper still had him in her heart, he couldn’t feel it. Now he felt it. Harper didn’t resist him after what she had been through, which meant that he still had a place in her heart. As long as she had him in her heart, everything was worth it.
With his other hand, Preston brushed away the messy hair that covered Harper’s face. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead with utmost sincerity and seriousness.
“I’ll go inform my parents and propose to you again. Stay at home and wait for me, okay?”
A strange emotion rippled in Harper’s heart…
She didn’t respond to Preston verbally, but in her heart, she silently agreed. Preston couldn’t hear it, but he took it as her approval.
After kissing her forehead and cheek again, Preston let go of her and, still smiling, deliberately loosened his towel…
Harper, who had previously felt somewhat touched, screamed in fright at the sight and jumped up, slapping his head.
“You’re asking for death!”
After slapping him, Harper pushed him away and covered her face, running out of the master bedroom.
Watching her fleeing figure, Preston rubbed his slightly sore forehead and the curve of his lips deepened…
From last night until now, the smile on his face hadn’t faded.
Preston thought that this moment might be the happiest moment of his life.
After changing his clothes, Preston left the villa and didn’t see Harper, but it didn’t matter. They would see each other again soon.
Preston returned to his own home, cleaned up, randomly picked a car from the garage, and headed towards the old house…
