Chapter 1639
Kate couldn’t understand Harper, and Harper had no intention of persuading Kate. She just tried to see things from Kate’s perspective and acknowledge her point of view.
“If I were you, facing a woman who is nothing compared to your own son, I would be just as dissatisfied as you are. I understand you, but please also think about Preston. It was his idea to mate me, not mine to mate him. If you want me to back off, it’s better to talk to him. If he is convinced and no longer wants to mate me, just let me know, and I won’t bother him anymore, even avoiding him in the future…”
Harper said all this in one breath, her heart pounding. This was her first time standing firm against someone for Preston, even though she knew she was not as good as him or deserving of him. But because he loved her and she couldn’t let go of him, she was determined to fight for their relationship.
Kate scrutinized Harper and after a while, she suddenly smiled. “You just said you don’t love my son, and now you’re saying you don’t have to mate him. It seems that you don’t care much about my son. If that’s the case, why would you insist on mating him just because of his passion?”
Kate’s question was quite profound, and Harper found it difficult to express herself and lowered her head.
Seeing her reaction, Kate continued, “Setting aside your personal background, academic abilities, and all that, just this point alone, I think every mother would want their future daughter–in–law to wholeheartedly love their son. If you can’t even do that, what makes you think I can convince my son?”
Upon hearing this, Harper’s lowered eyelashes trembled slightly.
If it weren’t for the one–night stand, she probably wouldn’t have considered mating again. But after the one–night stand and hearing Preston say he must mate her, she couldn’t help but waver in her determination. However, the root of her wavering was not just Preston’s words of wanting to mate her.
It was her realization that deep down, she hadn’t let go of Preston yet, which made her want to take another risk.
However, in terms of deep love, it couldn’t compare to Taya and Griffon. At least in Harper’s eyes, her relationship with Preston was fragile. Preston was used to being fickle; she didn’t know if he would continue to love her in the future.
Harper had no sense of security about this, so she dared only say she liked Preston, not that she loved him. She wanted to control her feelings, so as not to completely collapse or go crazy if she was betrayed.
She didn’t want to become a hysterical woman or an abandoned wife. She could only remain calm by restraining her emotions.
But obviously, these words were something Kate couldn’t understand. Kate was born into a wealthy pack, had a comfortable life since pup period, and even had a husband who loved her wholeheartedly. She naturally couldn’t empathize.
Harper didn’t want to speak ill of her son in front of Kate either.
Harper’s silence made Kate feel even more sorry for Preston. “I’m speaking here. I’ve always been direct. Besides what I mentioned before, there’s another thing that really bothers me.”
Harper slowly raised her head and asked Kate in confusion, “Did I do something wrong to you?”
Kate shook her head, but there was a hint of anger in her indifferent eyes. “Before, my son got into an accident because of you, crashing into Johnny’s car. It was the first time I saw him injured. After managing to save him and sending him to the hospital, he was provoked by your ex–boyfriend and needed rescue again. Do you know how angry I was when I received that rescue call in the middle of the night? My perfectly fine son, getting injured for you once was bad enough, but you actually allowed
your ex–boyfriend to make him suffer a second time. Seeing him lying helpless in the hospital bed, it broke my heart.”
In Kate’s eyes, Harper was a jinx who caused harm. However, at that time, she had no right to say anything to Harper and could only let Preston do as he pleased. But now that the matter of mating was brought up and it reached her, she had to intervene. At the very least, she wanted to make these things clear.
“Anthony, at least, loved Edith wholeheartedly and was willing to give everything for her. But what about you? You don’t love my son, and you don’t cherish him. How can I, as his mother, feel at ease letting him mate you?”
Harper felt guilty about Preston being provoked to the point of needing rescue. She deeply regretted it and lowered her head. “I’m sorry. I misjudged people and caused trouble for him, making him suffer and get hurt…”
In this matter, Harper didn’t try to defend herself. It was only natural for a mother to be heartbroken for her son in such a situation.
She also agreed with Kate’s words. She hadn’t really cherished Preston before and always thought of their relationship as a casual fling that would eventually end. She forced herself not to care about him, but people you don’t care about are easy to neglect…
Moreover, when Preston talked to her, he was indifferent and didn’t take her seriously. Even when they broke up, it was just a simple “okay,” quickly ending their relationship that could be considered insignificant. Who could have known that after the breakup, he would become entangled and even insist on mating her…
