Chapter 1640
Harper couldn’t change the past, but she could make sure she wouldn’t do anything that would make her regret in the future.
“If I mate him, I won’t treat him the way I did before. I will give him everything and love him wholeheartedly. I’ll cherish him, protect him, and never betray him.”
When Harper said those, she was sincere. After all, she took relationships seriously. She devoted herself to her ex–husband, and even to Jayden, she believed that if she agreed to be someone’s girlfriend, she had to fulfill her promise. Not to mention Preston, who was different in her heart. So if they were to get mated, she would definitely treat him better.
Seeing that Harper wasn’t giving up, Kate changed her approach. “Actually, my son Preston isn’t that great. He used to be a playboy, surrounded by scandals. But that was before he met you. After being with you, he has changed a lot. At least he hasn’t been involved in any scandals frequently. I appreciate you for that. But are you willing to bet?”
Sitting on the couch with her back against it, Kate suddenly sat up straight. She placed her fair hands on the table, palms together, and looked directly into Harper’s eyes with a calm and serious expression.
“He was spoiled by us since pup period. He always wants to get what he desires immediately, just like when he wanted to mate Elsie back then. He made a big fuss, but soon after, he got tired of it and didn’t want to mate her anymore. Can you guarantee that if he suddenly proposes to you now, it’s not just a momentary impulse?”
Kate knew the hidden truth about Elsie, but intentionally said this to make Harper give up. She had investigated Harper and knew that she had given everything to her ex–husband, only to be betrayed.
She knew that women who had experienced such things would naturally be more cautious in handling relationships and mating. Kate hit Harper’s softest spot, and no one knew Preston better than his own mother. Even his mother thought it was just a momentary impulse, so Harper naturally was scared.
She had also wondered if Preston only wanted to mate her out of a sense of responsibility after they slept together. But when she was in danger, Preston silently stood by her side. He should want to mate her because he loved her, right?
However, Elsie was Preston’s first love, a fleeting romance. It was said that back then, he caused a lot of trouble for the Knight pack just to mate her. Would he treat Harper the same way?
Later on, Preston fell out of love, just as Kate said. He got tired of it and didn’t want to mate anymore. Would he be like that with her too?
When Harper’s mind was in chaos, Kate lightly tapped the table. “Ms. Duke, based on my understanding of my son, if he proposes to you now, it’s definitely just a momentary impulse.
And when he gets tired of it later, he might want to unmate again. Instead of that, you’d better cut off his thoughts first to avoid experiencing another betrayal.”
Kate was quite formidable. With just a few words, she could guide Harper to give up. But Harper felt that even if she wanted to give up, it should be Preston himself who said he didn’t want to mate, not her cutting off his thoughts.
She didn’t want to be the bad person in this situation, so she gritted her teeth and refused. “I’m sorry, I don’t have the power to influence his thoughts like that.”
When Kate heard her say this, she smiled again. “Ms. Duke, I’m offering you a trade. I’m sure you’re not interested, after all, you don’t lack money, and certainly not Preston’s love…”
Kate reached out with her well–groomed hand and grabbed Harper’s hand, holding it gently in her palm and patting it softly.
“If you let change Preston’s mind, I will guarantee the success of your career. It will thrive endlessly. If you can’t do it, well, I might have to do something myself. Of course, I won’t go as far as to make you go bankrupt. After all, you’re Taya’s friend, and I won’t do that out of respect for her. But I can make your life difficult.”
After witnessing Kate’s abilities, Harper felt even more
sympathetic towards Anthony. “No wonder Edith and Anthony broke up. With a mother like you, it’s impossible for them to stay together.”
Using gentle methods to hit someone’s weak spot and using force to cut off their path, wasn’t that how Anthony was threatened back then?
