    Chapter 1402


    Jayden had always been like this. When someone criticized her in person, he didn’t say anything, but


    he apologizedter at a suitable time. And the excuses he came up with were always


    so reasonable, making Harper wonder if she’s being too


    suspicious.


    Later, Harper learned that it’s called gaslighting, but at the moment, she didn’t know. She just thought


    that Jayden finally helped her…


    Natalie was afraid that Harper wouldn’t have enough to eat,


    so she ordered two more dishes for her. While serving the

    food, Natalie smiled and asked, “Miss Duke, when do you n to get mated? My pack wants to


    prepare in advance.”


    Harper lifted her clear eyes and looked at Natalie and Martin. “Uncle and Aunt, I haven’t been dating


    Jayden for long. We still don’t know much about each other’s personalities, values, and thoughts. I


    want to spend more time together and talk about matingter.”


    Harper could tell that Jayden’s parents didn’t think highly of her. Coincidentally, because of their


    previous conflicts, she also had no intention of getting mated. She nned to listen. to Taya’s advice


    and take more time to see if they were


    compatible. Rushing into matinge would be toote if they discovered it wasn’t right.


    Hearing this, Natalie was still quite happy, but it was Harper who rejected the proposal first, which


    made her feel


    protective of her son. “Jayden has had a crush on you since high school. Isn’t all this time enough to


    understand each


    other?”


    Harper responded gracefully with a bright smile. “Jayden understanding of me is certainly enough, but


    my understanding of him is only a little over two months.”


    Natalie and Martin felt awkward, and Harper didn’t care about their feelings. She just smiled and looked


    at Jayden. “Senior, what do you think?”


    If it weren’t for Preston, Harper probably would have agreed right away. Jayden instantly felt a bit more


    resentment towards Preston, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he graciously picked out the fish bones, put


    the fish slices on Harper’s te, and said, “Take as much time as you want to talk. I’ll listen to


    you.”


    Relieved that she wasn’t being pressured into mating, Harper let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t even


    realize that she had be more cheerful while eating.


    After the four of them left the restaurant, Anthony raised his


    hand and reached for his phone. “I’ll edit this recording when I get back and send it to Miss Duke.”


    The man next to him gave him a cold nce. “Don’t meddle in


    other people’s business.”


    Anthony, who had put his phone in his suit pocket, suddenly


    paused. “Preston, are you saying you don’t n to get


    involved in Miss Duke’s affairs?”
