Chapter 1641


    Harper mentioned Edith and Anthony, and Kate, who always maintained a gentle smile, looked slightly


    serious as if she had thought of something, and she let go of Harper’s hand.


    “Don’t me me for being heartless. Which parent wouldn’t worry about their own pup? If you were


    born into a better family, had a higher education, and were more virtuous, how could I not ept you?”


    Kate had learned her lesson from Anthony and Edith’s situation and didn’t want to interfere in her son’s


    affairs anymore. But from her perspective, Harper couldn’tpare to even Anthony’s pinky finger, yet


    she wanted to be her daughter–inw. How could this work?


    “In fact, wealthy packs really emphasize the match between social backgrounds. Because of the


    different upbringing, thoughts, vision, values, and knowledge, it’s only the hormones that attract you to


    each other now. Once that passion fades, you’ll realize the importance of differences.”


    Out of everything Kate said, this sentence hit Harper’s self–esteem the hardest and left her unable to


    argue back. Harper clenched her fist, then slowly released it and looked up at Kate, her eyes showing a


    hint of exhaustion…


    She didn’t speak, appearing hesitant and deep in thought. Kate couldn’t see through her, so she


    continued:


    “Although Griffon and Taya are the best example of social mismatch, Griffon is different from Preston.


    He can tolerate Taya without limits, regardless of her own shorings or whatever mistakes she may


    make. I dare say that even if Taya were to cheat one day, Griffon would still love her. But Preston


    wouldn’t.”


    “He’s still childish and immature. In his eyes, what he can’t have is the best. Once he gets it, the


    novelty wears off. When that happens, think about what you’ll do.”


    Kate’s words struck deep within Harper’s soul,ying bare all her fears and making her feel tightness in


    her chest. It also made her waver, but she couldn’t find any words to say in response…


    Seeing Harper’s hesitating expression, Kate knew her words had an effect. She let go of Harper’s hand


    and reached for her expensive bag on the couch. She opened it and took out a ck card, handing it to


    Harper.


    “That’s all I have to say. Go home and think carefully about whether you want to mate my son or not. If


    you choose not to, the card is yours. But if you still choose to mate him, be prepared for interference in


    your store and your future life. The decision is in your hands…”


    After saying this, Kate left, her elegant figure swaying and her footsteps light and graceful, but in


    Harper’s eyes, it felt like a heavy mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe…


    Feeling suffocated, she couldn’t help but pick up the ck card. The dim light imprinted on Harper’s


    face, revealing a pale, bloodlessplexion….


    She sat in the café for a long time, finally putting the card back in her bag and getting up to leave.


    When she returned home, she filled the bathtub with water and rxed her tense nerves as shey in


    it. Her mind shed with the image of Preston holding her in the bathtub…


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Did Preston want to mate her out of responsibility for sleeping with her, or was it because of love? Why


    couldn’t she differentiate anymore?


    With her thoughts in disarray, Harper buried her head in the water, washing away her exhaustion and


    clearing her mind.


    Regardless, she had to let Preston know about Kate’s visit and let him make the decision himself.


    Whether Preston ultimately chose his mother or her, it was Preston’s business.


    If he still insisted on mating her after knowing about this, then she would go all out and seek his


    mother’s approval. After all, asking for help wasn’t a big deal. But if Preston chose his mother, then


    they would have no future…


    It was simple, no need to overthink.


    Aftering to this realization, Harper got up from the bathtub, dried her hair, and dived into the bed.


    After a night of turmoil two nights ago and another night of turmoilst night, she was exhausted and


    quickly fell into a deep sleep.


    The next day, when Harper woke up, it was already evening, showing just how tired she was. She got


    up and freshened up, then picked up her phone and removed Preston from the cklist. She called


    him, but he didn’t answer.


    ncing at the time, Harper thought Preston should be at home at this hour, so she got in the car and


    headed straight to Preston’s vi.


    When she arrived, the butler said Preston had been busytely and was staying in an apartment close


    to thepany, not at the vi. He told Harper to go to the apartment area to find him.


    Harper could only turn the car around and drive towards the city center.
