Chapter 1653
Unaware of anyone outside, Harper lowered her head and asked the man lying on the hospital bed,
“Ss, what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you when I go back.”

Ss, who had just undergone a major surgery, looked pale and weak, but he still softly responded to
Harper, “Let Camille go buy it, you don’t have to keep running back and forth.”
Harper had been tirelessly shuttling between the hospital and their living quarters for some time now.
While wringing a towel
dry, she quickly said, “You can’t get used to the food here, so
I’ll cook for you.”
Ss wanted to persuade her, but Harper interrupted him gently, saying, “It’s just making a meal, it’s not
tiring at all,”
Was making a meal not tiring? Kate felt exhausted just
thinking about it. Did Harper never get tired because she had
been doing it since she was little? Kate’s face darkened at the thought. She needed to change this
habit of always thinking from Harper’s perspective!
Seeing Harper busy, Preston understood and didn’t bother her. He waited until she finished pouring the
water and came out before approaching her.

“Harper.”

Seeing Preston appear here surprised Harper. After standing still for a moment, she quickly lowered
her head and walked
around him.
Not wanting to be ignored, Preston hurriedly caught up with her and stopped her. “My mom has talked
to you privately. I already know.”
Harper had mentioned it to Taya, so it wasn’t surprising that Preston would find out too. But… when
Harper nced at Kate
standing in the distance, why was his mother here too?
Confused, Harper saw Preston turn to the side and point at Kate. “I brought my mom here today
specifically for her to
apologize to you.”
“Apologize?” Would Kate, a high–borndy from a wealthy pack, apologize to her?
Harper didn’t believe it, but Preston exined, “My mom ndered you first, so naturally she has to
apologize.”
After exining, he turned back and desperately gestured to
Kate.
Reluctantly, Kate walked up to Harper, “I spoke too harshly
Chapter 1653
before, Ms. Duke, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

Although Kate apologized, her tone and attitude still looked down on Harper. But it didn’t matter to
Harper, who replied,
“It’s okay.”
Harper calmly dropped these words and wanted to go back to cooking.
Seeing her turn around, Preston reached out to grab her
wrist, but as soon as his fingers touched Harper’s skin, she
recoiled as if she had touched something dirty. She quickly.
pushed his hand away and took several steps back.
Preston was stunned by her strong reaction. What had happened to Harper? Why was she resisting
him like this? Was it because Kate’s apology wasn’t sincere enough?
Thinking it was because of Kate, Preston elbowed her. “Mom, apologize more sincerely. Don’t just
brush it off.”
Kate was filled with anger, but when she saw Preston’s pleading eyes, she gritted her teeth and
swallowed her anger.
Suppressing her temper, she adjusted her posture and expression, intending to apologize. However,
Harper refused
her.
“Mrs. Knight, you don’t need to apologize to me. You’re his

mother, it’s normal for you to worry about him, I understand.”
Kate, who thought Harper would take this opportunity to fight
back, was also stunned. What did that mean?
Harper took out her wallet from her jeans pocket and handed
Kate the ck card she carried with her. “This is the ck.
card you gave me.”

Upon seeing the card, Preston finally realized that Kate had
also used money to humiliate Harper. His anger, which had just subsided, resurfaced.
“ording to what was said before, I ept that it represents giving up on Preston. If I don’t ept, I’ll
return the card to you. Now, I’m returning the card to you.”
Kate raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. She knew Harper was ying a game of cat and mouse.
She had just condescended toe and apologize, but Harper immediately chose not to give up on
Preston. Didn’t that show
how cunning she was?
Otherwise, if Harper didn’t want to give up, why did she refuse
Preston’s advances? Wasn’t she trying to make Preston me
her?
Kate, who had been swayed by Griffon’s words, discarded all her wavering thoughts after seeing
Harper’s true colors.

“You’re returning the card to me, so you don’t want to keep
your nightclub anymore?”
5/5
Upon hearing Kate daringly threaten Harper in front of her, Preston immediately wanted to get angry,
but Harper spoke
first.
“I’m returning the card to you because I don’t want your
money, and at the same time, I don’t want Preston.”
Preston’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t want him?
“Harper, what are you saying?”
Without even looking at him, Harper stared at Kate and calmly
said, “Don’t worry, I will never mate Preston in my lifetime.“”
