Chapter 1655


    Harper looked up and stared at Preston, who pretended to be clueless, with a cold smile.


    “Just pretend that I don’t love you that much.”


    She didn’t love him that much…


    So she didn’t want to mate him.


    More than his mother’s opposition, this hurt Preston the most,


    but…


    “I know you don’t love me that much, but as long as I have a tiny ce in your heart, it’s enough.”


    Kate witnessed her son, Preston, begging Harper in a pitiful manner and suddenly felt sorry for him.


    She had always thought that Harper was the one clinging onto Preston, but as Griffon had said, it was


    her son who


    couldn’t let go.


    And Harper, facing her son’s plea, not only was not moved, but also looked expressionless, staring at


    Preston, who was almost kneeling.

    “You don’t have even a tiny ce in my heart.”


    Preston didn’t believe her words at all.

    “If I don’t have even a tiny ce, then why did you… that night?”

    “I was drunk!”


    Harper coldly interrupted him.


    “That night, even if it wasn’t you, it could have been any other


    man.”


    When these cold and heartless words struck, it felt like being stabbed by a sword, making Preston turn


    pale.


    “When you say such things, have you ever considered my feelings?”


    “I don’t love you at all, so why should I consider your feelings?”


    This counter–question caused Preston’s clear eyes to gradually turn sad.


    He took a step forward, grabbed Harper’s wrist, but she reacted strongly and shook him off.

    This repeated resistance suddenly infuriated Preston-


    He disregarded everything and held Harper’s shoulders, pushing her against the wall, and then pulling


    her into his


    arms.

    While suppressing the urge to vomit, Harper struggled desperately, but he held her hands with one


    hand and used his legs to trap her legs.


    After making her unable to move, Preston pinched her chin, making her look up, staring angrily into her


    evasive eyes.


    “Look into my eyes and say it again, do you really not love


    me?”


    He wanted to take it slowly, but this stubborn Harper made it impossible for him to do so!


    Forced to meet his gaze, Harper, with anger in Preston’s eyes,


    indifferently spoke.


    “I don’t love you.”


    These few words extinguished all of Preston’s anger, leaving only cold blood flowing through his body.


    He stared at Harper, trying to see any trace of a lie in her eyes, but all he saw was disgust and disdain.

    Looking at Harper like this, Preston stared nkly for a while


    and then weakly let her go.


    Harper, able to breathe again, turned and ran, as if she


    stayed for another moment, that 50% of love would make her


    stay.


    Seeing the two argue, Kate quickly walked to Preston’s side, raised her pale hand, and patted his


    shoulder.


    “When I talked to Ms. Duke earlier, I asked her if she loved you.


    Her answer was no, and she shouldn’t have lied to you about


    that.”


    Preston, whose heart was already bleeding, smiled coldly at


    these words.


    “If she doesn’t love me, then there’s no need for anyone to beg


    her!”


    Leaving these words behind, Preston turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Harper.


    As he passed the tables and chairs ced in the hallway, he raised his leg and kicked them hard.


    With this resentful action, his toenails inside his shoes flipped


    over…

    Preston, who used to find even a gentle bump painful, now felt nothing.


    Standing in the hallway, Kate couldn’t describe the feeling.


    inside her.


    This was the result she wanted, but seeing Harper truly reject Preston, she felt a bit sorry for him.


    With aplicated mood, she nced at Harper’s back and then at Preston’s back before catching up


    with her son’s footsteps.


    After returning to Ss’s ce, Harper rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.


    Not long after, the smell of fish came from the pot. Harper, who should have found it fragrant and


    delicious, suddenly felt


    nauseous.


    She thought the fish had gone bad, so she quickly lifted the lid and tasted it with a spoon. The urge to


    vomit almost made her throw up.


    Fortunately, she only dry heaved and didn’t actually vomit. She didn’t pay much attention to it, put down


    the spoon, and poured the fish into the trash can…
