The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1639

Kate couldn’t understand Harper, and Harper had no intention of persuading Kate. She just tried to see

things from Kate’s perspective and acknowledge her point of view.

“If I were you, facing a woman who is nothing compared to your own son, I would be just as dissatisfied

as you are. I understand you, but please also think about Preston. It was his idea to mate me, not mine

to mate him. If you want me to back off, it’s better to talk to him. If he is convinced and no longer wants

to mate me, just let me know, and I won’t bother him anymore, even avoiding him in the future…”

Harper said all this in one breath, her heart pounding. This was her first time standing firm against

someone for Preston, even though she knew she was not as good as him or deserving of him. But

because he loved her and she couldn’t let go of him, she was determined to fight for their relationship.

Kate scrutinized Harper and after a while, she suddenly smiled. “You just said you don’t love my son,

and now you’re saying you don’t have to mate him. It seems that you don’t care much about my son. If

that’s the case, why would you insist on mating him just because of his passion?”

Kate’s question was quite profound, and Harper found it difficult to express herself and lowered her

head.

Seeing her reaction, Kate continued, “Setting aside your

personal background, academic abilities, and all that, just this point alone, I think every mother would

want their future daughter–in–law to wholeheartedly love their son. If you can’t even do that, what

makes you think I can convince my son?”

Upon hearing this, Harper’s lowered eyelashes trembled slightly.

If it weren’t for the one–night stand, she probably wouldn’t have considered mating again. But after the

one–night stand and hearing Preston say he must mate her, she couldn’t help but waver in her

determination. However, the root of her wavering was not just Preston’s words of wanting to mate her.

It was her realization that deep down, she hadn’t let go of Preston yet, which made her want to take

another risk.

However, in terms of deep love, it couldn’t compare to Taya and Griffon. At least in Harper’s eyes, her

relationship with Preston was fragile. Preston was used to being fickle; she didn’t know if he would

continue to love her in the future.

Harper had no sense of security about this, so she dared only say she liked Preston, not that she loved

him. She wanted to control her feelings, so as not to completely collapse or go crazy if she was

betrayed.

She didn’t want to become a hysterical woman or an abandoned wife. She could only remain calm by

restraining her emotions.

But obviously, these words were something Kate couldn’t understand. Kate was born into a wealthy

pack, had a

comfortable life since pup period, and even had a husband who

loved her wholeheartedly. She naturally couldn’t empathize.

Harper didn’t want to speak ill of her son in front of Kate either.

Harper’s silence made Kate feel even more sorry for Preston. “I’m speaking here. I’ve always been

direct. Besides what I mentioned before, there’s another thing that really bothers me.”

Harper slowly raised her head and asked Kate in confusion, “Did I do something wrong to you?”

Kate shook her head, but there was a hint of anger in her indifferent eyes. “Before, my son got into an

accident because of you, crashing into Johnny’s car. It was the first time I saw him injured. After

managing to save him and sending him to the hospital, he was provoked by your ex–boyfriend and

needed rescue again. Do you know how angry I was when I received that rescue call in the middle of

the night? My perfectly fine son, getting injured for you once was bad enough, but you actually allowed

your ex–boyfriend to make him suffer a second time. Seeing him lying helpless in the hospital bed, it

broke my heart.”

In Kate’s eyes, Harper was a jinx who caused harm. However, at that time, she had no right to say

anything to Harper and could only let Preston do as he pleased. But now that the matter of mating was

brought up and it reached her, she had to intervene. At the very least, she wanted to make these things

clear.

“Anthony, at least, loved Edith wholeheartedly and was willing to give everything for her. But what about

you? You don’t love my son, and you don’t cherish him. How can I, as his mother, feel at ease letting

him mate you?”

Harper felt guilty about Preston being provoked to the point of needing rescue. She deeply regretted it

and lowered her head. “I’m sorry. I misjudged people and caused trouble for him, making him suffer

and get hurt…”

In this matter, Harper didn’t try to defend herself. It was only natural for a mother to be heartbroken for

her son in such a

situation.

She also agreed with Kate’s words. She hadn’t really cherished Preston before and always thought of

their relationship as a casual fling that would eventually end. She forced herself not to care about him,

but people you don’t care about are easy to neglect…

Moreover, when Preston talked to her, he was indifferent and didn’t take her seriously. Even when they

broke up, it was just a simple “okay,” quickly ending their relationship that could be considered

insignificant. Who could have known that after the breakup, he would become entangled and even

insist on mating

her…
