Preston felt suffocated, but did not show it when he asked Harper, “You’re going on a blind date? With whom?”
Harper didn’t answer him, and looked politely at Griffon, “Alpha Knight, I think it’s safer if Taya stays here with you, so I won’t be taking her back with me…”
Having achieved his goal, Griffon Knight nodded at her, then shifted his gaze to Taya, “I’ll leave you guys alone.”
Taking the laptop, he got up and coldly instructed the ser vants as he pa*sed them by, “Serve Madam’s friend well.”
The word “madam” gave Taya a sense of security and also impressed Harper.
As he had regarded Taya as his she-wolf even before their mating, the serva nts would not look down on her even if she stayed here.
Griffon thought about everything, and Harper couldn’t find any flaws in him.
Besides, in the past three months, Harper saw how he had vomited blood and almost died several times for Taya. this powerful man would love Taya as much as he valued his own life.
Preston wanted to ask Harper with whom she was going on a blind date, but Griffon shot him a cold glance.
Knowing that Griffon wanted him to leave, Preston could only get up, “I’ll settle the score with you later.”
Harper pretended not to hear him and sat down on the sofal as the ser vants brought them coffee and desserts.
She thanked them, then took the coffee and looked around at the lavishly decorated living room as she drank it.
Taya forked a small piece of cake and offered it to Harper as she asked quietly, “Are you truly going on a blind date?”
Harper took the cake and smiled, “You remember Mr. Jenkin, right? He says the person is not bad and had also divorced once. I think I might as well go and see him. I’ll consider him if I like him, and if I don’t, then I would have gained a new customer for my nightclub anyway.”
Taya understood what Harper meant, but…
She looked up in the direction of the study on the second floor,
“What about Preston?”
Taya could tell Preston still liked Harper, but she had no idea how serious he was.
After all, everyone in Arcadia knew that Preston was a veritable play boy and had countless women, but he had never been devoted to anyone.
There might be one or two exceptions, but these relationships. only lasted a bit longer and would never lead to mating.
Following Taya’s gaze, Harper looked in the direction of the study and said nonchalantly, “He’s too playful for me.”
As Harper always gave the same answer whenever she asked her, Taya decided to mind her own business, “Would you like me to accompany you on the blind date?”
With that possessive Griffon around, Harper dared not ask Taya to accompany her and quickly waved her hands, “No, just stay at home and recuperate, okay?”
Taya did not insist on going, and the two talked about what happened to them in the past six months. Some of their stories made them feel sad, while others made them laugh. with joy. However, when they talked about Stella, Harper solemnly put down her cup with a slight look of pity.
“Stella has had a rough few months.”
Did Eric do something to her again?”
Taya also asked Griffon about Stella’s situation this morning, but he only told her that the woman had already returned from the Wolverly Capital. She didn’t know what happened after Stella came back
Harper sighed and said in a grave voice, “In order to escape from Eric, who had locked her up, Stella jumped off the building and broke her leg. If Alpha Knight hadn’t sent Andre over to take revenge, no one would have found her lying in the bushes. She has been treated in the hospital for the past few months.”
Hearing this, Taya asked if Stella’s injury was serious, and Harper said, “She has recovered but might face some minor problems walking. She would not be limping, but she won’t be able to wear high heels ever again…”
Every time Taya saw Stella, the woman always looked radiant and confident in high heels. Now that she was unable to wear them, it would be a blow to her self-confidence. “What about Eric? What happened to that a*shole?”
Harper frowned and said, “The Sinclair pack is influential in the Wolverly Capital, so Andre could only beat the s*it out of him. Anyway, Andre had avenged you and let him taste his own medicine by breaking his ribs with a few kicks.”
When Harper finished, she lowered her gaze to hide the complex emotions in her eyes.
The fact was that if Silas hadn’t stopped Andre, Eric would have suffered more than a few broken ribs.
However, since Taya had chosen to be with Griffon, she thought it was better not to mention Silas.
Having concealed it from Taya, Harper said through clenched teeth, “Don’t get upset, okay? Like you, Stella has pulled it through and will be discharged from the hospital in a few days…”
Taya, however, was still very worried about Stella’s situation, “Eric hasn’t come to see her again, has he?”
Harper shook her head, “The Sinclair pack disapproves of their relationship and has locked Eric up, so he couldn’t come to Arcadia to hara*s Stella. Besides, Alpha Knight has sent bodyguards to protect Stella. Even if Eric is freed, he won’t be able to get close to her.”
It was only then that Taya felt relieved, “Then I’ll visit her at the hospital tomorrow…”
Harper tried to dissuade her, “I’ve told Stella that I’ll pick her up when she is discharged, so it’s best you go with me then. I’ll be worried if you go out all by yourself.”
Taya wanted to tell her that she would be fine, but thinking about what happened to her, she nodded, “Okay.”
They chatted for a while, and when it was the lunchtime, the servants respectfully invited Harper to enjoy the meal they had prepared.
Harper looked at the abundance of food spread out on the long dining table and clucked her tongue twice, “So this is the lifestyle of a rich man’s wife, huh?”
Being teased, Taya palmed her forehead, “Cut that out.”
Harper still wanted to tease her, but she saw two tall figures emerging from the stairwell.
The man in front was extraordinarily handsome, and his demeanor was dignified and austere. The man behind was also good-looking.
The only difference was that the person in front had a more commanding presence and seemed like a devoted lover, and the one at the back was obviously a playboy.
Harper saw the latter and lost interest in the meal, “Taya, I’m not joining you guys.”
Taya wanted to persuade her to stay for lunch, but Harper insisted on taking a rain check.
“Then you must remember to pick me up when Stella is ed, okay?”
Harper nodded, then took her purse and left. She did not even look at Preston when she pa*sed him by.
Gazing after the proud woman, Preston felt restless and decided not to stay for lunch as well.
