Severed Ties

Book:The Billionaire Alpha Contract Lover Published:2024-12-11

Stella was the type of she-wolf who was strong and independent, although she had regrets in her heart, she could always find a solution. She was brave in love and hate. Even though she was hurt badly by Eric, when someone expressed their love to her, she was willing to give it a try. Harper, unlike Stella, appeared to be a strong woman even after years of trials and tribulations, but that was only on the surface. In fact, in her heart, she dared not love again, she was very afraid of being cheated and hurt, as at this moment…. When she browsed through Moments, she saw the photos and captions posted by Preston, and suddenly felt that she should delete his contacts. They had originally blocked each other, but then added each other back. They had been on and off, neither really together nor completely broken up. It made her seem immature to some extent. Harper took one last look at the photo, the background was in Africa, the girl was leaning in the arms of Preston, looking fair and dashing. She was like a jasmine flower, pure and elegant, exuding a noble and dignified temperament from head to toe, displaying grace, wisdom, and generosity. Preston put his arm around her shoulders and looked sideways at the girl in his arms, his eyes filled with endless love and deep fondness… She had rarely seen such an expression on Preston’s face, and it was not surprising after she read the captions carefully… He said, “Being exiled to Africa and meeting my first love who was teaching here was also a kind of fate.” It turned out she was his first love. No wonder this girl, unlike other women, had a scholarly demeanor beneath her beautiful appearance. Harper recalled the scene where Preston hugged her at Gmissta, calling her name like a spoiled pup, and left angrily after she rejected him. She felt that the connection between them had been completely severed in that snowstorm, and deleting him was the best thing to do. She clicked on Preston’s profile picture, and her fingers paused before she clicked the delete button…. A few seconds later, without any hesitation, she clicked on “Delete”. From then on, they no longer kept in touch, and it was for the best. Harper put the phone down calmly, sat down on the carpet and asked Stella, “Didn’t you say you’re going to introduce me to a doctor last time? When is the meeting?” Stella was surprised and looked at Harper, “Didn’t you ever plan to go on a blind date again after you did it once?” Last time, Mr. Jenkin, the manager of Harper’s nightclub, said he wanted to introduce a blind date to Harper, but it turned out that the man was Mr. Jenkin himself. Harper sat in the cafe, watching Mr. Jenkin warily confess his love for her, and she felt a little amused and annoyed. She did not expect that Mr. Jenkin had secretly loved her for several years, but he was also unmated, so they were actually a good match. However, she did not feel much chemistry with him, even to the point of having no feelings at all, and only thought of him as an honest and reliable business partner. She could work with Mr. Jenkin for a long time, but Harper still felt a little scared inside if she had to share a bed with him. She was thinking of a tactful and gentle way to reject Mr. Jenkin, but before she could say it out loud, she was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Preston, and he messed up the situation. Preston, after all, inherited the strong and dominant genes of the Knight pack. Without saying a word, he came up to hug her and kiss her fiercely. After he had declared his sovereignty like that, Mr. Jenkin did not feel comfortable staying any longer. He picked up his old-fashioned briefcase and left dejectedly… For Mr. Jenkin, Preston Knight, a top-tier rich born with a prominent surname, was someone he could not afford to offend. Being threatened by Preston for a few sentences, Mr. Jenkin did not dare to continue working in the nightclub. Coupled with the fact that Harper was clearly not interested in him, and he had uttered his crush, so he was even more embarra*sed to stay in the nightclub. He was determined to withdraw his shares and leave, and after several persuasions from Harper, she had to agree when she saw how determined he was. Because the blind date had scared away her capable business partner, Harper was a little angry and told Stella that she would never go on a blind date again. But now, she wanted to learn from Stella and see if she could meet someone who loved her wholeheartedly. After all, in her life, she had never received love from others and wanted to experience the feeling of being loved. However, she still adhered to her own beliefs, and did not fall in love or give her heart away easily unless the man was worthy. As Harper couldn’t think of a reply, Stella seemed to guess something and did not ask further. She just replied, “My aunt is urging my cousin to go on a blind date, and I just introduced him to a Stella. We scheduled the date for after Taya’s mating ceremony, why don’t you come along with us?” For Alpha’ mating ceremony, Andre must have been too busy to have time for a blind date. After the mating ceremony, Alpha Knight must take Taya on his honeymoon. It would be the best opportunity to arrange a blind date for Andre during that time when he didn’t have to play the third-wheel role. Harper helped Grace finish building the Lego blocks and looked at Stella, “Is this going to be too awkward?” How could four people go on a blind date together? If the male doctor she was introduced to at the time had fallen in love with the female doctor who was paired with Andre, then she and Andre would surely have died an embarra*sing death. Stella thought about it for a while and felt that it was not quite appropriate, so she said, “Then I’ll ask the hospital administration to hold a ball. When the time comes, I’ll call all the best-looking and most decent doctors in our hospital. Then you take whoever you like, is that okay?” Uh, why does this sound like a bride show for an emperor? Harper resisted a little in her mind, but on her face, she bit the bullet and answered “Yes”. Mostly because Stella said she would only recommend good-looking doctors, and because Harper was extremely attached to good looks, so she was somehow looking forward to it.
