Knowing that Jayden didn’t like Preston coming to see her, yet she let Preston carry him upstairs. If Jayden found out…
Just by putting herself in Jayden’s shoes, Harper felt like she’s being unreasonable. She quickly pushed Preston away and created some distance between them.
“It’s chilly at night, I’ll find him a blanket and then leave.”
Preston walked over to the couch and casually grabed a blanket to cover Jayden with. He did it so carelessly that the blanket even covered his entire face.
Harper glared at Preston, walked up to Jayden, removed the blanket, and opened two windows to keep the room ventilated before leaving.
Preston saw that she’s not planning on staying and slowly regains some color back in his face.
The two of them walked side by side in the dimly lit residential area, their backs gradually disappearing into the distance.
Preston, who was continuing
walking in front, slowed down every time they turned a corner, waiting for the figure behind him to catch up before
After walking out of the residential area, they were supposed to go their separate ways and drive their own cars, but when Harper got into her car, Preston knocked on her window.
“I’ve been drinking and can’t drive. Can you give me a ride?”
Harper rolled her eyes at him.
“Then how did you get here just now?”
“There were no police officers on the road just now,”
“It’s the same now if you go back.”
She ignored him, fastened her seat belt, and started the car
But his hand reached into the car window and quickly pressed the unlock button.
Before she could lift her head, the back door was opened and Preston’s tall figure quickly squeezed into the cramped car.
Harper’s car was a BMW Mini, quite small, and the bulky man sitting inside looked particularly ridiculous.
“I bought you a car, why are you still driving this junk? It’s so crowded.”
Preston hunched his back, looking disdainful.
“If you feel it’s crowded, then go drive your own car.”
His sports car wasn’t any more sp acious than her small BMW.
When she told him to go drive his own car, he obediently shut his mouth.
As they drove, Preston, who was sitting uncomfortably, couldn’t help but grumble:
“Next time, drive the car I bought you. This car is too old ”
Harper looked at him through the rearview mirror.
“The car you bought me, and the things you gave me, I packed them all up and sent them back to your house”
After Preston had a disagreement with Harper in the capital city, he went directly abroad and did not know that she had returned everything he had given her.
anger
ped a beat, and the expression that had finally relaxed gradually became overshadowed by
“Do you think my house is a garbage dump?!”
“Just throw them away, what are you thinking about? Your ex-boyfriend is petty? Or do you think I can’t afford these things?”
“I just want a clean break.”
“A clean break?”
Preston sneered.
“How do you want to break it off? Make Taya unmate Griffon, or cut ties with Taya?”
Harper felt that Preston was being unreasonable and gave him a glare.
“What does Taya have to do with this?”
“What do you mean what does she have to do with this? As long as they’re around, we can’t avoid running into each other. And if we run into each other, we can’t break it off!”
What kind of twisted logic is this?!
Harper ignored him, turned her head, and focused on driving.
Preston, sitting in the back, was so angry that he tugged at his tie.
“If you want a clean break with me, then give me back the skills you learned in bed.”
“How is that even possible?!”
This physiological reaction, how can it be returned? Is he crazy?
“I don’t care, you give it back to me!”
Preston, acting like a pup, became stubborn and didn’t care whether his request was reasonable or not.
“Don’t make me hit you!”
The first time they met, he bumped into her and forced her to pay two thousand dollars. At that time, he was very childish. She didn’t expect that after few years, he would still be so childish!
Seeing her angry face, Preston forced himself to calm down, but his eyes were still staring at her.
Harper ignored him and stepped on the gas pedal with anger.
After a while of being angry, he lifted his foot and kicked her seat.
“I never take back things I give to women. Tomorrow, go to my house and take your things back.”
What a comcidence.
While steering, Harper replied,
“I never ask for things back that I give either.”
“Do you have to be mad at me?”
She fell silent and didn’t argue back, but felt heavy-hearted.
“I returned the things you gave me because I didn’t love you for your money. After we broke up, it was natural to return them. Don’t overthink it. Also…”
After a pause, she took a deep breath and continued, “Jayden doesn’t like it when you come to see me.”
Preston got angry again and asked, “Is it him who doesn’t like it, or is it you who doesn’t like it?”
