Chapter 1644
When he was extremely uneasy, Harper sent him a message. Preston quickly opened it and froze when he saw the words. After realizing what had happened, he quickly called Harper, but she didn't answer and hung up. When he called again, it showed that he had been blocked.
Preston ended the call and returned to the chat interface, quickly typing a reply:
[What's wrong? Why won't you let me propose?]
As soon as he sent the message, a red exclamation mark appeared in the conversation box, indicating that Harper had blocked him again.
Preston frowned and looked at the message Harper had sent:
[Stop with the proposal stuff. I won't mate you. That night was just a one-night stand, don't take it to heart.]
So... Harper didn't respond to him at the time because she was considering whether or not to accept his proposal. Now she has made up her mind and given him a clear answer?
He had deliberately made it public, hoping she wouldn't be able to refuse. Who could have known that Harper would still be so heartless?
Preston was angry and threw his phone away.
Harper took one step, and he took ten steps. He always thought he could change her stubborn heart, but he didn't expect it to be harder than a stone.
He sat down on the couch in frustration, staring blankly for a while, then grabbed his phone again and rushed to Harper's place.
However, Harper wasn't at home. Mandy said she hadn't come back last night. Preston thought Harper had gone to work the night shift at the nightclub, so he quickly drove there.
At the nightclub, the manager said the boss hadn't come and they couldn't find Harper. Worried, Preston called Taya.
Taya, who was busy with design drawings, put down her pen and measuring tape when she saw Preston's call and unlocked her phone.
"Taya, do you know where Harper went?"
Before Taya could ask, she heard Preston's anxious voice on the other end.
"Isn't she at home?"
"That's impossible."
Taya furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
"She told me that if you proposed to her, she might accept. How could she suddenly reject you?"
It had only been a day, and she had already rejected him. There must be a reason behind this.
Preston didn't need much thinking to figure out who was behind all of this.
"It must be my parents who talked to her privately. Taya, I'm going to the old house. Can you call Harper and tell her not to be afraid, that I'll handle everything?"
After Preston finished speaking, he hung up the phone and quickly drove to the old house.
