The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1398

Chapter 1398

Harper’s words dispelled Natalie’s suspicion that she relied on trading sex. “I understand now. Your

experience is a bit similar to mine, except I had better grades and got into a prestigious university,

which helped me establish myself. Being a woman is not easy, I can understand you.”

Natalie didn’t show overt rejection, but her words carried a sense of superiority that made Harper

uncomfortable. Harper looked up at Jayden, who seemed oblivious to his mother’s implications and

didn’t speak up for her. Instead, he focused

on serving her various foods.

Harper used her fork and knife to move the food on her plate but didn’t eat. Jayden noticed and asked

with concern, “What’s

wrong? Is it not to your liking?”

Harper shook her head. Natalie glanced at the two of them

and quickly called a waiter. After ordering from the menu,

she handed it to Harper. “Miss Duke, if you don’t like the food, don’t force yourself. Order something

more to your taste. My pack has some money, we can afford it, so don’t hesitate.”

Upon hearing this, Harper looked at the wealthy woman, then. at the middle-aged man silently sipping

his red wine, before finally turning her gaze to Jayden. Seeing his approval, she

smiled and said, “Then let’s order a few more dishes.””

Natalie thought the two moderately priced dishes were too cheap, so she also ordered a few signature

dishes and a

bottle of Lafite. As the waiter left with a smile, Natalie adjusted her silk beige dress.

Harper recognized that every stitch of the dress was handcrafted, but she didn’t pay much attention to

Natalie’s constant displays of wealth in front of her.

Noticing that Harper didn’t try to flatter or please her, Natalie

was also tactful and withdrew her hand from touching the clothes. “Miss Duke, what I’m about to say

might offend you, but you know my son. He hasn’t had much dating experience

or been mated, so I am quite curious about your past. Can you tell us why you unmated your ex-

husband?”

Harper turned to Jayden and asked, “Did you not tell your parents about this?”

Before Jayden could respond, Natalie interrupted, “He did tell me. After you two confirmed your

relationship, Jayden mentioned it to us, but he didn’t go into the details. I thought | would wait until we

met in person to have a proper chat.”

Since Natalie put it this way, Harper no longer had a reason to question Jayden. After hesitating for a

couple of seconds, she uncovered her own scars without any concealment. “I

unmated my ex-husband because he cheated on me with

his sister. When I found out, their pup was already over nine

months old.”
