Chapter 13 Harper vomited violently , her eyes brimming with tears , her limbs weak . After rinsing her mouth and washing her hands , she walked out and was startled to see Mason standing at the door . She immediately stood up straight , bent her back , lowered her neck slightly , and stammered , " Mr. Brooks . " Having endured such humiliation and aggrievce , she could act as if nothing had happened and still address him as Mr. Brooks . No matter what , Mason couldn't believe this was Harper . " You knew the consequences of coming here , yet you still came ? " " Ethan was just joking with me . " Harper was good at swallowing her suffering . This torment was nothing . " Ethan ? " She still called Ethan sweetly , but addressed him as Mr. Brooks , clearly distancing herself . For no reason , Mason found it laughable and felt a surge of anger . " He's not your brother anymore . If you want to play relatives , you've got the wrong person . " When Harper and Olivia were kidnapped together , Ethan , her own brother , chose to abandon his sister and save someone else . At that moment , Mason saw his guilt and remorse . He had red eyes and said he was sorry to Harper . But when the police arrived and the kidnappers were controlled , the interrogation revealed that the kidnapping was orchestrated by Harper , and Ethan's guilt disappeared . He himself said he didn't have a sister like her and that it would have been better if she had died . Chapter 13 . Harper found it ironic and forced a smile . " It should be Mr. Walker . " " Ethan said you met Noah . " This shouldn't be something Mason needed to ask , but since he did , there must be a reason . Harper nodded . " If possible , I'd rather get married early . " She had already made it clear that she wouldn't cling to him anymore , yet he still seemed uneasy and was eager for her to get married . It made sense . After all , he had finally gotten rid of her , and Mason was still feeling relieved . " But Mr. Bennett doesn't like me . " It was the truth . Harper didn't want to lie anymore . Suddenly remembering something , she quickly explained , " But don't worry , I won't bother you because of this . " The phone was ringing . Harper ignored Mason's cold , stiff expression . She turned her body slightly and covered the phone's mouthpiece with her cold , red hand . She responded in a low voice , " Okay , I'll be right there . " Mason's words came out faster than his thoughts , " Ethan ? " " No. " Harper's voice was muffled , " It's Noah . " They had agreed to spend a month together , during which Harper had to be on call for Noah , no matter how outrageous his demands were . She couldn't refuse . The surroundings seemed to cool down , and Harper became more sluggish , not noticing anything unusual . She continued on her own , " I'll Chapter 13 go ahead first . See you later . " Mason leaned to one side and suddenly smiled , " Noah won't marry you . Don't waste your time . " In Moridise , any man from a good family wouldn't look twice at Harper now . This was a fact that Mason didn't need to emphasize . Having gone through so much , Harper knew she was despised by everyone . Her ears were red , with brown scars left from frostbite . Her hair floated at her temples . From this angle , Mason saw her eyes again . She smiled , her eyes bright and clear , with a striking determination . " Without trying , how can you know if the outcome will be good or not ? " Mason was reminded of the past by her smile and gaze . He had once warned her sternly , " I don't like you , and I won't marry you . Don't waste your time on me . Back then , Harper wasn't as serious and affectionate as she is today . She just joked , " If you won't marry me , then I'll be your girlfriend for a lifetime . " The memory was like a sharp blade striking her . " It seems the last outcome didn't teach you a lesson . " " It's precisely because I've been through it that it can't get worse . " She had let go of her feelings for Mason . When talking about the past , she was open and honest . She seemed to be smiling , but there was a deep sadness in her eyes . " I need to go now . "
