Harper had frostbite on his hands again. There were also a few more scars from cleaning. He didn’t even have time to change the band–aid when his blood overflowed. He still had to stand in the cold and be bullied.
She was half–squatting. She was delicate and moving, but also miserable and downtrodden.
She looked up and met Mason’s eyes. She was like a demon who had seen her and wanted to run away.
“Is this fun?” Mason had given her a choice. She was the one who did not know what was good for her. “You’re play- ing around like an idiot and making a living like a dog. Why don’t I see your James now?”
Harper wanted to pick up the key at the side, but his hand was suddenly stepped on by Mason. The soles of his rough leather shoes rubbed against his flesh, and it hurt to the bone.“You want to find someone to marry and live a good life? Why don’t you see if you’re qualified?”
Her palm was pressed against the ground and the key was about to pierce into her flesh. Harper’s tears were like bro- ken strings. She bit her lips and refused to beg for mercy. Mason stepped on her even harder, almost breaking her bones. “I’ll ask you one more time. Are you going to break off the engagement?”
Harper did not answer this question. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at Mason. He was the man she had been dreaming about and infatuated with for many years.
During those three years, she wished that he could visit her.
Every time it hurt, she would hide in a dark corner and take out the protective bracelet he had given her to take a look, as if that could reduce the pain.
Later, on a snowy night, her bracelet broke and the beads fell into the snow. Her fingertips were red from the cold and she lost consciousness, but she only found ten beads. That day, she stood in the snow on the street and cried that she had lost the thing he had given her.No matter how he thought about it, everything in the past was stupid.
“I’ve harmed Sister Olivia.” Harper’s tears fell beautifully. This scene seemed to crack her and she was about to shat- ter. The tears that fell were like pearls. “I deserve retribution. You can do whatever you want to me, but James…”
“James what?”
“Don’t hurt him.”
Mason could not exert any strength in his legs. His breathing was a little suffocating. He asked in a difficult tone that he did not realize, “Do you really like him that much? Do you like him even more than you liked me back then?”
Harper pulled her hand out. Her joints were almost worn out, but she did not cry out in pain. She had long learned not to act coquettishly and give in. “I was young at that time and did not know what liking was. I can’t take it serious- ly.“She was the one who chased after him and refused to marry anyone but him. She was also the one who could not be taken seriously.

Ridiculous.
Mason smoked two cigarettes in the car. There was no need to say anything. Sitting beside him was enough to burn. him with anger.
Seeing him like this, Michael did not dare to say anything.
The car arrived at the private residence.
After some thought, he said as if he was walking on thin ice, “Mr. Brooks, I’ve found the person you asked me to find previously. “Mason exhaled smoke. “Who’s there?”
“Three or four years ago, you said that Miss Xiang had a younger sister who had lost contact with you. I found her.” Michael gulped. “Do you want to see her? Her health is not good. She has been raised in her adoptive parents‘ house all these years.”
When he walked out of his employer’s house, Harper’s hair was wet and his body was covered in paint. It was color- ful.
Last time, Sophia had pressed her face into the paint tray. This time, he had gotten those people to throw paint on her. Harper was not angry, but it was a pity that these things should be used for painting and should not be wasted on her.
He wiped it as he walked.
A car followed behind. The window rolled down. It was Michael’s face.“Fang… Ms. Sullivan.”
He was surprised by Harper’s appearance. Didn’t he say that he was going to work part–time at someone else’s house? How did it end up like this?
However, she was very optimistic and did not take it seriously. She smiled at the car and said, “Michael.”
“How did you-”
The car stopped and Michael handed her a spare towel. “Get in and deal with it.”
