“Don’t wait.”
That was the answer.
Harper did not insist. “I understand.”
“After what happened, you’d better go to Mason and beg him.” This was the fastest way Ava could think of. “Maybe he’ll soften his heart and agree.“The wind and rain combined, and the temperature plummeted.
Harper’s body seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. “…Alright, I understand.”
Ava felt bad as he watched her run into the rain. He stood in the rain and called Ethan. “Ethan.”
After walking out of the restaurant, Ethan took a second look at Evelyn before turning around.
“What’s wrong? Tell me.”
“Do you know that James called Mason?” This was the only way Ava could think of. “You’re on good terms with Ma- son. Can you speak up for him?““James called Mason?”
The volume increased. Evelyn, who was in the dining room, looked at him and quietly walked over. Evelyn, who had been accompanying Evelyn, Mason for the past few days, only then did he know. “How’s Mason? I’ll go see him first.”
Before the call ended, Evelyn had disappeared from the dining room.
He found Mason’s private residence in the rain.
Harper waited for two hours. When he entered, he was drenched. His long hair was tied up behind his back, and it was as heavy as a piece of iron. When he reached Mason, he could not raise his head.
However, one had to have an attitude when asking for help. Mason wiped his wet hair and sat down. His pale face was very clean, except for the fresh scar that was like a crack. “Didn’t you not beg me?”
James was taken away. Mason immediately sent someone to follow her and told her that if she wanted James to come out, she had to beg him.
However, Harper refused.
“…Mr. Brooks, I understand that you hate me. You can do whatever you want to me, but…” Harper’s breath was stuck in his throat. His chest was tight and he was short of breath. He was also drenched in the rain, as if he was about to faint in the next second. “Can I beg you to let James go? He really didn’t mean it.”
“Do you care about him so much that you can beg me humbly for his sake?”

“Yes.“Harper only wanted to get James out as soon as possible. He did not even say a word of nonsense.
Mason bent his arm and leaned against the armrest. “Alright, come here.”
She was stunned and did not dare to move.

“Aren’t you willing to do anything for him?” Mason’s patience was limited. “If you don’t want to come over, get out. Don’t be an eyesore here.”
“No…”
Mason walked over quickly and threw the towel to Harper. He leaned his head back slightly and said, “Wipe it clean for me.“It was still this face and this person.
If it was in the past, Harper would have been flattered and treated this as a gift, but now, it was just torture.
The towel was wiped on his wet hair, and his fingertips brushed past his eyebrows from time to time. His eyelids trembled, and Harper became nervous. His fingertips brushed past his earlobe, causing Mason to open his eyes and grab her wrist.
“Who allowed you to touch me?”
When Evelyn came in, Mason was holding Harper. Their eyes met. The atmosphere between them was too ambigu- ous. Her heart sank and she almost cried. “Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?”
Due to the heavy rain and the traffic jam, Ethan was half an hour late.As soon as she went upstairs, she heard Evelyn crying. She was sobbing and could not catch her breath. “…Why did you send me to Mr. Walker? I don’t want to be there. I just want to stay by your side.”
Mason looked indifferent as he smoked at the side.
Harper took the medicine and gave it to Evelyn. She did not take it and threw a tantrum. “Get lost!”
The medicine was waved away and hot water spilled all over the ground.
“Sister Harper, you were the one who asked Mr. Brooks to send me away, right?” In just a few days, Evelyn had been pampered a lot. Seeing that being coquettish to Mason did not work, he targeted Harper. “To think that I thought you really wanted to take care of me, but you actually wanted to seduce Mr. Brooks!”
Hearing the sound. The word “seduction” in Evelyn’s words made Mason look up, but the woman who picked up the medicine and wiped the floor was unmoved.
Was it seduction?
‘It’s not.‘
After being back for so long, Harper had not even given him a second glance. How could it be seduction? Mason gen- tly sipped his cigarette. He would rather be seduction than be ignored and even be compared to someone like James.
