No Wife, No Life Chapter 132
The two of them returned to the apartment, and Harper told him to take a shower.
After changing into fresh clothes, Harper lounged on the couch and said, "Sit still; let me take a few photos."
She didn't explain, but Caden got it right away.
Since their relationship was now public, they needed to release some photos to let everyone know about their relationship and that she had chosen FusionX Company.
He cooperatively sat on the balcony, casually picking up a book and striking a relaxed pose.
Harper aimed her phone at him.
He was wearing a white shirt and light blue jeans, with a few buttons undone, showing off his elegant collarbone.
His hair was damp and slightly curly, and beneath his thick eyelashes were a pair of narrow, soulful eyes.
Indeed, such a man was truly a rare gem.
Harper raised an eyebrow as she looked at him through the lens.
She walked over and buttoned his shirt neatly. "It's fine to leave your buttons undone in private, but if these go online..."
She chuckled softly, "Do you really want others to see?"
Caden raised an eyebrow at her, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Are you jealous?"
Harper didn't shy away, answering frankly, "Yes, I don't want others to see."
Caden's smile grew even more satisfied.
He really liked this feeling.
Harper went back and took a few more photos. Naturally, Caden looked great in them.
But Caden wasn't satisfied; the photos were all of him alone.
Taking the opportunity, he grabbed Harper's wrist and pulled her into his arms, bringing his chin close. "Let's take a few selfies."
Harper didn't resist, letting his arm wrap around her waist.
Just as they took one photo, they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, followed by Molly's voice.
"Harper, I saw the news online. Did you really leave the Lavien Group? I was shocked when I saw it."
Molly had a key to Harper's apartment. Usually, it was only Harper living here alone, so there was no need for any reservations between them.
But as soon as Molly stepped through the door, she saw the scene before her.
For a moment, she was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Her smile froze, tinged with awkwardness.
Caden, however, smiled and said, "Since Ms. Reyes is here, could you help us take a few photos?"
This was their first meeting. But Caden, who was pursuing Harper, had naturally already investigated the people around her.
He was aware that Molly was Harper's intimate friend and colleague; however, he hadn't explored her background in greater depth.
"Our couple photos."
His tone was filled with ambiguity, clearly intending to post them on social media to show off their relationship and declare his claim.
Molly didn't immediately agree, instead looking at Harper, as if seeking her opinion.
Harper nodded at her.
Only then did Molly pick up the phone and aim the camera at them.
The two of them indeed looked very well-matched in the photos.
Molly could clearly sense the affection and tenderness in their eyes.
After taking the photos, Molly didn't seem in a hurry to leave. Taking this opportunity, she intended to properly interrogate Caden.
As Harper's best friend, she couldn't just stand by.
"Mr. Elikin, are your feelings genuine?"
Molly got straight to the point, her tone carrying a hint of interrogation.Caden pressed his lips together, seemingly contemplating. "I can't guarantee."
For a moment, Molly was stunned.
What was he trying to say?
"I think feelings are unreliable. I can't guarantee that, but I can promise not to hurt her and to protect her interests. I believe this kind of protection is more sincere than feelings."
She almost forgot, he was a businessman. For businessmen, interests always came first.
At this moment, his attitude seemed very serious.
Molly paused, then continued, "What about your feelings for your past lovers?"
Caden's romantic exploits were well-known in Majestic City.
Caden smiled, "Ms. Reyes, you're Harper's friend. How can you be so naive? In those situations, it's all just for show. Do you really think it was genuine?"
Molly knew this, but she couldn't help but ask.
She had seen Harper hurt by Alex and was worried Harper would be hurt again.
Finally, Molly thought for a moment and hesitated, "Do you really understand Harper's situation? Do you not care at all?"
She brought up this sensitive topic.
Harper had a failed marriage with Alex, and she was pregnant with Alex's child. Men usually cared about these things.
For a moment, Harper's expression stiffened.
Caden, who had been smiling, also turned serious and said, "If I said I didn't care, you wouldn't believe me. Of course, I care."
He paused, then added, "But I can accept all of it."
At this point, Molly had no more questions.
No matter what, this was Harper's life and her choice.
Molly was just worried but couldn't interfere.
Since Caden had answered so seriously, she had no reason to be dissatisfied.
"I believe you. I hope you treat her well. She's really wonderful. If you let her down, I won't forgive you." The usually gentle Molly's tone grew stern, a cold light flashing in her clear eyes.
"I will treat her well." Caden didn't flinch, meeting her gaze with determination and sincerity.
With that, Molly had her answer and didn't linger. After saying goodbye to the two of them, she turned and left.
As she left, Caden watched her back, a bit dazed. Molly's silhouette seemed familiar.
"What are you looking at?"
Harper couldn't help but ask.
Caden withdrew his gaze and smiled, "You two have a great relationship. Your friend seems like a good person."
He had investigated Molly and knew that during Harper's early days of starting her business, Molly had provided the initial investment.
He found it curious.
At that time, Molly was just a student with no background. Where did she get such a large sum of money?
Anyone who could be friends with Harper was naturally not simple. He could see that Molly was very shrewd.
In truth, Molly gave him an uneasy feeling; she seemed like the type who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Molly had a pure, gentle face, different from Harper's striking beauty, but she was undoubtedly a great beauty.
"I want to understand everything about you, including your best friend." Caden's tone carried a hint of allure.
