No Wife, No Life Chapter 326

As Mason stepped into Harper's office, he immediately spotted her.

Harper was as stunning and composed as ever.

Mason's heart began to race uncontrollably.

He cursed himself silently.

His father had told him to stay calm before he came, but he still couldn't control his racing heartbeat.

Maybe it's just that hard to keep his cool in front of someone he liked.

"Harper..." Mason started to greet her but suddenly noticed Caden standing beside Harper.

Caden was staring at him with a sharp, warning look.

Mason couldn't help but shiver.

He hadn't expected Caden to be there.

It seemed that Caden, despite his inability to walk, was determined to stay by Harper's side to prevent any interaction between them.

Clearly, he couldn't compare to Caden.

Mason awkwardly touched his nose and walked over with a smile.

"Ms. Orsini, it's been a while. I'm here as the representative of the Cruz Group to discuss a partnership with FusionX Company."

As he spoke, Mason extended his hand toward Harper.

Harper nodded and was about to shake his hand when Caden stepped in and grabbed Mason's hand first.

Caden squinted, sizing Mason up with a mocking look.

"Mr. Cruz, you sure dressed like a peacock today. It seems you're not going to a business meeting, but a date."

Harper sighed and rubbed her forehead.

She had hoped this would go smoothly, but Caden's jealousy was beyond her expectation.

However, the fact that Caden had tried to push her toward Mason when he thought he couldn't walk showed that he considered Mason to be a decent person.

That's probably why he felt so threatened.

Mason could feel Caden's grip tightening.

His face turned red, and he quickly pulled his hand back, laughing awkwardly.

"Mr. Elikin, you misunderstand. I'm now the CEO of the Cruz Group, and I'm here to discuss a partnership with FusionX Company."

Caden raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "You've inherited the Cruz Group?"

Mason scratched the back of his head and glanced at Harper before nodding affirmatively.

"After talking with Ms. Orsini, I realized that I need to have the capability to do what I want. Otherwise, it's just empty talk."

'Do what he wants?' Caden caught that phrase and his eyes flashed with another warning. "Mr. Cruz, I hope you truly understand what you can and cannot do."

Mason was frightened by the look and shivered again.

Caden looked like he wanted to eat him alive.

At that moment, Harper stepped in front of Caden and smiled at Mason. "Since you're here to discuss a partnership, please have a seat."

Harper's stunning features suddenly magnified in front of him, causing Mason to blush and nod dumbly. He walked to the sofa with awkward, mismatched steps.

Harper didn't notice and turned to Caden, poking his nose in warning and whispering, "He's here to discuss business. Don't scare away my potential partner."

Caden blinked, looking a bit innocent.

He took Harper's hand. "Ms. Orsini, would you really kick me out?"

What a rascal.

Harper was amused by Caden's words, and Mason, who had already sat down, saw this scene, a pang of bitterness filled his heart.

Harper and Caden's relationship was indeed strong.

If he wanted to compete, no matter how well he did, he probably couldn't beat Caden.

After all, during Harper's lowest moments, Caden was the only one by her side.

When Harper turned back, Mason had already suppressed his emotions.

The three of them sat down, and Mason pulled out an investment proposal from his briefcase and placed it in front of Harper.

"Harper, take a look at our investment proposal. If you have any questions, we can discuss them further."

Harper nodded and skimmed through a few pages.

The Cruz Group's offer was indeed generous.

They were not only willing to invest but also to provide parts for the robotics project. Additionally, they were willing to give FusionX Company a 30% profit share.

Overall, the Cruz Group's sincerity was evident.

Caden also looked at the proposal and had no objections.

Finally, Harper made the decision, and she and Mason signed the proposal together.

Mason hadn't expected the signing process to be so quick.

He had traveled all the way from Majestic City, and it took such a short time to sign the papers. If he went back now, his father would laugh at him!

Mason's eyes darted around, and he finally managed to say, "I wonder if you and Caden would like to join me for dinner?"

Harper hesitated and instinctively looked at Caden.

Caden didn't speak, his gaze locked on Mason, deep in thought.

Finally, Harper smiled. "Sorry, Mason, but I have plans to have dinner with Caden. I can't accept your invitation, but thank you for the offer."

After being rejected, Mason awkwardly scratched his cheek. "In that case, I'll be on my way."

With that, he left the office, looking dejected.

Watching his defeated figure, Caden spoke with a hint of schadenfreude, "His invitation was decisively rejected. He probably won't sleep well tonight."

Harper couldn't help but laugh and glanced at Caden. "You're happy just because I didn't go to dinner with him?"

Caden reached out and pulled Harper into his arms, his hand restlessly caressing her waist, murmuring, "No matter who it is, if they even look at you, I want to gouge their eyes out. Harper, you're mine. I won't share you, not even for a meal."

He was so possessive.

Harper complained inwardly, but her smile deepened.

As Caden's hand grew more restless, Harper's breathing became uneven.

She cupped Caden's face with both hands. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't leave you."

He believed her.

Harper had always kept her word.

Caden nodded firmly, and the next moment, they kissed passionately.

Caden's kiss was wild, as if he wanted to claim all of Harper's breath.

Harper almost felt like she couldn't breathe, but just as she was about to suffocate, Caden released her, his eyes smiling at her. "Harper, you're so sweet."

Harper's face turned red, and she playfully punched Caden's chest.

But before she could catch her breath, Caden kissed her again.
