Chapter 877 Their Rtionship Changed Drastically (Part One)
When Harper returned to the Harmony Pce, the maids had already prepared hot water and fresh
clean clothes for her. Her eyshes trembled a little while she looked at the steam over the hot water
in the bathtub. Rndo had always been so considerate to her. She had been used to it for so long that
she didn''t feel like anything was wrong with the way he was treating her. But right then, Harper realized
that she had been sitting on pins and needles all this time.
"Hmm?" Patrick tried to speak but it sounded more of a squeak. It looked at Harper in confusion. It
couldn''t understand what she was thinking.
Harper put the creature down and said, "I''m fine."
Harper started dipping herself into the tub while Patrick was ying outside. Suddenly, it heard Harper
call it. Instantly, its eyes lit up. It dashed to the screen and looked up at Harper, drooling a little. ''Are you
finally willing to let me see you naked?'' it thought.
"Matthew has arrived in the capital, right?" Harper asked. She then sank into the water, leaving only her
head above it. Patrick jumped unto the bathtub and stood on its edge. Then, it couldn''t help but
regretfully sigh. The water was covered by petals, so it couldn''t see anything in the tub, no matter how
hard it tried.
"Hmmm, Hmmm," Patrick answered, without much energy.
"If he has arrived in the capital, why hasn''t hee to me?" Harper asked in confusion. With how she
knew her husband, Matthew would havee to her as soon as he arrived, so she couldn''t
understand why he hadn''t.
Upon hearing Harper''s question, Patrick jumped up and down, as if it was dancing on the edge of the
bathtub. It not only jumped here and there, but also pretended to be very powerful and vicious. As
Harper was amused by it, the expression on her face lit up.
"Do you mean to say that Matthew has alreadye to the pce to look for me, but someone drove
him away?" Harper asked. From the happiness in Patrick''s eyes, she could clearly figure out that it was
taking pleasure in Matthew''s misfortune. It was as if seeing Matthew being defeated and driven out by
others bring Patrick so much joy. Understandably, because Matthew had never been kind to Patrick, it
could not be happier when it saw Matthew suffer. After all, it was very rare that the prince was
frustrated.
"Who drove him away?" Harper asked.
Upon hearing the question, Patrick suddenly pinched its two fingers and wriggled its fat hip in a sultry
way. It waddled along the edge of the bathtub. When Harper noticed that it was evidently imitating
someone, the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch. "Miguel?" she guessed, though she was
almost sure.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Patrick desperately nodded. Then it put its two hands on its hips, pretending to be serious. While
looking straight on, it suddenly turned around with a nasty smile shown on its head. Harper almost
burst intoughter at the sight of its imitation. "And Rndo?"
In order to peep at Harper''s naked body, Patrick then squatted on the edge of the bathtub and tried to
catch the petals over the water with its w. While it was so concentrated on its goal, it didn''t even
notice the dangerous expression on Harper''s face. Imagining what it was about to see, it felt very
excited. All of a sudden, however, its head was grabbed and directly pressed into the water. It
happened so fast that Patrick couldn''t even react, so it was actually choked by the water. When it finally
raised its head, Harper was already dressed up. She was sitting on the side and wiping her wet long
hair with a towel.
Patrick jumped out of the bathtub, shook all of the water on its body, and rushed toward Harper. It
wanted to let her know that as a Holy Beast, it could not be pushed around so easily. However, before it
could reach Harper, she pped the creature with her towel. Patrick directly hit a wall but it didn''t give
up. It kicked on the wall and rushed towards Harper again. But Harper didn''t even look at it. She just
simply pped it away again.
Patrick had expected that it would hit the wall as a result of Harper''s force. To its surprise, it was caught
by someone, who then asked, "Harper, is this beast yours?"
When she heard that, Harper raised her head to look at the direction of the voice. It was not until then
that she realized Rndo hade to her quarters. He was staring at Patrick, which he had just
grabbed, and asked, "Does it have a name?"
"Patrick," Harper responded.
As soon as Rndo put Patrick down, the little beast quickly jumped into Harper''s arms and buried its
head on her arms. It was as if the creature was dering that Harper belonged to it. Rndo''s
eyebrows twitched a little when he saw that. "That''s a good name," hemented.
Harper wiped her semi-dry hair and ced it behind her. Staring at Rndo quietly, she said, "Matthew
has arrived in the capital."
Her tone indicated that she was stating a fact rather than asking a question. Rndo immediately
realized that Harper must have known something about what happened. He thought that there must be
some specialmunication method between her and Matthew. With such thoughts in mind, he
admitted, "Yes, he arrived today. And the envoy''s team will arrive in three days."
With a frown, Harper asked in a low voice, "And the coronation ceremony for the new empress is
scheduled to take ce in five days, right?"
"Hum." Rndo''s voice was clear but not rigid. He knew that the empress coronation ceremony would
not take ce as scheduled.
Harper fell silent for a moment. By then, she had a clear understanding of the incident that had
happened yesterday. When Lilian came to the Harmony Pce, she took two maids with her, but when
she left, there was only one maid with her. The other one must have been Becky who took the chance
to sneak into the pce. Harper didn''t want to think about the possibility that Lilian knew everything
that Becky had done.
After a few moments, Harper still didn''t say anything. Rndo immediately said, "I''ve already told you
that I will give you an exnation for what happened. Don''t worry. I will find out the truth as soon as
possible."
"I should leave the pce right now. Now that Matthew has arrived in the capital, it''s time for me to go.
Lilian''s health condition is already stable, and there are a lot of imperial physicians in the pce. I''m
nning to leave the pce today." Harper brought up the topic again.
Without saying a word in response, Rndo just stared at Harper silently. His face was devoid of any
expression, so it was impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking right then.
