Chapter 306: You Push Me?
Chapter 306 You Push Me?
Harrison's words made Elena feel very comfortable.
A smile unconsciously spread across her lips.
Charlotte linked arms with her and said softly, "Elena, Mr. Frost seems really great. I think he's worth trusting."
Charlotte's words made Elena smile a bit shyly. At this moment, she felt that her actions last night had been too impulsive.
Since she loved Harrison and was willing to marry him and raise their child together, she shouldn't have treated Harrison with such a suspicious attitude.
What does it mean to be husband and wife? Shouldn't spouses trust each other?
Elena nodded firmly.
Charlotte encouraged her, saying, "Elena, don't be scared anymore. Now that Mr. Frost is here, hurry up and open the door. Go out and explain what happened last night to Mr. Frost."
"Mr. Frost cares about you so much, he definitely won't blame you for what happened last night."
With Charlotte's encouragement, Elena reached out and was about to open the door when suddenly, Gloria, with her hair all messy, rushed out of the room.
She must have drunk quite a bit last night and looked completely haggard.
When Harrison saw her like this, he frowned with displeasure.
It wasn't like he'd never seen a woman who just woke up. Elena was hardly a picture-perfect sleeper, but when Harrison saw Elena with her messy hair after just waking up, he didn't feel disgusted at all. On the contrary, he wanted to hold Elena in his arms and cherish her.
But now, seeing Gloria like this, disgust involuntarily rose in his eyes.
Indeed, there was a fundamental difference between loving a woman and not loving one.
Gloria didn't notice Harrison's disgust. Instead, she rushed directly to Harrison's side, wrapped her arms around his waist, and tried to press herself into his embrace.
While pushing herself against him, she cried dramatically.
"Harrison, how can you treat me like this? I came back from out of town just for you. And what do you do? You just ignore me?"
"Harrison, you said before that you'd be my good friend forever. Are you going back on your word now?"
"Harrison, I like you. I've always liked you, for so many years. Don't marry that Elena, marry me instead, okay?"
Gloria's words made Harrison very angry. At this moment, facing Gloria throwing herself at him, he felt extremely disgusted. He reached out and pushed Gloria away from him.
Gloria wasn't prepared. She suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Perhaps the fall hurt a bit. Gloria, with her messy hair, lifted her face and accused him with a wronged expression.
"Harrison, you pushed me? How could you bear to push me to the ground?"
Facing Gloria like this, Harrison straightened his clothes.
He said to Gloria, "Gloria, I told you yesterday that I already have the woman I love, and we have a child. We're about to get married."
"All along, I've only seen you as my friend. From school until now, I've never had any romantic feelings for you. I won't respond to your seduction, and I won't abandon my fiancée for you."
"I'm happy that you could come to Pinewood City. I'm willing to welcome you warmly as a friend, but if you do anything excessive like you did last night again, don't blame me for ending our friendship."
"I came to see you today out of consideration for our past friendship as classmates, not because I have any feelings for you. I hope you'll behave yourself and attend my wedding with a calm mindset."
Harrison's words left Gloria looking disappointed.
She was such an excellent woman, yet Harrison was willing to reject her?
Yesterday, when he said he was getting married, she had already lowered herself and said she could even be his mistress.
Last night, she had booked a room, hoping he would come and they could make love. Not only did he not come, but he also sent Aaron instead.
It was only because she hadn't drunk that much last night, otherwise she really might have been crazy enough to sleep with Aaron.
Today, Harrison came specially and rejected her mercilessly in front of so many people. He was trampling on what little dignity she had left.
Harrison, how could he be so cruel to her?
Gloria stared coldly at Harrison's face, trying to use her gaze to express her unwillingness to Harrison.
However, Harrison ignored her. He turned his head and gave a look to the woman behind him.
The woman who came with him walked directly to Gloria and gently helped her up.
"Gloria, Mr. Frost is getting married. You should give up on your feelings for Mr. Frost. Elena is excellent and well-matched with Mr. Frost. Mr. Frost really likes her."
"Gloria, I don't want to see you being so unreasonable and interfering in someone else's marriage. Come on, I'll take you home."
It turned out that the woman who came with Harrison was none other than Gloria's sister.
She wanted to take Gloria away, but how could Gloria be willing?
She came to Pinewood City to break up Harrison's marriage. Now Harrison wasn't moved by her at all—where was her self-respect?
She struggled, not wanting to leave.
But Gloria's sister whispered a reminder in her ear, "Gloria, stop making a scene. Our family's business has been declining. Many times, we still need Frost Industries' help to maintain appearances."
"If you keep pestering him and bring shame to the Hall family, don't blame Father for punishing you."
These words instantly sobered Gloria up.
Only then did she remember that the Hall family's business had been relying on Frost Industries' support.
The main reason Gloria could hold a position in such a large family was because of her friendship with Harrison as classmates.
Now, if she kept making a scene and Harrison disregarded their past friendship and cut off cooperation with the Hall family, Gloria would truly become the Hall family's sinner.
Adults are good at weighing pros and cons.
Gloria quickly collected herself and left with her sister.
As she left, she still stared at Harrison unwillingly.
She would remember the fact that Harrison didn't want her.
After Gloria left, Harrison naturally shifted his gaze to the door across from him.
