I was sure that Harper was pleased with the whispers with the way her grip on Mason's arm tightened.
Mrs Reed who was initially welcoming the guests with a smile,turned stern upon seeing Harper Reese clutching onto her son.She couldn't hide her disdain for her
A bright smile made its way to her face as she greeted her timidly,"Good evening,Mrs Reed.Thank you so much for inviting me."
Mason's mother responded coldly,"This is a Reed's family gathering.I do not understand why Miss Harper is here."
Harper's eyes redden,brimming with tears,and as always,Mason stepped in to save his damsel in distress."Mum,we shouldn't cause a scene here."
Mrs Reed gave her a once-over look,"This is a family affair,Mason.Strangers aren't allowed here."
Harper turned to Mason,seeking his help with a glance.I was excited that Mrs Reed was making her suffer.If I couldn't do it anymore,someone had to do it in my stead,right?
"Isn't Mason engaged to the Vaughn's daughter?"a cousin asked,curiosity clear in her tone.
"Wasn't it Peyton?Weren't they planning to register their marriage?"another cousin thought out loud.
Mason overheard everything,his expression darkening.His eyes burning with anger with unsaid words.
