After clearing her perfectly healthy throat, Harper calmly said, "If you’re concerned about entering a woman’s bedroom, you can leave the door open." She smiled at him, knowing he was a gentleman.
Finally, Sean stepped inside, leaving the door open behind him.
Harper smiled faintly while sitting and started asking him questions when he saw him sitting opposite.
"Sean, I’m sorry to ask. Have you told your mother about me?" she asked while hiding her joyful expression.
Harper clenched her fist, anticipating what he wanted to say.
Sean took a deep breath before he told her about his mother, who started bombarding him with questions about arranged marriage — a topic he always avoids, but this time, he couldn’t.
He had no choice but to admit that he already had a woman he was interested in.
"That time you appeared in my mind, Harper. And I remember you telling me that if my parents wanted to arrange a marriage for me, you would want me to consider you, right?" He asked.
Harper nodded shyly, feeling her face getting warm.
Sean smiled at her as he continued, "You are the only single woman I know outside of my colleagues in the military. So, Yes. I’ve told them about you."
Harper’s heart raced a mile per second when she heard Sean’s sentence. This was the most extensive conversation she had ever heard him speak since she had known him. His words instantly made her heart swell; she felt like she was about to descend into nirvana. Finally, what she dreamed of came true.
"I’m sorry, Harper. If I got you involved with my family before asking your permission. I feel bad—"
"No, Sean. I don’t mind," Harper hurriedly corrected him. "I’m glad you think about me and have the courage to tell them about me."
Sean wanted to say something, but seeing how happy she was, he stopped and only smiled back at her.
"I’m only nervous about meeting your mother. That’s why we need to talk about this, Sean," her eyes beamed as she saw him. "I don’t want your mother to be disappointed the first time she meets me."
Sean shook his head, a small smile still on his lips as he said, "Harper, my mother no longer cares who I bring to meet her. She only cares that the one I bring is a woman, not a man."
Harper stifled a laugh upon hearing his words.
"So they thought you liked a man?" she asked.
"Yes. My parents and Grandpa always tease me like that. That’s why, when I said I have a woman interested in, my mother was so happy and asked me to introduce you immediately..."
"Thank you, Sean, for remembering me."
