My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 514

After finding a quiet spot in the corner, Bella immediately asked Harper to tell her everything. However, Harper ignored Bella and kept her eyes fixed on Sean.

"Oh, come on, Harper Reed, can you stop staring at him? He’s not going to disappear, you know!?" Bella shook her head. She found it amusing how different Harper was when she was in love.

Harper narrowed her eyes slightly, still fixed on a specific direction and ignoring Bella.

"Alright, speak now, dear. We don’t have much time; we only wait for Tristan’s guests. And I believe you’ll be awkward when you see them," Bella urged. Her words finally made Harper turn her head nervously as she grasped Bella’s hands.

But Bella immediately pulled her hand from Harper’s grasp. "Ouch!" she softly shouted in pain when Harper held her injured hand.

"What is it, Bella?" Harper was stunned when she saw Bella pull her hand. "Oh my God, your injured hand still hasn’t healed? I’m sorry, dear. Did I hurt you?"

"It’s healed, but not completely..." Bella said, looking at her palm; the scars were still visible.

"Sorry, girl..." Harper felt terrible seeing that her delicate hands now had visible scars.

"Alright, stop worrying about my hand. Why do you look like a teenager with a crush?"

Harper took a deep, long sigh. She quickly glanced in Sean’s direction again before looking at Bella, "I’m not looking at Sean, but Jack. Why does he look so hateful towards Sean? His gaze was like he wanted to swallow my man."

Bella struggled to contain her laughter as she saw how upset Harper was. "Gosh, Harper... Did you really forget about it?"

"Forget about what?"

"Seriously, you forgot?" When Bella noticed Harper’s deepening frown, she continued. "You promised Jack you would marry him if you were still single at thirty-five? Forty?"

"WHAT THE HELL!" Harper couldn’t help but curse. She rolled her eyes and shot a quick, sinister glance at Jack before turning back to Bella.

"So, you remember?" Bella smiled.

"Jeez, Jack Foster, how could he remember that promise? We made it when we were drunk. Besides, he’s been married before. Even though he is now divorced, he is no longer a bachelor, right?"

"Yeah, but he still remembers those vows because you guys sealed it with a kiss—" Bella’s voice suddenly disappeared when Harper quickly covered her mouth with her hand. She widened her eyes and protested to Harper.

"Please, never spill those embarrassing memories, alright?" Harper said with pleading eyes while slowly pulling her hand away.

"Ok, ok, I promise," Bella said, no longer teasing her.

"Thank you, girl."

Bella waved her hand before saying, "Don’t mind, Jack. He’s only upset because we all now reside in this country. At the same time, he’s alone in New York, with no friends and no wife. He protested earlier to me because she would be lonely."

"Yeah, I feel sorry for him. But we can’t do anything to help him..." Harper took a deep breath. She still couldn’t believe that Jack’s wife would have the heart to cheat on him.

"Hmm, he will heal over time. Give him some time," Bella said, glancing at Jack. She could see from his expression that he really despised Sean.

Harper didn’t say more. She could only take a deep sigh.

"Alright, let’s forget about Jack. Tell me about you and Sean. How did he ask you out and tell me about when you met his mother?" Bella was very curious to hear about it. This was a big moment for her best friend, and she wanted to hear all about it.

"Bella, I never understand why you never fell in love with such a gentle and sweet man," Harper narrowed her eyes at Bella. If she could, she wanted to read how her mind worked. How could she avoid Sean’s heart after so many years?

"Oh dear, why do you ask again?" Bella smiled while looking her in the eyes. "Harper, I’ve often told you I cannot force love. If forced to love him, I will only hurt him and, simultaneously, myself."

"I know. I just can’t believe you never fell for him."

"I also don’t know why. But maybe when I first met him, he became a brother figure in my heart and mind. Or maybe..." Bella smiled with her own thoughts now.

"Maybe what?" Harper asked curiously, looking at a teasing smile that appeared on Bella’s lips.

"Maybe God already decided Sean is not for me but for you," Bella replied.

Harper’s smile grew wider as she said, "Well, despite that... I feel happy and grateful you never fell for him, or I will end up with Jack."

Bella was speechless. She could only smile at her. "Now tell me, how did he express his feelings?"

Harper blushed as she recounted everything to Bella.
