My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Why Are You Here?
Harper chuckled when she saw Bella. Something was wrong; when she saw, she wasn’t shocked; Bella was only sitting in her seat.

“Geez, Girl… you already know about my arrival, did you? Who the heck told you?” Harper asked.

When Harper saw Bella didn’t answer her, she turned to see Stefan with her sharp gaze. It must be him who leaked it, right?

“Stefan, it must be you! You are the one who leaks it, right?”

Stefan, “…”

Knowing that Harper managed to corner Stefan and that Stefan was about to answer Harper’s question, Bella immediately interrupted.

“Harper Reed, did you feel so bored in New York that you randomly flew here without giving me advance notice? Gosh! Don’t tell…” Bella paused to cover her gasp when something crossed her mind, surprised by her own thoughts. “Let me guess. Jack also doesn’t know where you are here. Am I right?” she continues.

Instantly, Harper laughed. Her laughter echoed through the room.

“Ha ha ha, girl, you know me so well. Yes, yes… I’m bored. Everyone I know has moved here,” she hugged Bella tightly.

After they hugged, Harper let go of Bella and started to scan her from head to toe. This caused Bella to step back, knowing her best friend was slightly unpredictable and liked to play pranks on them, her close friends.

“Damn, girl! Why do you look more and more beautiful? Don’t tell me—” Harper covered her gaping mouth and widened her eyes, saying unhurriedly, “Have you started having beauty treatments again? Oh my God, you have! You’ve changed a lot since getting back with your hubby!”

Bella was utterly speechless. Since when did she visit a beauty center? She barely used makeup, only applying sunblock and lip gloss when she left the house or went outdoors.

“Well, stop flattering me, Miss Reed!” Bella said, taking Harper’s hand and leading her to the seating area. “Let’s sit and talk; you’ll grow tall if you stand too long.”

“Ha ha ha, such a cutie, Bella. You never fail to amuse me with your dry jokes,” Harper said, settling into her seat.

Bella rolled her eyes and sat beside Harper. She stared at Harper before asking in a tense tone.

“Now, tell me why you are here, Harper Reed?”

Harper didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she shook her head and looked at Stefan.

“You know what, Stefan? Your sister should have offered me a drink first, right?”

“Yeah,” Stefan grinned. But his smile faded when he saw Bella narrowing her eyes at him. He stood up. “Si-sister Harper, what do you want to drink? Let me make it for you. Is it hot coffee? Ice coffee?”

Harper smiled at Stefan, “No need, dear. I was only teasing you.” She continued when she saw him sitting again, “But can you leave us alone? I need to talk with Bella about something important.”

Stefan was surprised. “What are you two hiding from me?” he asked, narrowing his eyes at them. His expression slowly turned gloomy.

These two rarely excluded him when they chatted. But why did Harper suddenly ask him to leave? He was puzzled.

It wasn’t just Stefan who was confused; Bella was too. She looked at Harper, waiting for her response.

‘What on earth does she want to talk to me about?’ Bella thought.

Harper smiled at Stefan before casually answering, “We need to talk about sensitive matters; this is about women. I’m pretty sure you won’t be comfortable hearing it.”

“Come on, sister Harper. I’ve heard a lot of nasty gossip from you, so I don’t mind.” Stefan smiled, waving his hand dismissively.

“No, no, this time it’s different, Stefan.” Harper chuckled, then looked at Bella beside her. “Isn’t that right, Bella?”

Bella, “…”

She was utterly clueless about what Harper wanted to discuss.

“Different?” Stefan said, raising his eyebrows.

“Yes.”

“Like what?”

A half smile slowly appeared on Harper’s lips. “Like periods and how we deal with—”

“WOW! Okay, okay, ladies, you talk! I’ll go upstairs—” Stefan said, leaving the room as fast as lightning. He didn’t care when he heard Harper’s laughter behind him.

“I’m just kidding, little bro—” Harper shouted, but Stefan ran away. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she turned to Bella.

“Harper, can you stop confusing me?” Bella said seriously. She didn’t have much time now. Tristan would come to pick her up any minute. “Why did you suddenly appear here?”

“Because I didn’t trust anyone, I flew here to bring clothes for your mother.”

Bella was speechless.

‘She’s kidding, right?’ Bella wondered while looking Harper in the eyes. But a few moments later, seeing that her expression was still the same, Bella was stunned.

“So, you are serious?” Bella asked, still unable to believe it.

“Yeah. And, of course, I miss you, too. So, I have a reason to visit you now. Jack will not allow me to fly to another country, taking a long holiday…”

Bella couldn’t help but nod.

“Harper, you’re not Jack’s wife. Why do you obey him so much!?”

“Well, girl, I’m different from you. You can leave the company whenever you want.” Harper paused to take a deep sigh before continuing her words. “I have a special agreement with him, but that man is starting to annoy me. He’s so bossy.”

“Haha, he is indeed so bossy.”

Harper chuckled, “Besides, you all moved here. I feel like I want to move, too. It’s not fun there anymore without you guys.”

“Well, you could only say it to Jack.”

“I will try. But you know him, right?”

Bella shrugged. She sympathized with Harper, “Okay, have you booked a hotel room?”

“Yes, Sam helped me.”

“Tsk! I can’t believe Sam helped you hide the plan to surprise me. How dare he?” Bella vented her frustration in her mind while looking at Harper, who was laughing before her. She seemed so happy, having successfully pranked her.

But later, her anger slowly faded as they started to talk again about their plan during Harper’s short visit here. Harper would stay here for a week before returning to New York and starting her daily routine as CFO of RDF Group.

It didn’t take long before Bella stopped her sentence when her phone suddenly rang.

She thought Tristan had arrived to pick her up, but it was not. She stared at the phone screen as if she had turned into a statue, unable to pick up the phone.

“Bella, why didn’t you pick up the call? It was Sean Spencer.”
