My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 470

Chapter 470: I Will Give Myself A Chance To Move On!
“My friend?” Bella repeated his words, trying to remember who her friend was. As her friend list was only very short, after a quick moment, only Harper came to mind.

‘HARPER???’ She screamed in her heart. ‘SERIOUSLY? NO WAY. IMPOSSIBLE. Wait, do I have another female friend besides Harper? Aunt Noora?’

Bella stifled a laugh when she imagined Sean having a crush on Aunt Noora.

‘Ridiculous, right? Just impossible.’ She shook her head and considered Harper again as the likely candidate.

She turned her gaze to Sean and asked, “Sean, do you like Harper?” Hearing her own question gave her goosebumps, and the thought of Sean and Harper as a couple made her shiver.

Sean shook his head slowly, leaving Bella a little disappointed, realizing that it wasn’t Harper that Sean was interested in.

“If not Harper, then who? I don’t have any other female friends—” Bella’s sentence stopped when she remembered their old college friends. “She is our college friend? I didn’t contact them anymore after I moved to the US,” she said confusedly, racking his brain.

“She is Harper.”

“Yes! I knew it. It must be her.”

“But what am I trying to say to you? I don’t…I mean, I don’t like her yet, but I’ll give her a chance—” Sean tried to explain, but somehow, he felt it was hard to explain.

“Wait. Wait, Sean. I’m confused here.” Her beautiful eyebrow arched slightly as she looked at him. “You mean you want to try to pursue her?”

“Try to give her a chance.” Sean corrected her.

“What does that mean?” Bella was even more confused.

Sean leaned back in his chair, gazing at the stars twinkling in the dark sky. He felt uneasy about telling Bella about the progress in his relationship with Harper.

After a few moments, he finally spoke without averting his gaze from the sky, “Harper confessed her feelings to me before she returned to New York.”

“Wow! That bitch, how dare she—” Bella hurriedly closed her mouth when she saw Sean suddenly sitting straight, looking at him with a frown. “Ugh, sorry, Sean. Hahaha…I was really shocked to hear that.”

Bella grinned at him and got a shook head response from him.

“So, are you going to give her a chance?” Bella asked again when she saw him remaining silent.

“Sure, I’ll give it a shot,” Sean chuckled as he remembered his mother’s threat. Glancing at Bella, he explained, “My mother threatened to match me with her friend’s daughter if I didn’t bring home the woman I like within a year.”

Bella expressed her sympathy, “I remember her mentioning that earlier. She wants to have a grandchild.”

Sean sighed, “It’s because she knows about your son, and she is pushing me to get married soon.”

Bella comforted him, “I’m sorry you’re in this situation because of me, bro.”

“Yeah! You put me in trouble,” Sean shook his head and smiled before continuing his words, “Because I know Harper has feelings for me, I will try to give her and myself a chance. Can I move on from my past failed love? ” he sarcastically said while looking at Bella.

Bella chuckled, “I could only pray for your success, Sean. And I would be sincerely happy if you could date her. You know, I already consider Harper my sister, right?”

“Hmm, I know.”

“I also already consider her parents as my second parents.”

“Thanks, Bella. Thanks…” Sean couldn’t believe he had such a conversation with Bella.

He never imagined this would happen. Even though it feels weird, he is happy to share this with her. Does this mean he had already wholly let go of his feelings for her? He didn’t know the answer, but right now, he is fully aware he no longer feels hurt knowing she is with Tristan.

They were lost in their own thoughts again.

Sean was deeply thinking about how he would meet Harper again. He doesn’t like communicating with her over the phone; he needs to meet her in person to speak to her about all the matters on his mind now.

While Bella was busy making plans, she thought about how she would tease Harper about this and, of course, give her a good scolding for hiding this huge matter from her.

“Geez, Harper, you’re such a heartless best friend. How could you hide it from me?’ She couldn’t wait any longer to go home and Facetime with Harper.

“Are you guys done talking?” Suddenly, Tristan’s voice surprised them both.

Bella turned to see him. “We are done,” she accepted Tristan’s hand to help her stand up from the chair.

“Yes, we’re done here,” Sean responded and stood up.

“Good,” Tristan said, looking at Bella. “We have to go home now. It’s almost nine, dear.”

“Why so rushed, Bro!?” Sean asked, following them to walk heading to the house.

“She is a pregnant woman, Sean. My wife needs to sleep early,” he responded to Sean without looking at him.

Bella smiled and turned to see Sean. “Fighting, Sean. I hope to meet you both at Dax’s birthday party.”

Sean widened his eyes at Bella as if he wanted to tell her not to tell anyone, especially Tristan. He believed that if Tristan knew, his parents would also know.

But it was too late. Tristan stopped and looked at Bella with a frown.

“Sean already has a girlfriend?” Tristan asked. He wanted to hear this important information because if Sean had a girl, he no longer worried that Sean would steal his wife.

Bella leaned closer and whispered to Tristan, “Hubby, we will receive a wedding invitation soon. Sean likes Harp—”

“Bella, Tristan, aren’t you guys going home? Hurry up and go home…” Sean immediately interrupted, signaling Bella not to expose him. But once again, it was too late; Tristan had heard the name.

Tristan turned to Sean and asked, “Harper? Wow! Seriously, you like Harper?”

Sean was rendered speechless.

“Hahaha, man, congrats…” Tristan said as he patted Sean’s shoulder, “I’m genuinely happy for you, man.”

Sean said nothing but vented his frustration inwardly while shaking his head.

“Hubby, please don’t say this to anyone, especially his parents. This must be a secret, promise me!?”

“I promise,” Tristan said, making a V sign before heading into the house.

Tristan and Bella didn’t stay longer than needed, so they immediately excused themselves from everyone and left the Spencer residence.
