My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 503

Chapter 503: Harper’s Sudden Arrival
At Fort City International Airport.

Harper stopped in her tracks to text Sean.

“Hi, Sean. I’m about to walk out of the arrival gate. Have you arrived yet? Please send me your location. I will directly go there from the airport.”

After sending the text, Harper continued walking. But she stopped again just a few meters away from the man who had recently appeared even more frequently in her dreams. Sean was standing only a few meters ahead of her.

He stood out among the crowd waiting for their family and loved ones with his athletic look and calm gaze, even though he only wore a casual black shirt with blue jeans pants. A few girls walking nearby stopped to steal glances at him. He ignored them all, staring at his cell phone like he had just read something.

‘My goodness! He is here!’ Harper silently tried to calm her heart as she saw him finally look in her direction. She didn’t want to make him wait, so she continued to walk to him.

Harper felt her heart race as she noticed a few envious looks from the women around them as she stopped right before him.

“H-Hi, S-Sean,” she greeted him, slightly excited and nervous.

She didn’t know why, but she felt all her words betrayed her. She suddenly forgot the words she had prepared to say to him on her way here.

“Hi,” Sean answered calmly and quickly, taking the suitcase from Harper and gesturing for her to follow him.

Harper silently walked beside him, trying to match his fast, long stride. She was thankful she wore sneakers; it would be troublesome to wear heels when following him.

They walked toward the parking lot for a few more minutes without anyone speaking.

A few times, Harper wanted to break the silence with the question she had in mind, but all the words she had stuck in her lips until they finally arrived at the parking lot.

Later,

Sean stopped before the brand-new black Maserati Levante. He didn’t immediately put the suitcase into the trunk but opened the passenger seat door for her.

“Please…” Sean said softly, gesturing to her to enter the car.

Without saying anything, she entered the car, holding her breath as they stood so close. His masculine scent filled her sense of smell as he put his palms up to protect her head. Slowly, her heart pounded.

After securing her seat belt, she saw Sean handling her suitcase through the rearview mirror. Her heart was still beating fast as she saw how handsome and calm he appeared.

She had never felt her heart racing like this around a man before. This was the first time her nerves had gotten the best of her.

‘Harper! Stay calm, okay… He might think you’re too desperate to date him. Stay calm! Stay calm!’ She tried hard to distract her mind while turning her gaze ahead, ignoring him.

However, his familiar scent became strong once he sat next to her. She dared not look at him, worried he might see her nervousness.

Finally, the car engine started and left the parking lot.

Harper saw Sean’s reflection in the window, looking solemn as he drove the car. She felt relieved; he hadn’t asked her anything because she was still trying to calm her heart.

But not long after, Sean’s voice suddenly pulled her from her thoughts.

“Have you booked a place to stay?”

Harper finally dared to turn to him. She saw him still looking ahead on the street.

“Not yet. Usually, Sam or Leo will book it for me. But I already told Sam I’ll be arriving in two days, so I’m sure I don’t have a place to stay tonight. But that’s okay. I can go to the hotel near our office to check in.” She smiled at him despite his still focused on the road ahead.

Harper is amused because she was rushing to fly here when Sean suddenly calls her and asks whether they can meet before Dax’s birthday party.

Without thinking, she said yes. She immediately packed her suitcase and flew. She was lucky to have a year-long visa to enter this country, so she didn’t need to ask someone to apply again.

“Do you mind staying at my family’s hotel?” Sean asked while glancing at her briefly.

Harper was too excited to reply to his offer. She turned her gaze outside the window, stifling her happy smile.

“Apologize if I sound rude, Harper,” Sean’s sorry tone surprised her. “But, because you already moved your schedule forward, I just wanted to—”

“Sean, of course I want to,” Harper hurriedly responded, worried he would feel bad.

“Okay, thanks,” A relieved smile appeared on his lips before he continued, “No worries, my family hotel is located near your company.”

“Thank you, Sean.” Harper was too happy to witness him finally smile at her.

***

Not long after, the car finally arrived at the Star Hotel.

Sean didn’t need to check in at the reception. He drove his car underground in a particular parking lot. He went straight up to the presidential room his family usually uses. The room was not rented to guests but exclusive to the Spencer family or their guests.

As they entered the elevator, an exuberant Harper suddenly changed. She still felt nervous around Sean, even though she tried to act normal by breathing as relaxed as possible.

Arriving at the top floor, Sean led her to one of the rooms and opened the door, but he didn’t seem to enter. Instead, he stayed in front of the door.

As Harper turned to ask him, he spoke: “Harper, why don’t you get some rest first? I’ll come back to pick you up later this afternoon. My mother wants to meet you—”

Harper suddenly felt her knees weaken. She almost fell if not for her hands steadying herself against the wall.

‘Wait, what? Meet his mother right after I arrive? Did I hear that right?’

Harper’s mind felt blurry. Her heart skipped a beat. She thought Sean wanted to talk to her alone, but it turned out that they would meet his mother.

‘Does that mean his parents already know about me?’

Instantly, her entire body felt goosebumps and became tense.

“Sean, you want me to meet your mother? Are you sure?” Harper asked to make sure.
