My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 324

"Someone is waiting for you—"

Instantly, Bella stopped and turned to face Leo. "He already arrived!?" she asked, checking her watch. It was only 9 a.m. Didn’t she say they would meet at ten?

"Yeah. Boss, who is he? I asked his name, but he didn’t say anything. He just showed me a text message from you," Leo asked, confused about the mysterious man who suddenly visited Bella.

"W-Where is he now?" she asked nervously, ignoring Leo’s question.

"In your office. Boss, can you please answer me? Who is he?"

"Sean Spencer!" Bella answered before walking towards her office.

Her heart felt tense about meeting him, but her mind was focused. She knows exactly what to do.

...

Standing in his place, Leo was stunned to realize that the handsome and cold man who insisted on meeting Bella earlier was Sean Spencer.

’Did that person come from the noble Spencer Family? Or not?’ Leo was puzzled.

He tried to remember whether Bella had ever told him about that person. However, suddenly, a female voice distracted him.

"Sir, why are you standing here?" Dana asked Leo while approaching him. When she didn’t hear his response, she followed his line of sight toward the CEO’s office.

Worried something might have happened to their boss, she turned her gaze to Leo, "Did something happen to Ms. Donovan?"

"Dana, have you heard about Sean Spencer?" Leo asked without turning his gaze to her. His eyes were still fixed on Bella’s office.

"Sean Spencer?" Dana repeated Leo’s question, perplexed by his sudden interest in Sean. The mention of that name could only bring one person to her mind. "Sir, are you seriously not knowing or just pretending?"

"I didn’t know about him. Please do tell—"

Dana gasped in surprise. It was hard for her to believe someone didn’t know about Sean Spencer, one of the hottest bachelors in this country.

"Sir, how could you not know about him?" Dana smiled; however, a second later, her smile faded when she remembered Leo was not from this country.

"Sorry, boss. I forgot you are not from here. So, it’s reasonable if you don’t know about Sean Spencer," Dana grinned before continuing her words. "Do you want to know about him?"

Leo turned to see Dana again. "Yes, please explain to me."

He knew about the Spencer Family, but he doubted the man inside Bella’s office was related to the noble Spencer family that ruled Astington’s politics and military.

"Sean Spencer is the youngest General in the Astington Military. I’ve heard he is now a captain in his unit, part of the special forces. I hear rumors that his team operates outside Astington, but their exact activities are unknown."

Dana seemed carried away, describing Sean Spencer as a hot, handsome, and wealthy bachelor in the country.

She continued, "Nowadays, people rarely recognize Sean Spencer’s face since he is active in the military and has never been featured in the media. And, you know what? His father is actually the current president of this country—"

Not long after, she saw Sean looking at his cell phone screen and trying to make another call.

Only this time, Bella realized something: he must be trying to call her, right?

Bella stifled a laugh while walking inside. She stopped just a few steps away from him.

"Hi, Sean. Have you been trying to call me?" Bella smiled when she saw Sean turn to look at her with a warm smile on his face. However, her smile slowly faded when she saw him step forward with his wide stride approaching her.

"Sean—"

Bella couldn’t finish her words. In a blink of an eye, she was hugged by Sean with his broad chest and muscular arms. Instantly, her heart was beating so fast and loud. She was too shocked by his tight embrace.

Just before Bella wanted to push him away, she heard him say tremblingly, "I really miss you, Bells! I miss you so much. I’m sorry... If I came home late and broke my promise to you."

Sean had promised her he would return in three months, but he only showed up after almost four months.

Bella’s hand clenched into a fist. Sean’s words felt like a sword slicing her heart. She was supposed to be the one who apologized, not him.

She held back from pushing him away and let him express his longing while she tried to string a few words she needed to tell him.

However,

She felt like all the sentences she had memorized by heart and wanted to say to him were disappearing, as if all those sentences were betraying her.
