Kapitel 451: A Relieved Smile After The Chaos He Created

Harper took a deep breath, feeling a mix of emotions.

Saying goodbye was hard, but lying to her best friend was even worse. She felt awful for not being honest with Bella about her feelings for Sean Spencer.

Harper knew she couldn't keep this from Bella for long. Still, she decided to keep it a secret until she knew her relationship with Sean was going in the direction she planned and hoped for. 

And, if Sean rejects her, Harper realizes there is no point in letting Bella know her feelings toward Sean.

"Girl, it's time for us to part ways again," Harper said, her voice trembling with sadness. She hugged Bella tightly and continued, "I promise you, I'll be here in November to celebrate your birthday and Dax's. Take care of yourself, and don't work so hard, hmm!?"

"Hmm, I will," Bella said while smiling.
