My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 126

Bella was left speechless as she looked at Jack’s stubbornness.

"Fine! But not now. I need to ask him first. It will be awkward if you suddenly meet him, right?"

Jack frowned.

"Alright, Mr. Foster... Get out of this elevator!"

"Only if you allow me to meet Dax, too."

"Deal!"

Jack smiles widely and steps out. He slightly waves his hand at Bella as the elevator door slowly closes. He feels satisfied. Finally, he has a chance to meet Tristan Sinclair.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Bella was surprised to see Tristan behind the wheel of his SUV. This was the first time he had picked her up himself without his driver.

Bella quickened her step, fearing Tristan would open the car door for her.

After Bella settled in her seat, she was surprised to see Tristan was no longer wearing the same clothes he had in the morning but a black casual slim-fit shirt and trousers of the same color.

He appeared more casual, as if he was preparing to go on a date instead of returning from work.

Seeing him like this, Bella’s mind began to wonder if they were going on their first date. She smiles inwardly with her own thoughts.

However, as if her inner soul warned her, Bella dismissed the thought as quickly as it came.

"Are you satisfied enough to look at me like that, Bella?"

Tristan’s question snapped her back from her thought.

Bella hurriedly turned her gaze and fastened her car seat belt, ignoring his cheap words.

After a few seconds passed, when her awkwardness had lessened, Bella glanced at Tristan again to check his mood. She feared he would feel annoyed because he had waited almost two hours.

When she noticed his calm expression, she felt relieved.

"Sorry, Tristan, to make you wait."

Bella feels terrible about making this big boss wait for her. If Tristan’s employees or fans out there know about it, they are probably cursing her, right?

Tristan glanced at her briefly without saying a word. He then starts the car engine and focuses on driving away from the Quantum Capital building.

After the car hits the road, Tristan answers, "It’s fine. You were worth the wait. You should know, Bella...waiting for you for two hours was fun for me." He said this in the most gentle tone that Bella had ever heard without a shred of sarcastic tone, which made her heart stir slightly.

Bella felt her heartbeat speed up. Hastily, she turned around and scolded herself for being almost swayed by his lines and gentleness.

Gosh!

She starts to know Tristan’s new hobby of twisting her words into a cheese line to waver her. How shameless!

Now, she must divert the conversation again, or this man will continue teasing her.

After a few minutes, no one talked; finally, Bella, the one who asked him first, "You didn’t go to the office?"

He slightly smiled before answering, "I remember we got to the office together this morning, Bella. Have you forgotten!?"

"Yes. The company gave me a place to live with Dax and Noora, but my grandfather insisted we live with him."

"I see," Tristan felt grateful to Isaac. He would never know Bella’s address if they didn’t live there because it was hard to find her personal info. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"It would be best if Dax grew up in a house, not an apartment," he said.

Bella chuckled at his words.

"Well, you know what? That’s what Grandpa told me. That’s why I agreed..." Bella stopped as she remembered her grandfather’s following sentence. "Dax also needs a male figure in his life." But, for some unknown reason, she couldn’t tell Tristan this.

Bella remained silent on the way home, fearing he would twist her words again.

When their car entered the front yard, Bella saw Dax and Noora standing before the main door, waiting for them as usual.

She didn’t bother waiting for Tristan to turn off the engine; she immediately stepped out of the car and ran towards Dax.

"I’m sorry, baby... I felt terrible missing dinner with you."

"It’s okay, Mom. You don’t break your promise," Dax said. Bella let go of her hug and looked into his eyes, confused.

"I haven’t had my dinner yet, Mom. I’m waiting for you." Dax smiled faintly as he looked at his surprised mother. "And please stop being dramatic, mommy. This is only eight. Let’s have dinner now." He then turned to see Tristan.

"Dad, come join us..." Dax smiles at him.

Tristan couldn’t help but smile widely at his adorable son’s efforts to get them back together.

Noora, who saw Tristan smiling widely like the spring had come, walked towards him and whispered, "Master, you have to work hard to win my young miss’ heart. Fighting, master!!"
