My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 19

February 2023.

Inside a small but modern cabin, Bella Donovan stood by a large window overlooking the frozen lake outside, clad in a light brown sweater and stirrup leggings.

Even though she wore casual house clothes, Bella still looked stunning; her skin was pale but radiant, contrasting with her black hair cascading down her back. She no longer looks overweight but has returned to her ideal weight. Her sexy body curves are now more visible.

Her light-gray eyes were fixed on the frozen lake while her hand held a cup of coffee — she was lost in her own thoughts, thinking about her return plan to her country, Astington.

She still wanted to enjoy this winter in North Sweden before returning; however, she couldn’t delay any longer, as the company needed her. Jack called her almost daily to remind her about their branch in Astington.

And,

The biggest reason for her to return as quickly as possible was her grandfather. The last news she heard was that her grandfather was seriously ill.

...

"Mommy—" a boy’s voice sounded in the room, snapping Bella from her thoughts.

Her smile grew wider when she saw a chubby, fair-skinned little boy walking toward her — he looked so cute in his black pajamas.

"Good morning, my little prince Dax..." Bella greeted him with a big smile while placing her coffee cup on the table.

Half kneeling before him, Bella looked into Dax’s brilliant blue eyes. She became increasingly worried as her son started to resemble Tristan more and more each day, with similar eye and hair colors.

The thought of Tristan or his family seeing her son made her nervous. One of the biggest worries she returns to Astington is how to hide Dax from Sinclair.

"Why did my little Prince not greet his mommy? And why do you look angry this morning?" Bella playfully asked him while rubbing his warm cheeks.

"Mom, good morning," the cute little Dax finally said with a deadpan expression.

Seeing Dax’s expression, Bella thought again of the man she wanted to forget. ’Gosh... how can they have similar expressions like this?’ Bella could only sigh in her heart.

"My prince, how’s your sleep?"

"Stop calling me prince, mommy..." Dax protest.

Bella chuckled, "Oh baby, you have to accept that. You will be my Prince until you grow older..."

Dax shook his head but didn’t utter anything. He just helped Bella to stand on her feet.

"Let’s sit and talk, Mom." He held her hand and led her to sit in the seating area near the fireplace.

"Why didn’t you like me to call you like that? That sounds cute," Bella asked after they settled on the couch.

"I’m not a prince," Dax answered her while crossing his hand over his chest. "I prefer you call my name Dax or Daxton. That the reason you gave me a name, to be called, right?"

Bella, "..."

She tried hard not to laugh, hearing how mature this little man spoke to her.

He just stood there, doing nothing but could attract the attention of people around him. They saw him as if he were a wealthy nobleman.

Bella couldn’t help but smile widely; looking at him, she held Dax’s hand and walked toward him.

"Jack, so happy to see you here," Bella smiled widely and turned her gaze at her son, "Dax greeted Uncle Jack."

"Hello, Uncle Jack," Dax said while offering a handshake to Jack.

"Little man, it’s nice to meet you again. You look taller than before..." Jack said while accepting his tiny hand gently. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Jack, thank you so much," Bella took the luggage trolley from Noora and pushed it to Jack. "You are truly my best friend; I didn’t expect someone as busy as you to come here to help us..." She gave him their plane ticket and passport.

Jack, "..."

He almost choked hearing her words.

’Who comes here to help you take care of your luggage?’ He came here today to ensure she returned to Astington. Their company is waiting for her return to take over.

Jack wanted to answer her but was speechless when he saw Bella walk away toward the seating area.

He chuckled while gesturing to his bodyguard.

"You take care of this..." Jack ordered, then followed Bella.
