My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 20

Bella and the others rest in the cafe shop before entering customs.

"You only have 30 minutes, Jack," She said while her eyes fixed on Dax and Noora, who sat at the other table with a man wearing a black casual outfit — Jack’s bodyguard.

"Have you ever read the gossip in Astington?" He was curious to know what she thought about what had happened recently regarding her ex-husband.

Jack never asked about this when he visited Bella at her cabin. He didn’t want to ruin her happiness. But now Bella has to face reality; she couldn’t avoid it. Because, sooner or later, she and Tristan will definitely meet.

"No. Well, you know that I didn’t want to stress myself. Why did you ask? Did something happen there?" Bella calmly replied, but for some unknown reason, of course, her heart slightly trembled.

Jack chuckled slightly. He could see her worry flash through her gaze.

He gave her an iPad. "Take this. I already summarized every piece of information from Astington that is related to you... about your ex!"

Slowly, Bella’s expression became sour. She didn’t expect Jack to feed her about this information right away before she flew there.

She narrowed her eyes, looking at Jack. As if wanted to scold him, "What a heartless young man!"

Jack can’t hold his laugh, looking at Bella’s annoying-looking eyes.

"Oh, come on, Bella! Five years already, and you still have feelings for him?" Jack casually said, wanting to tease her, but his words were like a slap in Bella’s face, her face red.

When he doesn’t hear Bella say something, Jack starts to worry about her condition; she still harbors feelings toward Tristan Sinclair, which is not good.

"Alright, just forget it. Give me the iPad, and I will delete all files—"

"Who is afraid reading about him?" Bella didn’t give Jack a chance to finish his words. She glared at him for a few seconds before turning her gaze to the iPad. She is now curious about the news that Jack wants her to read. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

There was a proud smile now framing Jack’s face.

He continues, "I also save files related to your work so you can read them before joining the company. Well, you don’t have to visit the office right away; you said you would visit your grandpa—" Jack paused when he saw a frown on her forehead.

Curious about what she read now, he glanced at the iPad screen.

Suddenly, a soft chuckle escaped from his lips when he saw Bella read news about Tristan marrying Laura Kiels.

’What do you expect, Bella? Of course, he will marry her; she is pregnant and could give him a child, the successor for the Sinclair family...’ Bella speaks to herself, trying to calm her mind while not showing much emotion reading the news.

She closed the news and read the file about their company. However, she got distracted by Jack’s voice.

"That’s only gossip news, Bella. Don’t worry too much about that."

"Gossip?" Bella slowly lifts her head and looks at Jack. "He didn’t throw a party for her?"

Actually, Bella didn’t want to talk about this, but she felt sorry for Laura because Tristan and his family treated Laura just like hers; there was no wedding party.

"Perfect! I put all the details about recent news in the business world on that iPad; you can read it later."

Jack couldn’t deny that Bella was the best in their class. She was intelligent and rustless when she dealt with her work. It’s not wrong if they rely on her to embark on Astington Market.

"And don’t worry too much. Even though our company is still small in Astington, our main business was big enough to worry them. Maybe you didn’t know, but we are in the top twenty-five globally."

Bella is slightly surprised, but a few seconds later, her smile blooms.

"No wonder the amount of money I had in my savings surprised me. Jack, with that money, I don’t have to work and can still live comfortably..."

Jack’s face suddenly turned tense, "Bella, don’t ever think that you will back down!!" he said quickly, knowing that this girl had been resting too long.

"Hahaha, don’t worry, Jack." Bella burst into laughter when she saw Jack’s panicked expression. "I won’t back down. Besides, I need money to raise my son. He has expensive hobbies..."

Jack feels relieved, but then something crosses his mind, "Did you have a plan to handle Sinclair? They wouldn’t stay silent if they knew Dax was part of them, right?"

Bella didn’t answer him. Instead, she stood up from her seat. "Alright, your thirty minutes have finished. Bye, Jack!"

Jack chuckled, "If I have time, I will visit you..."

"Hmm, see ya!" Bella waved at Jack as they left.
