My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 269

Tristan sighed deeply.

A faint smile slowly appeared on his lips as he whispered her name, "Bella..."

He takes out his cell phone to text her. However, before he can type anything, a text appears.

Tristan’s smile grew wider as he read the sender’s name; it was his wife, Bella.

How did she know he was about to text her to ask where she was now? He feels they seem to communicate telepathically.

[Bella] Hubby, I miss you. I just wanted to let you know that I’m now meeting with my legal team in my office.

Tristan’s heart slowly calms, and he feels relieved knowing she is back in her office.

Since last night, when he knew she would meet Amanda Spencer today, his mind had never stopped worrying about their meeting. He didn’t know why, but a strange worry emerged in his mind: the Spencer family would steal his wife.

[Bella] This meeting is so boring. I hope you come to pick me up soon! (Cry Emoji)

He feels amused reading her text. Just before he wanted to reply, another text came in.

[Bella] How is your meeting there? Is everything okay?

[Bella] (Curious Emoji)

He immediately replies to her short message.

[Tristan] Everything is fine. I told them about us and our sons.

He sends the text, and a second later, Bella replies.

[Bella] Glad to know that.

[Bella] Are they positive about it? (worry emoji)

He types fast again,

[Tristan] Yes. But my mother fainted.

However, before he presses send, his hands stop typing. He suddenly feels worried about letting her know about his mother’s condition; she fainted after hearing the news about them. He fears this news will distract Bella from her meeting.

After a quick thought, Tristan decides to talk to her at home later.

He immediately erases his text and types another one, telling her he will call her later when he picks her up.

His loving smile slowly frames his face when he reads Bella’s sweet reply,

[Bella] Okie, hubby! Love you... (Kiss Emoji) (Blushing Emoji)

’Why does she sound so happy? Did something happen in her office?’ Tristan wonders. He was suspicious because his wife rarely used love emojis when she texted him.

He nodded and excused himself; however, his father stopped him before he could walk away.

"My son, this is about Bella and my grandson..." William Sinclair’s voice sounded shaky. He reluctantly expressed what was on his mind. However, he had to say it. "Can I meet them?"

William knew it was unlikely Tristan would allow him to meet Bella. Still, he needed to apologize to Bella for his ignorance and past actions. He had allowed his wife to abuse his daughter-in-law verbally.

Tristan stopped and turned to see his father. "I’m sorry, Father, but I cannot decide anything. I will ask my wife whether she will consider meeting you and Mother." He had already promised to protect Bella’s heart and not allow her to suffer again.

"It’s okay, my son. I understand if she finds meeting me and your mother hard." William answered. He did not feel offended or disappointed when he heard his son’s rejection. "But, can you tell Bella… I’m going to see her without your mother. And tell her I owe her an apology."

Tristan was taken aback by his father’s words. He had never heard his father say those words before, but just now, he heard his father say he owed Bella an apology.

’Did I hear wrongly?’ Tristan wondered while looking into his father’s eyes. He was surprised to see his father’s eyes turn red. ’He is sincere!’

Silently, he took a deep sigh. He didn’t say a word but nodded before leaving the room.

Meanwhile, at the Donovan Building in East City.

"CLANK!!"

Jacob Donovan threw his coffee cup on the floor. He was furious to see the company’s share price plummet as soon as the stock market opened this morning. By the time the stock market closed, the value of Donovan Group’s shares hadn’t increased by even a penny.
