My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 369

Bella, "..."

It looks like she needs to teach Stefan a lesson. How dare he give her son a cheat game? Gosh!

Bella tries not to laugh when she hears Dax’s words. She glances at Tristan only to see his worried expression as he looks at their son.

She tries to give Tristan a sign to explain to their son the meaning of leveling up using a cheat or without his effort. However, her husband doesn’t grasp her sign.

"Oh, Uncle Gael can create a game? Oh, wow!" Tristan asks while looking at Bella. He seems to need more explanation.

Bella is speechless.

’Gosh! Why is he more interested in Stefan’s ability?’

"So Quantum also has a game division?" Tristan continues to ask when he sees her and seems reluctant to answer.

There’s no point in hiding this from Tristan. He already knows, and Stefan has also already exposed himself to Dax. Tsk! She now starts to regret inviting Stefan to lunch at her house.

Smiling innocently, Bella responds to Tristan, "Hmm, Gael is the man behind our game company; maybe you’ve heard about Soft Tech?"

Tristan smiles slightly upon hearing that. In the past, he had heard rumors about Soft Tech, which the RDF group owned, but he didn’t believe them because Soft Tech was not listed on the company’s website.

He still remembers a few years ago when he came across Soft Tech. He was interested in collaborating with them and offered to become their exclusive agent in his country. However, Soft Tech refused with an unreasonable excuse—they did not want to expand their company in his country and did not need a new partner.

"Yes, I hear they are the best in this industry. So, was that company really related to the RDF Group? Your company?" Tristan asks, wanting to hear it directly from her.

When Soft Tech refused to work with his company, he wasn’t suspicious. Now he understands why they refused him with such an excuse. Jack and Gael must have known about him and wanted to teach him a lesson. Remembering those times, he can only laugh bitterly inwardly.

Bella leans closer to Tristan and whispers, not wanting her mother and aunt to hear their conversation, "Yes, they are, but Jack lists the company under our anonymous company. You know... we just want to keep a low profile and not attract many eyes to the RDF Group."

"How many anonymous companies does the RDF Group own?" Tristan also lowers his voice, so only Bella can hear. He knows Dax might listen to them, even though he is now immersed in his game again.

"Sorry, Mr. Sinclair, I can’t tell you that. It’s a company secret." Bella almost laughs when she sees his wrinkled eyebrows.

"Alright, I will give you one piece of info. The company that now buys Donovan Group was my anonymous company. So, you can ask Max to investigate the company and learn about the wealth of one of the RDF founders..." She continues while pointing to her face with a playful smile.

Tristan is increasingly curious about his wife’s actual wealth. How many companies does she own and manage? How about her personal assets? He believes she has many assets outside of their country. And for the first time, only thinking of that makes him worry that his wife is too independent and far from the usual traditional woman. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Bella becomes nervous when she sees her aunt’s expression, which doesn’t look as calm as before. She can clearly see the worry in her aunt’s face.

After Bella excuses herself to Tristan and Dax, she looks at her mother and says, "Mom, I’m going to talk to Aunty. I want you to get as much rest as possible, okay?"

Natalie nods. She understands Bella and Emma need to talk privately. Not long after that, Natalie excuses herself to rest before Dr. Angie comes to pick her up and move her to the hospital.

Later,

Bella and Emma settle in the guest room, the one Emma would use in the villa, and sit across from each other.

However, after sitting for a few minutes, Emma doesn’t say a single word. The sentences she wants to say, already on the tip of her tongue, seem to make a U-turn back into her heart.

Bella can see her aunt’s reluctance to speak. Emma opens her mouth a few times, but no words come out. Bella knows that something is troubling her aunt.

After waiting a few more seconds, Bella can’t wait any longer.

"Aunty, is there anything you’re worried about? Please share it with me. Maybe I can help."
