My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 374

"Father, you overthink," William said after his laughter subsided. "I gave my grandson that card as a welcome gift to express my gratitude because he was born healthy and became my grandson. The amount of money in that card and the shareholding is my gift for him..."

Lewis was speechless.

Dax could only blink, looking at the card and then up at his Grandpa, confused.

"Don’t worry, Father. I don’t have a plan for what you’re worrying about." William Sinclair’s words paused; he almost said, "I don’t have much time to do that. Death is approaching; I will cherish my time with my grandson and my son..." He swallowed silently, trying to smile at his father, worried his father could read his thoughts.

William’s priority in his last days was to right the wrongs he had done in the past; he no longer cared about money and power because none of that would follow him to his grave.

Lewis Sinclair was relieved to hear this. However, he still thought giving Dax such a gift was too hasty.

"William, I understand your intention, but don’t you think this is too rushed? Why do I feel like you’re about to die tomorrow, and you’re giving Dax his inheritance now?" Lewis said, smiling, feeling amused by his son’s foolish act.

William Sinclair felt like a lump of charcoal was burning in his throat as he heard his father’s words. How could he have guessed it right? Worrying that his father would discover the truth, he hid his concerned expression behind a forced laugh.

"Ha-Ha-Ha...father, you are so funny. Who will die tomorrow? Please—" William said playfully.

When Lewis laughs with William. Tristan remains silent and cold.

Tristan knew that his father was seriously ill, and the doctor had said he could die at any moment. He clenched his teeth, held himself back, and refrained from speaking.

While Dax was still puzzled, he thought his Grandpa had permitted him to handle the market account without supervision. But it seemed he had not.

Realizing this, Dax became afraid, considering a considerable amount of money must be inside the account. He looked at William and waited until he finished speaking to Lewis before finally saying something.

"Thank you, Grandpa... But this is too much for me as a welcome gift," Dax expressed his concern. He couldn’t accept it until his father or mother allowed him to. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Knowing that his father did not have a good relationship with his Grandpa Will, Dax believed he would reject it immediately.

Curious to know his father’s opinion, Dax turned to see him, "Right, Daddy? This is too much for me!?"

"My dear Dax, it’s fine. Your father will allow you to accept..." William answered, looking at Tristan as if he wanted to signal him not to refuse his gift to his grandson. This is probably his last gift for Dax.

The day finally ended, and William Sinclair excused himself. Although he was reluctant to leave, he couldn’t stay there too long, or his wife would be suspicious.

William walked with Tristan to his car. He could see his son was still concerned about his health. Knowing that his son still cared for him warmed him inside, and he felt grateful for that.

"Tristan, if you show those expressions before the others, they might know about my illness. And don’t worry too much about me; I’m now at the stage to accept this ordeal from God..." William paused his words when he saw his son frown.

"Well, simply put, I think this is the price I have to pay because I wasn’t a good father to you or a father-in-law to Bella," William continued.

Tristan was speechless when he heard his father’s words. He was genuinely worried about his father’s health. Because his people, who were now searching for the best doctor abroad, had not returned with any good news. Deep down, he still hoped that a doctor could help to cure his father.

"I’m not worried about it," Tristan replied. He couldn’t tell his father what he was doing now, afraid his father would stop him from doing that. "I just want to say, please don’t come here again."

William Sinclair’s step came to an abrupt halt. He looked at his son. Inside, he felt crushed, but he managed to keep a smile as he accepted his son’s request not to see his grandson anymore.

Tristan frowned as he saw sadness flash through his father’s eyes.
