My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 46

Dax could only shake his head while taking his iPad and sitting on the sofa. However, a few minutes passed, and a soft knock on the door could be heard.

"Dax, may I come in?"

He frowned, hearing his mother’s voice.

’Has she finished talking with Gramps?’ He wondered while glancing at the door.

"Yes, Mom. Come on in."

"Hi, Dax. What have you been up to? Are you playing a game?" Bella asked when she saw him on the sofa with an iPad in his hand.

"Hmm," he said calmly and showed the iPad screen to her. "I play chess online."

"Oh, are you learning to play chess so you can play with gramps?" Bella asked while sitting on the couch.

"No. Not really. I’m just bored waiting here."

"Huh… really? And why is that? Is it because you don’t like this room? Do you want to move to another room?"

Dax sighed deeply before saying, "No reason, really. And Mom, the room is fine. By the way, I thought you were sending me to my room because you wanted to talk alone with Gramps. Why are you here already?"

His gaze returned to focus on his iPad. Seeing the ID name bitter_coffee, his gaming friend now plays online chess with him. This bitter_coffee movement made him angry.

’Why couldn’t he hold five steps? Tsk! As the days went by, playing with him became less and less fun.’ He vents his anger inwardly.

Dax decided to log out; he didn’t want to play again. He typed something on the game chat.

[X4D] Got to go!!

[Bitter_Coffee] So fast? C’mon. What about one more match?

[X4D] Nah! Not until you upgrade your skills. Playing with you starting to bore me, bro!

[Bitter_Coffee] TF!

[X4D] TTYL!

Dax turns off his iPad and places it on his lap.

Bella was speechless when she heard his words.

"Haha, so you know? Did Grandma Noora tell you that?"

"No. I can tell just by looking at your gaze, Mom."

"Ah, I’m sorry, Dax. I really needed time to talk to your Great-Grandpa alone. That’s why I asked Noora to bring you here." Bella couldn’t hide anything from him if he started demanding answers.

This was why Bella was thankful Dax never asked about his father. She would have told him about Tristan if he had asked him long ago.

"Mommy..." Dax’s face turned serious when he saw Bella. "You can ask me nicely, Mom. If you say so, I’ll give you some time alone with Gramps, no problem..." He smiled.

However, what surprised Bella was the new companies, Dream Inc. and Wilson Group. These two new companies are now in the top five.

Dream Inc. is in third place, while Wilson Group is fifth on the list. She knew about them; this company is owned by an influential young couple, Evan Collins and Rose Spencer. *

Bella is interested in Rose Spencer because she is Sean’s long-lost cousin and now become the owner of Wilson Group.

"What a genius! They are now ranked in the Top Five," Bella was amazed.

Bella is scanning the company list, looking for their company position. What she saw shocked her.

"What the heck!? Who the hell did Jack put in charge of the company here? More than five years, but they’re not even in the top 25!?"

Bella couldn’t help but vent her frustration when she read Quantum Capital on the 27 ranks in the list.

"Gosh!! Is this the reason Jack forced me to immediately return to managing the company and bring Quantum Capital up the ranks?" She could only shake her head, amused by their company’s poor performance.

Bella continued to read about the company’s plans for the next five years.

"Jack, Jack... Now, give me a target to get our company into the top 10 in five years?" Bella couldn’t help but laugh when she thought Jack was punishing her for lazing around too long.

How troublesome!
