My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 467

Emily Stearn glanced at Tristan and her husband.

"Tristan, I’m so glad you finally brought your wife to meet us," Emily said, causing Tristan and Jayson Spencer to pause their conversation and look at Bella.

Tristan’s smile widened as he placed his hand on Bella’s shoulder and gently pulled her close.

"Brother Jayson, Sister Emily, I hope you still remember my wife, Arabella Donovan," Tristan proudly reintroduced her.

"Luckily, you brought her today, or we might forget her," Jayson Spencer laughed warmly as he offered Bella a handshake.

"I’m so grateful to meet you again, Bella. My wife and I are pleased to have you join us for dinner with our family tonight," Jayson said sincerely.

Hearing Jayson’s kind words, Bella felt her nervousness melt away. She immediately accepted his hand, saying, "Me too, sir. I’m glad to meet you and your family."

Even though her nervousness was slowly fading, Bella couldn’t shake the feeling that this man was similar to Sean. It felt like she was meeting a fifty-year-old Sean. His voice, too, seemed like she was talking to Sean now, not Jayson Spencer.

"Bella, you can call me by my name or ’brother,’ just like Tristan does," Jayson insisted.

Bella suddenly felt her blood run cold. How could she call him ’brother’? He is the country’s president and her best friend’s father.

The strange connection overwhelmed her, and she started to feel slightly dizzy.

Just as she was about to refuse, she saw his charming, sincere, and thoughtful expression, making her nod in agreement, unable to utter anything, realizing refusing such a kindhearted person would be impolite.

"Jayson, Tristan," Emily said, noticing Bella’s nervous expression, "It’s getting chilly out here. I’m afraid Bella will be cold. We’d better move inside. Come, Bella, walk with me."

"Apologies, Bella, Tristan," Jayson’s smile felt terrible. "Alright, let’s go inside," he agreed with his wife as the temperature dropped. He led the way, with Tristan walking beside him.

After glancing at Tristan, Bella walked, catching up with Emily, to enter their residence.

While walking inside toward the living room, Bella heard Emily explain the residence where she had lived for the past few years since her husband became president.

However, in this house, she lived only with her daughter, while her eldest son lived in his own apartment.

Bella listened to Emily’s explanation without saying much. She tried to take in the place’s grandeur but couldn’t enjoy it as Emily started to talk about Sean.

"Unfortunately, my son can’t join us tonight, Bella. He is busy with his duties," Emily said sadly.

Bella seemed happy to hear it—at least she wouldn’t feel awkward with Sean in the same room as Tristan. She still remembered the tension from their last meeting at her house and didn’t want them to confront each other with Sean’s family around.

However, Bella’s happiness was short-lived when Emily continued, "But don’t worry. Even though Sean won’t be around, his sister, Keira, and my sister-in-law, Amanda Spencer, will join us," she said excitedly.

Bella’s heart races. She worried about meeting Amanda Spencer again.

"My niece, Rose Wilson, will also join us tonight. I will introduce you to them later," Emily whispered as they finally settled on the three-seater sofa and sat side by side.

Bella only smiled while nodding, unsure of how to respond. Occasionally, she glanced at Tristan, sitting not far from them, engrossed in a meaningful conversation with Jayson Spencer.

"Finally, you guys are here, Amanda, Kei, Rose, Evan," greeted Emily. As Jason and Tristan began talking to Evan, Emily turned to Bella. "Let me introduce you to my family."

Bella smiled and nodded as she looked at each of them.

"This is Keira, my younger daughter," Emily introduced.

Bella was surprised that the beautiful young girl was Sean’s little sister. "Hello, I’m Bella," she said, politely shaking Keira’s hand.

"And this is Rose Wilson Spencer, my husband’s niece, and that man over there is her husband, Evan Collins," Emily continued.

Once again, Bella was surprised to see Rose Wilson, whom she had seen on the internet.

"Hello, I’m Arabella Donovan. It’s nice to meet you," Bella said, accepting Rose’s warm hug. Meeting such influential people she had only seen online or on television felt unreal.

"And this one—" Emily paused when she saw Amanda smiling at Bella; it seemed they already knew each other. She frowned. "Amanda, you know Bella?"

"Yes, sis, I know Bella. We have met once before," Amanda said, happily embracing Bella. "I’m glad to meet you again," she whispered.

"Me too, sister Amanda," Bella said, relieved because she could sense that Amanda didn’t despise her.

"Alright, let’s sit and talk," Emily suggested, leading Bella to sit beside her.
