My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 511

Bella slightly frowned, looking at Jack. Gosh! It seems like Leo didn’t tell him anything about Dana.

"You didn’t know?" she asked.

"Know what?" Jack is even more confused.

"Leo is dating his secretary, Dana. They are serious and might get married soon. So, I believe he will not return either. He might settle here, too. Just like Sam," Bella explained.

The room fell silent for a moment. Bella didn’t say anything; she just stared at Jack, who looked shocked upon hearing the news.

A few moments later, Jack cleared his throat and said, "What the hell happened here? Why does everyone now have their other half in this country? Should I also move here and find my future wife?" he sarcastically expressed his current concern.

Bella couldn’t help but laugh.

"Well, my dear friend, Jack Foster, you should try. Like Harper and Leo, you might end up settling in this country."

"Yes, yes, I should consider that. I mean it..."

"Hahaha—"

...

At the same time, Tristan and the other men sat on the backyard patio, enjoying the gentle sun and engaging in conversation.

Lewis Sinclair and Isaac Donovan caught up on their recent lives as they now live in different cities. Meanwhile, Dax sat in a single seat, engrossed in a coding game on his iPad.

Tristan looked worried about his father’s health, unable to divert his attention from his father sitting beside him.

His father appeared thin, pale, and exhausted, with signs of illness taking a toll on him. His hair was gone due to his increasingly frequent battles with illness. He rarely left the house, only staying at home and fighting through the pain with the help of his medications.

Seeing his father in such distress made Tristan increasingly concerned about his own health and lifestyle, prompting him to exercise more rigorously and eat healthier. He didn’t want his son and Bella to experience the same sadness if he were to face a similar illness in the future.

Tristan let out a deep sigh before leaning in closer to his father.

"Father, you don’t have to push yourself to join us for lunch. Not if you’re in pain. Just stay home; Bella and Dax will understand," he whispered, not wanting Dax and the others to overhear their conversation.

"I’m fine, son. I feel perfectly healthy," William Sinclair smiled to reassure Tristan.

William wasn’t entirely honest with his son because now he felt like nameless pain tortured him inside; he endured it. He couldn’t be absent from his grandson’s birthday party, probably the first and last time he would attend.

"But you don’t look okay, Dad." Tristan wanted to say that, but his words stuck in his throat.

Tristan turned his gaze to Dax and tried to distract himself from his worry about his father’s health.

Bella slightly nodded but didn’t ask anything further about her first uncle.

"Aunty, how about Third Uncle?" Bella asked.

"Thomas is doing well. He has come to see your Grandpa a few times, asking for a job. But, of course, your Grandpa didn’t give him anything. And I heard recently that he started his own company with his wife’s help." Emma explained.

Bella smiled faintly. "At least he’s not like my first uncle. He still has enough money."

"You’re right, Bella. Your third uncle can’t do business, so I hope his wife helps him now. He’s the nicest among his other siblings..." Emma said with a bitter smile, describing how foolish all her brothers were.

"Alright, let’s stop talking about them," Natalie said as she handed Bella another slice of cheesecake. "It’s too depressing to talk about all of them."

Bella and Emma nodded, agreeing with Natalie.

While enjoying her cake, Bella’s gaze was fixed on her brother Henry.

She had been busy with office matters in the past few days, including dealing with her injury, so she hadn’t had time to check on her brother.

Bella could see that her brother looked healthy. He hadn’t said anything since he arrived; he just greeted her. And now, her brother was looking over at Tristan and Jack, who were talking on the other sofa in the corner.

Only by looking at his envious gaze, Bella could guess what he was thinking. Suddenly, the future plans she had set for her brother started to fill her mind again.
