My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 544

Bella was so happy to reunite with all of her friends.

As the night came, the reunion continued. Tristan prepared a small dinner party for all of them in another room so the babies and Dax could rest.

And after dinner, Leo dropped a shocking piece of news when everyone gathered in the living room.

"Guys, I just want to inform you that Dana and I are proudly expecting a child..." Leo said while holding Dana’s hand tightly.

Instantly, the room became lively again, with everyone looking happy for Dana and Leo.

Bella quickly led Dana and Harper into a corner, leaving the men to chat about things they weren’t interested in. She sat between the two girls.

Once they settled onto the three-seater sofa, she was eager to hear about Dana’s pregnancy and Harper’s marriage plans.

She was thrilled to learn that Harper and Sean would be getting married in early fall this year. However, she was now curious about Dana’s pregnancy. She rarely spoke to Dana over the phone; they had only met at her wedding party a few months ago.

"Dana, I’m so happy for you. Once again, congratulations…" Bella gently grabbed Dana’s hand. "Do you know the gender yet?"

"Not yet, Boss Bella. We only found out about my pregnancy last week, and it was too early to know the gender..." Dana giggled happily as she shared the good news with them.

"Congratulations, dear. But please, Dana, can you stop calling me that? I’m no longer your boss, alright." Bella shook her head helplessly.

Bella didn’t understand what had happened to them; Sam, Dana, and everyone who knew her at Quantum Capital insisted on calling her Boss Bella, even though she hadn’t worked for the company since December last year.

Dana opened her mouth, ready to respond to Bella, but she paused when Harper’s voice came out ahead of hers.

"Oh, wow! Come on, girl, accept it!" Harper chuckled, glancing at Bella’s annoyed expression.

She continued, "You’ll always be their boss, Bella. And how can you just leave the company like that? You still have a responsibility at the head office as Jack’s advisor, right?"

Bella let out a deep sigh and shot a sharp look at Harper. "Geez! I’m not sure. Because you and Jack always give me a headache, Harper Reed. But you’re right. I won’t completely abandon the company we built together.

That is so not me," she smiles.

Harper laughed upon hearing Bella’s words.

"Boss Bella, what Boss Harper said is true," Dana laughed.

"OK, OK, enough about me," Bella sighed deeply as she turned her attention back to Dana. "Tell us about your pregnancy, Dana. How’s Leo? Did he take good care of you?"

Before Dana could reply, Harper, once more, interjected, causing Bella and Dana to turn their gaze toward her.

"Leo Smith ticked me off. I never knew he had a side like that. I’ve always known him as cold and mischievous all this time..."

"Don’t mention it," Harper said. "Oh right, Dana, please tell me when you want to take your long leave. So, I could ask my secretary in New York to move here."

"Yes, I will," Dana promised, even though she did not know when, as this was her first pregnancy, she was clueless about everything.

While Dana and Harper were chatting, something was bothering Bella. She asked, "Dana, will Leo allow you to work after giving birth?"

Harper suddenly gasped.

"Oh my gosh! Why didn’t I think about it?" Harper, also curious, looked at Dana, "Did he?"

Dana shook her head helplessly.

"To be honest, we haven’t talked about it. I want to continue working, but we’ll see how things go," Dana answered. She wants to work, but she doesn’t have the luxury of having a family or someone who can help her take care of her child, and she can’t imagine entrusting her child to daycare.

"You should talk to Leo, Dana. I need to know about it faster to find someone who can continue your work," Harper’s tone became intense because this was not a small matter.

Bella became more concerned about the company, not only because of Dana. But also because Harper would be married and have a child. She narrowed her eyes, looking at Harper.

’Was she aware of it? Why does she look so relaxed?’ Bella wondered.

"Harper, what about you? Did Sean allow you to work?" Bella finally voiced her concern.
