My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 553

At The Donovan Family’s Dinner.

Bella was surprised when she arrived at Aunt Emma’s house and found that many of her family members had already gathered for dinner. She thought she had arrived too early, before six, but it turned out she and her family were the last guests to arrive.

All of her uncles, along with their wives and children, were present. She also noticed her Grandpa and a few of his old friends who live nearby engaging in conversation.

When everyone in the living room noticed Bella and Tristan’s arrival, the room instantly fell silent. No one spoke, but all eyes were on them.

Bella immediately felt awkward at being the center of attention. She had never been the focus of attention at family events before.

Even during her father’s funeral, when her family came to pay their last respects, she had spent most of her time at the hospital, allowing her Grandpa and mother to meet with everyone. She had only appeared for a few hours and had kept her distance from everyone.

Feeling nervous, Bella held Tristan’s hand tightly while smiling at her aunt.

"Bella and Tristan, thank you for coming," Emma stood up from her seat and quickly embraced Bella. Still, she immediately loosened her embrace when her eyes fixed on Aurora and Oliver.

"Aunty Emma, please don’t say that...it is our duty as a family to come to this dinner," Bella answered, following her to see the twins. She continued, "Thank you for inviting us, Aunty Emma..."

"Oh my Lord, why do these two cute babies grow so fast?" Emma said she approached Aurora and Oliver in Natalie and Noora’s arms.

While Bella was talking to Emma, Tristan stood in his place, holding his son’s hand. He felt uncomfortable in this place but tried not to show it. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

When Tristan saw Isaac Donovan approach them, he slightly nodded and smiled at him.

"Tristan, thank you for coming," Isaac offered him a warm handshake while glancing and smiling at Dax.

"Grandpa, this is our family event. Of course, my wife and I should come," Tristan politely answered while accepting his handshake.

"Alright, let’s sit first," Isaac said, smiling happily because Tristan was willing to meet all his family members despite what had happened in the past. Almost all of his family tried to harm Bella, but this man holds his grudge and decides not to punish them.

"Thank you, Tristan..." Isaac nodded at him before he turned to see Dax again, "Little Dax, let’s sit and meet your uncles and Grandpa... you too, Tristan, please follow me," He took Dax’s hand. He led him and Tristan to meet others.

Bella also followed Tristan and Dax, but before she settled on the couch, she greeted her first and third uncles.

Even though her stance with them is still the same, Bella can’t ruin her Aunty Emma and Uncle Archy’s happy wedding vibe by ignoring them, especially since her Grandpa’s best friend is with them tonight.

"Uncle Jacob," Bella said while offering her hand for a handshake. She also gestured to Tristan to do the same and greet her uncle. It would be awkward if Tristan also ignored them.

Henry clears his throat, "Yes, sister. Let me introduce you..." He said while glancing at the woman beside her. Gently placing his hand behind her, he said, "This is Aria Foster; she is my girlfriend."

Henry looked at Aria, "You know her, right? My sister, Arabella Donovan, and this is her husband, Tristan Sinclair." He said, smiling at Tristan.

Aria immediately offered both of them a polite handshake. She still can’t believe that Bella is actually the biggest shareholder in their company, their true boss. And when she also learns that Bella’s husband is Tristan Sinclair, one of the country’s wealthiest men, she is even more stunned.

"Alright, let’s sit and talk," Bella said to break the tension. After the four of them settled, then she glanced at Liam. "Hello there, Liam...you look more handsome and mature now. Congratulations on finally finishing your studies."

"Sis, thank you," Liam nodded and smiled at Tristan. "And thanks for coming."

"Liam, no need to say that..." Bella shook her head while chuckling. "How do you feel about having a father again, Liam?"

"Super happy..." Liam smiled at Bella. At first, he was shocked to learn that his mother would be remarried, but he was also happy because he could pursue his dream abroad without worrying about his mother anymore; there was someone who would care for her.

Bella didn’t know when she would revisit East City again, but today, she was grateful. She could meet all her family to celebrate her Aunt Emma’s wedding day.

"Great to hear that, Liam..."
