My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Cupid Alliance
“Speak clearly! I’m old now. I can’t understand the layers of your words—” Isaac cleared his throat, his intimidating gaze seemingly sharp enough to send shivers down Tristan’s spine.

“Sir, my legal status with Bella is still husband and wife. I never submitted our divorce papers to the court. If I want to ask her to return to me, I could—”

“W-WHAT!? YO-YOU…” Isaac couldn’t continue his words. His heart felt stuffy. He placed his hand over his chest, trying to breathe normally, shocked by what he heard.

Tristan worries when he sees Isaac’s face turn red as if all his blood is rushing straight into his face.

Afraid of triggering Isaac’s blood pressure or causing a heart attack, Tristan is reluctant to continue this conversation.

“Gr-Grandpa… S-Sir… Are you alright?” Tristan stood from his seat to help him. But he hears hurried steps from behind. He sees Nick, Isaac’s butler, come in and carry a water tray.

“Master, please drink this—” Nick said politely while pouring water for him. Isaac immediately took a glass of water and drank it.

After he feels better, Isaac glances at Nick and says, “Thank you. I’m fine now… You might go back inside,” He dismissed Nick. Then, he returned his gaze to Tristan and gestured for him to sit again.

“You said your status with my granddaughter is still husband and wife? Legally?” Isaac asked again, worried he had heard wrong. This is big news and something they can’t talk about lightly.

“That’s right. That’s what I said,” Tristan answered him earnestly.

Isaac fell silent again as if he was pondering something.

After a few more seconds, he looked at Tristan.

“Does anyone else know about this?”

“Just me and my lawyer… And now, you.”

“I see,” Isaac began to understand why Tristan said he didn’t want to force Bella to come back to him, even though he could because Bella’s status was still his wife.

Isaac took a deep breath. He never imagined this plot twist happening to his grandaughter’s life.

How could this brat have hidden this? Why didn’t he tell him when they met a few years ago?

‘Sigh!!’ Isaac silently took another deep breath, trying to fill the air in his chest.

It is still hard for Isaac to believe that in the past, he scolded this brat and almost hit him for nothing. “So, you want—”

“Daddy—”

Isaac’s sentence stopped when he heard Dax’s voice. He immediately turned to look at him and was surprised to see his great-grandson’s confused expression as he looked at his father.

“D-Dax…” Tristan was surprised, too. “Come here,” he asked his son to join them.

Tristan felt curious. When had Dax been standing there? Did he hear their conversation?

Before Tristan could ask, Dax stood before him.

“Dad, are you serious about what you said?”

Tristan was slightly surprised to hear his serious tone.

“Yes. Like I’ve told you before, I want to pursue your mother. And you already sided with me…” He smiled while patting the seat beside him. “Did my little man forget about that?”

Dax shook his head.

“No… Daddy… I didn’t forget. I’m trying to ask, ‘Are you seriously still legally married to Mommy?'”

When Dax learned that his father was visiting their house, he rushed to the living room only to stop and greet his father when he overheard their conversation.

At first, he didn’t understand, but when he asked Aunty Noora, he was surprised to learn that his parents were still legally married. How was that possible?

Tristan concealed his surprise behind his smile as gently patted Dax’s back.

“My little man, so you heard it?”

“Hmm… what do you mean, Daddy? I thought you and Mommy already divorced; why did you suddenly say you didn’t submit your divorce papers to the court!?” Dax expressed his confusion.

Tristan and Isaac, who heard Dax’s question, were rendered speechless.

How could a child this age understand such matters?

Curious to know whether this little fellow understood what he said, Isaac asked, “Baby Dax, do you understand about a marriage annulment letter…?”

Dax turned his gaze to Isaac, smiling before saying, “Gramps, of course, I know. Earlier, Aunty Noora was the one who explained it to me—”

Dax looked back to find Noora; when he saw her in the corner, he called for her to join them.

Noora suddenly froze.

‘Oh Lord, young master… why did you drag me in this conversation?’ She protested in her mind. However, despite her reluctance, she walked closer to the seating area and stood a few steps away.

Before Noora could say anything, Isaac Donovan burst out laughing, surprising everyone in the room.

“Hahaha, no need to feel afraid, Noora.” Isaac could see Noora’s face turn pale. “Come… come… join us. It’s fine if you know; this is not a secret anymore.”

Isaac couldn’t separate Noora from Bella and Dax’s lives. They already considered Noora to be their closest family.

“Old master,” Noora reluctantly took a seat. She wasn’t used to being around Tristan Sinclair, even though this man looked much different from the Tristan she knew in the past.

“Aunty Noora, you can join us…” Tristan smiled gently at her when he noticed her glancing at him a few times as if worried he would do something terrible.

Tristan had a goal to make Noora side with him to pursue Bella. He knew how significant Noora was in Bella’s life. She was the number three person on his list — how to win Bella’s heart.

With Noora joining in his fight to win back Bella, Tristan again explained this matter to Dax and how he would fight to get Bella back.

It made Isaac, Dax, and Noora feel sympathetic and finally agree to help him.

…

In the end, Dax suddenly said, “Daddy, Gramps, I will create a special group chat only for us. Just us three. We will discuss our strategy again there… What do you think?” his eyes beaming as he looked at them.

Tristan and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing Dax’s brilliant idea.

Thus, a new chat group was formed: CUPID ALLIANCE.
