My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Family Day Out
Bella immediately steps out of the car, silently following Tristan and Dax as they walk before her. Seeing them hold hands, she feels her heart race.

It was not the first time Bella felt touched by the closeness of the two men in front of her; she had seen this often since they lived side by side.

By day, she found it hard to describe her feelings anymore. Her heart for Tristan slowly swells again, witnessing how patient and gentle he is toward Dax and how close they are now.

Bella tried hard not to waver, witnessing how close Tristan and Dax were now, but it was hard to do so. Especially all this time, she had always chosen Dax’s happiness over her own.

‘Did I start to waver on him again?’ This question has consistently appeared in her mind lately, teasing and confusing her.

‘NO! Stop thinking about it, Bella. You and Tristan are just a thing of the past!’ Bella shook her head, trying to get the ridiculous thought out of her mind.

Bella refuses to imagine her future with Tristan; they become husband and wife again. Just imagine how his parents, especially his mother, constantly verbally abused her; it was enough to make her heart suffocate.

“Mommy…”

Dax’s cute voice startled Bella and pulled her out of her thoughts. Bella smiled at Dax and took his hand to walk together. Holding her son’s smooth, plump hands was enough to calm her heart and mind.

The three of them now entered the empty restaurant.

No. Bella felt like he had entered someone else’s house. The place doesn’t look like a restaurant but rather a luxurious home with a large, beautiful living room.

The middle of the room has a seating area with an O-shaped sofa, surrounded by a vast glass wall showcasing a city view.

There are three wooden doors in the corner. She heard from Tristan that it was a dining room—all guests in this place would eat in a private room.

On the other side of the room, Bella saw a bar with wine and expensive alcohol. There was also a billiard table near the bar.

Looking at how luxurious this place was, Bella was curious to meet the owner; she wanted to ask why the owner made a place this beautiful and comfortable but only accepted ten guests daily. From a business perspective, it is clear that this person is not looking for profit.

‘Gosh, Bella! Forget about business! Can you just enjoy this happy moment with Dax?’ Bella chuckled inwardly as she put aside her curiosity.

Before long,

A bald man with a friendly smile on his round face greeted them.

“Mr. Sinclair, your table is ready upstairs,” the bald man said politely. He also greeted Bella with the same politeness; however, when he saw Dax, he was slightly surprised. Still, he kept his curiosity and gestured to them to follow him.

Tristan merely nods while following the man leading them to the second floor.

On the second floor, there’s a small lounge with the same city view with modern furnishings. They didn’t stop there, but the bald man led them to one of the doors in the corner.

A typical luxury VIP dining room has a large wooden table in the center with six rows of chairs facing each other. The room is decorated with modern furniture and expensive art hanging on the wall. It is the same with the lounge on the first floor; in this room, they can also see the city view through the glass wall that faces the city.

Bella and Dax sat side by side with the city view while Tristan sat opposite them, facing the door.

After they ordered food.

They began to engage in small talk; Tristan and Dax talked about the exhibition they visited earlier, while Bella just heard them while checking her cell phone.

She was surprised to read so many texts from Leo informing her about the progress of the company’s clean-up matter.

Their legal department started to summon everyone who abused their position and role in the company.

Basically, the company wants them to return what they have taken from the company. If they cannot return it, they will be sent to prison. No one can escape this matter, including the big star like Laura Kiels. She is one of the actresses they have who continually violates the cooperation contract.

Thanks to Stefan, they have all the evidence that Laura Kiels violated the contract, most often advertising the deal and drama. Because of her, companies usually have to pay fines. If she couldn’t return the money the company paid for her, she would also go to prison, and her career in this country would be over.

Of course, Bella has a unique way of taking care of this delusional woman. She will not be kind or easy on Laura.

How dare she make a scheme with Jessica to ruin her marriage!? If it weren’t for that bitch, her son wouldn’t have been born without his father.

Read all company updates from Leo enough to make Bella even more in a good mood.

She typed a message to Leo praising him for his hard work for the rest of the week and today.

[Bella] Leo, you did a great job!

[Bella] Remind me to double your year-end bonus!

[Bella] (Fire Emoji)

Leo’s reply text arrived just before she put her phone in her bag.

[Leo] Thank you, boss. But something is going on in the office now.

[Bella] What is it?

She looked at her phone and felt a little worried. Before she wanted to type another text, her cell phone rang.

“Tristan, Dax, I’m sorry, I should pick up this…”

“Mhm, don’t mind us,” Tristan smiled at her to ease her worries. He could see how nervous she was now, which worried him, too.

“Yes, mommy… take your time…” Dax also smiles at her.

Bella’s heart raced slightly when she saw that Dax’s smile resembled Tristan’s. She immediately stood from her seat and accepted Leo’s call in the corner.

“Did something bad happen there?” She asked in her tense voice.
