My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Worry About His Mommy (1)
Hearing his earnest offer, Bella immediately said, “No thanks…” She didn’t want Tristan involved in her office matter.

“Bella, are you sure?” Tristan asked. He wanted to help her. “I can see what happened between your company and that woman on the internet. And the more I read the news, the angrier I become.” He paused to take a deep breath before continuing. “You know someone paid those people to ruin your company, right?”

Bella nods before responding, “Thank you for your concern, Tristan. But my team will take care of everything.” She tries to avoid further conversation about her office matter.

Yesterday, Bella finished all her business with Celebes Energy. What is pending now is to take care of corrupt officials messing with the company. She was in no rush to take care of them because Stefan, her hacker, had not yet provided a detailed report.

She is also preparing to take action against Laura Kiels. They have obtained the identities of many perpetrators who damaged Stellar Entertainment’s name on the internet, and several journalists created fake news about Stellar Entertainment.

They will file a lawsuit today. After that, they will finally make an official statement.

Bella has asked Stefan to slowly release on the internet Laura Kiels’ evil actions, starting with cases of drunk driving and her hobbies to the use of illegal drugs. Besides that, her rude personality towards her staff and many more. News about her will soon become a trending topic in this country.

Because there was no more work here, Bella asked Leo and Sam to return to the capital.

…

“Okay, but if you need my help, please talk to me, Bella. Please let me know. I mean it…” Tristan stated.

“Sure, Tristan…” Bella responds to him with a smile. She feels grateful to hear someone standing behind her to help.

After Tristan saw her relax and slowly close her eyes, he lay down next to her, causing Bella to open her eyes again and squint at him as if to tell him, “Don’t break your promise, Mr. Tristan Sinclair.”

Tristan chuckled when he saw her adorable-annoyed expression. He ignored her stern warning and helped her adjust her blanket. Then, he relaxed his back, feeling satisfied that Bella didn’t kick him off the bed.

After a few minutes, Tristan could still feel Bella hadn’t slept, and she seemed alert. A faint smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips.

“Trust me, Bella. I won’t do anything to you. You can rest assured…” He said without looking at her. He only looked at the ceiling. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Bella smiled silently when she saw Tristan finally fall asleep again. She knew he couldn’t sleep well last night because she saw him sleeping on the sofa in an uncomfortable position.

She yawned. Slowly, she feels sleepy again. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep more.

After thirty minutes, Tristan glanced at Bella.

Tristan smiled when he saw her sleeping with her face facing him. Seeing how calm and beautiful her face looked while sleeping was enough to make his hand slowly rise to touch her flushed cheek.

However, when Tristan was about to touch Bella’s cheek, a faint knock on the door stopped him.

He glanced at the door with a frown on his face, worried that Bella would hear the knock.

Feeling displeased that someone dared to wake them up so early in the morning, he immediately stood up from the bed, wanting to know who the person was. He marched to the door with a stern expression.

However, as the door opened, Tristan’s expression gradually changed to joy when he saw Dax smile at him, “Good morning, Dad…”

Tristan lowered his head to meet his son’s gaze and smiled, looking at him still in his pajamas.

“Good morning, buddy. Why do you wake up so early? You didn’t have a workout today, right?”

Tristan had heard from Geoffrey these two days that Dax had no training to let him rest before they returned to the capital on Sunday.

“Yes, Dad. But I’m hungry…” Dax said while trying to peek into the room, looking for his mother.

It’s still early for breakfast. They usually prepare breakfast at seven in the morning. Now it is thirty minutes earlier than seven.

“Do you want to go down now? We can ask the chef to prepare your breakfast earlier…” Tristan offered. When he saw Dax’s curious gaze to look inside and ignored his words, he smiled.

“Dad, why is mom still sleeping? I want to see her…” Dax asked worriedly when he saw his mother still asleep under the blanket.

Tristan didn’t answer. He carried Dax to their room and whispered, “Mom exhausted, so I let her sleep a little longer before we go down for breakfast.”

He places Dax sitting on the edge of the bed.

Dax turned to see his mother. After a while, he looked at his father with his usual deadpan expression.

Meanwhile, Bella faintly heard Dax’s voice. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled, looking at her son in their room. Just before she wanted to call Dax, she heard their talk. She thought better of it, curious to listen to what they discussed.

“Dad, why do you make my mother tired all night?” Dax’s voice sounded displeased with his father.

Tristan silently gulped, hearing his sudden question. Instantly, he could feel his blood running cold.

‘Is he thinking what I’m thinking…’ Tristan wondered.

How could this four-year-old kid know such a thing?

Tristan cleared his throat as he looked into his son’s eyes, “Dax, what were you thinking? Why do you think I made your mother tired?” he asked carefully.

“You chat with her a lot all night, right? That’s why my Mommy is still sleeping now…” Dax took a deep breath and crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for his father to answer.

Tristan is relieved when he hears Dax’s words.

He was frightened that his four-year-old son would think he was doing intimate work that exhausted his mother.

“I’m sorry, buddy. Daddy will not do that again,” Tristan said, gently patting his back.
