My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Worry About His Mommy (2)
There was silence for a moment before Dax continued what was on his mind.

“Dad, I heard from Uncle Sam that my mommy was exhausted from work. That’s why she didn’t go to her last meeting yesterday. Is that true?” His round eyes blink several times as he looks at Tristan.

Tristan was stunned to hear that Dax knew about his mother’s condition.

“Your mother is indeed tired, but don’t worry, she’s fine now. She just needs enough good sleep.”

Tristan couldn’t tell Dax that Bella was sick yesterday and had to visit the hospital. He didn’t want Dax to worry too much.

However, worry still flashed through Dax’s gaze before he said, “Dad, my mom never worked when we were in Sweden. She spent all her time at home with me. But, when she got here, she went to her office almost every day and came home before evening…”

Another long and deep sigh echoed in the room.

“I feel sorry for Mommy. She had to work very hard since returning to this country. I wish she could stay home with me more.”

Not only does Dax feel worried about Bella’s condition, but Tristan does too. Last night, when they talked, he asked her to stop working and enjoy her day at home with their son. But Bella refused. She said she wanted to pursue her career. She didn’t want to return to her past self and become a full-time housewife.

And,

Every time Bella brought memories of their past, Tristan didn’t have a chance to refute her. He could only accept her decision.

However, Tristan had a plan. He would meet Jack Foster and ask him to lessen Bella’s responsibility in Quantum Capital. Only this would make Bella slow down.

…

Bella secretly overhears their conversation. She was stunned to hear Dax express his concern.

Without her realizing it, her eyes felt blurry. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions. She was sad because she had to work and leave her son at home. She also felt her heart warm because Dax was concerned about her condition. Her son is so adorable.

Bella tries hard to calm her emotions and not cry. Afraid these two men will worry even more about her.

“Okay, little buddy, let’s go downstairs, let mommy sleep a little longer…” said Tristan as he stood up from the bed and stretched his hand to Dax. He responded to his father with a quick nod and took his hand.

However, just before they left the bed, Bella’s voice suddenly stopped them. “Dax, Tristan, please wait. Don’t leave me alone…” she said as she got out of bed.

Tristan and Dax’s steps halted. In a hurry, they turned back and saw Bella smiling at them, then casually, she continued fixing the bed.

“Mo-Mommy, you are awake?”

Dax releases his hand from Tristan and runs after Bella.

Bella smiled as she hugged him.

After Bella released her embrace, she was stunned when she saw worry flash across his gaze.

Knowing what he was worried about, Bella no longer asked any further. She lowered her head and spoke softly to him, “Baby, could you wait for me on the couch? I will clean up fast before we go down for breakfast.”

“Hmm…” Dax nodded and obediently walked to the seating area in the corner.

Tristan, who sees Bella talking to Dax and sees her loving gaze on their son, feels even more in love with her. He can’t help but follow her to the bathroom.

Bella was stunned. She looked at Tristan entering the bathroom when she was about to brush her teeth.

“What are you doing, Tristan?” Bella frowned, looking at him.

However, Tristan didn’t answer her. He quickly took his toothbrush. But before he brushed his teeth, he looked at her, saying, “I’m sorry, we have to hurry, Bella. You might not hear, but Dax said he was starving…”

Tristan immediately brushed his teeth, ignoring Bella’s displeased look. Sharing a bathroom with her was the only way he could save time.

Bella was rendered speechless hearing such an excuse. She didn’t say anything again and also did the same, brushing her teeth and washing her face.

….

When the three arrived on the first floor, Bella was surprised to see her grandfather and Lewis, who were already dressed neatly and looked like they were going somewhere.

They were so busy chatting that they didn’t realize they were coming down the stairs. When Bella wanted to approach them and ask, she saw Nick and Alan pushing suitcases towards the main door.

Bella looked at Tristan standing beside her, “Where are they going?” she asked, confused.

“Back to the capital.”

Bella was stunned. They were supposed to go home together on Sunday, but now they decided to go home early.

“What? Why?”

Tristan knows the reason. His grandfather deliberately returned to the capital early so his mother wouldn’t send people to this beach house to check.

But Tristan couldn’t possibly say that to Bella. He just smiled at her.

“We will ask them later. Let’s have breakfast first…” Tristan reminds Bella about Dax.

“Maybe they haven’t had breakfast? Let’s invite them to join us…”

Before Tristan could answer, Geoffrey appeared from the dining room, “Master, Young Madam, the elders have had breakfast…”

“Oh, alright…” Bella responds to Geoffrey. She sets aside her curiosity and doesn’t ask anything else as she follows Tristan to the dining room.

“Now tell me, why are you forcing me to return to the capital a day earlier?” Isaac narrowed his eyes at Lewis. He still didn’t understand why his best friend rushed them to return.

Isaac took a deep breath before saying, “My son and daughter-in-law think I’m sick. That’s why they want to come to check on my condition in this beach house…”

Instantly, Isaac’s face hardened upon hearing that. He felt displeased. “Why can’t you handle them?” Isaac asked, annoyed.

Lewis chuckled. He didn’t bother answering Isaac; instead, he asked, “Can you handle your sons, too? They always bully my granddaughter-in-law.”

Hearing about his son, Isaac suddenly remembered the phone call he had received last night from Bella’s father.
