My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Family Matter
Hearing about his son, Isaac suddenly remembered the phone call he had received last night from Bella’s father.

This made him curious because they rarely called him. Moreover, they said a significant family matter needed his help to resolve.

Sigh!

What a bunch of foolish, ignorant kids. They thought he was so ancient they could fool him easily.

Isaac knew all his children inside and out and all too well. They were all too greedy for money and power. He knew exactly what they wanted him to resolve; it must be company matters, the Donovan Group.

He was so exhausted thinking about keeping the Donovan Group growing that he stepped down from company management many years ago. And, because he didn’t want his children to fight over his property, he divided one-third of his wealth among his children evenly even though he was still healthy and vigorous.

The remaining two-thirds are a few company shares and properties he keeps for one person he most cares for and admires. When he dies, all those remaining will go to Bella and Dax. He will never give anything more to his children.

However, even though Isaac wanted to ignore his children and the company matter, this question, “What matters make them dare to call me?” still lingers in his mind.

‘Should I return to East City?’ Isaac feels tempted to return a few days to check.

…

“Ha ha ha… I knew that. You must be having a hard time caring for all your sons, right?”

Lewis remained silent.

“It’s okay, my friend. We’re older now. We don’t need to interfere in their affairs. Let’s just enjoy the rest of our lives,” Lewis said when he saw Isaac quiet.

Lewis Sinclair could guess what was distracting his best friend now because he felt the same way. He only has one son, William Sinclair, but unfortunately, his son loves his wife so much that he only obeys what his wife wants.

Isaac didn’t bother responding to Lewis’s words. He was still drawn to what his son, Lucas, told him on the phone. The more he thought about it, the more curious he became about what exactly happened there.

…

Before long,

Bella and the others finally joined the elders. She sat across from them.

She was curious and couldn’t wait to ask, “Grandfather, why did you decide to return to the Capital today?” she saw them in return before continuing her words. “Didn’t we already plan to get back together next Sunday?”

Isaac answered before Lewis could say something.

“My dear Bella, you and Tristan have just reunited. You need to spend more time with him, right? You are both still young, and you need more time alone…” Isaac clears his throat before continuing. “Well, you know what I mean, right?” he smiles when he sees his granddaughter’s cheeks slowly redden.

Bella wanted to remind her Grandpa that Dax was with them. But before she could say anything, her Grandpa continued his words.

“Besides, sleeping in a new place is difficult for older people like us. We better return to the capital and rest in our house.”

Bella was rendered speechless.

“Jeez! Grandpa… Is there a better reason than that?” Bella wanted to ask but held it in when she saw Lewis Sinclair wishing to say something.

“Yes, yes… what Isaac said is true. We old people need to sleep in our beds.” Lewis smiled at Bella and turned his gaze to Tristan.

“You better take care of Bella and Dax,” Lewis’s voice turns firm. “And there’s no need to think about work too much. You also need a holiday!”

Tristan chuckled. He knew what his Grandpa was trying to say. He never took a vacation and worked almost daily, especially after Bella left. During that time, he buried himself in the office.

“No worries, Grandpa. I will…”

“Good. Good…” Lewis is happy to see his grandson finally find his happiness with Bella. But later, something crosses his mind. He narrowed his eyes on Tristan.

“Are you both going to stay in Little Heaven?”

Lewis wishes they would return to their old house near his residence. It would make it easier for him to visit Dax because he would only need a five-minute car ride, whereas driving to Little Heaven would take forty minutes.

However, what Old Sinclair wanted failed when Tristan answered, “Yes, we will stay in Little Heaven. Security at the place is excellent. Besides, Grandpa Isaac’s house is there, so Dax could meet his Great-grandpa and play with him every day…” Tristan said casually, but Lewis’s expression instantly turned ugly when he heard that.

Bella, who saw Lewis, immediately felt sorry. She turned to see Tristan as if she wanted to scold him through her gaze.

Curious to see her annoyed gaze, Tristan drew closer and whispered, “Why does my pretty wife look angry?”

Bella rolled her eyes.

“Grandpa Lewis is also Dax’s great-grandfather. Why did you say those words? He must be sad right now,” She couldn’t believe this man had forgotten his own flesh and blood grandfather.

Suddenly, Tristan was stunned. He completely forgot about that. He clears his throat while turning to see his Grandpa.

“Grandpa, you can stay at our house to visit Dax. I will ask Geoffrey to provide a room for you.”

Suddenly, the light in Lewis Sinclair’s eyes beamed. He was happy to hear that—this was what he really wanted to hear.

Several minutes passed, and they were still chatting and laughing before Isaac and Lewis finally left.

While in the Donovan Group head office,

Lucas sat opposite his older brother, Jacob Donovan, the current CEO of the Donovan Group.

“Are you sure Father will return home?” Jacob asked.

“Yes. I have just received a text from Nick. He informed me they would fly here tomorrow,” Lucas explained.

“Perfect!” Jacob Donovan slowly smiled. “Only if Father were here could we approach your good-for-nothing daughter.”

Lucas Donovan could only nod.

“How about her office? Did you find where she works?” Lucas asked, curious to know.

“I haven’t found the details about her job there. But my people only said Bella visited the Quantum Capital building often, so I believe she works there.”

Lucas took a deep sigh. He looked at his older brother before saying, annoyed, “I never understand her. Why does she insist on working again? She only needs to marry my friend Bradley, and everything will be alright!”

“Yeah, she is so stubborn and stupid!” Jacob sneered.
