My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Let Me Sleep In Your Bed
That afternoon, after lunch, they finally set sail.

The sky was clear. Only a few clouds could be seen as far as Bella’s eyes could see. The sea was calm, and the wind was gentle as their yacht cruised toward the fishing spot.

Bella was alone, sitting on the outdoor couch on the main deck, enjoying the view behind her sunglasses.

Not long after, Bella’s cell phone vibrated.

She was stunned that she could still receive a signal in this place. She immediately checked her cell phone and was surprised that Leo had texted her.

[Leo: ] Check the trending news!

Since morning, Bella had been busy in the kitchen and didn’t have much time to see what was happening on the internet.

“They already held a press conference?” Bella muttered softly while checking the trending news on entertainment sites.

The title above caught Bella’s attention.

“Stellar Entertainment: We Will Meet Our Enemy At The Court!”

The article’s content reports the results of a press conference with the public relations director of Stellar Entertainment, Who announced the identity of their new CEO.

The PR Director also denied A-Netz’s accusations directed at their company. He announced that he would take legal action against all parties who spread slander, including journalists, news sites, and television.

The articles immediately became the number one trending topic. This made Bella happy because their press conference could attract many people to read them.

However, when Bella read A-Netz’s comments, she immediately felt bitter. Almost everyone who commented did not believe their intention to take legal action. They wrote even more negatively about the company and accused Stellar Entertainment of being an arrogant company.

“What a bunch of idiots. Why do they never think before using their fingers? Gosh! You guys wait… when the police come to detain you, don’t cry and beg for forgiveness because I will never grace you!”

While Bella was still busy reading news on the internet about her company, she didn’t notice Tristan walking towards her.

After the yacht left, Tristan got busy on the bridge accompanying Dax. He didn’t realize that Bella was no longer with them. When he looked for her, he saw her alone in this place.

He stood behind her for a while, watching as she was busy reading something on her cell phone.

“What are you reading? Why do you look so lost that you don’t notice me?” Tristan asked while sitting right beside her. He casually placed his hand around her waist and pulled her closer, surprising her.

Bella turned to see him after placing her cell phone in her bag. She looked around but did not see her son with him. “Where is Dax?”

Tristan leaned closer and whispered close to her ear, “Dax is inside with Geoffrey watching on the bridge. What are you doing here alone?” he asked.

She wasn’t listening to his words because she was still shocked when she could feel his warm breath brushing her skin, sending shivers down her spine.

When Tristan didn’t hear her answer, he tilted his head to look at her face. He was surprised to see her face red.

“Are you okay?” He asked in worry.

Bella was grateful she wore sunglasses to hide her shy gaze while talking to him.

“I can’t stay inside for too long. When I’m in a small room, I feel dizzy. I need to be in a spacious place to see the sea directly and feel the breeze to make me comfortable,” Bella explained.

This is one reason she doesn’t like to ride a boat or anything related to the sea, but this time, she couldn’t refuse Dax’s request.

“Oh, are you seasick?” Tristan was surprised to learn about this. He thought she would be okay because his yacht was quite big—four decks with plenty of space for entertainment. The waves wouldn’t be felt as much because they are not in the open sea, but still, she feels seasick.

“Well, only if I’m in the room. I will be fine here…” Bella answered with a faint smile.

“I’m sorry, Bella. If I had known, I would not have forced you to come with us,” Tristan says, feeling bad.

“Oh, it’s fine.” Bella turns to see the sea again, trying to distract him; she doesn’t want to make him feel bad. “Is it still far from your fishing spot!?”

Even though Bella didn’t like sailing like this, she was also curious to see them. She had been looking forward to this since Dax often talked about his fishing experiences.

Tristan looked ahead before he answered her, “Looks like we’ll be there soon. If the boat stops, can you go inside? You can take a rest in the bedroom…”

“Hmm, I guess… I could.” Bella faintly smiled.

“So, this is your first time on a small yacht like this?”

“Yeah. I got seasick on a cruise ship. It happened many years ago when I was still studying in the US… it was the first and last time I went on a ship.”

Bella inwardly sighed, feeling embarrassed to tell Tristan about that.

“Tristan, please don’t tell anyone… Especially Dax.”

“Haha, I will not. I will keep this to myself. But you know what? I just wanted to take you on a cruise with Dax. But since you’re seasick, maybe we need to find another place to go on holiday. That is if you don’t mind.”

“Hmm, that sounds terrific. I will be looking forward to it.” She shyly answers him.

…

Not long after, the ship finally stopped. Later, Dax and the others appeared on the deck to join them.

Bella no longer feels seasick when the ship stops and sees Dax running towards her.

“Mommy, let’s go downstairs. We can fish from the stern deck,” he said enthusiastically.

Bella nods at her son.

“Alright, Buddy, let’s go…” Tristan stood from his seat and took Dax’s hand. Before he walks, he offers his other hand to Bella.

Bella smiled at Tristan before taking his hand and following them to the lower deck. Holding his hand once again made her heart race; she tried to hide her redness, but Tristan, who was looking at her, smiled.

He leaned closer to her and whispered, “What are you thinking? Why are you blushing again?”

Bella, “…”

“I hope you let me sleep on the bed tonight, Ms. Sinclair.”

She glared at him while trying to push away her sultry thoughts.
