My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Waiting For Her To Talk
‘Dawson Group, you were making a terrible move. You choose to become my enemy…’

Tristan took out his cell phone again and sent several messages to Max, asking him to investigate the company in detail.

He needs to know the complete details of his enemy before he acts.

Not long after, the car finally stopped. At the same time, Bella, who had been asleep for a few minutes, moved slightly and opened her eyes.

She smiled at Tristan while sitting straight and looking around.

“Oh, this is the restaurant we visit with Dax, right?”

“Yes. Let’s go…” Tristan helped her sit in her seat before he stepped out of the car and ran to Bella’s side to open the door for her.

The food Tristan ordered was already arranged on the table when they entered the VIP room.

Tristan let Bella sit and urged her to eat. Seeing how tempting she looked while devouring her food, he decided to eat again to accompany her.

While eating, Tristan started to wonder what had happened and how all seven gangsters were lying on the ground when he arrived.

But, even though he was curious about the reason those people wanted to kidnap her, he wouldn’t ask now. He would wait for her to finish and fill her hungry stomach.

….

Seeing how quickly Bella finished her main dish made Tristan worried.

“My darling wife, eat slowly…” he smiled when she looked into his eyes. “No one will steal yours…”

Bella didn’t answer him; she rolled her eyes and continued eating. But this time, she slowed down and tried to enjoy her food.

She didn’t know why, but after fighting the gangsters, Bella felt like her energy was running out. She needed to eat a lot now to regain her power.

“Would you like roast beef or some other soup?” Tristan offered as he watched her finish her beef roast in a few chews. “Or do you want Japanese food? They can make it for you if you want…”

Even though it sounded tempting, Bella shook her head slowly. The food on the table was more than enough for her.

“No, thank you…”

Later,

Tristan saw that Bella had finally finished eating her main dish and was enjoying two scoops of vanilla ice cream with fine nuts sprinkled on top.

“Do you need more? Let me call the waitress…” He was happy to see her eating so much; she looked like their son, Dax.

“No need. I’m already full. My belly will explode if I continue to eat something,” she said, about to wipe the corner of her lips with a napkin.

But before she could do that, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Tristan stand from his seat and lean forward toward her.

Her heart raced again when she saw his face getting closer, and in a blink, she felt his warm lips touched hers. She could feel her blood rush when she felt his warm tongue gently licking her lips as if to remove the remaining ice cream.

When his lips parted from hers, she could see his eyes beaming like someone had lit a bonfire, and his smile widened like spring came after a long winter. Gosh!

Bella felt her cheek getting warm and her heart beating loudly. She lowered her eyes and distracted her mind with the red velvet cake on the table.

However, after eating two bites, her hand hung in the air when she heard him ask.

“My pretty wife, since when did you learn Krav Maga? Who taught you?”

Bella slowly lifted her face to meet his curious gaze, instantly raising many questions in her mind.

‘So he saw me fighting?’ She didn’t know why but felt embarrassed to show him her fighting ability.

She put the spoon on the plate before she answered. “After I gave birth to Dax, I started exercising to lose weight, but after a few months, I met a retired soldier who lived near my property. He offered to teach me this martial art for self-defense…”

Bella informed Tristan that her master had taught her various skills. She started with the basics to improve her strength and agility.

Later, her master trained her in one-on-one combat and how to exchange blows during a fight. Once she had mastered these techniques, her master taught her how to use a gun and how to disarm any opponent who had a weapon if one day she met danger.

“It was fun… I enjoyed the process so much. I achieved my target to lose weight and became a martial arts expert,” Bella’s eyes sparkled with joy, remembering her martial arts Master and his wife. She already considered them part of her family.

She continued, “I never knew the name of this martial art before. But recently, before I returned to this country, my master told me that this is actually Krav Maga… a fighting skill usually learned by soldiers in their countries.”

“No wonder you look like an expert,” Tristan felt proud of her.

Bella silently gulped. Her eyes blinked several times, and she looked at Tristan. “H-Husband… did you see me shoot them? I mean, since when did you get there?”

She was worried that Tristan would see her beat those people. She felt embarrassed.

“No, I didn’t see you,” Tristan told her. “Sam came first and told me how you beat four people so quickly.” He felt amused as he watched her shyness. “I only saw the way you held the gun. Your posture is very confident. You don’t look like someone just learning to use it, but you look like a pro…”

Bella smiled faintly at his praise.

“I never imagined I could fight so effectively against someone holding a gun or sharp weapon while using the knowledge I had learned to defend myself,” Bella said with a deep sigh, remembering what happened in the park.

“I felt like I had an adrenaline rush when I was in that situation… but… after I saw you, I suddenly felt nervous and like all my energy had run out.” She smiled at Tristan.

Tristan was silent momentarily, but his eyes were still fixed on Bella. He appeared to be deep in thought.
