My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Jealous Husband
Bella chuckled, hearing Tristan’s sentence.

While smiling lovingly at him, Bella slowly raised her hand and pinched his tall, sharp nose, teasing him.

“My jealous husband, have you ever heard the phrase ‘small talk’? I’m just making small talk with my Grandpa, alright! There’s no way I can ask him for money. Of course, I will ask you…”

Tristan’s gloomy eyes gradually brightened as if a flame had reignited within him. He was happy to hear her answer.

“I haven’t spent any of the money you sent me when we…” Bella didn’t continue her words. She skipped uttering those words again.

Bella continued, “And the money I got from selling the house is still in my bank account,” she stated nonchalantly, unaware of her husband’s reaction. “I plan to use this money to put an end to my uncle and father’s wicked actions. I hope you don’t have any objections if I use this money for that purpose.”

Once more, the light in Tristan’s eyes faded when he heard her words.

Instantly, memories from five years ago filled his mind, and he felt like a thousand nails piercing his heart.

He quietly took a deep breath before he placed his hands on Bella’s waist and pulled her closer to his waist.

For a moment, he rested his chin on her head while scolding himself in his mind because he had forgotten to discuss the financial arrangements with her. As his legal wife, Bella had the right to know and receive money from him.

“My dear wife, I don’t mind. You have the right to use the money I give you for anything…” Tristan softly said that while loosening his embrace and tilting his face slightly to get a better look at her face.

“Thank you, Hubby.” She smiled at him. He responded by lovingly rubbing her cheek.

However, a few seconds later, Tristan takes a deep breath before saying, “And I want to apologize to you…”

Tristan’s sorry tone caused Bella to look up to meet his sad gaze. “Apologized? For what?” she asked.

“I forgot to discuss my money and all my assets with you. I promise you that tomorrow, I will ask my investment manager to meet with us and discuss this matter…”

Bella chuckled inwardly, hearing his words. Somehow, she felt slightly awkward discussing this matter with him. She never thought of asking Tristan for anything because she also had money.

Tristan continued before Bella could say something, “Don’t worry, dear. I will give you all my money. You can use the money to buy whatever you want.”

Bella, “…”

“Oh please, Mr. Sinclair… Stop flattering me with your sweet words,” Bella smiled slightly while rolling her eyes. “If you give me all your money… What about you?”

“I don’t need anything else but you,” his hands wrapped around her.

Bella tries hard to hold her laugh, hearing his cheesy lines.

“Sir, did you forget you gave me your black card?” She narrowed her eyes on him. “So the money there is limited?”

“Ah—” Tristan suddenly remembered the first time they met. He gave her his Black Card to use to buy their son clothes. “You’re right…I gave you that. Don’t worry, my darling wife… The money on the card is enough to buy anything you want.”

“Thank you, Mr. Sinclair. I will use your cards wisely…” She leaned her head on his chest, feeling happy when she saw Tristan’s eyes were no longer gloomy. She could see the smile reaching his eyes.

“My sexy wife,” Tristan whispered near her ear, “Let’s go home to make a little sister for Dax…”

“W-What…” Bella let go of her hug and looked at him, shocked. She had forgotten how many times Tristan wanted to cancel his own plans.

Gosh!

While in East City.

Jacob Donovan paced back and forth in his home office, pinching his temples. He felt dizzy because of the day’s events.

He had wasted precious time waiting for Bradley’s men, who were sent to capture Bella. However, after hours of waiting, they still hadn’t provided any updates.

This situation seemed very strange to him.

How could a capable underground organization fail to capture a weak girl like Bella?

Did someone sabotage their work?

Or did Bella herself pay double what Bradley paid those gangsters!?

Jacob Donovan felt even more headaches when thinking about this matter.

Ever since he returned from Bradley’s office, now nearly hitting ten, he was still curious about why Bradley’s people were suddenly missing in action.

Jacob thought those gangsters betrayed Bradley. But Bradley doubted it; it was impossible. He insisted his people would never betray him.

What made Jacob even more stressed was that Bradley no longer cared about the good news about Bella; instead, he started worrying that those people would reveal their identities if they were caught.

“Brother, you are giving me a headache!” Lucas Donovan said, annoyed.

When Lucas saw Jacob stop walking and look at him, he continued, “Stop waiting for news from Bradley. It’s not important anymore to think about it…”

“What do you mean!?” Jacob frowned deeply, confused by his words.

“Brother Jacob, what’s Bro Lucas trying to say? You have to sit now. And let’s talk about what’s next…” Thomas Donovan, the younger, chimed in. He also started to feel dizzy, looking at his older brother walking like an ironing machine.

Jacob sneered, looking displeased as he joined them in the seating area. He sat opposite Lucas and Thomas.

He didn’t rush to say anything, but his eyes focused on Lucas briefly before he asked, “Lucas, why do you seem so happy to know Bradley’s people failed to bring Bella back to this city!? Are you trying to back out from our plan now?”

“Bro Jacob, I didn’t support this method from the start. It would be better for us to convince Father, but you insisted on following Bradley’s idea.” Lucas took a deep sigh.

“You—” Jacob couldn’t continue his words. He was annoyed, but what Lucas said was true. This method exposed them to uncalculated danger.

Lucas smiled bitterly before continuing, “Bro, I won’t back out of the plan. We owe Bradley now; forcing my stupid daughter to marry him is the only way our company will survive…”
