My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Misunderstanding
Leo can’t help but vent his sarcasm in his mind, glaring at Bella.

“Huh!?” Bella frowned. “Did I guess wrong?”

“Follow me!” Leo said before continuing to walk toward the seating area and leaving the clueless Bella in her place.

After asking Bella to sit down, Leo continued to speak. “Last night, exactly at midnight, a big box truck arrived at this building carrying sophisticated computers and other stuff for Stefan. Because his presence in this place is confidential, we couldn’t ask others to help. So, we had no choice but to help Stefan bring all his stuff to his computer room…”

Bella, “…”

‘Jeez… Why is my imagination running wild? I thought last night they were busy doing threesomes till morning. Damn!!’ Bella scolded herself while looking at Stefan’s computer room door, which was still tightly closed.

“I think he hasn’t come out of his computer room since we finished helping him set up his computer early this morning,” Leo said, following Bella’s line of sight. Now, he was worried about whether Stefan was alright or had fainted inside.

“Bella, is he okay? Let’s check…” Leo suggested.

Hearing Leo’s worry, Bella also started to worry. She immediately stood up from the couch and looked at him.

“Thanks, Leo, for helping Stefan all night. I’ll check on him now. You can continue your work; there’s no need to worry about him,” she smiled to reassure him before heading to Stefan’s computer room.

…

Bella felt even more worried when she knocked a few times but got no answer from inside.

“Stefan, may I come in?” Bella asked again while waiting a few more seconds, but she didn’t hear an answer. So, she decided to open the door. Fortunately, the door was not locked.

She saw that the room was neat and not as empty as before. There was a larger table in the center with a large desktop screen. Many screens were attached with numbers on each monitor on the wall in front of the desk. In the corner of the room, she also saw a few machines, like servers, arranged neatly.

When she entered this room, Bella felt like she was in a TV station’s news control room, which was completely different from the setting in Dax’s computer room.

Bella saw Stefan sitting in a chair similar to her son’s gaming chair. He was immersed, staring at the monitor before him. At the same time, his fingers slid quickly across the keyboard, creating subtle keyboard sounds as he typed.

“Stefan…” Bella called his name again, but Stefan didn’t hear her. She smiled bitterly, seeing the headphones covering his ears. She approached him and patted his shoulder gently.

“Oh, sister Bella, you came…” Stefan took off his headset and hung it around his neck. He leaned back in the seat casually while smiling happily at her.

But Bella ignored his smile. She narrowed her eyes at him as if scolding him through her gaze, “You better start taking care of your ears, Stefan! Or you might get deaf if you listen to music too loud.”

“Ha Ha Ha… It’s fine, sis. I’m still young…”

Bella was speechless. What did his young age have to do with damaging his ears?

She could only take a deep breath. “Don’t overwork yourself, Stefan. I hear you didn’t sleep all night?” she asked with concern.

“No worries, sis. I’m still adjusting to the time here… Besides, yesterday I slept long enough to clear my mind, and now I have so much energy to work.”

Stefan said while standing from his seat. He also asked Bella to sit in the seating area in the corner near the huge glass window while talking.

Bella sat opposite him.

“Glad to hear that, bro. Oh, right…” Bella looked around the room and saw an empty spot in the corner near the seating area. “Is there anything else you need here? I mean, a coffee maker or fridge to keep your drinks or food?” she asked.

Stefan also looked at the empty spot where he could place those items. He looked at Bella again and nodded. “Yeah, I need that. Going to the kitchen when I’m busy would be troublesome. So, having a coffee maker and fridge will greatly help me.”

“Cool. I will ask someone to prepare it for you. And about your expenses for buying all this stuff,” Bella pointed at his computer and servers. “I will transfer it to your bank. You just need to tell me how much you spent.”

Stefan immediately shook his head, rejecting her offer. He didn’t need Bella’s money. He had come here to help her as a form of gratitude, to repay her kindness for what she had done in the past.

He would never forget those times when others and even his own family didn’t believe him. Bella was there, offering him a job and helping him.

Stefan had always greatly admired and respected her. He would never take advantage of her; instead, he wanted to help her in any way he could.

However, she had always rejected his offers. When she suddenly asked him to temporarily move to this country to help her, he didn’t hesitate to agree.

Bella frowned, hearing Stefan’s rejection. Did Jack already give him some money? She couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you reject me?”

“Sis, consider it a welcome gift from me because you finally returned to the company.” He smiled widely when he saw her roll her eyes.

“Oh, come on, Stefan… What’s the logic in that? This is my company. You don’t have to give me a welcome gift because I’m back.” Bella chuckled. She knew Stefan had shares in the company, but not many.

“Ha ha ha… then just think of this as a gift for my lovely nephew Daxton. He can use all this stuff when I return to New York.”

Bella felt her heart warm when she heard that. She still accepted his offer even though she didn’t need any of that because Tristan could buy their son an advanced computer, too.
