My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Tristan Won’t Allow
“Hmm, I know…” Tristan loosened his arms and tilted his head to see her face. “You want to tell her about your father?”

Bella shook her head slowly.

“Not because of that, but there’s something I’m curious about…” After thinking for a few more seconds, she finally told Tristan what her aunt had said last night.

Bella was in a dilemma because her impromptu plan was to visit East City. She knew Tristan would be worried about the idea, especially after what happened a few days ago when Bradley Caville and her uncle sent gangsters to attack her.

“I’m sorry to hear that, dear. Would you like to fly there and meet your mother in person?” Tristan asks, concerned.

Bella was stunned to hear Tristan’s words. How could he know what she was thinking?

“How do you know I want to fly there?” She slightly raises her eyebrows while smiling.

Tristan didn’t rush to answer her, instead gently rubbing her alluring cherry lips. However, when he felt the urge to kiss them, he withdrew his finger and sighed deeply.

“It’s all over your face, darling. I could clearly see it…” He lifted his lips teasingly.

Sighing deeply, Bella nodded, confirming his guess. She preferred to talk to her mother in person rather than over the phone.

But it’s likely impossible for her to fly there. She has so much to do and knows that Tristan won’t let her go.

“I do want to fly there, but I believe you will not allow me—” Bella couldn’t continue her words as Tristan’s index finger landed on her lips, as a sweet gesture to ask her to stop talking.

“My wife, I will arrange the plane; you just need to tell me when you want to fly there.”

“Seriously, you’re letting me fly there?” Bella was surprised by his generous reply. She had thought he would stop her from flying to East City.

“Of course, darling. It’s no big deal. Besides, I will fly there to accompany you, and we can return the same day. And I promise I won’t interfere in your ordeal with your family unless you ask. I’m just there to cheer you up.”

Bella gasped even more. “Hu-Hubby, you want to accompany me there and promise not to interfere in any way?”

“Of course. It’s your personal issue but also it was my duty to accompany my wife. To lift her up when she’s down, to cheer her up when she’s sad. And I also need to fly there to meet my mother-in-law.”

Tristan realizes now that this is what he should’ve done in the past.

In the past, he hadn’t put much effort into his marriage with Bella because he married her just because of his Grandpa’s arrangement.

Tristan only remembers meeting his mother-in-law twice. During those meetings, he was unsure if he had spoken to her. Now that he has reunited with Bella, everything is different from the past, and he needs to get to know her family, especially her mother.

Bella couldn’t say anything. She was pleased to hear Tristan’s sincerity now in saying he needed to see her mother. She could only hug him tightly, feeling blissful.

They spent the entire morning cuddling and discussing Bella’s plan to fly to East City.

However, Bella soon remembered Tristan’s meeting with his parents. She wondered if it hadn’t gone well because, since yesterday, he seemed to be avoiding talking about it.

Even though she was worried about the answer, Bella dared to ask to satisfy her curiosity. Without lifting her head, she asked, “Hubby, how was your meeting with your parents yesterday?”

There was silence for a moment before Tristan responded.

“Everything was normal, except my mother fainted when she found out I never actually divorced you. That we are still husband and wife all this time,” he casually said.

Bella was shocked to hear that. She immediately pulled away from Tristan to see his face more clearly.

Seeing his calm expression as if his mother’s fainting was nothing to worry about, Bella became confused.

Countless questions danced in her mind about her mother-in-law, Jessica Sinclair. Her odd mother-in-law hated her even though she always tried to act normal around her and avoid offending her.

At first, she didn’t want to ask further, but her curiosity won. After taking a deep breath, Bella finally asked.

“Did your mother hate me so much that she fainted when she found out we were together again?”

Bella tried to ask in a casual tone. Still, the wry smile slowly appearing at the corner of her lips betrayed her, making Tristan’s relaxed expression turn worried.

Tristan could see the worry and sadness flash through her eyes. He immediately said, “Darling, certainly not,” while stroking her cheek to make her feel better. “My mother was just surprised to hear we were still together,” he continued.

Bella didn’t know how to react to his answer. She could only return his smile, even though her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Somehow, Bella couldn’t shake off the feeling that Jessica must be shocked and angry to know she had returned to Tristan.

Before Bella accepted Tristan back, she had already thought about the oddity of Jessica Sinclair. That woman would hate her even though she had given birth to the Sinclair family’s successor.

Until now, she had been confused about why Jessica hated her so much, even though all of Jessica’s secrets were still safe with her. She had already told that woman clearly about it. She promised never to tell anyone, but that woman never believed her.

Sigh!

‘Should I expose her dark past and send her to her grave in anger? If that’s what she wants… I don’t mind sharing it with the world.’

…

“Wife, actually…” Tristan’s voice sounded heavy and hesitant, bringing Bella’s attention back to him. When their eyes met, he continued. “My parents want to see you…”

Bella’s eyes flashed with shock. She looked at Tristan silently, unsure how to answer or react to his words.
