My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Mother And Daughter Heartbreaking Moment (3)
“Mom, please stop crying. You look ugly with those tears,” Bella chuckled when she saw her mother nod while wiping the tears from her cheeks.

“Alright, alright. I’ll stop,” Natalie said, her slight smile resembling a grin. “But only if you promise to tell me everything about your son and husband…”

“Sure, Mom. You can ask me anything. I will answer you.” Bella was excited to share about her life recently.

Natalie fell silent for a moment. Numerous questions suddenly flooded her mind. However, she wanted to know most about when her daughter remarried and who her husband was.

She looked at her daughter lovingly, asking, “Bella, when did you remarry? And who is the lucky man who finally won your heart again?”

“Mom, I’ve only been married once, and it was to the same person,” Bella said, smiling as she saw her mother’s eyes widen in shock. Before her mother could respond, Bella continued, “I’m still married to Tristan Sinclair, and our son Dax is our child.”

It took Natalie a few more seconds to understand Bella’s words. She was utterly surprised to learn that her daughter was still Tristan Sinclair’s wife.

However, her mind refused to believe it because what had happened in the past was confirmed—they were divorced. Because Tristan decided to divorce Bella, the Sinclair Group severed ties with the Donovan Group.

Natalie vividly remembered her ex-in-law, the arrogant Jessica Sinclair, calling to boast about her son’s divorce and ousting Bella from the Sinclair family.

At that time, Natalie felt like she was living in hell. Her husband, Lucas, became more violent toward her. Every night, when he returned home drunk, he would torture her.

She endured the suffering for several months until, finally, Lucas started to calm down and leave her alone—even though the torture hadn’t really ended.

‘But why now does Bella claim she is still married to Tristan?’

Natalie narrowed her eyes, looking at Bella and trying to see through her daughter’s eyes if what she said was real.

Or if she was imagining things now that her death was near.

After a few more seconds, Natalie finally expressed her thoughts.

“Is this the effect of my third-stage cancer?” Natalie asked. However, she felt strange hearing her own words. It sounded scary.

“Huh!? What do you mean, Mom?” Hearing her mother’s words, Bella began to feel afraid. Her worry deepened when she saw her mother’s expression, which looked as frightened as before.

“I mean, when death approaches, God will give humans a blessing to let them hear something they want to hear or foresee the future that normal humans can’t,” Natalie said seriously.

“It’s like, I really want to hear that your marriage with Tristan is still fine, and now I hear it. You must understand what I mean, right?” Natalie ended her words with mixed emotions.

Now, she looked at her daughter, waiting for her to say something. However, she narrowed her eyes when she saw Bella stifling a laugh.

“Pft!” Bella tried to hold back her laughter when she heard her mother’s words.

‘Gosh, Mother! How could you have a wild thought like that!?’

“Why do you laugh, Bella?”

After trying to suppress her laugh, Bella cleared her throat a few times before answering her mother.

“No, Mom. You’re mistaken. You are not dying now. And you won’t get any privilege from God either, as you said before.”

Natalie frowned.

“Really? So, what you said is true? You are still married to Tristan Sinclair?” Natalie blinked several times as her heart quickened, her sudden excitement becoming more apparent.

“Yes, yes, I’m still married to Tristan Sinclair. OK, Mom, I won’t tell you how we got back together. It’s a long story. But I promise you I will tell you later. For now, you only need to focus on your health and know that Tristan and I live happily in the capital with my son, Daxton, and Grandpa.”

Natalie’s smile instantly bloomed, and her eyes were blurry. This time, she cried not because she was so sad about her miserable life but because she was too happy to hear that Bella was indeed still married to Tristan Sinclair.

At this moment, she didn’t want to hear anything else but this: her daughter was still happy with her life. That’s the important thing for now.

“Bella, my daughter, you will never know how happy I am to hear that you are still married to Tristan and have a son.” She paused to let her happy tears roll down her cheeks before continuing, “Now, I feel I can die in peace—”

“Oh, please, Mother, stop saying those words! You won’t die now. You will live a hundred years to accompany me. So stop saying those jinxed words. Huh!?”

“Hahaha, OK, OK, I will,” Natalie wiped her tears while grinning.

While Bella chatted with her mother in another room near Natalie’s VIP room, Dylan and Bryan sat at the dining table, intensely facing a laptop screen.

Dylan and Bryan stared at their Boss in the capital, who looked stressed while venting his frustration to them.

They had been on a video call for almost two hours, and their Boss’s aura was still the same. He looked miserable, his expression dark, as if a dark cloud hung over him.

“B-Boss, don’t be angry. Your wife hasn’t forgotten you. She’s only too busy with her mother and doesn’t have time to contact you,” Dylan tried to persuade Tristan.

“Yes, Boss. I’m confident your wife will call you in a minute…” Bryan chimed in.

Dylan and Bryan repeatedly repeated those words to calm their Boss’s nerves. However, their efforts seemed futile.

Tristan frowned, looking at Bryan and Dylan in return. His gaze was scary as if he wanted to send them straight into their coffin. They both gulped, waiting for him to say something.

“It’s almost ten, and my wife hasn’t contacted me yet. That’s not like her. At least not lately.” Tristan sighed deeply. “Can you guys go to her mother’s room and check whether she’s alright?”

He’d been waiting for Bella to call or text him, but she hadn’t. She hadn’t even read the text he sent her since they arrived in East City.

This worried him; something might have happened to her. If it weren’t for Dax, he might have flown to meet her and be by her side by now.
