My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 309

Chapter 309: This is How The Pregnancy Rumors Started
“I’m sorry if I hurt you, my love. I was too selfish to think about myself because I’d been waiting for this opportunity for years. Alright, we’ll do it again when you feel better.”

Tristan kissed her forehead gently and hugged her.

“It’s fine,” Bella felt bad hearing his words. She suddenly remembered what Geoffrey had told her: that Tristan had no desire to look for another woman before she returned and that all the people around Tristan thought he might become a monk if he continued to stay away from women.

Tristan sighed, hearing her words. He still blames himself because he forgets about her weak state. How stupid.

When Bella saw Tristan’s expression turn gloomy, she hurriedly continued, trying to lift his mood.

“Hubby, even though I feel my leg sore and tired, I also enjoyed it,” Bella said. She felt relieved when she saw his smile bloom.

Instantly, Tristan’s eyes beamed when he heard his wife enjoy their lovemaking. But his happiness seemed to betray his clear mind; his hand started to touch her stomach, slowly climbing up to her not-too-big breasts, fit to his palm.

“Tr-Tristan,ummhh…” Bella said, moaning as she felt his warm hand knead her breasts. Her body arched as his thumb played with her erect nipple. “W-What are you doing, Tristan!? I thought you said you feel sorry asking for more!?” she asked, trying to stop him.

“Wife, let’s do it again—”

Gosh!

‘Mr. Sinclair, you are so shameless.’ She vents her frustration in her mind.

Before Bella could scold him, a soft knock suddenly came from the door. Stop Tristan from touching her.

They both looked at the door, curious.

Later, Bella shifted her gaze to Tristan.

“Is it Dax?” she whispered, her worried tone failing to hide her fear. They were still naked, with their clothes scattered on the floor. What would their son think if he saw them now?

“Who is it!?” Tristan asked calmly, but his tone was clear; he didn’t like being disturbed now.

“Master, it’s me, Geoffrey. I apologize if this call disturbed you most unpleasantly. But I need to inform you that lunch… is ready…and everyone…everyone is already waiting for you and the young madam to join—”

Geoffrey’s polite voice relieved Bella. Without waiting for Tristan to respond, she got out of bed, fully naked, and limped to the bathroom, ignoring the pain around her inside thighs.

“Okay, Geoffrey. Thank you for letting me know,” Tristan responded while standing from the bed. He felt amused looking at his cute naked wife running like a little rabbit. “My wife and I will join later. Please ask them to start first,” he said while walking to the bathroom.

Silence hung in the air as Geoffrey heard his master’s response. Countless questions danced in his mind.

‘Why did he ask the others to eat first?’

‘Why? Why does Master Tristan need more time when his mother-in-law is here?’

‘Did they need more time to prepare?’

‘Were they still doing something—’

Suddenly, Geoffrey’s face turned red when he realized a naughty thought. But then, a slight relief was also evident on his face.

Geoffrey cleared his throat silently before responding.

“Yes, master. I will—”

At the same time, on the first floor.

“Where are Tristan and Bella?” Lewis Sinclair asked as soon as he saw Geoffrey enter the dining room. Alone.

“How can Bella and Tristan be late for lunch when this is Natalie’s first time joining us?” Isaac Donovan chimed in, shaking his head slowly, disappointed in them.

Geoffrey felt even more tense now that all eyes were on him. With tension, he approached Lewis Sinclair.

He leaned in slightly, bringing his head closer to Lewis before whispering in his low tone, “Old Master, it seems that Master Tristan and Young Madam are trying to give Young Master Dax a little sister. They will be a few minutes late. Master Tristan asked me to inform you to start lunch without them.”

Geoffrey’s words conveyed relief as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders to inform his old master of this big news.

Annoyed that his grandson was impolite for making his mother-in-law wait, Lewis Sinclair slowly smiled when he heard Geoffrey’s explanation.

“What’s wrong, Lewis? What’s with the sudden smile?” Isaac asked, increasingly curious to see Lewis smiling. The look in his best friend’s eyes clearly showed that he was happy.

Lewis didn’t answer Isaac but turned to Geoffrey and gestured for him to explain to Isaac.

A few moments later, Isaac Donovan wore the same expression as Lewis Sinclair. He laughed happily while nodding in satisfaction, knowing what was happening upstairs. The thought of welcoming another great-grandchild swelled his heart.

“Gramps? Why are you both laughing in happiness? Is something good happening with my mommy and daddy upstairs?”

Dax’s eyes narrowed with curiosity and excitement as he looked at his two great-grandfathers.

“Ha ha ha, yes, yes, dear Dax,” Lewis Sinclair’s laugh boomed in the room, surprising everyone. “You will hear the good news later.”

Isaac Donovan cleared his throat to distract Lewis, afraid his shameless old friend would say something Dax shouldn’t hear.

“All right, all right, let’s eat first. My dear Natalie, you eat first. Bella and Tristan will join us soon,” Isaac said, then looked at Dax. “You too, Dax. Eat more; you need to grow taller quickly. And you need to be stronger, too, given what’s coming.”

Dax, “…”

He was even more confused.

When everyone discussed Tristan and Bella’s absence, Bella, who had changed her clothes and tidied up her appearance, struggled to leave the room. She felt aching in her thigh.

Standing near the door waiting for Bella, Tristan felt concerned and guilty when he saw her walking like a snail. Every time she took a step, her eyebrows knitted together as if she was in pain.

“My darling wife, I’m really sorry if it hurt you like this—”

Tristan’s sadness was apparent in his tone. He saw she didn’t utter anything, only tried to smile at him, but her smile failed to reach her eyes, making him feel even more guilty.
