My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 34

Finally, She Could Tell Him About Dax
‘This is the right time to tell her grandpa about her son,” Bella thought while she looked at the door to ensure it was closed tightly so no one would overhear what she was about to say.

“There’s something I want to tell you, Grandpa.”

“Yes, but let’s move to the seating area. Sitting here for too long makes me feel like I’m really a sick patient,” Old Donovan chuckled.

Bella agreed and followed her grandfather to the seating area. She was amazed to see him still walking straight despite being in his late seventies. He could pass for someone in their late sixties if it weren’t for his wrinkled face and white hair.

Donovan sat on the sofa, staring at Bella. “What do you want to tell me?”

“I want to introduce someone to you, Grandpa,” Bella said while flashing her warm smile, remembering her son Dax.

However, just before Bella wanted to continue her sentence, she was stunned to see her grandfather’s saddened expression.

“Grandpa, why do you look—” Bella couldn’t finish her sentence when she saw him interrupt her.

“You already have a new boyfriend?” He asked in concern.

He wasn’t against her having a new boyfriend but worried about her getting hurt again. And he couldn’t bear the thought of Bella running away to another country.

Bella almost choked hearing his question.

“No. But, I have a son…” She hurriedly clarified.

Old Donovan gasped in surprise. He sat up straighter with his eyes sharp, staring at Bella.

“Heaven, you… You have a son!?” His eyes lit up with happiness, but suddenly, his expression turned stiff. “Who’s your son’s father? Why didn’t you tell me you married again!?”

Bella, “…”

“Oh, my dear Bella… Hurry, tell Grandpa. Who is the lucky guy who marries you?” he asked enthusiastically.

Bella, “…”

When Old Donovan saw her not say anything, he continued, “Where’s my great-grandson? Why didn’t you bring him here?”

Bella becomes anxious upon hearing how loud her Grandpa’s voice is. She quickly gestures to him, urging him to lower his tone. She fears that her uncles and parents outside might overhear their conversation about her son, Dax.

She is concerned that if they learn about Dax’s situation, her shameless uncle might decide to enter into another business deal with the Sinclair Family again. Hell no!

“Please lower your voice, Grandpa. Please,” she begged. Old Donovan nodded immediately.

“My son’s name is Daxton Donovan,” Bella paused when she saw him smiling happily — it looked like her Grandpa was pleased to hear she had given Dax his last name.

“Dax is in the hotel with my nanny. Do you remember Aunty Noora? She used my nanny, and now she become Dax’s Nanny.” She continued when she saw him nod, “I didn’t bring him here because I was afraid he witnessed what happened earlier. And I worry they will bring Dax to Sinclair to make another deal.”

Old Donovan nodded in agreement, “You’re right. Your uncle and father are truly shameless. They might do that! Well, it’s best not to bring my great-grandson here…” He said in concern and anger with his sons.

“I know. That’s why today I came alone to find the right time for you guys to meet. And, Grandpa, I think if you live in Lake Villa, that would be more suitable. Moreover, I also intend to introduce Dax to Grandpa Sinclair.”

“Perfect, my dear. I will ask Nick to process my discharge from the hospital. I will go straight to the Villa today,” said Old Donovan enthusiastically. He looked around for Nick but didn’t see him, “Where’s Nick?”

At the same time, the wardroom door opened, and Nick entered carrying several bags in his hand.

“Nick, your Ninja skills are improving,” Old Donovan smiled. I didn’t even know you were leaving the room.”

Bella, “…”

Nick, “…”

“Old Master, I didn’t want to disturb you chatting with Miss Bella, so I go out to buy your lunch. Sorry…” replied Nick as he placed several bags on the dining table.

“Ah, you’re right, Nick. We’re hungry,” Old Donovan said while looking at Nick, “And Nick, please take care of the hospital administration. I want to go out today. We’ll go straight to Lake Villa.”

Nick was surprised to hear that. He looked at Old Donovan. “Old Master, so fast? Did you say you will be out tomorrow?” Nick asked.

“I didn’t have any reason to stay here. Bella has already come and will join us at the Villa tomorrow.”

Nick nods happily, “I will do, master.” He brought something in his hand and walked closer to Bella. “Young Miss, here are ice cubes. You should compress your swollen face.”

Bella was stunned. She completely forgot about her face. Without saying a word, she received the ice cube and compressed her face.

“Thank you, Nick. You are the best,” Bella smiled sincerely at him.

Seeing Bella’s face, Old Donovan took another deep breath. “Are they still outside?” he asked, looking at Nick.

“No, they all left after I asked them all to go back. I said you don’t want to see them today…” Nick said before returning to the dining table to set up lunch.

“You did the right thing, Nick,” praised Old Donovan, always proud of his butler for handling the situation related to his foolish sons.

Isaac Donovan regarded Nick as a part of his family. He plans to leave all his wealth to Bella and Nick. He has no intention of giving any more money to his other children as they are only interested in accumulating material possessions.

After lunch with Grandpa and Nick, Bella immediately said goodbye.

Bella feels bad for Sean for waiting for her for too long. She is also starting to feel tired and wants to sleep — this jetlag is now hitting her.

However, before leaving, she warned her Grandpa not to tell Old Sinclair about Dax. She intended to say to him directly.

…

After closing the door behind her, Bella felt an inevitable ache in her heart as she walked down the empty corridor toward the elevator. She could feel her knees shaking slightly.
