My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 365

Chapter 365: You Can’t Lie To Me!
They all turned toward the door, surprised to hear Tristan’s voice.

“Daddy? Why did you come?” Dax was shocked to see his father walk into the room.

“Oh, Son-in-law, you’re back? I thought you were flying now. Why are you here? Is everything okay?” Natalie asked, her high-pitched voice betraying her confusion and worry.

Bella, who already knew about Tristan’s sudden appearance in this place, was also shocked to hear his words—he would stay until her mother finished the surgery. What does he mean?

‘Why did Tristan not return to the airport? Did he cancel his overseas business trip? For real?’ Bella was speechless. She wanted to ask, but her mother had already voiced all of her questions.

Bella stared at him as he walked toward them calmly, unable to read what was on his mind. She could only look at him with a frown, silently telling Tristan she wanted an explanation.

While seated on the sofa, Tristan noticed them and smiled, but as his eyes met Bella’s, he could see the confusion in her gaze.

He didn’t want to make his wife worry and confused, so he immediately explained, “I requested my executive and Dylan to cover for me. They had already flown to the destination country,” he said calmly.

However, his explanation only served to confuse Bella and Natalie further.

Meanwhile, Dax was so happy to hear that his father would not leave and would stay with them in the house. He assumed this place was their holiday villa, like when they visited their beach house in Nova City. He already had plenty of plans to spend time with his parents.

Looking at his father, Dax’s eyes shone as he said, “Daddy, so you will also sleep here, right?”

“Sure, buddy,” Tristan replied with a warm smile. However, he felt slightly tense about his multi-million dollar business deal overseas. He hoped the executive he sent with Dylan would be able to manage the assignment successfully and seal the deal with the oil and gas company.

“Dad, can we play basketball tomorrow morning?” Dax pleaded with an adorable tone. “There’s a basketball court in the backyard,” he added.

“Of course. Mommy will also join us, right?” Tristan and Dax were looking at Bella, waiting for her to respond. Still, she was flabbergasted to hear them drag her into their conversation.

Bella stopped talking with her mother and turned to see them. She chuckled slightly when she saw their adorable eyes looking at her.

However, she had already exhausted herself, only thinking of playing basketball early in the morning. Although she likes sports, she prefers marathons to basketball.

“Baby, I wish I could, but tomorrow, your grandma will start her surgery. I will be busy at the hospital, accompanying her. You can play with your dad,” Bella said, making a random excuse to refuse them. She needed time off for her morning exercise.

Tomorrow, she also plans to wake up late because Tristan won’t be around, and her mother will have already entered the hospital. She thought staying in this place was a holiday for her.

“Oh, Bella, I have surgery around ten in the morning. You have plenty of time to accompany them to play,” Natalie smiled at her daughter and grandson. “Don’t worry about me; Aunt Angie and Emma will be there.”

Bella, “…”

Instantly, her mother’s words shattered her plan to relax. She had no choice but to agree to their invitation.

Slowly, her head hurt, and she said goodbye to her relaxed day, mainly because Tristan would stay with them this entire week.

After lunch, Bella and Tristan rested on the second floor. This was the right time for her to ask why he suddenly canceled his business trip.

She clearly remembered this morning; Tristan said that this trip was crucial, so he couldn’t send someone to replace him and had to fly there alone. But now, he is here!

Bella started to worry that Tristan’s meeting with his father caused him to cancel an important business trip. He wanted to make sure they were all fine.

Somehow, she felt terrible if he did that.

They were both lying on the bed, facing the white ceiling above. As usual, Bella lay on his arm. She glanced at him several times and saw Tristan still close his eyes. However, Bella knew her husband was not sleeping. She could feel his restless heartbeat.

“Tristan, I know you aren’t sleeping,” she whispered, staring at his long eyelashes fluttering before his eyes completely opened to glance at her.

“I’m not. I’m just resting my eyes,” Tristan smiled at her. “My dear wife, you must nap before your aunt comes,” he suggested.

“I do not feel sleepy. My mind is busy thinking of someone,” Bella took a deep breath before tilting her body toward him.

Tristan’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Who? Who is that person who makes you restless? How dare that person stop you from your nap?” he asked in annoyance. “Tell me, I will try to help you and scold that person.”

Bella, “…”

She shook her head slowly before she placed her hand on his firm chest. “Go on, scold yourself, Mr. Sinclair.”

Tristan was rendered speechless. He could only grin at her.

“I know how important your business trip is, Tristan…but please… You don’t need to cancel it. Even if your father knows we are here, we will be fine. So, you can continue your plan, flying there,” Bella said seriously. She didn’t want Tristan to neglect his work because of her or her family.

Tristan did not answer her right away; he gently turned his body to face her while slowly placing his other hand on her cheek.

“Dylan can handle it there. No need to worry about it.”

“You cannot lie to me, Tristan.” She still doubted his reassuring words.

Seeing how sharp his wife’s gaze was now and with no smile flashing through her lips, he no longer tried to humor her.

“I wouldn’t dare lie to my smart and pretty wife. Trust your husband; I won’t decide anything unreasonable. So, even though I’m not flying there, tomorrow I need to do an online conference.”

Bella was slightly relieved.

“I’m not completely letting them decide. I just sent my executive and Dylan to represent me.” After he leaned closer to kiss her lips, he continued. “Thank you, wife, for worrying about me and my business.”
