My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Can You Give Him A Chance?
“Tristan, as a good wife, I must always support my husband… I couldn’t help but worry when I heard you abandoned your work only to stay by my side during this difficult time.”

Bella confessed, burying her face in his embrace. She felt too shy to express her feelings about him.

When she heard his heartbeat, louder than usual, she silently swallowed before asking again.

“So, are we going to spend our time here with Dax? Aren’t you going to the office too?” She tried to change the subject.

After hearing her sweet words, Tristan’s lips formed a loving smile. He wanted to see her shy face, but she was already hiding.

Tristan chuckled faintly before saying, “Yes! I will take my week off, just like you.” He pulled her closer to him.

Bella was surprised to learn that he was also taking an extended leave. She looked up to see his eyes, worried again about his act.

“Tristan, it’s okay? You are a big boss for a huge company like Sinclair Group. Not like my small company. Besides, I have Harper, who will replace me during my absence…”

“Well, I also have someone to take care of the company during my absence,” Tristan said.

“Who?” Bella had never heard Tristan mention a trustworthy person to look after his company. Unless the old man finally offers a hand to help. “Did Grandpa Lewis replace you?”

“Hahaha… Of course not. He is too old to sit in the office.” Tristan amusingly laughed when he imagined his grandpa returning to the company.

“If not Grandpa, then who?” Bella was curious to know. But, before Tristan could answer her, William Sinclair’s face appeared in her mind. Her heart tightened thinking of that man.

She lowered her gaze, avoiding eye contact with him, before asking, “You asked your father to look after the company?”

“I’m not asking him, but he volunteered to do that. Of course, I allowed him. This is a rare opportunity to spend my time with you and Dax, right?”

Bella didn’t answer him. She doubted his reason because she knew how Tristan handled the company; he was a workaholic. A week without work? It’s impossible to see him do that.

However,

She didn’t ask him any more questions because she enjoyed spending time with Tristan and their son without thinking about work. Even though they were there because of her mother’s surgery, the place was amazing.

They got a huge villa on the corner, near the forest, with city views. The house was very private, surrounded by lush trees, and separate from the other villas in the hospital complex.

“I’m serious, Ms. Sinclair. My dream was to spend my long vacation with you and our son. I had a plan for our honeymoon, but due to your mother’s surgery and the Donovan Group matter, I had to postpone it…”

Tristan explained his dream honeymoon, which he had planned in one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland.

“Thank you, Tristan. You are so kind,” Bella’s heart swelled to hear how romantic and meticulous his plan for the three of them was. “Sorry, because my family matters, you have to postpone your plan.”

“It’s fine. We can wait until your mother gets healthier and your matter with Donovan Group settles. We still have plenty of time, so there is no need to rush,” he said while caressing her hair.

Bella didn’t say anything; she only smiled back at him and tried to close her eyes; she would be sleepless tonight because her aunt would come.

They have many issues to discuss, especially what happens in the East. She was curious about what her father had done recently and what her uncle had done to help the company from the brink of bankruptcy.

However, only a few seconds after she closed her eyes, Tristan’s deep voice rang and surprised her.

“Bella, is there any chance you would allow my father to meet our son?”

Her eyes widened when she heard his request. She was shocked and confused. This was the first time Tristan had begged her for this matter.

So far, Tristan had never asked her directly, only saying what his father wanted, but now, it was different. He is the one who asked her.

‘Why? Is there a special reason?’

Pulling her head away from Tristan, Bella looked up to see his eyes. Seeing the worry in his deep blue eyes made her even more confused about how to respond to his request.

“My wife, I know I sound pathetic and inconsistent now because I asked you this. But this request is something that I no longer can impede.” Tristan feels ashamed to betray his promise to her; he will never force her to allow Dax to meet his parents.

But now? He didn’t have a choice. His father is dying, and he pleads to him to meet Dax before he dies.

The first time Tristan heard about his father’s illness, he didn’t believe it. How could his father have such an illness without him knowing?

However, he was utterly shocked when he asked Max to retrieve his father’s medical report. His father was telling the truth.

His father no longer had a chance to recover; the doctor even said he could die at any time. Only a miracle could prolong his life now.

Only then did he realize the many changes that had occurred to his father. His father’s body, which used to look fit, now looks thinner, and his complexion is always pale. His hair, which always looked thick, is now shaved very short.

He thought all this time that his father wanted to hide his gray hair, but it turns out that since undergoing chemotherapy, he has lost a lot of hair. His father didn’t want them to know about his illness, so he deliberately shaved his head.

Even though Tristan didn’t like his father, he couldn’t hate him. Not forever.

His cold heart slowly melted when he saw his father sincerely begging while crying.

What his father did was something Tristan had never witnessed. His father cried and wept before him — and it broke his heart!
