My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 38

Passionate Kiss *
After a long silence, Sean asked, “If… only my mother allows us to get married, will you accept?”

“I’m sorry, Sean. I can’t.” Bella stated firmly. “I wish your parents would accept me and my son sincerely, without any conditions.” She didn’t want to repeat her past mistakes by marrying into a toxic family like Tristan’s.

Sean sighed softly after hearing the answer. He said nothing because he suspected Bella’s marriage to Tristan didn’t seem happy.

Bella smiled as she heard him sigh deeply. She gazed at him momentarily, teasing him, “Oh, Mr. Spencer… giving up already?”

Sean sat up straight again and tilted his body slightly to see her face clearly.

“Bells, giving up is not an option for me. No matter how hard the road may be, I will pursue my goals.” He said firmly.

“I like your enthusiasm. You will have my prayer, Sean.”

“As you should!” Sean patted the top of her head gently while smiling.

However, Sean’s smile disappeared as he remembered that he wouldn’t be able to meet his parents anytime soon. So, Bella will have to wait a bit longer.

“Bells, I’m afraid you will have to wait a little longer.”

“What do you mean?” Bella asked, confused.

“I have to fly to the Middle East tonight. It’s an assignment that I can’t discuss with you. Not even the slightest detail,” Sean said apologetically before flashing a smile.

“I don’t know how long we’ll stay there because this is an undercover mission. We have to—” his voice hung in the air as he realized he was talking too much about his secret mission.

When he saw her confused, he continued, “But I promise you, I will try to contact you if I have the opportunity.”

Sean said that to keep Bella from getting upset or worried. Even though he knew that he wouldn’t have the chance to do so because, during a secret mission, he wouldn’t be able to contact anyone, including his family, because if their enemies found out, they would target them.

Bella tried to contain her shock, knowing they would be separated for a while.

“Sean, I understand your situation. Please never be worried about me. I’m fine on my own, and I will patiently wait for you here,” Bella smiled to make him feel better. “So, can you tell me how long you will be on the mission?”

“Yeah, that I can. I’m not really sure at this point. I’d say around six months. I hope it can be accomplished sooner. But the possibility that it may take longer than that is also still open…” Sean let out another long sigh.

Sean had never felt this way before. He was always excited about his mission. But now? He felt terrible for the first time. It feels awful when a woman promises to give him a chance to own her heart, but he can’t do that right away because he has to go on a mission. It feels sucks!

Meanwhile, Bella felt her heart sink when she heard they would be separated for that long. She thought he would only be gone for a few weeks.

She tried her best to conceal her shock while casually saying, “Alright, I trust you know how to take care of yourself, but still, always be careful, Sean. And… please return in good health.”

“Thank you, Bella. I will definitely come back for you and Dax!” His eyes shone even brighter at the thought of someone waiting for him.

Sean is very excited and happy. He cupped Bella’s warm cheeks gently with both hands while looking into her eyes lovingly. Then, slowly, he leaned closer and gently pressed his lips to Bella’s warm lips, causing her to be stunned, but she didn’t resist his kiss.

Bella could feel the warmth of his tongue dancing in her mouth. Rather than resist, she returned his kiss with equal passion while wrapping her arms around his neck. A few times. She felt her blood rush with this passion.

The air in Bella’s chest was practically squeezed out. She wanted to breathe, even if she had to put some distance between them. However, in Sean’s tight embrace, she could not move.

Several times, soft moans were heard coming from Bella’s lips when Sean’s hand touched the back of her neck gently and deepened his tongue into hers.

The gradual lack of oxygen causes Bella’s limbs to be weak. In the end, she tries again to push his chest away.

“S-Sean…”

When Bella felt like she was going to die from lack of oxygen, Sean finally gave in to kissing her any longer. The tip of his warm tongue gently brushed her unusually rosy lips while smiling lovingly, looking into her eyes.

Seeing her mouth open slightly when she inhaled deeply seemed to arouse the desire to devour her again, but he held back. Sean could only smile at her while brushing her lips gently as their eyes still looked at each other.

Receiving fresh air once more, Bella gasped for air like a drowning person. She hurriedly hid her face in his firm chest when she saw his eyes burn in passion.

Bella was afraid she wouldn’t be able to stop herself if this man wanted to do something more than kiss, something she wanted to do so badly, but her rational mind was holding her back.

Sean embraces her and smiles widely, content with their passionate kiss. He will always cherish this kiss. Now, he must rush back to the capital to meet his parents and convince them to accept Bella and her son as part of their family.

…

For a few moments, Bella enjoyed the hug in silence. However, not long after, she heard Sean tell her about what he would do before going to the mission and what he would do when he returned from the mission and met his parents.

Bella said nothing. But deep in her heart, she prayed that Sean’s parents would be much better and nicer than Tristan’s and would accept her without condition.

Before long,

Bella remembered something. She released his hug and saw Sean in the eyes.

“Sean. Earlier, you said that you know Tristan! Is that true?”

“Yeah. I know him, but I never knew him well. He was close to my father, though. Why?”

Although Bella wanted to ignore this, she couldn’t. She needs to talk to Sean if she wants this relationship to work.
