My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 412

Chapter 412: He Cry
Lucas Donovan said nothing but handed the phone to Bella, then took a white envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.

“Bella, I already signed the papers. Please take care of your mother for me,” Lucas said as he stood from his seat.

“My daughter, I promise you I won’t appear before you or your mother in the future. Goodbye, Bella. And thank you so much for allowing me to meet my grandson…” He finished his words and left.

Bella sat still, watching her father disappear from her line of sight. She didn’t know why, but she felt tears wetting her cheeks as he vanished.

Her heart ached as she witnessed her father crying for the first time. He didn’t express anger or objection; he simply left.

“Bella, did your father really leave?” Natalie’s voice came from the speakerphone.

Bella looked at the screen, realizing the call was still connected. After wiping her tears, she replied, “Yes, he already left. He also signed the divorce papers. So, Mom, you are free now.”

Placing her cell phone on the table, she opened the envelope.

‘What is this!?’ Bella was shocked to see that along with the divorce papers, there was another paper there.

Natalie was stunned. She asked, “Are you certain about that?”

Earlier, she had wanted to test Lucas to see if he had really changed, as Bella had said. That’s why she deliberately didn’t say anything, provoking him to show his emotions and annoyance. But it seems Bella was right; Lucas was indeed changed.

“Yes, Mom. He left because he could no longer hold back his tears. I guess he didn’t want me to witness his vulnerable side.”

Bella silently took a deep sigh while pinching her temple. Thinking about her father and what she saw today gave her a headache, enough to make her suspicious he would do something.

Natalie was startled to hear Lucas Donovan crying. She had known him for many years and had never seen him shed a tear, not even when his mother died.

“Bella, why do I feel bad for him?” Natalie confessed.

Bella shrugged. “Mother, why do you feel bad for him? Are you feeling flattered by him because he has become nice? Come on, Mom, you are the one who reminded me—”

“No, Bella… You are wrong.” Natalie quickly explained that she felt terrible for Lucas because she hadn’t said anything.

“It’s fine, Mom. Father will understand because I already told him that you are too hurt and traumatized to speak to him ever again.”

Natalie said nothing.

Everything had happened. As Bella said earlier, she is now free. She doesn’t have to worry about him anymore. She could only bury Lucas in her deepest heart.

But Natalie’s plan to bury Lucas deep down in her heart suddenly failed when Bella said something about Lucas.

“Mom, there’s something weird about my father…” Bella said, her gaze falling on the document on the table.

“Weird? What is it?” Natalie asked.

“Besides the divorce paper, he left a will. I think it’s about an inheritance for you. I haven’t checked the content yet. You can check it later when I arrive…” Bella folded all the papers and put them in the envelope again while talking with her mother about a few things before she finally ended the call.

Bella didn’t rush to leave the room, but her eyes looked toward the door. The worry she felt before slowly emerged again in her heart—her father might end his life.

“Is everything okay?” Bella snapped out when she heard Tristan’s voice from the master bedroom. She turned to see him and saw him walking with Dax beside him.

She smiled at them before standing from her seat, “Hmm, everything is okay. Tristan, I’ll be leaving soon for work. I have to go to the Donovan Group’s HQ.”

Instantly, Tristan and Dax’s expressions turned gloomy.

“Mommy, are you going out for work again?”

“Yes, baby. There is one work I need to finish today before we can return to our house. And I promise I’ll return immediately when it’s done.” After smiling at Dax, she turned to see Tristan. “I hope we can fly back to the capital at night.”

Tristan’s gloomy expression slowly changed as he smiled lovingly at his wife.

“Okay, dear. Bryan and the others will guard you all the way. They are waiting for you outside…”

In another room, Harper and the others sat in the living room.

Her eyes were fixed on her cell phone, and she was nervously waiting for a reply to the message she had just sent. She checked her cell phone signal a few times, but what she had been waiting for was not there.

She started to think about so many things.

Why didn’t he reply?

Did I send the wrong text?

Harper read the bold message she sent to Sean.

‘Hi, Sean. I’m sorry if this bothers you. But truth be told, I’ve been thinking about you a lot. I hope we can meet. Uhm, can we meet?’

Sighing deeply, Harper looked at Sam, who was sitting opposite her.

“Sam, why do I think Sean thought of me as spam?” she asked while throwing her cell phone aside.

“Why do you think like that!?” Sam responded.

“Because he never replies to my text messages, not even once. I guess he is blocking my phone number. Oh my God! I’m sucks!” She said, almost crying.

Sam shook his head.

He doubted it. He knew Sean was not that kind of person, especially if he knew the number belonged to Harper, Bella’s best friend and a respectable woman. However, there is a chance Sean might have ignored Harper because she was annoying him by sending too many text messages in too brief of time.

Sam chuckled as he remembered how Harper constantly texted him if she needed something urgent. She was indeed like a spammer, texting him nonstop.

“How many times have you sent Sean a text message since I gave you his phone number?” Sam asked.

Harper slightly frowned as she tried to remember.
