My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 420

Chapter 420: The Test Result!
Tristan’s gaze is fixed on the white envelope in his hand.

In the left corner, there’s an S International Hospital logo. His hand trembles slightly as he tries to open the envelope. After much effort, he manages to tear the envelope open.

When he finally takes out the blood test result, his heart races. However, he cannot bring himself to read it openly.

He takes a deep breath and calms his racing heart a few more times before daring to read the result.

Tristan doesn’t understand what else is written there, but his eyes are now fixed on the status of the pregnancy.

Instantly, his hand clutches the paper tightly after reading the answer to his curiosity.

“Boss, we have arrived—” Reid’s voice pulls Tristan from his thoughts. He immediately steps out of the car and heads to his office.

Meanwhile, at the same time…

Bella is sitting in the living room at the stone house with her mother.

Dax is busy in the corner watching a documentary movie about Arctic expeditions on his iPad.

Before Bella handed over a brown envelope to her mother, she glanced at her son again, ensuring he would not hear their conversation.

“Mom, these are the divorce papers Dad signed and the Inheritance Letter that a lawyer has legalized…” Bella explained a few things and asked her mother to check.

Natalie froze in her seat. Her eyes stared intently at the A4 envelope on the table.

Slowly, her hands on her lap clenched into fists, feeling cold, like she was holding ice cubes.

Somehow, Natalie felt unreal because she knew Lucas Donovan so well. He is not the type of man who would give up on her easily; he will never let her go.

But now? It’s hard for her to believe that Lucas Donovan, her first love, the man she had loved for decades, had finally agreed to separate from her without a fight.

“Mom, do you want me to open it for you?” Bella asked, successfully snapping Natalie out of her own thoughts.

Natalie turned her gaze to Bella.

A half-smile appeared on the corner of her lips before she responded, “No need. I will check—”

Natalie slowly reached for the envelope and opened it. When she saw the divorce papers that Lucas had signed, a mix of emotions spread through her heart; she felt happy and sad simultaneously.

Taking a deep breath, Natalie found another document inside the envelope.

‘A will? Why did he give this to me?’ Natalie muttered to herself.

Receiving a will from Lucas confused her.

When she decided to divorce Lucas, she didn’t plan on asking for any financial support because she didn’t want anything to do with him anymore.

‘Lucas, why did you confuse me again with this matter!? I don’t need anything from you!’

Natalie started reading, and it took her a few minutes to finish reading all the content of the will.

Her brows slowly furrowed when she read the list of assets Lucas gave her. She didn’t understand all of that; she looked at her daughter.

“Bella, why did your father give me all his wealth?” Natalie asked, but Bella responded with the same confused expression. She also didn’t understand why her father did that.

Natalie reread the letter. This time, she read it aloud so Bella could hear it.

“Your father transferred all his Donovan Group shares, several houses, some land, and other assets listed in this letter. The only thing that’s not included here is his cash.” Natalie paused as she glanced at Bella.

“Can I see it?” Bella asked.

“Sure!” Natalie handed the will to Bella.

After reading it herself, Bella was shocked to see that what her mother had said was true. All her father’s assets were listed in the document.

“Woah! I didn’t expect my father to have this many assets. I thought his assets were used up by his woman out there—” Bella’s sentence hung in the air when she saw her mother’s facial expression turn dark again.

After scolding herself inwardly, Bella smiled faintly at her mother.

“Mom, I can’t confirm the legality of this document yet because this is only a copy. We need to ask the lawyer to come here to confirm this will,” Bella explained.

“Who is the lawyer your father used?” Natalie asked.

“Uncle Erik Anderson,” Bella answered while she handed the document to her mother. She continued, “Mom, I’ll contact Uncle Erik and ask him to come here. We had better hear from him quickly, Mom. To settle this document…”

Natalie nodded in agreement.

“Yes. Please arrange for Erik to meet me here.”

“Ah, what about the divorce papers? Do you want me to submit them to the court?”

Natalie was silent for a moment. An inner conflict arose in her heart since she knew Lucas had suddenly changed.

She hears so many things about Lucas that she never witnessed when she was still his wife; Lucas agrees to divorce her. He also said he would vanish from her life and Bella’s. The most confusing thing that puzzled her was Lucas giving away all his wealth.

Now,

Natalie was lost in her thoughts, thinking about Bella’s question. After a few moments, her hand tightly clenched before she said:

“There is no need to submit this to the court. I’ll keep this letter to myself. What’s important is that your father knows we’re divorced, and he doesn’t have a chance to hurt me again.” Natalie smiled, feeling amused, as she looked at her daughter, who appeared shocked.

In her mind, Bella disagreed with her mother, but she didn’t want to interfere with her mother’s new phase in life. And Bella wants to show her respect for her mother’s wishes. As long as her mother didn’t decide to return to her father, she could live with that.

“Okay, Mom. I understand.”

“Bella, there’s something I want you to do for me. Besides calling Uncle Erik, can you also call Henry to come here? I need to talk to him. I’m sure your brother feels confused now…”

Natalie hesitated to finish her sentence when she saw Bella’s displeased expression.

“My daughter, it’s okay. Forget what I said earlier…” Natalie said softly. She didn’t want to trouble Bella again about Henry’s matter.
