My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Happy Tears
Bella didn’t say anything, but her sobs grew louder. She felt so happy to hear about her pregnancy; Her happiness was so overwhelming that she couldn’t stop her joyful tears from spilling down her cheeks.

“Why are you crying, dear? Is the news that you’re pregnant upsetting you?” Tristan asked carefully, avoiding being a smart-ass and worried about being insensitive to his wife.

She immediately shook her head, “Of course not. I’m not upset. I want Dax to have a sibling…”

“Then why are you crying?”

“These tears are my happy tears, hubby!” Bella answered as she wiped the tears from her cheeks.

After her sobs slowly subsided, she continued, “I really wanted to give Dax a sibling. I’m just so happy and can’t believe it happened so fast,” she said, looking Tristan in the eyes.

Tristan was confused. Why couldn’t she believe it happened so fast? Did she forget that they made love almost every day without using any protection? Of course, she would get pregnant.

“My wife, perhaps you forget that we’ve been trying hard to give Dax a little sister or brother. We’re trying so hard and so keen nearly daily.”

Bella, “…”

She took a deep, long sigh.

“Tristan Sinclair, what I’m trying to tell you…” Bella’s expression turned serious. “How could I get pregnant so easily now? Do you remember how difficult it was for us to get pregnant until we finally had Dax!? It took so many years. And even you don’t know that I was pregnant at that difficult time.” Her voice trembled as tears filled her eyes.

Slowly, memories of the past flooded her mind, tightening her chest.

Seeing how upset Bella was, enough to make Tristan’s heartache, remembering those dark memories of their struggles, he said nothing but gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Once again, he pulled her into his arms to offer emotional support. They hugged briefly as she let her tears flow into his arms.

“I’m sorry I made you recall those awful times again, dear. I could try to find the answer if you want me to. But, if I may ask, why don’t we just put our trust in God? Believe that this is His present for us,” Tristan whispered.

“And, Bella, I hope you no longer feel sad or upset about what happened in the past, that emotions might affect our child inside you.”

Bella’s sobs slowly faded away as she agreed with what Tristan said.

“Hmm, I agree. I will… But, Tristan, I still feel like this isn’t real,” she said.

After a few moments, Tristan said, “That’s why we need to visit the doctor today to check your pregnancy condition.”

“Hmm… let’s go,” Bella said as she left the bed. However, before she walked to the bathroom, her steps halted as something crossed her mind. “Tristan, why didn’t you tell me you sent my blood to the lab?”

Tristan took her hand and led her to the bathroom before explaining, “Because I didn’t want to disappoint you if the result was not what we hoped for…”

Bella smiled at him. He was indeed wise to think that way. She might be disappointed if the test result was negative, so it was probably better if she didn’t know about it.

“Tristan, we shouldn’t tell people about my pregnancy. I’m worried something will happen. Let’s keep it a secret until they see my bump,” Bella said. She was afraid of what happened in the past repeating itself and would disappoint many people if it happened again.

“Okay. I will support you in that, dear,” Tristan answered. He was excited because, unlike during her first pregnancy, he didn’t have the opportunity to take care of her. This time, he would make sure to pamper his wife and give her the best care until she gave birth later.

***

After breakfast, Tristan drove their car to S International Hospital.

Bella sat in the back row with Dax, who insisted on coming along because he missed his grandmother and Aunty Noora.

Before long, Dax asked, “Mommy, is Uncle Henry also in the hospital?”

She turned to see her adorable son, nodding, “Yes, he is.”

“Can I meet him?”

“Sure, but I need to check first before you meet him. I’m worried your uncle’s health condition is still not okay for us to visit,” she explained.

Bella wasn’t entirely honest with her son. She must talk to Henry about her son because he does not know about Dax’s existence. She worries that Henry will be shocked to death after learning she has a son and is still married to Tristan Sinclair.

Later,

Finally, they arrived at the hospital. They didn’t visit the ob-gyn first, but Bella took Dax to her mother’s VIP room.

When they entered the VIP room, Bella saw her mother and Noora had just finished their breakfast.

“Bella, Tristan, why did you come so early?” Natalie asked, surprised to see the three of them enter the room. She immediately stood up to greet her grandson. “Little Dax, come hug Grandma.”

“Granny…” Dax greeted her before walking to hug her.

“Mom, Dax wanted to meet you and Noora. And we came earlier because Tristan has some business in this hospital.” Bella explained calmly, trying to hide the colossal secret they now have.

Natalie ignored what Bella said; she was busy talking to her grandson. She missed him a lot and felt sorry because today, she couldn’t prepare his breakfast as she usually does.

Bella simply smiled, observing how much her mother doted on her son. She said nothing and just let them talk.

She didn’t stay in the room for too long. After excusing herself to her mother and Noora, she left with Tristan.

Her heart beat faster as she walked along the corridor, heading to the special elevator that brings them to the VIP floor. She remembered visiting this place almost every month in the past.

However, in the past, she always came to this place alone; Tristan never accompanied her. It didn’t matter to her because their relationship was merely a deal.
