My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Hopefully, He Will Change
“Thank you, Bella. You’ve given your brother a chance. He might not deserve it, but you have become a much better person for giving him that chance,” Natalie said sincerely.

Her eyes slowly turned red as she held back her tears. For her, it was enough that she and Lucas were separated; she didn’t want her two children to become enemies and distance themselves from each other.

“Come on, Mom. Don’t thank me. I’m just doing what I promised Dad and you. Once a family, always a family. I can’t exclude my older brother from our life. What I’m doing now is best for him, whether he likes it or not. It’s to help him become more human again. Hopefully, he can change and become a better person,” Bella said.

Natalie nodded in agreement. “I hope so, Bella. I’m also worried because the more I see Henry, the more he reminds me of your father. He’s starting to become like your father.”

“He’s still young. I hope he will change,” Bella smiled.

“Alright, dear. Uhm, and one more thing, I want to give you and Henry the shares your father gave me. You are free to decide how to split it with him. It’s the least I can do to repay your kindness to your terrible brother,” Natalie explained. She didn’t need those company shares because she didn’t understand how to do business.

Bella was surprised to hear her Mother’s wishes. She never imagined she would inherit her father’s shares.

“Mom, thank you. I appreciate your offer. But I don’t want to accept anything from my father, especially his share in the Donovan Group. You can do whatever you please about it, including giving them all to Henry. But, if I may suggest, don’t let him know about it now. Tell him about it when he is worthy of getting those shares.”

Although Bella conveys her rejection of her Mother’s offer softly, in her mind, she vehemently refuses it. She had already made a vow in her heart that she wouldn’t accept a single penny from her father, even though her father had already given those shares and property to her Mother.

“Oh, Bella, why refuse the share? Your father has five percent of the shares; you can divide them in half. You both will get 2.5 percent…” Natalie was confused. “Even though I don’t understand how much that share is worth, I guess you will receive a lot, right?”

“Mom, did I tell you that I’m actually the largest shareholder in Donovan Group? I own more than 60 percent,” Bella said with a smile, looking at her Mother. “It’s fine, Mom… You just hand those 5 percent to Henry. He is a MAN; he needs that for his future.”

Natalie held Bella’s hand tightly. She still couldn’t believe that her daughter was now the largest shareholder in the family company. How could she do that? Did Tristan help her?

Before Natalie could ask her, Bella spoke, “Mom, I have a rich husband and my own company as my source of income. You don’t have to worry about me and Dax.”

“Okay, okay, I understand,” Natalie smiled. She knew she wouldn’t win the argument if Bella had already made up her mind. “Bella, I will go along with what you’ve arranged for your brother.”

“Thank you, Mom,” Bella smiled, feeling happy, “What about the property? Do you want to sell it or keep it?”

“Let it be. I won’t touch anything that Lucas left for me. I’m happy with my life as it is. As long as you don’t leave me and allow me to stay in my place now to watch my grandson grow up, I don’t need anything else.” Natalie’s eyes were blurry as she stared at her daughter.

Bella felt her heart warm when she heard her Mother’s words. “Mom, of course, you’ll stay with me forever. Don’t think like that again, okay? I won’t leave you alone…” She took her Mother’s hands and gently tapped them.

“Thank you, dear,” Natalie said as she embraced Bella. She felt blessed with her life now, especially after the sadness she had experienced in the past. Finally, God blessed her with this happiness she could share with her only daughter and those around her.

They continued talking for a few more minutes before Tristan finally arrived.

Bella was curious about what Tristan had discussed with Henry, but she didn’t have much time now; she needed to rush to her office, so she put aside her curiosity.

She immediately said goodbye to her Mother and left with Tristan. Meanwhile, Dax would stay with his grandmother and Noora. They will return home this afternoon.

At Quantum Capital Building.

Tristan parked his car in the usual parking lot in the basement near the VIP elevator to go straight to Bella’s office.

However,

Before Bella opened the door, Tristan stopped her and said, “Mrs. Sinclair, don’t skip lunch. Remember, you feed two souls inside, three if we include you…” He reminded her sternly but with a solid tone of caring and loving. He was actually reluctant to let her go, but he understood her reason.

Bella nodded, confirming his worry with a sweet smile. She felt her heart warm again, remembering she was pregnant with twins.

“You know what, Hubby? It’s hard for me to believe that we will have twins. Now, I’m curious: did you have any family members with twins?”

As far as Bella could remember, she hadn’t heard of anyone in her family having twins. So, she assumed it must be from Tristan’s side.

“I think so. If I’m not mistaken, it’s from my grandmother’s family. But we haven’t been close with them since my Grandma died,” Tristan explained. His eyes showed a faint glint of sadness, but Bella didn’t notice it. Not even the slightest.

“I see. No wonder we have twins now,” she said excitedly. “Ugh, Tristan, I have to go now. I’m worried Harper will leave without me. She’s very punctual…”

“Hmm. You can go. But make sure Bryan and Sam follow you to the airport,” Tristan said with the same stern tone.
