My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Curious About The Woman’s Identity
Leo turned his gaze back to Stefan. “Man, you can’t even delete the article!?”

Stefan was irritated by Leo’s question. He turned to scold him but hesitated when he saw Leo’s sharp gaze. He had no choice but to explain.

“Listen, the article was intentional. Max uploaded the article… You guys know who Max is, right?” He paused when he saw Leo and Sam nodding in surprise.

Stefan continued, “That’s why after I deleted it and removed those articles and spread my virus, it had no effect because Max already knew about it. He re-uploaded it immediately and even warned me to ignore the article.”

“Wah…Boss Tristan, why did he do that?”

“Yeah, why did he allow those rumors to spread?”

Leo and Sam said as they looked at Bella. They saw her smiling while looking at her cell phone. The trace of worry and anger that had appeared on her face earlier was no longer there—she was in a good mood.

“Thank goodness Boss Bella is not a jealous woman. She understood that the woman holding hands with Boss Tristan was not his new woman,” Sam said, relieved. He puts his cell phone into his pocket.

However, his smile instantly vanished when he noticed Leo and Stefan glaring at him. He frowned, trying to figure out why they both asked him to stop speaking.

‘Did I say something wrong?’ Sam wondered, scratching his head. He was utterly lost.

The room fell silent once more.

The three men returned their gaze to Bella with tension, but their unease slowly faded as they noticed Bella still looking calm and smiling, as if she didn’t care about Sam’s words.

“Sister, why aren’t you upset? Even though the article was fake, the woman was real. And you know, in one of the pictures, your husband is certainly almost ki…” Stefan couldn’t finish his sentence, too worried about provoking her anger.

“That woman is not fake, Stefan,” Bella said, shaking her head slowly. A smile escaped her lips as she saw their confused expressions.

She continued, “The woman in the picture was me. Remember when we visited East City to take over the Donovan Group?”

The three men nodded, their brows furrowed.

“Tristan and I were taking a night walk near our hotel. The picture on the internet was taken from that…” Bella explained.

Everyone was surprised to hear that. The tension dissolved into laughter as they reread A-Netz’s comments on the gossip news article.

Bella smiled silently as she pondered her thoughts. She finally understood Tristan’s reason for wanting to publicly display their affection that night. Despite the presence of many passersby near the river, he boldly kissed her, with ulterior motives for revealing their relationship.

‘So, is this your way of announcing to the world that you’re no longer single, Mr. Sinclair?’ Bella wondered.

She can’t wait to meet him soon and scold him for making her worry for nothing.

Gosh!

…

Before long, Leo and Sam concluded their discussion of various company matters and returned to the office to work as usual.

Meanwhile, Stefan excused himself to the computer room as he had a few pending tasks to settle.

Bella remained in her office, reading through some documents while having a snack. She only left her office when Noora came to call her for lunch.

***

That day, the day it passed so fast.

Bella woke up from her nap just as Tristan was about to arrive home from work. As usual, she quickly got ready and came downstairs to greet him.

She stood near the entrance, her eyes staring at Tristan’s car approaching. She was curious about gossip news and wanted to talk to him.

Five minutes ago, she checked the internet; their gossip was still everywhere and even made headlines on television. Now, people want to know the woman’s identity.

For some reason, she felt grateful because no one could tell it was her.

However, since the news about Tristan having a mysterious woman became a trending topic, her family, who knew about her relationship with Tristan, started to contact her and wanted to hear her clarification about this matter.

Her cell phone didn’t stop ringing. Her grandpa, aunt, and everyone who knew wanted to clarify if the woman was her. She felt tired of answering and has never replied to messages or calls from anyone since then.

Tristan’s car finally comes to a stop. Bella’s smile widens as she sees him leave the car and walk quickly toward her.

Before Bella can say anything, Tristan’s hand lands on her waist and pulls her close to him. He leans closer and kisses her lips gently, making her wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back.

After their lips separate, he asks, “How was your day?”

Bella smiles, seeing his face only an inch away from hers. “Terrible!” She narrows her eyes at him and shrugs. “You make my day troublesome. My cell phone was about to explode.” She pouts while taking a deep sigh.

Tristan chuckled, understanding what she meant. He stood up straight, but their bodies were still touching. He hugged her, ignoring the presence of Geoffrey and some of his bodyguards still awaiting his next instruction.

He looked at her again lovingly, “Ma’am, I’m ready to accept my punishment. I’m willing to offer myself. You can use my body all night long—”

Tristan’s voice stopped as Bella’s small hand pinched his stomach.

“Hahaha, I’m just kidding, dear. I promise I will not exhaust you tonight; do you remember what Aunty Kelsey said? She advised me not to be too wild in bed. So—”

Another pinch landed on Tristan’s stomach.

“Can you watch your words, Mr. Sinclair? There are many people around us…” Bella whispered, feeling her cheeks grow warm, embarrassed. She felt at a loss speaking with him. Gosh!

A faint smile graces his face as she hears her words. He can see her shyness through her gaze. Letting her face lay in his chest and his hand still around her, he glances at Geoffrey, not far from them.
