My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 474

Chapter 474: How Could You Betray My Son?
Next Day.

After the meeting at the Quantum Capital building, Bella and Bryan rushed to Roots & Recipe Family Restaurant.

She would meet Dax and Noora there, who were also on their way from home.

“Ma’am, excuse me,” Bryan glanced at Bella through the rearview mirror. He saw her eyes closed.

“Yes?” She responded without opening her eyes.

“Your husband said you need to eat your snack,” Bryan said without glancing at her. He focused on the street ahead.

Bella’s eyes opened, and she sat up straight when she heard the word “snack.”

She suddenly felt hungry. And now, they were still five minutes away from the restaurant.

“Why are you suddenly talking about snacks?”

“There’s a snack box next to you, ma’am.”

Bella immediately looked beside her and was surprised to see a black box the size of a shoebox sitting there.

When she opened it, her eyes lit up. Inside were half a dozen of her favorite peanut butter donuts, two bottles of cold milk, and a box of grape juice.

“Wow, thank you, Bryan. Did you prepare all this?” She glanced at Bryan.

“Yes, ma’am. Your husband gave me the list and asked me to get it for you,” Bryan smiled as he saw her start eating the donuts.

“Did Tristan tell you that I’m pregnant, Bryan?” Bella asked after finishing two donuts and a bottle of her milk.

“Y-Yes, ma’am. The Boss has informed all your guards about your pregnancy, so every guard would act accordingly,” Bryan explained. They had known about her pregnancy for a week.

Her safety would be their top priority whenever she went out. Just like now, a few cars shadowed their vehicle.

Today, they also carried out their plan to catch whoever was always tailing her.

“I see,” Bella responded before continuing to devour her donuts, occasionally glancing at her phone, waiting for a text from Noora.

Bella wanted to confirm Dax and Noora’s current position.

It didn’t take long; a text from Noora appeared, informing her they would arrive in 10 minutes.

Before long, Bella finished her donut. Bryan’s voice made her stop as she was about to take her last donut.

“Ma’am, we’ve arrived!” Bryan said as he gradually slowed down the can to enter the main entrance.

A few seconds later, after handing the key to the valet, he led Bella inside.

The restaurant was bustling, but Bella had already reserved the best VIP room to enjoy her lunch with a beautiful view.

Bella deliberately didn’t inform Amanda Spencer when she would visit her restaurant. She was worried Amanda might close the restaurant just for her, and she didn’t want to inconvenience her by making her rush to greet her.

She planned to call Amanda later after she finished.

After confirming her reservation, a waitress escorted them to the VIP room.

The restaurant was situated around a picturesque green lake with stunning gardens. Families and children could enjoy activities like fishing, canoeing, and more. The place seemed large and offered a breathtaking view.

After seeing the location, Bella understood why Amanda had recommended this restaurant to Dax. Most children would enjoy a place like this, but her son was different.

Dax preferred the sea and might not be interested in the city’s scenery and activities here.

“Ma’am, this is your room,” the waitress stops before the room with door number 222.

“Thank you,” Bella politely responded while glancing at Bryan, who looked tense behind them.

She focused again on the waitress, “I’ll place my order after my family arrives.”

“Yes, ma’am. You can call me by pressing the bell inside,” the waitress explained.

“I will, thanks.”

After the waitress left, she asked Bryan to wait for Dax and Noora at the main entrance.

However, before Bella entered her VIP room, the door next to theirs opened.

A middle-aged woman was surprised to see her. “Bella?”

Bella’s body stiffened when she heard a voice she knew well but wanted to forget the most: Jessica Sinclair, Tristan’s mother, her mother-in-law.

‘What the hell! Why is she here?’ Bella cursed internally, glancing at Jessica as she walked towards her, eyeing Bryan suspiciously.

“Wow, I didn’t expect to meet you here finally, Bella. And who—” Her sentence stopped, and her eyes returned to scan Bryan from head to toe. “Oh, you slut! How dare you hook up with another man when my son already declared he is married?”

“Be careful with your words, LADY!” Bryan’s annoyed response was cut off when Bella raised her hand. He looked at Bella with a frown. “Ma’am,” he began to protest, but Bella stopped him again.

She leans closer to Bryan and whispers, “Bryan, go outside, wait for Noora. Make sure she doesn’t come here until I call you.” She doesn’t want Jessica to hear her words.

“But, ma’am,” Bryan hesitated.

Still, Bella insisted that he go. “It’s an order, Bryan. Go! You know me well; I can handle her myself. Don’t worry.”

Bryan nodded, but before leaving, he shot an intimidating glare at Jessica Sinclair. He didn’t care that this old woman was his Boss’s mother; His only concern was ensuring Bella’s safety, and he knew that was the only Tristan expected from him.

“My goodness, Bella, you are such a terrible woman. A slut! How could you betray my son? Just wait until I tell him you’re having a relationship…” Jessica’s voice trailed off, glaring at Bella, who walked away and entered the room, ignoring her.

“You bitch! You have no manners!” Jessica snapped, following Bella into the room. She pointed a finger at Bella. “How dare you ignore me? I’m Tristan’s mother! Did you forget?”

Bella ignored her anger and said, “The guy earlier was your son’s employee. He is my bodyguard.”

Jessica’s face twisted in anger. She hated how her plan to create trouble for Bella had been so easily thwarted.

“Anyway, how dare you ignore me?” Jessica snapped, her anger continuing as she looked at Bella sitting across from her, busy searching for something in her bag.
