My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Dark Rose Nightclub?
Sinclair Tower.

The sky had changed color when Reid arrived in Tristan’s office room.

“Boss, I’ve received a report from Max, but the results are zero. They are clean. No place they go is suspicious; it means they are not staying in one place for long,” Reid explained while observing Tristan’s expression, sitting across from him.

“But, there is one thing that often happens from their tracks. They always visit and seem close with the Dark Rose Club employees.” Reid continues.

“Dark Rose Club?” Tristan frowned slightly. “You mean the nightclub?”

“Yes, Boss. I asked Max to investigate those people,” Reid answered quickly. “I hope to get more clues about them from this investigation.”

“Hmmm, that makes me suspicious,” Tristan responded.

“Suspicious? About what, Boss?”

“Dark Rose Club. For no obvious reason, my gut tells me that the club is related to Dark Skull. Is it possible?” Tristan slightly took a deep sigh as he narrowed his eyes on Reid. “…or am I just paranoid that I was too susceptible to that damned organization?”

Reid’s eyes widened as he said, “Boss, you are right. Why did I forget about them? I was also taken aback when I heard the club’s name, yet I didn’t think they were related. But now that you said so, I will ask Max to link his investigation with them.”

Now Reid recalls the Dark Rose Club, a recently established nightclub that quickly became successful in the country, surpassing the previous one.

Tristan didn’t immediately respond to Reid. He turned to look outside at the now dark orange sky, pondering his next move to resolve the matter.

After a few seconds, Tristan decided to change plans. He turned to Reid and said, “Release the two people in basecamp.”

“Release them? Are you serious, Boss?” Reid asked in confusion.

“Yes! This is the only way to get what we want,” Tristan explained his plan.

Reid finally understood Tristan’s intentions. He immediately nodded and excused himself to carry out his order.

After Reid left the room, Tristan did not move from his chair.

He turned his gaze back to the sky outside while his mind reels back to when he fought over a mining project with a company owned by a big gangster in this country, Dark Skull.

The organization challenged his bottom line. Of course, he did not give them space to grow in this country; he fought them. And all his efforts paid off. With the help of the military special forces, he shut down the Dark Skull organization and all their businesses established in this country.

Unfortunately, even though they shut down Dark Skull’s operations in this country, they never found the mastermind behind them and the prominent leader of the underground organization. To this day, he still sent his people to trace them, yet no one has been able to find them all.

“Mad Dog! Now, you return? And wanted to take revenge on me through my weakness? My wife?”

Tristan’s icy smile graced his lips as he stood from his seat. He needed to return home quickly. His wife had already called him to have dinner together. She had good news to share with him.

A few days later.

Tristan enjoys spending the weekend with his family in the backyard near the lake.

That afternoon, the weather was enjoyable; they could do outdoor activities.

It is unusual for Tristan to spend time with his father and grandfather around his house.

He talked with his wife while sitting on the patio, watching their son fishing by the lake with his father and grandfather.

They discussed many events in the last few days, especially Bella’s plans to step down from her CEO position.

Tristan is delighted to know the plan. He feels relieved because Bella no longer has to go to the office, and she no longer has to stress about office matters.

He glanced at his wife, who was now reading a pregnancy book while leaning her head against his shoulder. A soft smile appeared on his lips as he pulled her to sit on his lap.

“Tristan?” Bella was surprised by his sudden intimacy. “We are outside. Grandpa and Father will see us—”

She closed her book on her lap and turned to face him. Their faces were so close that their noses almost touched, and she could feel his warm breath tickling her skin. She pulled her head away from him.

Tristan smiled and leaned in to capture her lips. After kissing her tenderly, he smiled at her teasingly.

“My darling wife, my dad, and grandpa might encourage us. Did you forget how eager they are to get a grandchild from us?”

Bella was speechless.

“I am already pregnant, so why do they want to encourage us again? Gosh, don’t make a random excuse,” Bella scolded him, only to get a grin from him.

Not wanting to anger Bella, Tristan stopped teasing her. However, he kept her sitting in his lap as he told her about his plans to move to their old house.

Bella was shocked. She remembered that she had already sold that house. How could he want them to move there? She suddenly had a thought.

“Tristan, did you buy the house?”

Tristan smiled faintly while tucking her hair behind her ears.

“Hmm… I’m the one who bought the house when you asked the lawyer to sell it.” He paused briefly to smile when he saw her gasping.

“At that time, I already felt like I was losing you. So I kept the house, hoping we would return as a family and stay there. I know how much you adore that place.” He continues.

Bella’s eyes slowly filled with tears as his words touched her heart deeply. She said nothing but listened to him finish his words.

Tristan wrapped his arms around her.

“Early this year, after you returned with Dax, I asked someone to renovate the interior, make changes on the second floor, and add a room for Dax and our future children. And, last month, the house was ready for us to move in. So we can move there before Dax celebrates his birthday.”
