My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 515

Chapter 515: I’ve Become Forgetful Lately
After warmly greeting everyone, Tristan invited them to celebrate Daxton’s birthday before they took their lunch.

Dax blew out the candles on a solar system-themed chocolate cake for the second time in a day.

Then, they all started having a lively lunch. There was no longer any awkwardness among the guests, just like earlier when they found out that Jayson Spencer, the country’s president, had come to this lunch party and sat and enjoyed lunch with them.

Jayson Spencer engaged in light conversation with all of them, just like he talks and eats with close friends. Everyone was stunned to see him being so friendly.

They thought Jayson Spencer’s image in the media was just a public image, but it seems they were wrong. He liked smiling and handling a conversation well without causing any awkwardness. His attitude was the opposite of his son, Sean Spencer, who looked cold and rarely spoke.

Not only Sean, who didn’t speak much during this lovely lunch, but Harper was too. She still felt uncomfortable and nervous sitting between Sean and his mother.

And, the image of how formally Jayson Spencer greeted her earlier still lingered in her mind. As she ate her lunch, countless questions danced in her mind.

‘Did he notice I’m dating his son? Why does he seem not to like me?’

Harper tried to find the answer in her mind, but she couldn’t find anything to make her feel better. All the answers that appeared now were the same: Jayson Spencer didn’t like her.

‘Why didn’t he like me? I remember Sean saying his father was nicer. But why does he look so cold at me?’

Harper silently sighed, trying hard to act as usual and enjoy her lunch. Still, her nervous mind failed her miserably, and she felt all the food taste nearly bland in her mouth, which she knew was not true. It’s just that her mind was too stressed.

Sean could feel Harper’s anxiety tensing up as he sat beside her. He glanced at her while gently patting her back, surprising her.

Harper turned to see him with a slight frown on her forehead. But her worry and awkwardness slowly faded when she saw his calm hazel eyes and warm smile.

However, her heart started to race when she saw him leaning closer and closer to her.

‘My gosh! Sean is about to kiss me,’ Harper swallowed. ‘What is he thinking!? Why did he want to have our first kiss here? When is everyone around?’

Harper’s heartbeat became faster and more profound. She slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the magical moment she always dreamed of. Now, she no longer cares about the other people around them; she would not refuse this moment, kissing him for the first time.

However, Harper’s imagination crumbled instantly as Sean’s barely audible voice could be heard near her ears, “Eat more, don’t stress about anything.”

‘Darn it, my mind is playing tricks on me again,’ Harper scolded herself, embarrassed. ‘Why did I think he was going to kiss me? Please forgive my dirty mind, God.’ She hides her blushing face.

“Hmm, I will,” she answered softly, trying to enjoy her slice of grilled meat again.

Fortunately, the warm lunch finally ended a few moments later.

They all moved to the lounge again while continuing their chat.

Harper now talked with Sean’s parents.

Tristan and his other friends also engaged in earnest conversation.

At the same time, Natalie Wright and Emma Donovan joined Dana and Leo in the corner.

Bella didn’t stay in the room for long; she excused herself to accompany Dax back to his room. Her son needed to rest. He had spent his time since dawn until now. It was almost two in the afternoon, and he looked exhausted and needed to nap.

As they left the hall, Bella ran into William Sinclair, her father-in-law. She was surprised to see him leaving the room as well. Earlier, she had seen him still talking with her Grandpa and Geoffrey.

“Father, do you want to go back home?” Bella asked.

William Sinclair stopped and smiled at Bella and Dax.

“Yes, I need to rest a bit. I will come back for dinner and play with Dax,” William Sinclair said, winking at Dax and rubbing his soft hair.

Dax smiled at him and said, “Grandpa, I will come to your house. You don’t have to come here; you look exhausted…”

Bella agreed with Dax. She felt concerned about William’s health lately. She had heard from Tristan that William’s illness was getting worse, and it seemed that Jessica’s case had devastated him.

“You can rest in the guest room, Father. I will ask Noora to lead you to the room,” Bella offered.

“It’s fine, Bella. I also need to take my vitamins. I’m getting old; I’ve become forgetful lately. I should have brought them today, but I didn’t,” William Sinclair smiled at her. “Alright, Alright, I will go now. See you again, little man. Go…take your nap. You look so sleepy.”

“See you, Grandpa…”

“Take care, Father…” Bella said. She still worried that William Sinclair refused her offers; she knew he needed his medicine, not vitamins. “If you need anything, please ask Geoffrey.”

“Sure, dear…”

Bella and Dax didn’t immediately walk to the second floor. They stood there, watching William Sinclair walk away and later disappear at the backyard door.

“Mommy, why does Grandpa look so pale? Is he sick!?” Dax asked as they walked to the second floor.

Bella was taken aback by Dax’s question. They had not yet told Dax about his Grandpa’s cancer, but this little man seemed to have started to realize it. Now, she was confused about whether to say it to him now or for another, more private time.

She took a deep breath and smiled at him. “Mmm, your Grandpa has health problems, but he will get it through. He is a strong man.”

Dax’s expression slowly turned sad.

“No wonder. Every time I go to Grandpa’s house, he looks like he’s in pain. I thought he was just tired of playing with me.”

“Maybe don’t force him to play physical games next time?” Bella smiled at him, trying to lift his mood.

“Yeah, I just need to play chess with him, just like great-grandpas…” Dax said.

“Yeah, that’s a great idea, dear.”
