My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Her Birthday Approaching
A few days later.

So much has happened since William Sinclair’s funeral. His sudden death is still being discussed in public, and the A-Netz is demanding to know the cause.

Sinclair’s family knew they couldn’t stay still to keep it secret and let the doctor from their hospital address them in a press conference a few days after the funeral. Only after the press conference did the media and A-Netz no longer pressure them.

Despite William Sinclair’s passing, the Sinclair Group continues to thrive. The price of its public shares on the stock market remains unchanged.

A week later, the family members gradually returned to their usual routines.

Lewis Sinclair has chosen to spend some time in seclusion at his Lake View Villa, planning to return to the capital at the end of the year.

Tristan has also returned to his usual routine after taking three days off at home. He is busy leading his company again.

Dax has also resumed his regular schedule and is learning various activities with a private teacher at home. He has also started taking martial arts lessons with Geoffrey.

Bella’s baby bump is becoming more noticeable. She is now starting to do her morning exercises in their indoor gym.

As for her Quantum Capital matters, she can now trust Harper to lead the company. Lately, they seem able to handle the rest without her involvement. Harper only visited her twice with Leo to discuss company matters.

Freedom from Quantum Capital has given Bella so much free time. She feels happy because she is now starting to focus only on her pregnancy and her family.

Also, an exciting moment: She will turn thirty-two in two days. She didn’t plan to celebrate her birthday like she usually did. However, Tristan insisted that he would give her something special.

Bella didn’t know what it was, but she anticipated that because this was the first time after she had known him, she would accept his birthday gift.

…

Sitting alone on the couch in the living room, Bella is doing a video call with Stefan. However, a few minutes have passed since he excused himself to pick up a call.

“Sister, are you sleeping?”

Bella opens her eyes when she hears Stefan’s voice. She sits up straight, looking at her laptop on the coffee table.

“Why are you taking so long? Who’s calling?” Bella asked curiously, slightly annoyed.

“Who else? It was Jack,” Stefan shook his head while chuckling.

“And what does he want? Why is he calling you now?”

“Boss Jack ensures I’m not staying for too long at Astington. He also asked me to do many things before I fly tomorrow morning.”

“What time will you arrive tomorrow? Did Sam know about your schedule?”

“At night. Yeah, Sam will pick me up at the airport,” Stefan excitedly explained. “I’m so thrilled to fly now. And I’m so happy to finally celebrate your birthday again, sis.”

“Well, bro, no party this time. But I will invite you and the others for dinner at home.”

“That’s much better. You know I don’t like parties, right?” Stefan said.

“Yeah, I know. Any updates on that evil Mad Dog?” Bella inquired about Mad Dog. Since their last communication, there had been no significant news about him. She believed Tristan and his team were still trying to track him down.

“Negative! I’m starting to suspect Mad Dog has fled to another country because all his associates and businesses are no longer there.” Stefan replied.

Bella remained silent, but her worried expression conveyed her feelings. She feared that Mad Dog might harm her or her family.

“Sis, don’t worry. If he is abroad, our Sentinel Network will find him. We can’t operate as effectively in your country due to your country’s military involvement. Still, outside, he will have nowhere to hide,” Stefan reassured her, trying to lessen her concerns.

“Thank you, bro. I just want him to be captured. I’m still worried about the possibility of him still being out there; what if he returns for revenge?”

“He’s not foolish enough to act now, sis. I think he’s waiting for an opportunity to escape. I heard from Max that your husband is working with army special forces in your country to capture him so that he might feel the ultimate pressure now.”

“Yeah, I heard that too, and I hope so,” Bella said, nodding slightly. “Alright, let’s stop talking about him. You mentioned that you haven’t started packing your things yet.”

“Oops! I forgot about that. I have to go now. Bye, sis! See you soon.”

“Bye…”

After ending the video call with Stefan, Bella rushed to Dax’s activity room. However, before climbing to the third floor, she saw him descending with Noora.

“You’re done?” Bella asked as she waited for them at the end of the stairs.

“Yes, Mom,” Dax said as he walked faster to his mother. “Let’s go to Granny’s house. I’m hungry,” he said excitedly as they went to his favorite place for lunch today.

They arrived at Natalie’s house just as she put the last dish on the table.

“You guys are here?” Natalie smiled happily as she looked at her daughter and Dax. “Come on, hurry up and eat. You too, Noora, eat with us,” she said, stopping Noora, who wanted to go to the kitchen to clean up.

“I just want to wash my hands, mam,” Noora said with an awkward smile when she was caught trying to skip lunch with them.

“Alright, let’s eat. This is the spicy beef stew, special for my little Dax,” Natalie said as she served a bowl of soup to Dax and Bella.

“Granny, thanks for the food. But can you start removing ‘little’ before my name? I’m about to become a big brother,” Dax politely said before starting to gobble excitedly.

Natalie and the others chuckled at his words.

“Alright, alright, Dax…granny will call you that,” Natalie said as she ate with them.

They continue to talk about random things. But one subject seemingly piqued Dax’s interest more than the rest: his mother’s birthday, the day after tomorrow.

“Mom, why don’t you celebrate your birthday?” Dax asked.
