My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 526

Chapter 526: The Shocking Birthday Gift From Tristan
Later, curious Dax suddenly chimed in, “Mom, why don’t you celebrate your birthday?”

Natalie and Noora are also curious. They both look at Bella, who smiles back at them.

“How could we celebrate when I have just lost your Grandpa? Besides, you know I never celebrated my birthday.” Bella said before she lowered her head and continued eating, trying to hide her sadness.

“True,” Noora gloomily comments.

Natalie, upon hearing this, also feels sad. She knows that since childhood, her daughter has only celebrated her birthday twice. After that, they only have dinner with family members every time on her birthday. Remembering those times, she feels wronged because she never gives Bella happy memories on her birthday.

The room becomes silent as they all continue to finish their lunch.

However, not long after, sensing the room’s gloomy vibe, Bella tries to divert the conversation. She looks at her mother and asks, “Mom, how’s Henry?”

Natalie’s eyes slowly lit up.

“Bella, your brother is doing well there. He now leads a small team that is expanding a company in the nearby town. And he is now living with your grandpa in his lake-view villa. Well, don’t worry; no one knows about his identity in the office.”

Bella smiled. This is what she wanted to hear.

“Sounds good to hear that, Mom. I hope Henry can learn in three months before I ask Auntie Emma to call him back to the headquarters.”

“I’m proud of Master Henry now,” Noora said.

“Thank you, Noora. I hope he can become a decent man,” Natalie said, looking at Bella. “Oh right, Bella, I plan to visit your brother and Grandpa in December and return with them. I hear your Grandpa and Lewis will come here to celebrate the New Year, right?”

“Mom, of course you can. And yes, we will have a small family party here on New Year’s Eve,” Bella said, happy to see her mother finally not gloomy anymore. She turned to Noora. “Aunty, you have to go with Mother.”

Noora was surprised to hear that. “Young madam, is that okay?”

“Yes, of course. You never go on holiday, Aunty Noora. You should go there to relax and accompany my mother this time. Help my mother relax, too,” Bella insisted.

“Alright, ma’am. If you insist…I will gladly go there and accompany Old Madam,” Noora giggled as she ate again.

“Can we go too, Mom?” Dax pleaded. She had only once visited that place, and he missed it again.

She also wanted to go there, but she knew Tristan would not allow her to go with only Dax after what happened recently. Mad Dog is still out there.

“I will ask your father first, Dax,” Bella said.

“Okay, mom—”

November 20.

“Happy birthday, Bella…”

Bella tried to open her eyes when she heard Tristan’s voice near her ear.

“I’m sorry I woke you up,” Tristan said, wrapping his arms around her body and pulling her closer. He smiled when she heard her groan while hiding her face on his chest.

“What time is it?” Bella asked in a hoarse voice. Her eyes just refused to open.

“It’s twelve past,” Tristan felt guilty for waking her up, but he wanted to be the first to congratulate her. “I’m sorry to wake you up now.”

“Hmm, it’s fine. Can we sleep again?” Bella weakly said, barely opening her eyes. Last night, she tried not to fall asleep before twelve, but it seemed she couldn’t take it anymore, and she fell asleep at who knows what time.

“I’m sorry, but please wait a bit. There’s something I want to give you. Wait here a minute, I’ll get it,” Tristan said, immediately leaving the bed.

Bella opened her eyes and saw Tristan walking towards their office. She waited for him to return.

Not long after, he returned with a brown folder, sat on the edge of the bed, and handed it to her.

“What is this?” Bella asked as she sat beside Tristan, looking at him.

“Please check it yourself, dear,” Tristan said with a smile as he turned on the reading light. “This is my birthday present for you.”

Bella no longer asked but immediately opened the folder. She saw several sets of papers inside, and as she read them, the content shocked her.

She looked up to see Tristan smiling at her. “Why did you transfer the Sinclair share to me?”

Bella was shocked beyond words to see that the papers transferred twenty-five percent of Sinclair Group shares to her.

“As I said before, this is my birthday present for you, dear,” Tristan said gently.

“But these shares?”

“These are the shares Grandpa gave me if I agreed to marry you…” Tristan paused for a moment to take a deep breath before continuing. “My dear, I want you to have all these shares because they were always meant to be yours, not mine. So please accept them as your wedding gift and also as a birthday gift.”

“Tristan—” There were so many things Bella wanted to say, but somehow, all the sentences in her mind slowly disappeared when she saw his gaze. She couldn’t say anything, just looking at him with teary eyes.

“My wife, Bella, I sincerely apologize for the difficulties at the beginning of our marriage. And as I have promised many times since the beginning of this year, I have told you that I will only give you happiness from now on,” Tristan said sincerely while looking into her eyes.

“Thank you—” Only those words could leave her lips. She was still shocked at receiving such a large share for a company as big as Sinclair Group. “But is this too much, Tristan…”

“You deserve it. Please don’t refuse. It’s all yours now,” Tristan assured her.

“Alright, I will accept it. But someday, I will give it to our child when they grow up.” Bella said.

“You can do whatever you want, dear; that’s yours.”

“Hmm…” Bella smiled back at him, feeling grateful. However, later, something crossed her mind. “But, Tristan, if I have twenty-five percent share, how about you?” she asked.
