My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: They Captured Marco!?
When Bella opened the door to Tristan’s office, she saw him on the phone by the window, his back facing her.

However, Tristan seemed to hear the door open, turned to see the direction of the door, and signaled her to come closer.

Standing next to Tristan, Bella could hear their conversation. At that moment, she found the answer she wanted to hear; they had indeed captured Marco, the person who was responsible for her father’s death.

She knew from the autopsy report results that her father didn’t have any harm, only a cut on his neck. This meant that her father didn’t picture Marco as a threat. So many thoughts filled her mind as she tried to figure out what happened at the crime scene that day.

Too immersed in her thoughts, Bella didn’t notice that Tristan had already finished talking. She pulled back from her thoughts when Tristan turned her body to face him.

“My darling wife, let’s sit first…” Tristan said while leading her to settle on the sofa. However, he didn’t sit with her immediately. Still, he walked to the minibar, poured a cold sparkling water bottle into a crystal glass, and gave it to her.

Bella said nothing but accepted it and emptied the glass in just a few seconds. She was indeed thirsty now, and her throat felt so hot that she could feel the symptoms of a heat-stroke hitting her.

After putting the empty crystal glass on the coffee table, she looked at him and asked, “So, is the man they captured confirmed as Marco? The real one?”

Hearing her question, Tristan smiled lightly as he nodded.

“Yes, they finally captured him yesterday, but they only released the news today for safety. We suspect he still has many followers out there,” he explained.

“Yes, he might have. He couldn’t succeed in hiding for long if no one helped him,” Bella commented.

“True. That’s why Owen and his team are treating this case carefully. And they also wanted to ensure the one they captured was the right person, not his alter body again.”

Bella slightly nodded, agreeing with his words. They are dealing with the cunning Marco.

“Oh, right. Did they catch him using the technology from Ms. Tan?” Bella asked. She remembered they only started using the tech last month and already got results within a month.

“Yes, of course,” Tristan continues to tell her everything he heard from Owen.

Bella was pleased to hear that. She was so grateful that Stefan had contributed significantly to bringing Mel Tan’s tech to the country and helping them deal with public enemies like Mad Dog.

Now, the danger lurking behind them no longer exists. She can go out freely without worrying about Marco anymore. She also doesn’t have to worry about her family’s safety.

Tristan was impressed as he saw her eyes beaming and her smile no longer carrying the sadness and worries he usually sees when discussing this matter.

“Are you that happy hearing this news?” he asked.

“Why do you even ask? Of course, I am…” Bella said, placing her head on his shoulder and wrapping her hand around his arm.

“I’m glad I finally see the happy light in your eyes, dear,” he responded.

“Hmm,” Bella replied, but then something crossed her mind. “Tristan…” She quickly lifted her head to meet his eyes.

He frowned, “Yes? What is it, dear?”

“If you allow me, I want to confront him. I want to ask him directly why he killed my father,” Bella’s voice trembled, unable to hold back her emotions as she remembered how frightening her father was at that time.

Bella paused to breathe when she felt Tristan squeeze her hand gently as if trying to keep her from getting carried away by her haters toward Marco. She took a deep breath and tried to dismiss her anger.

After feeling her heart lighten and no longer too angry with Marco, Bella continued, “And I want to ask that evil man, Marco, what he said to my dad to make him seem not to fight for his life…”

Tristan’s expression slowly turned gloomy upon hearing her hollow words. But he hurriedly smiled at her, even though he could feel his smile didn’t come from his heart. He hated Mad Dog, too, for what he did to Lucas Donovan.

Like her, Tristan wanted to know what happened that day, but even if she pleaded, he would never let her meet that evil man, Marco.

If he had a chance, Tristan wanted to torture Mad Dog with his hand and make him speak, but he could not do that because this case involved this nation’s military. Even though he is close enough to Jayson Spencer, Jayson can’t help him with personal matters.

“I’m sorry, Bella. You know I will not allow you to do that, right?”

“Yeah, I know.”

He caressed her hair gently and said, “But I can promise you that man will get his heavy punishment. He will never get out of prison till his end of life.”

Bella smiles silently. Although she knows Tristan will never allow her, she still feels slightly annoyed to hear his confirmation.

“Alright, dear, there’s no need to think about that Evil Marco anymore,” Tristan said, pulling her into his arms and embracing her for a while. “Dear, you seem to need to nap now; I can feel you are sleepy and exhausted…”

No words could be heard from Bella’s lips. However, she felt her heart race the moment she felt something between her legs as if she was just pee, but it wasn’t pee. Suddently she remembers something.

“OH MY GOD!!” Bella pushes Tristan slightly away from him and looks at him in shock. “T-Tristan, I think….the water is breaking.”

“What is breaking!?” Tristan was shocked and confused as he heard her words. But, still in his shock, he knew what happened once he looked at her white-as-paper face as if she had just seen a ghost enter his home office.

Bella didn’t reply to him, but she looked at her lower abdomen and saw the sofa turn wet.

“Tristan, my water broke,” Bella’s voice trembled, still not expecting this to happen now. “I think I’m going to give birth today!”
