My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 552

Chapter 552: In East City For The Wedding Ceremony
Bella and her family arrived in East City at night.

They headed to their new house after dropping her mother off at her house. Bella was thrilled to learn about their new house, as Tristan had only given her limited information about it. He had only told her the house was close to her childhood home.

As they left her mother’s front yard, their car didn’t head back to the main gate. Instead, it veered onto a new road, a path Bella had never seen before.

‘Since when did they build a new road here?’ she wondered while looking outside. The last time she visited this house was when her father died, and she remembered there was no road there.

Bella was surprised to realize their new house was right next to her parents’ house.

A smooth street connected the two houses, just as her house at Little Heaven had an alley linked to her Grandpa’s house.

She knows who owned that massive house before the number one rich man in the city. They wouldn’t sell any property, being already rich enough and not in need of money—unless someone forced them to sell, of course.

Bella began to wonder, ‘How could they sell the house?’ A sudden thought crossed her mind as she finally caught sight of the house in the distance. She glanced at Tristan, who was sitting beside her.

‘Could it be that Tristan forced them to sell it to him?’ she thought. That seemed the only reasonable explanation for why the homeowner would be willing to sell their property.

A faint smile slowly formed on her face as she saw a beautiful two-story white house with a stunning garden adorned with yellow garden lights.

With the limited light, she couldn’t see the entire front yard, but she was sure the garden was similar to their house garden in the capital.

Carrying her daughter, Bella entered the house with Tristan, holding Oliver in his arms. Leaning closer to him, she asked, “Did you force the owner of this house to sell it to you?”

Tristan chuckled as he walked toward the stairs, heading to the second floor to put the sleeping twins in their bedroom.

“I’m not forcing him to sell, but I exchanged it with a property that made him agree immediately,” Tristan finally responded to her after putting Oliver in his crib.

Bella frowned, looking at him, confused by his answer. “What kind of property did you give him? Why did he sell this house to you?” she asked.

Tristan didn’t answer Bella immediately but made sure the twins slept comfortably before he led her out of the room. Closing the door gently, he smiled at his curious wife.

“Why are you looking at me like that, dear?” Tristan chucked.

“You look suspicious. Why bother spending so much money on a house we rarely visit?” She narrowed her eyes on him.

Tristan touched her cheek and asked, “Can we discuss it later? We must have dinner with your family and Dax downstairs, right?”

Bella hurriedly nods.

“You are right, hubby. Hurry…hurry,” she said, taking his hand and leading him to the stairs.

She was grateful that Geoffrey and a few chefs and staff from their house had already flown ahead to prepare for their arrival.

When they arrived at the first floor, Bella was happy to see her mother and Henry sitting in the living room with Dax. They seemed to be engrossed in conversation and didn’t notice their presence.

“Mom, sorry to keep you waiting,” Bella said, approaching them. She sat beside Dax and then glanced at Henry, briefly smiling at him.

“We’ve just arrived. Were the twins still asleep?” Natalie asked.

“Hmm, they are sleeping soundly. Waking them up during our flight here worked,” Bella chuckled, recalling how they tried not to let Oliver and Aurora sleep on the plane. She turned to her brother. “I’m glad you joined us for dinner, bro.”

“Thank you, sis. How could I miss this dinner when my Brother-in-law invited me?” Henry expressed his happiness.

Bella and Tristan briefly returned his smile before discussing Emma and Archy’s wedding plans.

They will visit Emma’s house tomorrow to join the family for dinner.

The wedding ceremony will be held in Emma’s backyard the day after tomorrow. The party will only be attended by close family and a few Donovan Group board members.

Bella will not be too busy with the wedding preparation, as she will only attend the party. Still, her mother might be too busy helping her aunt.

“Mom, so you will go there early tomorrow morning?” Bella asked.

Natalie nods, “Yes. I feel bad because I cannot come earlier to help Emma.”

“It’s okay, mother,” Henry chimed in. “Aunty Emma understands you are preoccupied with helping my sister look after the twins.”

“Yes, Mom. There’s no need to feel bad about it. Besides, I hear my uncle’s wife also helps Aunty Emma…” Bella added.

One of the exciting things Bella looked forward to at her Aunt Emma’s wedding was that she would meet her uncles, Jacob and Thomas Donovan.

After the last shareholder meeting at the Donovan Group, when she removed her uncles from the company, she never talked with them again. Even at her father’s funeral, she ignored them both.

“You are right, but still, I have to be there tomorrow morning,” Natalie said with a faint smile.

Later, Natalie remembered Henry’s girlfriend. She glanced at Henry and asked about his girlfriend, Aria Foster, and whether she would join them for dinner tomorrow.

Hearing about it piqued Bella’s curiosity. She looked at Henry and smiled when she saw his shy gaze.

“Sis, I have a girlfriend,” Henry shyly said.

“I know,” Bella chuckled, “Mom already told me about her. You can bring her to dinner if Aunty allows you…” She wanted to meet her future sister-in-law.

“Thank you, sis.” A relieved smile appeared on his lips before he continued, “Aunty Emma asked her to come. So she will be there tomorrow.”

“I’m looking forward to meeting my future sister-in-law…”

The three continued to talk about the party while Tristan and Dax, busy, spoke about something in the corner.

Not long after, Noora appeared to announce that dinner was ready.
