My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 104

For a while, neither of them said anything.

The two stared at each other as if they were communicating through their gazes.

And whatever they were saying through their gazes was unpleasant because their stiff and dark expressions reflected that.

After some time, finally, Bella broke the silence.

"Now you remember, right?" She asked. Her cold eyes did not show mercy to him. She just wanted to draw a line between them, to awaken him from his delusion — she and he would never return together.

"I do. I do remember." A calm voice escaped from Tristan’s lips, causing Bella to feel relieved because this man finally understood.

As she wanted to end this conversation, Tristan suddenly continued his sentence.

"Do you want to know why I divorced you!?"

Bella frowned, confused by his question. She was puzzled why he asked that again. Did he forget what he told her at the time? His reason is that she can’t get pregnant.

She looked into his eyes to understand what he meant, and then, something crossed her mind, ’There is another reason?’

Slowly, curiosity emerged in Bella’s mind, but a second later, she dismissed it.

She took a deep sigh. Try to convince her mind that it’s all in the past. There’s no need to talk about it anymore.

"No," Bella answered firmly.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he continued his words again, ignoring her refusal.

"Bella, divorcing you, simply... I wanted you to be free from the suffering you endured because of my family, especially from my mother." He said with a serious tone but with sadness and sincerity.

There was no longer a warm smile visible on Tristan’s lips.

"I know you fell in love with me, Bella. I am sure of that... and only by speaking harshly to you could I make you willing to sign the papers. Because if I didn’t do that, you would force yourself to stay."

Her eyes shook, staring back at him. "Can you stop talking about my stupid mistake, falling in love with you!?" she wanted to say that, but those words remained in her mind.

Bella could only clench her fist, holding her emotions, hearing Tristan continue his words.

"If I didn’t do that, maybe my father and mother would still abuse you. They still torture you. I couldn’t bear to see you suffer for too long, Bella. That’s why when my mother offered me that opportunity, I agreed. It was the best choice for you at that time..."

Bella, who previously didn’t want to hear the reason, began feeling turmoil as if someone had just thrown a stone into her calm lake heart and created ripples when she listened to his confession.

Though she opened her mouth several times, she could not find any words to reply to him.

"I’m truly sorry, Bella. I know... that I hurt you at that time. But that was the only way to make you leave—"
