My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 138

After a tense and awkward dinner, the four of them didn’t immediately leave the room; they remained in their chairs.

Jack was talking with Tristan about recent global issues.

While,

Leo and Bella started gossiping about what was happening at Stellar Entertainment after Andreas Corby announced his resignation from the company.

However, Tristan could vaguely hear Leo and Bella’s conversation. At the same time, he remembered his plan to sue Laura Kiels.

Just before Tristan wanted to tell Bella about it, Jack suddently asked him to speak outside — on the veranda.

"Tristan, let’s smoke outside and continue our chat," Jack said, a meaningful smile flashing across his face as he looked at Bella.

Bella, who witnessed Jack’s suspicious gaze, began to feel worried. She frowned at him as if she wanted to stop him, but Jack completely ignored her.

"I’m sorry, Jack. But I didn’t smoke. However, I will accompany you outside," Tristan said. He stood from his seat, and before he followed Jack, he gently patted Bella’s shoulder and whispered, "Don’t worry about me, Bella... We only talk." He could feel Bella seem to worry about them.

"Leo, do you know why Jack wanted to speak with Tristan...without my presence?" she asked without looking at Leo, her eyes still fixed on Jack and Tristan.

"Come on, Bella...why are you curious!? Let them talk alone. What are you afraid about?" Leo chuckled when he saw the stiff expression and worry flashing in her eyes. "You didn’t hear what your hubby said?"

Hearing Leo’s last words made Bella anxious, even angry. She turned her gaze to him and snapped, "Shut up! Don’t joke around saying that, Leo! If someone heard you, they might believe your words..."

Leo ignored Bella’s annoyance as he shook his head. He didn’t speak nonsense; instead, he stated the facts of what he saw.

Since Leo arrived in this city and worked with Bella, this was the first time he could talk and meet Tristan in person this close. Before today, he could only see Tristan from afar on several occasions because Bella never allowed them to meet.

After meeting Tristan in person, Leo felt confused. Why was the news he heard about Tristan Sinclair was completely different?

Before meeting Tristan directly, Leo is told by Jack and Harper that Tristan is cold to Bella, does not once show his affection to Bella in public, and never says his love for her either.

Nevertheless,
