My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 156

Despite being confused, she immediately picked up the phone when she saw Tristan’s name on the screen.

"Bella, can we talk? I hope I’m not interrupting anything." Tristan asks, worried that she is in the middle of a meeting.

"You’re very fortunate with your timing. You’d have interrupted my meeting if you called five minutes ago. What is it?"

"Really? Thank God for that. Yeah, it’s about this afternoon. I don’t think I can accompany you home, Bella. I’m really sorry for that. I have a last-minute meeting, and I can’t push it back..." he said apologetically.

Bella could sense Tristan’s sincere tone.

Tristan said, "But don’t worry. I’ll send my car and my driver to pick you up. But, Bella, I need your help with something... Would you mind saying something nice to our son about my absence from attending his piano test?"

He would go home with her if he could postpone this sudden meeting for tomorrow. However, this time, he couldn’t avoid it.

"I see. Okay, I’ll tell Dax you’ve tried your best to come, but sometimes work happens," Bella said. But when she heard him let out a long sigh, she continued. "You don’t need to worry. Dax will understand. And you don’t need to send your driver either.

I have Sam. He can drive me home..."

"O yeah. I forgot about Sam," he said, smiling before continuing, "Thank you, Bella. I really appreciate your good words to Dax. I’m sorry I won’t be able to see Dax’s first weekly test."

"It’s fine; Dax would understand. Ugh, Tristan, well..." Bella hesitates to express her thoughts.

"What it’s?" Tristan ask, confused when he notice her reclucant.

"I just want to say that from now on, you don’t have to drive me anymore. Someone has been watching us, taking our pictures, and even trying to blackmail me. If your mother sees that picture... I hate to think what she will do about that. Do you agree??"

Tristan didn’t say anything immediately, but Bella could feel he must be angry and frustrated.

"I hope you didn’t break your promise, Tristan." She continued after Tristan spoke. "You need to stop driving me around. People are watching, and I don’t like the possible consequences."

"Hmm….If you want me to do that, I will force myself to accept it even though it’s really…hard for me to be away from you."

"Thank you..." Bella said, her tone obviously sounding relieved. Her smile slowly appeared from the corner of her lips. She waits for this, stopping Tristan from acting as her driver.

Tristan chuckled softly and asked, "Are you that excited that I didn’t pick you up from work?" His tone was casual, but there was a hint of disappointment.

"No. Of course not. I just feel worried..." She answers quickly while scolding herself inwardly to make it obvious that she is happy. Gosh!

"Alright, we will talk about it later at home."

"Mhm," Bella could only respond that.

After talking a few things, Bella finally ended the call and continued her work.
