My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 197

There was silence for a moment before Dax continued what was on his mind.

"Dad, I heard from Uncle Sam that my mommy was exhausted from work. That’s why she didn’t go to her last meeting yesterday. Is that true?" His round eyes blink several times as he looks at Tristan.

Tristan was stunned to hear that Dax knew about his mother’s condition.

"Your mother is indeed tired, but don’t worry, she’s fine now. She just needs enough good sleep."

Tristan couldn’t tell Dax that Bella was sick yesterday and had to visit the hospital. He didn’t want Dax to worry too much.

However, worry still flashed through Dax’s gaze before he said, "Dad, my mom never worked when we were in Sweden. She spent all her time at home with me. But, when she got here, she went to her office almost every day and came home before evening..."

Another long and deep sigh echoed in the room.

"I feel sorry for Mommy. She had to work very hard since returning to this country. I wish she could stay home with me more."

Not only does Dax feel worried about Bella’s condition, but Tristan does too. Last night, when they talked, he asked her to stop working and enjoy her day at home with their son. But Bella refused. She said she wanted to pursue her career. She didn’t want to return to her past self and become a full-time housewife.

And,

Every time Bella brought memories of their past, Tristan didn’t have a chance to refute her. He could only accept her decision.

However, Tristan had a plan. He would meet Jack Foster and ask him to lessen Bella’s responsibility in Quantum Capital. Only this would make Bella slow down.

...

Bella secretly overhears their conversation. She was stunned to hear Dax express his concern.

Without her realizing it, her eyes felt blurry. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions. She was sad because she had to work and leave her son at home. She also felt her heart warm because Dax was concerned about her condition. Her son is so adorable.

Bella tries hard to calm her emotions and not cry. Afraid these two men will worry even more about her.

"Okay, little buddy, let’s go downstairs, let mommy sleep a little longer..." said Tristan as he stood up from the bed and stretched his hand to Dax. He responded to his father with a quick nod and took his hand.

However, just before they left the bed, Bella’s voice suddenly stopped them. "Dax, Tristan, please wait. Don’t leave me alone..." she said as she got out of bed.

Tristan and Dax’s steps halted. In a hurry, they turned back and saw Bella smiling at them, then casually, she continued fixing the bed.

"Mo-Mommy, you are awake?"

Dax releases his hand from Tristan and runs after Bella.

Bella smiled as she hugged him.

After Bella released her embrace, she was stunned when she saw worry flash across his gaze.

Knowing what he was worried about, Bella no longer asked any further. She lowered her head and spoke softly to him, "Baby, could you wait for me on the couch? I will clean up fast before we go down for breakfast."

"Hmm..." Dax nodded and obediently walked to the seating area in the corner.
