My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 276

276 /569

Bella couldn’t hold back tears when she saw her Aunt, who was always strong, sobbing like a child.

However, she couldn’t find the words to say to her, as if all the sentences she strung together in her mind were stuck there.

She opened her mouth a few times to speak, but her words could not leave her lips.

Feeling helpless, Bella turned her teary eyes to her Grandfather. She was slightly surprised to see him also staring back at her with mixed emotions, causing Bella to frown.

Before Bella could ask him anything, Isaac Donovan cleared his throat and said, "Bella, I’m sorry I let your aunt come here." His voice quivered. "Your aunt is facing some difficulties in East City, so I asked her to visit me here to calm herself."

Isaac Donovan worried that Bella would blame him because he could not keep his word to keep a secret from their other family members. Despite his agreement with Bella to hide this, he also wanted to share this happy moment, especially with his own daughter, Emma.

He continued, "I’m really sorry to make you cry, my dear granddaughter. You can scold Grandpa, but please don’t vent your anger on your Aunt."

Bella silently sighed, looking at her Grandpa, who seemed to blame himself.

"Grandpa, I’m not mad at you...and how could I—" Bella began, but before she could finish, Emma chimed in.

"Oh...Bella, please don’t be mad at your Grandpa," Emma worried about coming to Bella’s house without permission. She was too excited to know her niece had a son, so she forced her father to bring her here.

Bella, "..."

’Aunty, can you let me finish my words?’ Bella silently chuckled inwardly, amused at her Aunt, panicked in the middle of her tears.

"Be-Bella..." Emma continued while wiping the tears from her cheeks. "I actually guessed about you and Tristan after what happened in East City," she explained in her hoarse voice.

Hearing her Aunt’s words surprised Bella. How could Aunt Emma have guessed it so right!? She wiped away the remaining traces of tears that rolled down her cheeks, trying to adjust her emotions and speak with her Aunt.

But once more, she paused when her Grandpa said, "Granddaughter, your Aunt found out by herself. But I’m the one who told her about you and Dax."

"Grandfather, I understand," a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips before Bella turned her head again to look at her Aunt Emma.

Something caught Bella’s attention, and she needed to clarify things with her Aunt. "Aunty, you have sharp senses. How did you guess it?"

Emma, who had stopped crying, moved beside Bella and held her hand. With a happy and enthusiastic gaze, she explained what was happening at the Donovan Group, the news on the internet, and the buzz shaking the company.
