My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 281

Bella’s eyes flashed with shock. She looked at Tristan silently, unsure how to answer or react to his words.

Tristan already guessed Bella must be shocked. Just now, he only wanted to test her because she had always tried to hide her feelings about his parents, and that’s why he didn’t say only his father wanted to meet her.

"...I mean, when my father asked to meet you, I immediately said that you would definitely refuse to meet him. But my father didn’t give up easily. He begged me repeatedly. So, would you spare him your time if he were the only one to meet you?" Tristan hurriedly explained after he saw her seem shaken by his words.

"Your father begged you to meet me?" Bella was taken aback. It was hard for her to believe that her arrogant father-in-law wanted to meet her so badly and apologize directly to her.

When she was still under the same roof as Tristan’s wife, Bella rarely saw her father-in-law, William Sinclair. Still, she always heard a lot of gossip about him from Noora. She remembered Noora told her that William Sinclair always spoiled his wife, Jessica.

Whatever and whenever Jessica asked for something, William would fulfill it. Bella believed William hated and treated her rudely because Jessica had asked him to.

Sometimes, when she sees William as Jessica’s obedient dog, she feels sorry for him. If only William knew what his wife had done, he might have thrown the manipulative woman in the trash bin.

Silently, Bella sighed deeply, remembering those past hard times.

...

Tristan felt terrible when he saw Bella not saying anything, and her eyes looked sad. From her expression, he guessed she was in a dilemma about answering his question.

"Wife, I wouldn’t force you to meet my father. You can think about it first and decide—"

"NO! I won’t meet him." Bella firmly refused William Sinclair’s request. Not because she didn’t want to hear his apology but because it would be troublesome if Jessica knew she met William without her.

Jessica Sinclair would become suspicious of her again and do something evil behind her back, such as conspiring with other women to steal her husband. Hell, she can’t imagine that!

Tristan was no longer surprised to hear Bella’s reply. He smiled at her, indirectly praising her for making a good decision. He also didn’t want his wife to meet his father, afraid she would be hurt again.

Bella’s smile barely appeared on the corner of her lips before she apologized to him for the refusal, "I’m really sorry, hubby. I just can’t meet him now. I’m not ready yet..."

"Do not say those words, dear. That’s your choice, and I respect every decision you make. Don’t feel bad about it."

"Thanks..." Her smile was no longer as stiff as before, and she could now feel relieved.

...

After a slow, intimate morning, they all rushed to Isaac’s house for breakfast with Aunty Emma.

They arrived just in time when breakfast was ready.

As usual, Dax was busy eating while all the adults chatted.

Isaac and Lewis Sinclair, who happened to join them, discussed their fishing plans on the lake at noon.
