My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 37

"Sorry, Sean. I can’t unless you make your parents accept me and my son sincerely!"

Suddenly, Sean’s gloomy eyes lit up. "Are you serious? Will you marry me if they agree?"

"Yes, you have my word," Bella replied with a smile as she watched him rise from his seat and approach her.

"Thank you, Bella," Sean said as he sat beside her and pulled her into his arms. Bella was surprised, but she didn’t refuse. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him back.

Sean smiled as he said, "Please wait for me. I will convince them to accept you and Daxton."

The smile on her face slowly faded when she remembered her son. If Tristan learned about Dax and knew she would marry Sean, Tristan would probably do something to make things difficult for them, right?

Bella pushed Sean away. When she saw the confusion in his eyes, she immediately asked, "Sean, do you know who Dax’s father is?"

"Bells, maybe you won’t believe it, but I don’t know who he is. Even though several times I wanted to investigate your ex-husband," Sean smiled awkwardly. This was the first time they talked about this matter.

Sean noticed that Bella was silent and didn’t respond to his words.

So, he continues saying, "I’m so curious to know about the man who traumatized you and made you hesitate to remarry. Does he come from a rich and influential family? Can you tell me who he is?"

Bella appeared calm, though inside, she was anxious. "Dax’s father is Tristan Sinclair," she said, gazing into his eyes. She was curious if Sean knew Tristan.

Sean feels as if he was struck by lightning upon hearing the name. He curses inwardly, frustrated that of all the rich and influential men in the country, it had to be Tristan Sinclair.

"Did you know him?" Bella could see the trace of anger in Sean’s gaze.

After trying to hide his annoyance and anger, Sean nods to respond.

"Yeah, I know him, but not that close. Well, you could say everyone in this country knows him." Sean said calmly, but inside, he felt like a hurricane was brewing.

"Indeed," was the only word she managed to say, feeling awkward talking about her ex-husband with the man who loved her.

After a long silence, Sean said, "But my parent might know him slightly better. I remember Tristan Sinclair invited my parents to his wedding. So that must’ve been your wedding... And I remember my parents attended the private party—" his voice trailed off when he saw Bella’s face turn dark.

Bella slowly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

After some time, she said, "Sean, this is why I couldn’t accept your feelings earlier and avoided whenever you asked me about this matter. Because I knew the chance for your parents to accept me was none. They even came to my wedding, so they must have seen my face... how funny would it be if they knew that you now want to marry me? The ex Mrs. Sinclair—"

Bella paused momentarily to take a deep breath before continuing her words. "I’m a single mother. Tristan’s ex-wife. If he invites your parents to our wedding, it means... he is quite close to your family, right?"

Bella remembers that when she married, only a few people attended, all of whom were their closest family. If Tristan invites Sean’s parents, it means he already considers Sean’s parents to be his family.
