My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 38

After a long silence, Sean asked, "If... only my mother allows us to get married, will you accept?"

"I’m sorry, Sean. I can’t." Bella stated firmly. "I wish your parents would accept me and my son sincerely, without any conditions." She didn’t want to repeat her past mistakes by marrying into a toxic family like Tristan’s.

Sean sighed softly after hearing the answer. He said nothing because he suspected Bella’s marriage to Tristan didn’t seem happy.

Bella smiled as she heard him sigh deeply. She gazed at him momentarily, teasing him, "Oh, Mr. Spencer... giving up already?"

Sean sat up straight again and tilted his body slightly to see her face clearly.

"Bells, giving up is not an option for me. No matter how hard the road may be, I will pursue my goals." He said firmly.

"I like your enthusiasm. You will have my prayer, Sean."

"As you should!" Sean patted the top of her head gently while smiling.

However, Sean’s smile disappeared as he remembered that he wouldn’t be able to meet his parents anytime soon. So, Bella will have to wait a bit longer.

"Bells, I’m afraid you will have to wait a little longer."

"What do you mean?" Bella asked, confused.

"I have to fly to the Middle East tonight. It’s an assignment that I can’t discuss with you. Not even the slightest detail," Sean said apologetically before flashing a smile.

"I don’t know how long we’ll stay there because this is an undercover mission. We have to—" his voice hung in the air as he realized he was talking too much about his secret mission.

When he saw her confused, he continued, "But I promise you, I will try to contact you if I have the opportunity."

Sean said that to keep Bella from getting upset or worried. Even though he knew that he wouldn’t have the chance to do so because, during a secret mission, he wouldn’t be able to contact anyone, including his family, because if their enemies found out, they would target them.

Bella tried to contain her shock, knowing they would be separated for a while.

"Sean, I understand your situation. Please never be worried about me. I’m fine on my own, and I will patiently wait for you here," Bella smiled to make him feel better. "So, can you tell me how long you will be on the mission?"

"Yeah, that I can. I’m not really sure at this point. I’d say around six months. I hope it can be accomplished sooner. But the possibility that it may take longer than that is also still open..." Sean let out another long sigh.

Sean had never felt this way before. He was always excited about his mission. But now? He felt terrible for the first time. It feels awful when a woman promises to give him a chance to own her heart, but he can’t do that right away because he has to go on a mission. It feels sucks!

Meanwhile, Bella felt her heart sink when she heard they would be separated for that long. She thought he would only be gone for a few weeks.
