My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 41

Dax felt excited, waiting for his mother to answer his curiosity.

Bella smiled slightly as she ruffled Dax’s hair gently before saying, "Dax, I’m sorry I never talked to you about him before. Because it’s hard for me—" her voice trailed off as she felt something prick her heart.

"It’s okay, Mom. I understand," Dax replied with a warm smile. He didn’t want to see his mother sad, so he held her hands and tapped them gently.

Bella actually felt even more sad seeing how considerate her son was. She tried not to cry in front of him.

"Your father, he’s not dead, if you think maybe he is," Bella took another deep breath. She hadn’t expected it to be this difficult to talk about Tristan before Dax. "And he is also from this country."

Dax’s eyes lit up.

"But, my dear, I will not tell you his name for now," she said, only to see his eyes turn gloomy.

Dax didn’t know how to respond. He just nodded at his mother, even though he felt disappointed.

"I’m telling you this because, in a few days, you will probably meet your great-grandpa from your father’s side. So, I think by then, you will get to know a lot more about your father and his family," she says.

After saying those words, Bella felt the weight on her shoulders lifted. She couldn’t help but praise herself for overcoming her worries, even though she hadn’t said it in detail.

Dax was surprised to learn this. His smile widened, and the light in his eyes became even brighter. However, he is worried about hearing wrongly.

He repeated her mother’s words to ensure, "Mommy, you said I also would meet my great-grandpa from my father’s side?"

"Yes." Bella was amused at how excited her son was. It was the first time she had seen this side of him — he looked so cute with his spring-like smile.

She regrets not telling him about his father sooner.

"Are you that happy about meeting him in person?" Bella smiles while rubbing his chubby cheek.

Instantly, Dax’s smile fades, and his expression slowly changes to calm.

’Gosh!! He is back to Tristan-mode-on again, cold and distant.’ Bella laughed in her heart, looking at how fast her son’s expression changed.

"Yes. I’m excited to meet another family besides you and Grandma Noora. Thank you, Mom, for letting me meet Great-Grandpa Donovan. And... What was his first name again? You told me his first name a couple of weeks ago.

Can you tell me again, Mom?" He said in his calm, distant tone.

"Oh, nice try, little man." Bella chuckled while ruffling her hair. "I told you I will not name names now. If I did, I know you would search for him all night. And you probably would stay awake until morning. Remember, we should wake up early to visit your Great-Grandpa’s house tomorrow, and we need to look fresh. Only sleeps would make us fresh, remember?" She explains to him softly.

Dax, "...".

’Oh no…Mom knows my trick!?’ He silently sighs.

"Is there anything you want to ask before bed?" Bella asked again before returning to her bedroom.

Dax pondered for a moment. He wanted to ask many things, but he was sure that even if he asked, she would not answer because the question was relatively straightforward.

After a few moments, he sought a way to find only a little clue about his father. Something crosses his mind.

"Mommy, is my father a good man?"

"Of course, he’s a good man," Bella said sincerely. Even Tristan was very cold to her, but he never hit or scolded her. She only heard him say hurtful words the day she signed the divorce papers.
