My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 516

Bella didn’t stay long in Dax’s room because the cute boy rested his head on the pillow and immediately fell asleep. One of the things she envied about her son was that he could sleep so fast and almost anywhere.

When Bella arrived downstairs, she was surprised to see Geoffrey appear with Carlos Montana.

"Carlos, you’re here? I thought you weren’t coming. Thank you for coming," Bella was confused to see him appear when the lunch gathering had ended an hour before.

"Hello, Bella. I’m sorry I couldn’t come on time. I was about to leave the hospital when suddenly I had an emergency surgery called. Well, I called Tristan earlier, but he didn’t answer my phone. He must’ve been swamped with the guests." Carlos said apologetically

"It’s okay, Carlos. Yeah, Tristan was probably busy talking with every guest. People told me it has been a while since Tristan had a soiree." Bella smiled at him. "And please, Carlos. You don’t have to apologize; saving a life is paramount compared to other things. So, thank you for coming even when you were quite busy saving lives at the hospital."

Carlos delightfully smiled back at her praise before asking, "By the way, Bella, where’s Dax? I brought a gift for him." He pointed to the shopping bag in Geoffrey’s hand.

"I’m sorry, Carlos, but Dax had just taken his evening nap upstairs. You shouldn’t trouble yourself by bringing a gift for Dax, Carlos. You don’t have to..."

Bella usually asks for gifts from Jack and Harper because they are so close to her. But for other people, she feels terrible about letting them bring something, especially if the gift is expensive.

"Hahaha, no need to be sorry, Bella. The Birthday Boy must’ve been very tired after the party. This is my first time giving Dax a gift. Please don’t refuse it—it’s not expensive either. Tristan told me how you hated expensive gifts," Carlos explained.

"Alright. Only this time, I will accept. Thank you so much, Carlos," Bella smiled at him. "Alright, let’s go in the hall. The other guests are still there. But, if you want to eat something, let me ask Geoffrey—"

"No need, Bella. I already had my late lunch in the car. I came because I just want to meet Dax and Tristan."

Bella said nothing more as she led Carlos to enter the party hall.

"Oh, wow! Tristan invited the president, Jayson Spencer, to Dax’s birthday party?" Carlos whispered to Bella.

"Well, this is more like a family and friends gathering instead of a birthday party."

"Tsk! Tristan Sinclair is such a big shot in this country!" Carlos shook his head and approached Tristan.

Bella smiled happily as she saw her friends, Tristan’s friends, and her entire family chatting with each other.

She felt grateful to witness such a sight.

A week later, after Dax’s birthday, the air in Fort City felt colder and cloudier, causing Bella to go out rarely. Even though she had lived in a cold country for over five years, she still hated this season.
