My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 560

Bella approached the sitting area and settled right beside Jack Foster.

"Boss Jack, I’m a mother of three, and there are so many things I need to do before I can get away from them, especially my twins. So, please forgive me..." Bella shrugged deliberately, conveying a sense of sadness that made Jack look at her with concern.

"I’m just kidding, Bella. Please don’t be sad, okay?" Jack tried to coax her.

"Same to you. I was just teasing you," she grinned, which made him roll his eyes.

"Alright, alright, enough about me. Now, tell me about your feelings. Do you feel any better? Or are you still annoyed and gloomy she’s forever someone else’s?" Bella asked.

She didn’t want to bring this matter up again after their conversation at Harper’s wedding, but the sadness in his gaze made her worry.

’Heaven! Why was Jack still not over his annoyance at Harper marrying the man she loved?’ Bella silently took a deep sigh.

"Bella, you won’t believe what Jack told me," Leo suddenly said, smiling when he noticed Jack glare at him. Ignoring Jack, he turned to Bella and continued, "Jack actually plans to kidnap Harper."

"Damn it! I knew it..." Bella shot a look at Jack. "I’ve known you too long, Jack; you’re so predictable. Tsk... Tsk... No wonder you avoided me for a few days. You must have put much effort into making this plan, huh?"

Jack sighed deeply before responding to Bella and Leo.

"Hey, c’mon, guys. You know that’s just my crazy talk, right? Of course, I won’t do it. I’m not insane. Uhm, would you mind stopping talking about it, Bella?" Jack asked politely, but Bella locked her intense gaze on him.

"Jack Foster, if I didn’t threaten you not to do it, you might have gone through with it, right?"

Instead of answering her, Jack asked, "Wait. Seriously, how do you know?" When he noticed her roll her eyes, he added, "Did Stefan tell you?"

"Oh my, that stupid Stefan knows about it too?" Bella was taken aback. "So, he’ll help you?" her mind started to make a plan to scold Stefan later.

"Good! At least I know Stefan is loyal to me and knows to keep his mouth shut." Jack’s expression transformed into a smile. "The idea of stealing her was just a joke, alright? Please don’t take it too seriously. You know me; I wouldn’t do that." He explained, noticing her still sharp look.

"I’m telling the truth, Bella. How could I risk my reputation for something stupid!?"

Bella felt a sense of relief as she looked at Jack, appreciating the sincerity in his words.

"I will believe you now. But I suggest you take your time in finding a new wife, Jack. Make sure you choose the right woman this time." She felt terrible for him since he was the only one in their group without a partner.

"I’m not rushing," Jack replied with a smile, absentmindedly spinning his cell phone between his fingers. "I will devote my time to the company and shower all my nephews with gifts." He paused, narrowing his eyes at Leo. "By the way, do you know whether your child is a boy or a girl yet?"

Leo smiled mysteriously, glancing back and forth between Jack and Bella. "Only very few people know. I won’t tell you guys. Well, not yet. I’m waiting for the right moment."

"What?! But you have asked me to be your child’s godfather. How could you not involve me in the most important aspect of godfathering a child?" Jack protested, narrowing his eyes at Leo, who only responded with a noncommittal smile.

"Oh, I see what you’re doing, Leo. Alright, just text me the gender if you don’t want Bella to know," Jack said calmly.

Bella almost laughed at Jack’s comment. "Oh, Jack, you are so clueless. Do you really want to know?" she asked.

"Wait, you are among the very few who know?" Jack’s eyes lit up as he turned to Bella.

"Apparently, yeah."

"No way!" Leo exclaimed, surprised that Bella already knew the gender of his child. "Did Dana tell you behind my back?"
