My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 63

63 /569

After the manager left the room, Bella finally had the courage to start the conversation with Tristan.

"You can ask anything you want, Tristan."

Tristan stared at her with a smile. "What is our..." He paused when his phone vibrated. When he saw the caller, he looked at Bella with an apologetic gaze. "I’m sorry, but I must pick up this phone first. Do you mind?"

She shook her head, "Sure, go ahead."

Tristan answered while his eyes were still on her, "Grandpa!? Why did you call?"

Suddenly, Bella became nervous upon realizing that the caller was Lewis Sinclair. She lowered her gaze and listened to their conversation in silence.

"BRAT! You know I’m back in town, but you don’t welcome me?" Lewis Sinclair snapped. "Why did you cancel our dinner plans without telling me? You have to give me a good reason why you canceled coming here..." Lewis Sinclair’s voice sounded so loud from the other end that Bella could hear it clearly.

Tristan opened his mouth to speak, but Lewis spoke again, "This is why I don’t want to return. Because you weren’t sincere in asking me to come back!"

Tristan put the phone away from his ears. His Grandpa’s voice was so loud it made his ears hurt.

"Hello... Tristan Sinclair... are you there? Why didn’t you answer me?"

"Grandpa, how can I speak if you don’t give me a chance!?" Tristan was amused hearing his Grandpa venting his anger.

Bella pretended to look at her cell phone but actually laughed silently at their conversation.

Lewis cleared his throat before saying, "Why did you suddenly cancel to come to my house? Are you more concerned about meeting other people than your grandfather?" His annoyance was still clearly heard in the tone of his old hoarse voice.

"Grandpa, my date tonight is also the most important person," Tristan smiled, hearing his own words. He couldn’t believe he had said that when Bella sat opposite him.

’You are so bold, man...’ He chuckled inwardly. However, his smile vanished as he felt a pair of sharp eyes fixed on him.

Tristan turned to look at Bella and was taken aback by the intensity of her gaze. He rested his back against the chair and rubbed his forehead with one hand while avoiding eye contact with her.

"Stop talking about dating. Why do you keep meeting women who are only interested in your wealth and power?" Lewis asked, feeling angry. He was getting tired of reading news about Tristan’s girlfriends. If this Brat didn’t stop now, Bella would never return to like him.

"Did you know your reputation out there is getting worse? Almost all media and netizens say you are a Cassanova! And that is NOT a compliment, young man!" Lewis continued.

Tristan was speechless. He couldn’t let his grandfather talk about something that wasn’t true.

"Grandpa, please stop reading gossip news. Alright, I will call you later. My date is hungry..." He said while smiling at Bella, who was still glaring at him.

"Who? Who is the woman you are having dinner with?" Lewis asked curiously.

Tristan couldn’t help but take a deep sigh. He leaned closer to Bella and whispered, "Can I tell him?"

Bella didn’t have a choice. She could only nod while scolding herself for meeting him now. If she knew he had a dinner plan with his Grandpa, she would have set another day to meet him.
