My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 68

Bella remained silent, feeling the sharp gaze of both of them now fixed on her.

’Gosh, Dax! Can you not expose me again!?’ Bella sighed deeply while maintaining her smile before she started eating her breakfast.

Isaac Donovan smiled at Bella, trying to ignore them. He couldn’t blame her for being too protective of Dax. She had never taken Dax out of the small village where they had lived for five years, fearing that Sinclair would find out about him.

Isaac cleared his throat to break the awkward silence and told Dax, "When it gets warmer, I can teach you how to swim in the backyard pool."

Dax, looking at Isaac with a calm expression. "It’s fine, Gramps. I don’t really like physical outdoor sports. I prefer indoor activities, like playing chess or disassembling and assembling any electrical and computer instruments…"

Bella, "..."

She remained silent, merely continuing to eat her breakfast while listening to their conversation.

When she finished and wanted to excuse herself to go to the office, Lewis asked for a moment to chat alone.

"Don’t worry, dear... I only need five minutes. You won’t be late to go to your office," Lewis assured her when he saw her checking her watch.

Bella smiled and nodded. She could see worry flash through Lewis’s gaze, causing her own concern to rise.

She led him to her grandpa’s home office. "Grandpa Lewis, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Lewis didn’t immediately speak; he only stared at Bella across from him with a concerned gaze. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

After a few seconds, Lewis finally asked, "Are you really going to work now? May I know where your work is, if you don’t mind?"

Lewis felt sorry to learn that Bella had to work again. If she needed money, he would give it to her; she didn’t have to work and leave her son alone at home.

Bella was relieved to hear Lewis’s question. She had thought he would ask about her date last night with Tristan, a topic she didn’t want to discuss at the moment.

"Grandpa, I work for a small company. You might not have heard of it. The company’s name is Quantum Capital. We’re relatively new here, focusing on investments in small businesses and various ventures within the country," Bella explained.

Lewis was surprised. He had never come across the name Quantum Capital before. Given her outstanding educational background, he assumed Bella would be working for a larger multinational corporation.

With a bachelor’s degree in economics from the country’s top university and a scholarship to Stanford University for her Master of Business Administration, he expected her to be involved with a more prominent firm. But he was wrong.

’Why did she choose to work for a small company? Why not assist Donovan Group instead?’ Lewis pondered.
