My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 72

"Why did you agree to move here? Did you fight with Jack?" she asked earnestly. Bella thought that was the only reason that could make Leo leave the head office to move here.

"It looks like Jack hasn’t told you—" Leo sighed deeply.

"So you did fight with him?" Bella was suprised. She is starting to be afraid what she said was true.

Leo shook his head before saying, "Of course not. I just broke up with my girlfriend. I couldn’t stay there because she would come back after me, so I immediately agreed when Jack offered me to become your assistant."

Bella, "..."

She didn’t expect him to move here just because of his breakup.

Gosh, this man was odd.

Bella can’t send him back to New York now. She had only prepared herself to work with him.

’Ugh... well... at least you no longer see him like you did a few years ago. Just bear with his eccentric personality, and you will be fine...’ She reminded herself.

...

"And you, why you suddently return to the company?" Leo narrowed his eyes at her.

He knew Bella never wanted to be involved in management because she had a rich husband. That’s why she always refused to come back.

However, two years ago, he heard she finally agreed to return and take over their business in this country.

"Because that foolish Jack forced me..." Bella wanted to say that but stopped, remembering that Leo would lecture her with his wisdom. Gosh!

She smiled at him before asking, "You know I’m a single mother, right?"

Leo’s calm expression changed instantly. He sat up straight and looked at Bella in shock. "Y-You... you have a child?"

"Hmm, I have a son. That’s why I need to earn money. And Jack offered me a decent amount of money to care for our business in this country. So yeah—" She didn’t continue her words, just shrugged her shoulders with a faint smile across her face.

Leo was lost for words hearing that. He knew that Bella was divorced but had never heard that she actually had a son with her ex-husband.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to understand her feelings now. But looking at how calm she was caused him to be curious about something. After a while, he asked, "Wasn’t your ex-husband wealthy? Why did you divorce him!?"

"Yeah, he is indeed super rich," Bella said, slightly shaking her head. She didn’t want to talk about Tristan now. "Leo, even though my ex was wealthy, it wasn’t the reason for me to stay with him if we had no destiny to be together. I didn’t need his wealth to raise my son. Because I can earn myself—"

"No. That’s not what I mean," Leo stopped her. "—if you had a child, why divorce? Did he mistreat you?"

"Leo, can we drop talking about this?" Bella faintly said. Then, she took a deep breath to lessen her tightened chest. "Let’s talk about the company. Give me a summary of what you found in a few days of working here."

Leo’s angry expression returned to calm. His professional attitude no longer overshadowed his annoyance hearing that one of his best friends seemed to have been hurt by her ex-husband.
