My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 94

"Yes. This is very important to me. Because mommy never told me even though I asked many times," Dax explained.

Once again, Tristan swallowed hard.

After a few moments of silence, Tristan finally started to speak, "I don’t know if you understand about arranged marriages. However, your mother and I got married because of that."

"I know that." Dax’s firm answer shocked Tristan.

"Y-You already know about your mother and me being matched?"

"Hmm... I know... I always hear Great Grandpa gossiping about you and Mom when I pretend to sleep."

Tristan, "...."

It looks like he needs to warn his Grandpa about it. He was afraid Dax would learn anything terrible from his Grandpa.

"You already know but still ask?" A faint smile appears on his lips.

Dax looks at Tristan silently before saying, "Dad, it looks like you didn’t hear my question. OK, I’ll repeat, why did you divorce my mom while she was pregnant?"

Tristan, "...."

Sigh!

Tristan can’t help but take another deep breath.

Now, Tristan understands what Geoffrey said; Dax is indeed the reflection of him. He will never stop to ask if what he wants to know hasn’t been answered. He will look for ways to find that answer until he is satisfied.

Now, he had no choice but to tell him the truth.

"—Your mother and I entered into an arranged marriage without any romantic feelings involved. Despite being married, we were unable to develop any love between us. This situation led to suffering for both of us. Eventually, I made the difficult decision to let her go and end our marriage..."

Tristan’s heart tensed as he saw Dax frown, fearing he might say something hurtful.

He carefully continued his words, "I decided to end the marriage so that your mother would be free... because only then could your mother find happiness."

"Why did you divorce her when she was pregnant?" Dax is having a hard time understanding this. "If you don’t love my mother, at least you didn’t let her go when she was pregnant, right!?"

Tristan’s face slowly darkened, imagining those moments.

"I know I made a big mistake by letting your mother go. But, I’m not going to defend myself by saying that I didn’t know she was pregnant at the time... Or saying she never told me." Tristan said.

"Mom, never told you?" Dax was suprised to know this. Another question arises. Why did his mother not let him know?

"Hmm, if I knew, I would never let her go. Even if she begged me, I wouldn’t let her," Tristan’s voice trembled as the emotional wall he had built crumbled.

No one knew that he had started to fall in love with Bella the moment she left, except for him. And soon, perhaps their son would know as well. It was hard to hide anything from him.
