Chapter 22

At Fort City.

Dylan walks out of his office after receiving a sudden report from Max. He is thrilled and rushes to Tristan’s office.

After many years, they track Bella Donovan and finally find her. Just now, Max informs him that Bella Donovan has just entered the country.

At first, Dylan didn’t believe it because they had consistently failed to find her several years ago. But when Max sends him CCTV footage of Bella in the airport, he confirms that they have found her this time. Yes, she’s back!

This news is worth celebrating.

Dylan stopped right before the CEO’s office. He sighed deeply before knocking on the door, but he didn’t hear a response from inside.

He feels impatient. Just before he wanted to knock again, Tristan’s soft voice could finally be heard.

“Enter p>

Dylan excitedly opened the door, “Boss, she’s back p>

“Who?” Tristan Sinclair asked while scribbling his signature across stacks of papers.

“Your wife—” The assistant hesitated, watching Tristan closely. When he saw Tristan’s furrowed brows, he corrected himself. “Sorry, I mean your ex-wife, Ms. Donovan. She’s returned with a boy p>

Tristan sighed, eyeing the contract before him.

After five years of searching, only to find out she’s moved on, it feels hurt. But he couldn’t avoid it. She deserves happiness with someone else. He’ll take this loss.

“She deserves a new husband…” Tristan muttered, dismissing his assistant.

“Boss, what I meant was the cute little boy. I think he’s around four years old p>

Tristan snapped. His head up, fixing his sharp gaze on his assistant.

“I need you to arrange a DNA test for the kid. And get me her address p>

A glimmer appeared in his eyes as a smile slowly spread across his face. But the light in his eyes vanished instantly when he heard Dylan’s following words.

“B-Boss… Ms. Donovan is not in this city. She flew right away to her hometown,” Dylan said.

Tristan pondered momentarily, looking as if he was thinking about something.

When Dylan saw that Tristan didn’t say anything, he continued to explain the information he had just received from Max.

“She’s going back to East City!?” Tristan frowned. He was curious why she had come back and flown there right away. “Are you sure the kid who came with her is four years old p>

He wanted to believe that the kid was his son, but something confused him; why didn’t she call him if that was the case?

Countless questions now filled his mind. ‘Did she hide something from me? Did she get married after we divorced and get pregnant right away? Why did she rush to meet her family p>

The more Tristan thought about it, the more confused he became. However, not long after, he remembered what his grandpa had told him: Old Donovan was admitted to the hospital last month, and he is in critical condition.

‘She must be returning to East City for her grandpa, right!?’ he thought.

Tristan fixed his gaze again on Dylan. “Prepare my jet. We will fly there now. I need to meet her and find out who that child is. Is she staying at her parents’ house p>

“No. She is staying at the Star Hotel p>

Tristan was stunned.

Confusion arose again in his mind, ‘Shouldn’t she be living at her parents’ house?’ Tristan slightly shook his head. He dismissed Dylan to arrange everything and then continued to finish his work before flying to East City.

While at the Star Hotel in the East City, Bella settled in the presidential suite on the top floor.

The presidential suite room in this Star Hotel has two bedrooms, one master bedroom, a kitchen, and a vast living room. She needs a massive place as she has Noora, who will take care of Dax.

She didn’t plan to stay in this city for too long, so she chose to stay in this hotel instead of renting an apartment or buying a house. She avoided staying here for too long because her family—not even her grandpa—didn’t yet know about Dax. She plans to tell him after she meets him.

Bella led Sean to Dax’s bedroom. When she saw him place Dax on the bed, she felt a warmth inside her heart. This was not the first time Sean cared for her child, and she always felt happy whenever she witnessed their closeness.

“Thank you, Sean…” Bella smiled at him.

Later, they both settled in the spacious living room after Bella cleaned herself and changed her clothes. She is ready to visit her grandpa at the hospital.

“You said you will visit your grandpa at the hospital?” Sean asked when he saw her seated opposite.

“Yes. Sean, I need a car during my stay here. Can you not cancel my car rental p>

“Bells, there’s no need to rent. I’ll ask the staff hotel to provide a car and driver for you p>

Bella felt relieved hearing his offer. “Alright, I will not refuse your offer… Thank you p>

“But today, I will drop you at the hospital,” Sean said.

“Okay. But, how about your work?” Bella felt sorry for this man. He had to leave his duty only to pick them all up at the airport, which is why she didn’t want to tell him she would return today.

“I will return to my base camp after I drop you off at the hospital. When you finish, a driver from this hotel will pick you up p>

Bella nodded, agreeing with him. She said nothing else and stood up from her seat, ready to visit the hospital.

“Wait, you will go now? What about Dax?” Sean was confused.

Bella stopped her step and turned to look at Sean. “I didn’t intend to bring him now. Because my family, including Grandpa, don’t yet know about him p>

Sean was surprised. “You still don’t trust him?” He was puzzled because what he knew was that Bella and her grandfather had made up after she suddenly divorced and moved to Sweden.

“I trust him, but I don’t trust anyone around him. I will meet him first and then find a suitable time for him to meet Dax p>

Sean no longer asked anything, not wanting to make her feel sad again. He stood from his seat and followed her to the entrance.

However, when Bella and Sean were about to leave the hotel room, Dax’s voice suddenly stopped them.
