My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back
Chapter 552: In East City For The Wedding Ceremony
Be and her family arrived in East City at night.
They headed to their new house after dropping her mother off at her house. Be was thrilled to learn about their new house, as Tristan had only given her limited information about it. He had only told her the house was close to her childhood home.
As they left her mother’s front yard, their car didn’t head back to the main gate. Instead, it veered onto a new road, a path Be had never seen before.
’Since when did they build a new road here?’ she wondered while looking outside. Thest time she visited this house was when her father died, and she remembered there was no road there.
Be was surprised to realize their new house was right next to her parents’ house.
A smooth street connected the two houses, just as her house at Little Heaven had an alley linked to her Grandpa’s house.
She knows who owned that massive house before the number one rich man in the city. They wouldn’t sell any property, being already rich enough and not in need of money—unless someone forced them to sell, of course.
Be began to wonder, ’How could they sell the house?’ A sudden thought crossed her mind as she finally caught sight of the house in the distance. She nced at Tristan, who was sitting beside her.
’Could it be that Tristan forced them to sell it to him?’ she thought. That seemed the only reasonable exnation for why the homeowner would be willing to sell their property.
A faint smile slowly formed on her face as she saw a beautiful two-story white house with a stunning garden adorned with yellow garden lights.
With the limited light, she couldn’t see the entire front yard, but she was sure the garden was simr to their house garden in the capital.
Carrying her daughter, Be entered the house with Tristan, holding Oliver in his arms. Leaning closer to him, she asked, "Did you force the owner of this house to sell it to you?"
Tristan chuckled as he walked toward the stairs, heading to the second floor to put the sleeping twins in their bedroom.
"I’m not forcing him to sell, but I exchanged it with a property that made him agree immediately," Tristan finally responded to her after putting Oliver in his crib.
Be frowned, looking at him, confused by his answer. "What kind of property did you give him? Why did he sell this house to you?" she asked.
Tristan didn’t answer Be immediately but made sure the twins sleptfortably before he led her out of the room. Closing the door gently, he smiled at his curious wife.
"Why are you looking at me like that, dear?" Tristan chucked.
"You look suspicious. Why bother spending so much money on a house we rarely visit?" She narrowed her eyes on him.
Tristan touched her cheek and asked, "Can we discuss itter? We must have dinner with your family and Dax downstairs, right?"
Be hurriedly nods.
"You are right, hubby. Hurry...hurry," she said, taking his hand and leading him to the stairs.
She was grateful that Geoffrey and a few chefs and staff from their house had already flown ahead to prepare for their arrival.
When they arrived at the first floor, Be was happy to see her mother and Henry sitting in the living room with Dax. They seemed to be engrossed in conversation and didn’t notice their presence.
"Mom, sorry to keep you waiting," Be said, approaching them. She sat beside Dax and then nced at Henry, briefly smiling at him.
"We’ve just arrived. Were the twins still asleep?" Natalie asked.
"Hmm, they are sleeping soundly. Waking them up during our flight here worked," Be chuckled, recalling how they tried not to let Oliver and Aurora sleep on the ne. She turned to her brother. "I’m d you joined us for dinner, bro."
"Thank you, sis. How could I miss this dinner when my Brother-inw invited me?" Henry expressed his happiness.
Be and Tristan briefly returned his smile before discussing Emma and Archy’s wedding ns.
They will visit Emma’s house tomorrow to join the family for dinner.
The wedding ceremony will be held in Emma’s backyard the day after tomorrow. The party will only be attended by close family and a few Donovan Group board members.
Be will not be too busy with the wedding preparation, as she will only attend the party. Still, her mother might be too busy helping her aunt.
"Mom, so you will go there early tomorrow morning?" Be asked.
Natalie nods, "Yes. I feel bad because I cannote earlier to help Emma."
"It’s okay, mother," Henry chimed in. "Aunty Emma understands you are preupied with helping my sister look after the twins."
"Yes, Mom. There’s no need to feel bad about it. Besides, I hear my uncle’s wife also helps Aunty Emma..." Be added.
One of the exciting things Be looked forward to at her Aunt Emma’s wedding was that she would meet her uncles, Jacob and Thomas Donovan.
After thest shareholder meeting at the Donovan Group, when she removed her uncles from thepany, she never talked with them again. Even at her father’s funeral, she ignored them both.
"You are right, but still, I have to be there tomorrow morning," Natalie said with a faint smile.
Later, Natalie remembered Henry’s girlfriend. She nced at Henry and asked about his girlfriend, Aria Foster, and whether she would join them for dinner tomorrow.
Hearing about it piqued Be’s curiosity. She looked at Henry and smiled when she saw his shy gaze.
"Sis, I have a girlfriend," Henry shyly said.
"I know," Be chuckled, "Mom already told me about her. You can bring her to dinner if Aunty allows you..." She wanted to meet her future sister-inw.
"Thank you, sis." A relieved smile appeared on his lips before he continued, "Aunty Emma asked her toe. So she will be there tomorrow."
"I’m looking forward to meeting my future sister-inw..."
The three continued to talk about the party while Tristan and Dax, busy, spoke about something in the corner.
Not long after, Noora appeared to announce that dinner was ready.
