Semua Bab The Billionaire's Runaway Ex-Wife : Bab 501 - Bab 510

After some time, Bella and Sia went for a walk together in the garden, enjoying the calm surroundings. Bella looked at Sia and said without wasting, “I didn’t like you much at first. To be honest, I still don’t like you all that much. But I’m trying to make an effort, for my grandson’s sake.”Bella had many reasons for not liking Sia. The main one was that Bella didn’t trust anyone who didn’t have her or her husband’s blood in their veins. She only liked a few people, and Sia was definitely not one of them. Another reason was that Sia had made Leon miserable by being absent from his life for so many years. Bella had watched her grandson suffer, be stuck on someone who didn’t seem to care. Even now, Sia holds so much power in their relationship. Leon would do anything for her, and it hurt Bella to see him like that. She wanted love to guide their relationship not her grandson’s desperation and definitely not Sia’s will and mood. The third reason was that Sia had taken up so much of A

“Hello, I’m here to meet Callum Hart,” the young woman said politely as she stood at the door.“Do you have an appointment?” the housekeeper Martha asked while giving her a cautious look.“Miss Alessia Swift sent me,” the woman explained. “She needs Mr. Hart’s signature for some important papers about his lab funding.”Hearing voices, Anne’s voice came from inside. “Martha, who is at the door?”“There is a young lady here asking for Mr. Callum,” Martha replied.Anne walked over, curious. As she reached the door and saw the visitor was strikingly beautiful, she smiled warmly. “Hello, dear. Who might you be?”“I’m Serafina King,” the woman said, offering a polite smile. “Miss Swift asked me to come since Mr Hart couldn’t be reached. The papers are urgent and related to his lab funding.”“Oh, I see,” Anne replied with a nod. “That does sound important.”Serafina smiled again and said, “Yes, ma’am, it is.”Anne paused, studying her for a moment. “Are you, by any chance, related to Geoffry

“Did she talk about me?” Sebastian asked eagerly.As soon as Serafina reached her car, she called her brother back. She was annoyed.“Can you stop blowing up my phone with texts?” Serafina said, exasperated. He was not going easy on her. While she was at the breakfast table, he texted her ten times in two minutes. “Come on, Fina, be easy on me,” Sebastian replied with a laugh. “Did she say anything about me?”“No, she didn’t even mention you,” Serafina answered flatly. “She just came to invite me to breakfast because her mom asked her to. When she was at our house, she was stiff and polite. But I noticed at home, that she is actually quite cool and funny.”“Is she?” he asked, his tone curious. “What’s she like at home?”Serafina shrugged, though Sebastian couldn’t see her. “She is Alessia Swift’s best friend, for starters. And she has two sets of parents—her biological ones and her uncle and his wife, who raised her. She is super attached to her family. Oh, and she has like five sibl

“Hi,” Callum said softly, his voice filled with hesitance. “Thank you for meeting me.”In the quiet corner of a small café, Callum sat on one side of the table while Estelle sat on the other. She looked worn out, her hair uncombed and her figure covered in a shabby night suit. Her face carried the marks of exhaustion and despair, and Callum couldn’t help but notice she had put on a little weight since he had last seen her. He guessed it was likely from seeking comfort in comfort foods while trying to drown out her pain.He was aware of her eating disorder and also how during sadness, she could only eat sugar and nothing else. “What do you want?” she asked, her tone weary and edged with bitterness. Before he could respond, she added sharply, “If you are here to tell me how much you hate me, or what a terrible person I am, don’t bother. I already know.”If it was a normal time, she would have bore his hate for her. But now she was done with everyone hating her. Hell, even she hates her

Sia was on FaceTime with Charlotte, comfortably seated in Leon’s office while he attended a meeting in the next room. Through the glass wall, he would occasionally glance at her, as if checking to make sure she was doing okay.“How is Miss Taylor and Mr. Hart’s search for a potential groom going?” Sia asked, her tone light and amused.Charlotte let out a dramatic sigh. “Oh, they have taken it so seriously that it’s practically become a full-time project. Every day, they sit together and discuss potential candidates like it’s some kind of corporate merger. And now, even Grandma and Grandpa have joined the Nicholas-Sabrina alliance.”Sia burst out laughing. “I take it Uncle Nathaniel and Ma aren’t thrilled about it?”Charlotte shook her head. “Not at all. They are old-school romantics. They want me to fall in love first and then get married as if that’s something you can just plan. Like love is supposed to conveniently show up at my doorstep.”Sia leaned closer to the screen as her voic
