Bella seemed to see her son’s dislike of the room from the look in his eyes.
She could only smile sympathetically at him while gently stroking his hair. Then, she leaned closer and whispered, "Baby, can you just accept it... And pretend that you like the room?"
Bella worried that Tristan would be disappointed if Dax were honest with him. She could sense happiness flash in Tristan’s gaze. Besides, she also felt touched by his effort to quickly provide this room for their son.
Dax blinked, looking at his mother, trying to understand her meaning.
"—Well, at least your daddy already made an effort to create this special room for you, dear..." She gently continued her words, trying to convince him.
"Hmm," Dax nodded and smiled at his mother before gazing at Tristan. "Dad... I like it," he said, smiling even though it seemed forced.
"I’m so happy you like the room, my son," Tristan said while ruffling Dax’s hair lovingly. "—All right, you can look around..." he continued before approaching Bella, who was standing near the window with her back facing them.
Tristan stood beside her, following her line of sight to the garden behind the house. When Bella looked up to see him, he turned to meet her eyes.
Looking at her calm gaze made Tristan say in his hushed voice, "He didn’t like this room, right?" The corners of his lips lifted, revealing a faint smile.
Earlier, he could see the dislike in Dax’s eyes, but he just pretended not to be aware of it.
Bella was rendered speechless. She felt sorry for him and could only nod slightly in response.
Tristan tugged his hand in his trouser pocket, sighed deeply, and turned his gaze back to the garden outside.
After a few more seconds, Bella said, "I told you before, he is different from the children the same age as him."
Bella follows his line of sight.
"Hmm, I just remembered that. Well, at least I still have another surprise for him. I hope this time, he will not be disappointed."
A smile slowly graced Tristan’s face again. He had already thought about it, so he prepared a backup plan to make his son happy.
Bella was surprised to hear his words. She turned to look at him in a hurry, "Another surprise?" she asked, puzzled.
Tristan nodded with a mysterious smile gracing his handsome face. Bella narrowed her eyes at Tristan, suspicious about what he had prepared for Dax.
Worry this man will disappointed again, she said, "Tell me before you give it to him. Afraid you will make a mistake again."
However, Tristan shook his head and refused to tell her.
Bella grew more suspicious. Before she could ask further, Dax approached her.
"Mommy, is my bag still in your car?" Dax asked. He wanted to check his iPad and contact his gaming friend.
"No, but it’s in my room. Baby, wait a minute, let me get it for you..." Bella immediately left the room.
Not long after, she reappeared carrying a black backpack and handed it to Dax.
