Bella held hands with Dax as they headed to his bedroom.
She could feel her son glancing at her a few times, but Bella ignored him because she was busy trying to calm her mind after what happened inside Tristan’s office.
However, before they enter his bedroom, Dax’s innocent voice echoes, surprising Bella and causing her to blush to hear his question.
"Mommy, did you and Daddy finally get back together..." Dax’s innocent voice slowly faded when he glanced at his father behind and saw him shake his head as if to answer his question, "No."
Dax sighed to himself, feeling sorry that his father had not succeeded in winning his mother’s heart.
Bella became even more embarrassed when she heard Dax’s question. She cleared her throat slightly as she glanced at him. When their eyes met, she leaned closer to him. "Baby, let’s talk inside," she whispered. Something important she needed to talk to him about.
Little Dax nodded at his mother, even though he was slightly confused when he saw his mother’s expression, which was different from usual. Now, she looked confused and tense.
After they entered Dax’s room, Bella stopped and turned to face Tristan, who was still following them from behind.
"I’m sorry, can you wait outside? I need to talk with Dax… alone."
Tristan is confused by her words, but he smiles and nods in the end.
"Sure, Bella. I will wait downstairs. Please don’t forget we will have dinner at seven."
"Ok. Thanks..."
Tristan waved and smiled at Dax before leaving.
Even though Tristan was curious why Bella wanted to talk to Dax without his presence, he didn’t protest or ask anything about it. So he left with his mind filled with countless questions, hungry for answers. But Tristan vowed not to let himself be drawn by his curiosity and foil any hope to get Bella’s heart and mind.
Tristan halted at the sight of Geoffrey near the stairs before he descended to the first floor.
"Geoffrey, since when did my son finish his computer studies?"
"Around five minutes ago, sir. Young Master Dax insisted on seeing you and his mother. He said he would look for you and his mother by himself if I refused to tell him where you were, sir. So I have to let him know that his mother is in your study room," he answers.
Geoffrey was slightly worried he made a big mistake, coming to his study room at the wrong time and making his master angry.
Earlier, Geoffrey had only briefly seen Tristan and Bella standing so close. But he immediately could guess what was happening in that room.
Although Geoffrey was worried that he had ruined his master’s moment, he still felt delighted because his master had made significant progress.
"Master, apologize if I bother you earlier," Geoffrey said while bowing his head slightly.
