"Wh-who are you? Why do you look so weird!?"

Bella could not recognize the reflection of her face in the mirror in front of her. The person in the mirror’s hair looked untidy and messy, while her cheeks were rosy and red as if she were wearing a heavy blusher.

She shook her head and turned on the tap, splashing her still-hot face with cold water.

After finishing her cleaning routine, Bella quickly walked to her walk-in closet to change clothes.

...

Later,

Bella paused in front of the mirror to check her appearance. She smiled, pleased with her choice of dress. The knee-length dark blue dress makes her skin look brighter.

However, upon seeing her hair, she could only shake her head and scold herself.

"I can’t believe it, Bella! Why are you exposing your long neck like that? Are you trying to make him turn on?" She reached up to undo her bun but then hesitated. "I wonder how he’ll respond to this!" A mischievous grin played on her lips as she imagined Tristan’s surprise.

Bella immediately left the walk-in closet and joined Tristan on the couch. However, she did not see him there; he stood by the window with his back facing her.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks when she realized that he had taken off his coat and was now only wearing a black shirt. He had rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing the well-defined muscles in his arms. His hands were tucked inside the pockets of his khaki pants.

As she looked at his broad shoulders, her heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and silently approached him. She was curious to know what had captured his attention so much that he hadn’t even noticed her by his side.

Upon following his line of sight, Bella’s smile gradually widened as she saw Dax playing on white sand with Noora and Geoffrey, building a sand castle with pure joy beaming on his face.

"I’ve never seen him this happy," Bella spoke softly, surprising Tristan.

Tristan looked at her and shuddered as he saw she styled her hair to expose her smooth neck.

"Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize you were done dressing..." he said, his throat suddenly dry as his mind tortured him with sultry thoughts.

"Hmmm..."

Bella answers him without shifting her gaze from Dax. "Gosh! Dax is such a hardworking little baby. He’s already finished his martial arts training this hour," she said faintly.

Tristan knew Bella was feeling sad again as she thought about their son being exhausted from physical training.

He tried to distract Bella. He placed his hand on her shoulder and turned her body towards the couch. He jokingly said, "Okay, ma’am... let’s sit down and chat."
