The three immediately entered the house. Dax went back to his room to take a nap. Meanwhile, Bella and Tristan, who were just about to go upstairs to rest, were stopped by Alan, Lewis Sinclair’s butler.
"What’s wrong, Alan?" Tristan asked, sounding annoyed. He wanted to be alone with Bella, but Alan disturbed them.
"Young Master, Old Master called you. He said there was something important he needed to discuss with you," Alan explained.
Tristan’s forehead furrowed as he looked at Alan. "Please tell Grandpa I’m a little busy right now. I have something to do. We’ll talk after lunch," he refused, even though he could see Alan’s worried expression. But he still ignored it because there was something important he needed to discuss with Bella.
’Busy! What are you busy with?’ Standing next to Tristan, Bella could only smile silently when she heard Tristan’s words.
They had a lot of free time before lunchtime, and now Bella didn’t even know what she wanted to do because she suddenly changed her schedule—she didn’t go to her office. Taking a short nap looks like it would become her priority now.
"Sorry, sir. But, this is very important..." Alan paused as he glanced at Bella; he felt reluctant to tell Tristan about this matter, especially when Bella was around.
Looking at Alan, who seemed reluctant, Tristan became suspicious about something and asked, "What is it?"
Alan can’t help but inform him, "It’s about your parents."
Instantly, Tristan and Bella stiffened hearing that. For a moment, they exchanged glances as if communicating with each other through their gaze.
Tristan started to feel afraid when he saw Bella’s worried gaze. He decided not to prolong this matter any longer. He needed to take care of his parents soon.
Later,
Tristan held Bella’s shoulder gently before saying, "Bella, can you go up first? I have to meet Grandpa..."
"Mhm, sure... go talk with Grandpa. This must be important..." She smiled faintly, trying to tell him that she was okay.
Even though he was reluctant, Tristan finally nodded, "I’ll go upstairs immediately. You take a rest first. Please don’t work..." He knew Bella liked to work, but right now, he just wanted her to rest and recover her condition quickly.
Bella could only respond with a smile, hearing his words. She wasn’t used to getting that much attention from other people, especially Tristan.
...
Even though he was reluctant, Tristan followed Alan to his grandfather’s room.
When they entered, Tristan saw his grandfather sitting in a chair at the end of the room, engrossed in the view outside.
"Sir, please..." Alan gestured to Tristan to continue to enter the room.
"Grandpa," Tristan greeted his grandfather, who was unaware of his presence.
"Ah, Tristan. You’ve come. Sit, sit..." Lewis glanced at Tristan. Then he asked Alan to leave the two of them. However, after Alan left, Lewis didn’t immediately say anything. He just stared at Tristan with his firm expression, confusing Tristan.
