However, when Bella and Sean were about to leave the hotel room, Dax’s voice suddenly stopped them.

"Mommy, where are you going?" Dax’s adorable baby voice sounds from behind.

Bella turned to look at him. Her smile grew wider when she saw Dax, with his messy hair, standing near his bedroom door. He rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.

Dax only wore black pajamas, showing his rather large stomach. Seeing him now made Bella’s heart waver because he looked like a toddler only when he woke. How adorable!

Bella walked back to him and half knee to match his eyes.

"Baby, you’re finally awake. I’m going to visit your great-grandfather," she said, rubbing his cheek. "You’re waiting for Mom here with Grandma Noora, okay..."

Bella continued her words when she saw him pouting as if he didn’t like her idea.

"Daxton, stay here with Grandma Noora for a while. I promise I will come back as soon as possible."

...

Until now, Dax has refrained from asking his mother about other family members, including his father. So far, his mother has only mentioned his great-grandfather.

Since the previous year, when Dax knew they would return to Astington, he had finally been excited to meet this familial figure. But hearing his mother didn’t plan to bring him now to meet great-grandpa, he felt worried.

He shook his head, "Mommy, I want to follow you. Please take me to meet my great-grandpa. I promise I will behave well." His tone reflected sadness as he looked his mother in the eyes.

Bella held his shoulder gently before saying, "Baby, of course, Mom will bring you to meet great-grandpa, but not now. I need to check his condition first..." Bella patiently explained.

"You were aware your great-grandpa was sick, right?" She asked.

"Hmm, I know... but—" Dax’s voice faded when his eyes looked at the man standing behind his mom. The light in his eye glows, and a smile slowly appears on his lips.

"Uncle Sean, you come..." Dax rushed to Sean and hugged him.

Bella chuckled when she saw Dax’s sadness fade. Watching Dax’s rare, wide smile left her speechless — her adorable little son only smiled like this when he saw Sean.

"Little man, I miss you..." Sean lowers his head to meet his gaze, then carries him in his arms.

"I miss you more, uncle. Why did you never visit us again?"

Before Sean could respond, Bella said, "OK baby, go inside. Mom has to go now..." she said as he tried to take Dax from Sean, but Dax refused. She frowned.

"Mom, let me follow you. I want to play longer with Uncle Sean..." Dax said as he put his arms around Sean’s neck, afraid they would leave him behind.

Bella, "…"

"Please, Mom… I promise I won’t ask to meet Great-Grandfather today, but I want to play with Uncle..." Dax begged Bella with a twinkle in his eye.

Bella was amused by her son’s pitiful expression. This was a rare sight because her son never revealed his toddler side like he was doing now; he only behaved like this when Sean was around. However, she would not bring him.
