"Tristan Sinclair, oh dear... So it’s true you have a son!?" Jessica asked.
But Tristan didn’t respond to Jessica’s words, not even giving her a quick glance. He ignored her, his eyes fixed on William.
Frustrated with her son, Jessica turned to see her husband and saw how mixed her husband’s expression had been.
William was not only shocked but also confused. His eyes met Tristan’s calm gaze. When Tristan smiled faintly at him, William felt his heart suddenly warm.
Finally, for the first time since his son had grown up, this was the first time William Sinclair could see that smile again—the warm smile of his only son, who he thought was growing further away from him.
Trying to suppress his happiness at the moment, knowing that his son could show his warm side, William cleared his throat before asking again to confirm what he was thinking: The woman his son said was his wife must be Arabella Donovan.
"Tristan, you said earlier... is your marital status with her still valid in the eyes of the law? How could that happen?" William asked. He was confused because he knew Bella had already signed their divorce papers five years ago.
"Who? Who is the woman you said is your wife!?" Jessica asked Tristan, but he still ignored her, his eyes still staring at William. She turned her gaze again to her husband.
"Will, who is the woman? You already know who she is, right? Tell me... Do I know her?" Jessica grabbed her husband’s hand and asked for his attention. But, just like Tristan, William also ignored her.
Jessica felt even more annoyed. She had a strong urge to give William and Tristan a scold, but she resisted when she heard Tristan say something.
"Because I never processed that paper to the court..." Tristan answered his father casually.
William was shocked to hear that. He never imagined Tristan hadn’t submitted the letter to the court.
’Why did he do that? Did he agree to divorce her because he never loved Bella!?’ William wondered, his eyes still fixed on Tristan. A few seconds passed, and William couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He asked again, "Why did you do that? You didn’t love her, right?"
"Because—" Tristan’s voice trailed off when Jessica screamed, distracting him.
"STOP! You two answer me first! Tristan Sinclair... Who is your wife? Tell me. I need to know, and also..." Jessica paused for a moment to get some air to fill her stuffy chest.
She feels utterly angry at that moment.
When Jessica saw her husband and Tristan now looking at her, she continued, "I have to meet my grandson, Tristan. Bring me to meet him immediately... I need to make sure that boy is really your son!"
Tristan secretly let out a long sigh, hearing his mother’s words. He wouldn’t allow her to see his son, Dax, until Bella allowed it.
"Mother, I’m sorry, but my wife didn’t allow you and Father to meet our son. So, I can’t bring you to meet him."
Tristan’s words sounded like punishment for Jessica. Making her even angrier.
"WHAT!?" She couldn’t help but roar, "Who is your wife? How dare she not allow us to meet our grandson? Who the hell does she think of herself?"
Tristan, "..."
If this woman were not his mother, he would have already cut ties with her. How could she say such hurtful words? Whoever his wife is, she deserves respect from her mother-in-law.
Now Tristan could relate to how hurt Bella felt whenever his mother said hurtful things. Sigh!
