"Yes, dear?"
"I need to give my mom a house tour. Can you play with Dax so I can be with mom alone?"
Knowing his plan to distract his mother had worked, Dax’s smile widened, but he relaxed for only a second, worrying his mother might squeeze him again.
Then, Dax looked at his father, waiting for his reaction. As if sending a warning to his father, "Dare to refuse, and I will take my revenge, Dad—"
Tristan smiled at Dax before responding to Bella, "Sure, dear. You can go now." He rubbed her cheek lovingly before continuing, "But don’t take too long, darling. Don’t forget I also miss my wife." His eyes looked at her warmly.
Bella rolled her eyes when she saw his sultry gaze, like a fire burning in them.
She immediately stood and approached her mother and the others.

Bella smiled at the two older men before her, who were frowning at her.
"Stop scaring my mother with your past stories and recent news. Can’t you see it? My mother is almost crying." Bella said it in a casual tone. Still, the two elders looked surprised to hear that.
They both turned their gaze, looking at Natalie. They felt guilty when they noticed her eyes were blurry and realized how insensitive they had been. She was indeed almost crying.
"Sorry, Natalie darling," Isaac said, stroking his mustache. He felt terrible for reminding his daughter-in-law of his useless son. Even though Lucas is his own son, he supports Natalie’s plan to divorce him.
"Ugh, dear Natalie, I’m really sorry. This old man might’ve said too much," Lewis chimed in.
Natalie was speechless. She felt amused looking at the two older men before her who felt guilty.
"Hahaha, Father, Uncle Lewis, I’m fine—" Natalie said awkwardly before turning her gaze to Bella.
"All right, Mom, let’s go check your place to stay," Bella said while holding her mother’s hand. "Grandpa, please excuse us—"

After speaking with Tristan last night and requesting a place for her mother, Bella was pleased to hear that he had provided her mother with a small house at the back of their property. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Tristan had asked his team to quickly clean and rearrange the furniture in the house so her mother could stay there starting today. She was grateful that the house was ready a few hours ago, just before their plane landed.
Bella and Natalie walked side by side towards the back wing of the main house.
