The atmosphere in the living room felt cold and dark as if the two elders had just had a big fight.
"Mom, are they fighting? Why do their expressions look terrible?" Dax whisper.
Bella shook her head. She didn’t understand either why the tension around them was so high.
"I’m not so sure. Let’s find out," Bella said as she continued to walk.
Bella tried to get the two old men’s attention by clearing her throat slightly, hoping they would know about her presence. However, they did not respond to it in any way. It seemed they were still in a trance.
Despite Bella and Dax sitting on a two-seater sofa, the two old men seemed oblivious to their presence.
She was speechless.
"Mom, are they okay? Why do they look like statues?" Dax asked, looking at Old Donovan and Old Sinclair in return — curious to see why they weren’t moving.
Bella smiles, hearing Dax’s question. She loudly called them, "Grandpa... Grandpa Sinclair..." She slightly raises her voice. "Are you both fine?"
Both of them jumped in surprise when they heard Bella’s voice. They both looked at Bella.
"Huh, since when are you here?" Old Donovan asked.
"Since half an hour ago..." Bella tried to tease him.
"Mommy, don’t lie to Grandpa," Dax corrected her. He glanced at his Grandpa and said, "We just join you, Gramps." He smiled, then turned his gaze at Lewis Sinclair.
Before Dax could say anything, Bella interrupted. "Dax, let me introduce you..." she said, then looked at Lewis Sinclair. "Grandpa, this is my son. His name is Daxton," Bella said, gazing at Dax. "This is your great-grandpa on your father’s side. Go greet him..."
Dax stood up from his seat and walked over to Lewis. "Hello, Great-Grandpa... My name is Daxton. You can call me Dax, and I’m four years old now." He extended his chubby hand towards Lewis, intending to shake hands.
However, Lewis couldn’t help himself. He pulled Dax into his arms and hugged him to express his happiness.
His dream is to see Bella and Tristan’s child before he dies. A dream he had buried five years ago when his grandson divorced Bella.
He no longer hoped that Tristan would give him great-grandchildren, but now, unexpectedly, Bella returned and made his dream come true; Dax’s presence made him utterly happy. He didn’t wish for anything else; this beautiful gift from God was enough for him.
"My Dear Dax, you can drop the great and just call me grandpa..." Lewis whisper.
"G-Grandpa," Dax’s voice sounded so soft it melted Lewis’ heart.
"I’m so grateful to have met you. Thank you for being born and growing up healthy like this," Lewis said while looking at Bella; he felt so grateful to her. "Thank you, Bella. You allowed me to meet him—"
Bella didn’t say anything; she felt so touched and couldn’t hold back her tears.
After briefly speaking with Lewis about Dax, Bella left and allowed Dax to spend time with his great-grandparents while she returned to her bedroom.
