"Young Madam, Master Tristan is back," Noora announced as she rushed to the family room on the second floor, approaching Bella.

Bella placed the pregnancy book on the coffee table and looked at her watch. It was still five in the afternoon.

’It’s still early. Why was Tristan already home?’ She wonders, looking at Noora.

"Tristan is back? Didn’t he say he would be back before dinner?" Bella asked as she stood up from the sofa and walked toward the stairs.

"I don’t know either, ma’am. Master Tristan didn’t say anything."

"Where is he?"

"When I rushed to find you, Master Tristan was talking with Geoffrey in the living room downstairs," Noora explained.

Bella said nothing as she rushed to the stairs, but Tristan walked up and smiled at her before she went down.

Noora immediately excused herself and disappeared through the door specifically for workers.

"You’re back?" Bella asked, taking Tristan’s coat and bag as they walked to their bedroom.

"Yes, dear. I missed my wife and couldn’t focus on my work. So, I left everything and came home instead," Tristan casually said, placing his hand on her shoulder.

Bella could only shake her head. She doubted his reason: "Do you think I’m Dax? Even my smart son could not believe your reason, Mr. Sinclair."

She stopped, facing him after placing his bag and coat.

"Did something happen in the office? Why did you return before five?" She asked again.

Tristan’s warm smile slowly faded as he stared at Bella, her beautiful eyes locked onto his. He could see the confusion radiating from her.

Understanding the urgency of telling Bella about her father, Tristan gently took her hand. He guided her to sit on the sofa.

He knew he had to break the sad news about her father, but a nagging worry troubled him now.

’Is she strong enough to handle the fact that someone killed her father?’ This made him reluctant to tell her, especially since he also didn’t know how Lucas Donovan died.

"Tristan, what happened?" Bella started to worry when she noticed something odd about Tristan.

"My wife, there’s something I want to tell you. And this news might make you sad..." Tristan paused for a moment as he saw her beautiful eyebrow wrinkle slightly.

Tristan squeezed her hand gently before he told her that Max had found a picture of Lucas Donovan lying with a pale face and blood around his body on a deck in the middle of the forest.
