Bella and her family arrived in East City at night.
They headed to their new house after dropping her mother off at her house. Bella was thrilled to learn about their new house, as Tristan had only given her limited information about it. He had only told her the house was close to her childhood home.
As they left her mother’s front yard, their car didn’t head back to the main gate. Instead, it veered onto a new road, a path Bella had never seen before.
’Since when did they build a new road here?’ she wondered while looking outside. The last time she visited this house was when her father died, and she remembered there was no road there.
Bella was surprised to realize their new house was right next to her parents’ house.
A smooth street connected the two houses, just as her house at Little Heaven had an alley linked to her Grandpa’s house.
She knows who owned that massive house before the number one rich man in the city. They wouldn’t sell any property, being already rich enough and not in need of money—unless someone forced them to sell, of course.
Bella began to wonder, ’How could they sell the house?’ A sudden thought crossed her mind as she finally caught sight of the house in the distance. She glanced at Tristan, who was sitting beside her.
’Could it be that Tristan forced them to sell it to him?’ she thought. That seemed the only reasonable explanation for why the homeowner would be willing to sell their property.
A faint smile slowly formed on her face as she saw a beautiful two-story white house with a stunning garden adorned with yellow garden lights.
With the limited light, she couldn’t see the entire front yard, but she was sure the garden was similar to their house garden in the capital.
Carrying her daughter, Bella entered the house with Tristan, holding Oliver in his arms. Leaning closer to him, she asked, "Did you force the owner of this house to sell it to you?"
Tristan chuckled as he walked toward the stairs, heading to the second floor to put the sleeping twins in their bedroom.
"I’m not forcing him to sell, but I exchanged it with a property that made him agree immediately," Tristan finally responded to her after putting Oliver in his crib.
Bella frowned, looking at him, confused by his answer. "What kind of property did you give him? Why did he sell this house to you?" she asked.
Tristan didn’t answer Bella immediately but made sure the twins slept comfortably before he led her out of the room. Closing the door gently, he smiled at his curious wife.
"Why are you looking at me like that, dear?" Tristan chucked.
"You look suspicious. Why bother spending so much money on a house we rarely visit?" She narrowed her eyes on him.
Tristan touched her cheek and asked, "Can we discuss it later? We must have dinner with your family and Dax downstairs, right?"
Bella hurriedly nods.
"You are right, hubby. Hurry...hurry," she said, taking his hand and leading him to the stairs.
She was grateful that Geoffrey and a few chefs and staff from their house had already flown ahead to prepare for their arrival.
When they arrived at the first floor, Bella was happy to see her mother and Henry sitting in the living room with Dax. They seemed to be engrossed in conversation and didn’t notice their presence.
