At four in the afternoon, Bella was ready to go. She needed to arrive early at the Mogul Mega Mall to go shopping before meeting Tristan at 7 p.m.
However, before she went down to the first floor, Dax came out of his room simultaneously.
Bella was surprised to see her son rubbing his eyes while walking towards her.
"Oh, baby… I thought you were taking a nap. Why are you awake now?" Bella came closer and took his chubby hand. She took him to the sofa in the living room area on the second floor.
She smiled at how adorable he looked just waking up from his sleep, his thick black hair looking messy.
"I slept too much, Mom... I’m not sleepy anymore," Dax said in a hoarse but sweet voice, looking at his mother.
Dax was surprised to see his mother wearing clothes that she rarely wears.
She wore a white turtleneck, skinny jeans, and a khaki trench coat on her shoulder. Her beautiful wavy black hair, which she usually tied up, now flowed beautifully down her back. She looked stunning, like an angel.
Seeing how beautiful his mother looked now made Dax worry.
"Are you going somewhere, Mom?" Dax asked, concerned that she might leave him.
"Yes. I have to go somewhere..."
"Where? You didn’t bring me with you?" he asked, disappointed.
"Baby, sorry… I didn’t ask you to come with me because you will hate that place." Bella smiled, knowing her son disliked going to the supermarket or shopping center. He hated crowded places.
Dax frowned.
"Are you going to the supermarket?"
"No. Shopping mall. I need some clothes to wear and also yours. If you want to come with—"
"No, thanks. You can go now, mommies… But please buy a few cakes for me or anything delicious," Dax said, his eyes beaming as he imagined his favorite chocolate cake.
Bella smiled. She felt amused looking at how adorable he was when discussing food.
She cupped his chubby cheeks with her hand and kissed his forehead gently.
"Dax, I will buy your favorite cake. Now, you can continue to sleep or play with Aunty Noora."

After Bella finished accompanying Dax to his room, she immediately went downstairs.
She saw her grandpa waiting at the main entrance when she arrived on the first floor. She could see how worried he was now, making Bella smile to reassure him.
"Bella, are you sure you want to go alone?" Isaac asked, concerned for her. He was worried she would drive and meet Tristan alone.
Since she said she would meet Tristan, he had already asked her to go with Nick, but she refused.
"Yes, I’m fine. Please, Grandpa... I’m not a teenager but a mother. Don’t worry about me. I’ve lived in this city for almost ten years. I’m familiar with the places I visit.
