The blaring ringtone of the mobile phone echoes in the pitch-black room, jolting Tristan Sinclair from his sleep. His eyes slowly opened, and a soft groan escaped his lips as he felt his entire body stiffen.
Last night had been restless, and he had only managed to sleep a few moments before the sun began to rise.
He tried to ignore the constant sound of the phone until it finally stopped. However, before he could return to the comfort of his bed, the phone rang again.
"Damn it!" he sighed in frustration.
Only a few people possessed his private cell number, and none typically called him at such an early hour. He covered his head with a pillow, trying to sleep more, but something crossed his mind.
"Maybe it’s Bella!? It must be her..." A hopeful smile tugged at the corners of his lips as Bella’s image danced in his mind.
Expectantly, he grabbed his cell phone from the bedside table. However, his smile quickly faded when he saw ’Grandpa’ displayed on the phone screen.
He sighed deeply before reluctantly answering the call, "Grandfather, why did you call me so early?" he asked, his voice still heavy with sleep as he threw back the covers and got out of bed.
Tristan’s slim but muscular body is visible in several parts, only covered by black training pants hanging from his hips.
He walked towards the window and pulled the curtains. Suddenly, sunlight came in and dazzled his eyes.
"My lord! Brat, you said this... is it still morning? It’s already 9 am, and you just woke up?" Lewis Sinclair’s voice sounded annoyed from the other end.
"Thank you for telling me that, Grandpa..." Tristan could only chuckle when he saw the bright blue sky. "Why did you call me!?"
"Why are you still sleeping now?"
"Come on, Grandpa, it’s Saturday..." Tristan said while rubbing the back of his neck, wanting to end this conversation immediately and go back to sleep.
After all these years, he had never felt as relaxed as he did now. It looks like dinner with Bella last night made him feel this way.
"While you were relaxing in your house, my granddaughter-in-law had already gone to work. Such a hardworking young woman... I feel so bad for her," Lewis said in his gloomy tone, causing Tristan to be shocked.
A frown appears on Tristan’s forehead. "Bella, working? On Saturday? Why would she do that?"
"Maybe because she needs money to raise—" Lewis’s words faded as he remembered he couldn’t tell him about Dax — he had already promised Bella.
"Well, my granddaughter-in-law has a hard time; she is now going to work even though today is Saturday." Lewis continues. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Tristan took a deep breath. He was too shocked to find out that Bella had to work. The thought of her working for someone else and leaving their son home stressed him.
’Why didn’t Bella talk about this matter last night?’ Tristan sighs deeply. ’Looks like we should meet and talk about this...’
