Bella continued, "Mom, our house is in a private area with stunning scenery and right next to Grandpa’s house."
"Oh, you stay side by side with your Grandpa?" Natalie was surprised to hear that.
"Yes. That’s why Grandpa decided to move to the capital: he wants to play with Dax every day. And the funny thing is that Grandpa Lewis has lived with us since we moved into that house. So, you won’t feel lonely living with us, Mom."
Natalie nodded, smiling happily. She couldn’t wait to et Tristan, her grandson, and her father-in-law, even though she felt embarrassed now because she had decided to divorce Lucas.
Her encounter with Isaac Donovan last ti in the hospital was awful. Natalie wanted to apologize to the old man because she could no longer live with his son, Lucas.

Not long after, the plane finally landed at a private airport.
Bella’s smile widened as she stepped off the plane and spotted her husband waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. He looked as handso as ever, causing her heart to tremble. She missed him so much.
Just as Bella wanted to speed up her steps to et him, her mother caught her hand.
"Bella, wait."
She halted and glanced at her mother. "Yes, Mom?"
"Heavens! That’s Tristan Sinclair?" Natalie whispered in a trembling voice. It was hard for her to believe this young man was looking at her daughter with such a loving gaze. "He ca to pick you up?" she continued.
Bella smiled at her mother before saying, "Hmm, he is. Let’s hurry, Mom. He needs to greet you properly—" She walked ahead down the plane stairs to warn Tristan.
Instantly, Natalie’s heart tightened when she heard that the man was Tristan. Even though this man was once her son-in-law, they never chatted like family.
Natalie always heard from Noora, who often updated her about Bella’s condition while they lived with the Sinclair family. Noora ntioned that Tristan was rarely seen at ho and was always too busy to talk to anyone.
However, he is now willing to pick them up at the airport. Natalie is impressed by his change in attitude.
Bella quickened her pace and threw herself into Tristan’s embrace. His warmth and familiar fragrance were enough to make a strange feeling erge in her heart, a sense of solid longing even though they had only been apart for a night.
"I miss you, Tristan Sinclair!" Bella tightens her hand over his waist.
"I miss you more than you know, Bella, my wife. Since last night, I wanted to speed up ti so you would appear before faster."
Tristan’s hoarse voice made Bella smile.
"My wife, Bella, I don’t want to let you go like this again. In the future, Dax and I will follow you wherever you go—the sa with . If I go sowhere, you and Dax have to follow ," Tristan said.
Having just separated from her the previous night, he was consud with worry about losing her forever. It seed silly, but that’s how he felt. He had a terrible night’s sleep.
"Hmm, that sounds good, Hubby!" Bella smiled widely. She felt like they were in their honeymoon phase; they couldn’t be apart even for a few hours. However, her smile faded when she rembered her son, Dax.
She imdiately released her hug and looked at him curiously. "Tristan, you didn’t bring Dax?"
Tristan chuckled, seeing her annoyance. "I wanted to bring him. But Grandpa said Dax shouldn’t co because I needed to greet your mother first. He was worried Dax would be curious about what happened with you and your parents—"
Bella nodded, understanding what her Grandpa said. Just as she was about to say sothing, Tristan had already left her side and walked toward her mother. She could only chuckle as she watched them awkwardly talk.
"Mother, it’s an honor to see you again," Tristan smiled politely as he extended his hand for a handshake. When Natalie accepted his hand, he continued, "I deeply apologize for what I’ve done to your daughter in the past, mam—"
Natalie and Bella gasped at his words.
Before Natalie could respond, Tristan continued, "Mother, I promise you, I will never make any mistakes again. If you see hurt your daughter, you can scold or beat ."
"Oh, my son-in-law," Natalie wanted to cry. She was so happy to hear how sweet and sincere her son-in-law was. "It’s not necessary to say those words. That’s all in the past," she said.
Natalie tapped Tristan’s hand gently before continuing, "Thank you, Tristan. I appreciate your promise. And thank you for loving my daughter."
"No, Mother. I’m the one who feels so lucky. Bella loves , and it is a blessing for to beco her husband."
Bella almost choked hearing his words.
’Gosh! Mr. Sinclair, how dare you use your honey traps on my mother? How shaless.’
Bella shook her head and let them chat. Her gaze fell on Sam, who had just gotten off the plane and looked anxious as if he had sothing he wanted to tell her. She imdiately approached Sam and pulled him away from Tristan and her mother.
"Sam, what’s wrong? Why do you look restless?"
"Boss, I just received news from the office that soone left a package for . When checked, it was a docunt containing evidence to send Laura Kiels to prison."
Instantly, Bella’s eyes widened. She was utterly happy to hear that there was evidence to convict that bitch, Laura Kiels.
"Soone? Who helped us? Did you know the sender?" Bella asked, curious about the good person who sent the evidence to help them.
"There’s no na. And no one saw the person when he placed the envelope on the receptionist’s desk. I already asked soone to check the CCTV footage but have not yet received any info."
"Sam, you can return to the office now. You must give that evidence to our lawyer to process it with the police. I don’t want that bitch Laura Kiels to escape from her cri—"
