Bella feels alard when she hears about this. She knows Tristan has arranged a tailing car to protect her whenever Bryan drives her. Still, she wasn’t aware that bad people were also trying to tail their vehicles.
"Did they find that person?" Bella asked worriedly.
Stefan shook his head, a slight look of concern flashing in his eyes.
"Sis, I’m sorry, I don’t know. Tristan only assigned the task of finding the hacker’s location. You should ask him for more details."
Bella didn’t press Stefan further. "Hmm, thank you, Stefan. Thank you for lending your hands and mind to help them."
"No, I’m not doing much. Max could protect your information without . Your husband just wanted to ensure your information was safe, so he asked to join hands."
"Yeah, whatever it is, I’m still grateful." Bella smiled at him. "Alright, you eat lunch first and sleep. You look like a zombie now."
"What? Zombie!?" Stefan tried to see his face using his cell phone cara, only to realize his battery was dead. "Oh, crap! Even my cell phone hates ."
"Gosh! Just throw away your cell phone. There’s no point in you having it if you don’t reply to my texts and ignore my calls," Bella said as she stood from her seat.
Stefan, "..."
Bella quickly said goodbye to Stefan. Her mind was full of many things, especially concerns about the person who wanted to uncover her real identity.
She believed that person was unrelated to her family because she had already ensured no one could try to ss with her again.
After arriving at her office, Bella took out her cell phone and was about to call Tristan; however, Tristan’s series of texts surprised her.
[Tristan] Darling, Mr. President, invites us to dinner at his residence next week.
[Tristan] I’ll have Dylan arrange a private designer to create your gown.
[Tristan] Don’t work so hard. Love you!
[Tristan] Call when you see this ssage. (Kiss emoji)
Bella sat silently, staring at her dark cell phone screen.
"Mr. President?" she muttered from her chair. "Oh my God, he ans Sean’s father? Sean’s father is inviting us to dinner?"
Bella felt her throat dry at the thought of eting Sean’s family for the first ti.
"Will Sean and Amanda be there?" The thought of eting them made her even more nervous. It felt like butterflies were dancing in her stomach.
Taking a deep breath, she leaned against the back of her chair and closed her eyes, trying to push aside the image of dinner at Sean’s house.
After a while, she returned to work and made video calls with Leo, who was currently busy in Nova City. This distracted her mind as they talked about work.
***
A few days have passed, and today is the end of September. The air feels chilly, signaling autumn is slowly arriving in their city.
So much has happened in Bella’s life over the past week. She agreed to work from ho after speaking with Tristan about her safety and pregnancy. She will only go to the office if she needs to attend a managent team eting.
anwhile, her grandfather has returned to East City for the past few days. He deliberately stayed there to support his daughter, Emma, so his other sons wouldn’t dare trouble her.
Lewis Sinclair, who usually stays at Bella and Tristan’s house, decided to return to his own ho after learning his son, William Sinclair, has cancer. Still, they visit Dax every few days. They don’t co daily because they don’t want to arouse Jessica’s suspicion.
Today, Henry will be discharged from the hospital, and Bella will introduce him to her son, Dax, for the first ti. She had delayed this eting to observe Henry’s attitude in the last couple of days. And she has seen Henry behave a lot better now.
Since their last encounter at the hospital with Tristan, Bella has heard from Noora and her mother that Henry has undergone significant changes, which makes her happy. This indicates he hasn’t adopted their father’s rudeness and terrible attitude.
After a week at ho, Bella was surprised that no one had suspected her pregnancy. She feels grateful because Noora and her mother are rarely at ho; they visit Henry at the hospital every day during the day and only return before night.
Just like any other morning...
Bella now enjoys sunbathing on the veranda while reading her favorite fiction book and listening to the birds singing in the forest behind the house.
"Bella..."
Tristan’s soft voice startled Bella. She imdiately turned to look at him while closing the book.
Seeing him already neatly dressed in his slim-fit white shirt stunned her; his handsoness left her speechless. A lovely smile graced her lips as she stood from her seat. "Oh, are you ready to go?" she asked, approaching him.
"Hmm," Tristan took her hand and led her inside. "Are you sure I don’t need to accompany you when Henry ets our son?" he was still worried because he had so much work today and couldn’t be beside her.
"Yes, your eting at the office is more important than welcoming my older brother," Bella chuckled, reassuring him not to worry too much.
"Alright, if you need anything, call imdiately," Tristan said thoughtfully.
Tristan wanted to stay ho to accompany her, but he couldn’t postpone this morning’s eting. He had to attend, and in the afternoon, he had to fly to another city to visit several company projects. He could only return at night before dinner. That’s why he felt terrible leaving her alone now.
"Sure, I’ll call you every hour, sir," Bella teased, trying to humor him. "But don’t worry too much. Even though Henry will stay here, he’ll be at Mom’s place. He won’t cause any trouble. Besides, I heard he’s changed."
"Trust , he hasn’t changed that fast. I’m still worried he’ll cause you trouble."
Bella smiled faintly at his concern. "I’ve changed too, Mr. Sinclair. I’m no longer the weak girl you’ve married in the past. I have changed a lot, and now I’m stronger than him. If he tries to harm , I’ll send him back to the hospital.
This ti, a lot worse."
"Hahaha, you’re right. If he acts up, send him back to Carlos on a stretcher. Let him take care of your older brother there." Tristan pulled Bella’s waist closer to his and leaned in to kiss her lips.
