Chapter 161: Night Walk (2)
Bella needed to talk to Tristan about two crucial things.
She looked at him again, “It’s fine…I wasn’t angry with you. Maybe it’s because I felt tired after a full day at work.”
His eyes lifted when he heard her soft forgiveness, “Thank you, Bella.”
“Well, Tristan, I have something I need to tell you,” Bella said, her expression slowly turning gloomy when she remembered Jessica Sinclair knew her office and started investigating her.
“Sure. Go ahead…”
Bella tells him that her car was tailed after leaving the office this afternoon, which shocks him.
“That’s a terrifying experience, Bella. Are you okay?” Tristan asked worriedly while looking at her closely as if he wanted to check her whole body.
“As you can see, I’m fine… I’m fortunate that Sam was alert when we were being followed, so we could get here safely,” Bella was amused by his reaction.
“Thank god,” Tristan feels relieved. However, his face stiffened again when he asked, “Did you know who’s tailing your car?”
Bella took a deep breath before telling him, “I have done some quick but deep research through every CCTV that my car passed, and I could positively indicate that your mother is likely the one behind them.” She paused when she saw his face immediately turn red as if all the blood had rushed under the skin of his face.
‘Mother, why did you do that?’ Tristan gritted his teeth, angry, hearing his mother try to follow Bella despite his warning not to do anything about her.
“I came to that conclusion because the driver of the tailing car was a close friend of your mother’s most trusted driver,” Bella continued after she saw him looking angry.
Tristan remained silent and simply gazed at her, his expression filled with regret.
“I’m not entirely sure how much your mother knows about me, but I suspect she knows where I work. Now, it appears she’s also trying to find out where I live,” Bella’s voice expressed concern. “You remember my concerns, don’t you, Tristan?”
Tristan took Bella’s hand suddenly, surprising her. She blinked, looking at their hands together.
Before she could say something, Tristan spoke.
Tristan sounded confident as he reassured Bella that his mother wouldn’t harm her or Dax, even if she learned about her and their son. He promised to protect her no matter what.
When Bella heard how sincerely he said those words, she could feel the glacier in her heart slowly melting.
Bella lowered her gaze to see at their hand and said, “Thank you.” She let him hold her hand because she needed it. She’s not a superwoman who can handle everything; she’s just an ordinary woman who also feels scared and sad.
This man had apologized many times for his past ignorance, and she was not a woman who would be blinded by their past misunderstandings. She had forgotten about it, even though she couldn’t open her heart to him again.
However,
As the days passed, she found herself increasingly unable to ignore his sincere approach.
After a while, they held hands in silence. Finally, Bella spoke first. “Tristan, I’m flying to Nova City for a business trip, and I plan to take Dax with me…”
Tristan was surprised to learn about this. He frowned before asking, “For how many days? When are you going to fly there?”
Bella told him everything about her office trip and vacation with Dax. She also shared how excited Dax was about the trip and hoped Tristan would join them there.
However, after Bella finished her words, she saw Tristan’s happy and proud smile. She quickly pulled her hand from Tristan’s grasp.
Bella could tell that Tristan had misunderstood her words. She could see it in his gaze.
“Tristan, please understand that I do not want you to come to Nova City. It’s Dax who’s insisting on your presence. I wouldn’t have bothered you about our trip if it wasn’t for him,” Bella explained, hoping to avoid misunderstandings.
“I know, I know. I understand what you’re saying, Bella. Don’t worry about it,” Tristan said with a reassuring smile.
“So, are you going with us or not?”

Tristan’s smile instantly vanished as he remembered that he also had a business trip abroad. He tried to figure out if he could adjust his schedule to join them.
After fast thinking, he finally responded to her.
“Of course, I will join you and Dax,” Tristan said excitedly, “but I might catch up with you later because I have a business trip abroad in a few days,” he said calmly, though inwardly, he felt worried Bella would feel displeased.
“Sounds perfect, Tristan,” Bella said with a smile. She didn’t want him to stay with them the entire week. Spending a day with Dax was already the best for their son.
He feels relieved hearing that. “Alright, I will ask Dylan to prepare a jet for you to use.”
“Please don’t. If we use your family jet, your parents will find out about us,” Bella quickly rejected Tristan’s offer. She prefers to use commercial flights and avoids using the Sinclair Jet.
A thin line appeared on Tristan’s forehead upon hearing her answer. He understood her worries but couldn’t stand the fact that they would use a commercial flight.
“Bella, I won’t use the Sinclair Jet but my own.” His smile reassured her.
Bella narrowed her eyes at him, suspicious of his answer. Worried that she had heard wrong, she asked again, “Tristan, are you sure you have a private jet? I mean, not your family or company?”
Tristan said calmly, “I don’t have it now but will buy it tomorrow. I will register the jet under our son’s name with stand-by Pilots and stewardesses. And all expenses paid. That way, you and Dax can use it anytime you want to travel together.”
Bella was speechless hearing his words.
She couldn’t resist venting her sarcasm, ‘Oh wow, why is this man boasting his wealth to me now!? Tsk! How shameless…’
