Chapter 403

Bella looked up to meet his gaze.

“Of course, I’m happy because I wished you and Dax would be here, but I didn’t expect you guys to fly here.” She said while narrowing her eyes on him.

Tristan loosened his embrace and gently pinched her blushing cheeks, “My pretty wife, have you ever heard the word ’SURPRISE p>

Bella frowned slightly, wondering, ’Why did he suddenly ask me about that p>

“Well, this is a surprise event for you, dear. Alright, let’s go inside,” Tristan said, trying to distract her. He led her to the living room to join their son.

“Mom, don’t scold Dad, please. I’m the one who gave him the idea to fly here to surprise you,” Daxton said, trying to help his father when he saw his mother seem angry at him.

Looking at how adorable her son was, standing from his seat while his eyes beamed looking at her, Bella instantly forgot her annoyance because Tristan came without notice.

She released Tristan’s hand and rushed to approach Dax.

“Baby, I didn’t scold your daddy. I’m only talking casually to him,” she said while squeezing her not-so-chubby son’s cheeks.

After Bella hugged her son, she continued showering him with a kiss on his cheeks before finally sitting beside him.

Bella couldn’t hide her excitement at their presence. The fatigue she felt after a day of confronting her father, uncle, and several corrupt directors in the Donovan Group slowly faded away, and her mind and heart relaxed again.

“Really, mom!? But why did I see your eyebrows wrinkled p>

Bella raised her hand and touched her eyebrows. Smiling, she explained, “I’m not angry. Instead… Mom, so glad to see you and your Dad here p>

Despite her explanation, her son still doubted her. Bella couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

“I wanted to ask you and your Daddy to accompany me, but I worried your Dad would miss work again. He’s been off for a week to accompany us at the hospital. I’m afraid your Dad’s boss will scold him if he asks for another day off She said randomly while glancing teasingly at Tristan.

Bella smiled at him, amused by his expression; Tristan shook his head as if he disagreed with her words.

“My dear wife, you should start accepting the reality that your hubby owns the company, and no one dares to scold him p>

Bella said nothing but grinned before leaning closer to her son, who was now focused on his iPad, playing a coding game Max assigned him to solve.

“And your husband can work from wherever he wants, so you don’t have to worry about that,” Tristan continued, causing Bella to shift her gaze to him.

She narrowed her eyes on him and asked, “So, are you done with your work, Mr. Sinclair p>

“Yes, ma’am. I’ve just finished my meeting before you arrived. And now I feel hungry. It looks like we need to go out to find some good food. Can you show us a good place to eat in this city p>

Tristan didn’t ask his staff to prepare dinner because he wanted to date his wife in her hometown. This was his first time in this city with her.

Bella was surprised to hear Tristan’s words. She sat up straight to check her watch. It was indeed almost dinner time.

She didn’t have a plan to go out tonight. Earlier, she had planned to soak in the bathtub, relax her mind, and order room service from the restaurant while gossiping with Harper all night.

“Tristan, I will call Harper first. I need to cancel my plan with her,” she said while taking out her cell phone.

“You don’t have to call her,” he said.

Bella’s hand paused mid-air before she pressed Harper’s number.

“Sorry to say, but your friend might now have fine dining in the restaurant with Dylan and a few of my staff,” Tristan explained. He had already arranged for Bella’s friends to enjoy fine dining. He didn’t want her friends to bother them.

Bella remained silent but shook her head in disbelief. She was astonished by Tristan’s ability to always be two steps ahead of her.

Dax’s pleading voice suddenly interrupted them when they gazed lovingly at each other.

“Dad, can I skip dinner outside with you and Mom? I made plans to meet Uncle Gael. Please, Dad, I don’t get to see him in person much. I’m worried I will miss seeing Uncle Gael if he returns to Fort City tomorrow p>

Bella frowned. She was surprised to hear that Stefan had also come to the city. How could that be?

“Baby, Uncle Gael didn’t come with me. He’s still in the capital,” Bella clarified.

“Mom, Uncle Gael is staying in the room next door,” Dax explained. “He came with us, and Uncle Gael already promised to play with me after dinner p>

Bella was stunned to hear that.

’Since when was Stefan so close to Tristan? He’s even flying with them without saying anything to me?’ Bella wondered, narrowing her eyes at Tristan. But later, she realized something.

She shifted her gaze to Dax again, asking, “Baby, did you ask Uncle Gael to come here p>

Dax innocently nodded his head.

“Yes, mom. I thought it would be fun to meet and play with him again. When I asked him if he had time to fly to East City and visit you, he agreed immediately p>

Bella, p>

“Mommy, are you mad at me because I asked Uncle Gael to visit you?” Dax asked worriedly.

Bella was speechless. She ruffled his silky hair.

“Of course not, baby. How could Mom be angry with you? Okay, you can play with Uncle Gael after dinner. You don’t need to follow Mom and Dad to eat out p>

Bella didn’t dare bring her son outside, or someone would secretly photograph them.

“Thank you, Mom.” Dax smiled at her before turning his gaze to his father. “Dad, have fun on your date p>

“Thank you, buddy! I will buy a lot of ice cream for you p>

Bella smiled at Dax, but inwardly, she couldn’t help but vent her anger to Stefan because he had not informed her about his arrival in this city.
