Chapter 409

“Y-You… You… still recognize me, Mr. Sinclair?” Lucas asked, finding it hard to believe that someone like Tristan Sinclair still remembered him.

“Of course, I remember you,” Tristan said, suppressing a laugh at his father-in-law’s shocked expression. “And you’re not in the wrong room, Mr. Donovan. Please come in. Your daughter, Bella, is waiting for you inside p>

Lucas’s frown deepened upon hearing Bella’s presence inside.

’Why are they in the same room?’ Lucas wondered, gathering the courage to meet Tristan’s gaze. He wanted to ask, but his words betrayed him.

“Sir, are you coming inside or Tristan asked when he saw Lucas hadn’t moved; he only stood in place, staring at him with a mixed expression.

“Yes… Yes Lucas quickly walked in, dragging his heavy and trembling legs while telling himself to calm down.

’No need to be afraid, Lucas. Tristan Sinclair wouldn’t do anything to harm you. He just brought you into this room to ask about Bella p>

Lucas still doubted he would see Bella in this room. Maybe Tristan was surprised to see him here looking for Bella, and it awakened Tristan’s curiosity about his daughter.

However, the moment Lucas entered the living room, he felt like his entire muscles betrayed him; he couldn’t move when he saw his daughter, Bella, sitting on the sofa and looking at him with a calm smile.

“Be-Bella… you… why are you here with Mr. Tristan Sinclair?” Lucas asked.

Lucas felt another blow when he saw Tristan sitting beside his daughter. He blinked several times, looking at both of them as if trying to ensure what he saw was real.

’Why do they look so close? Tristan even holds Bella’s hand and looks at her lovingly. What on earth is this? Why are they still together?’ Lucas wondered, utterly confused by the situation unfolding before his eyes.

Bella held her laughter when she saw her father panicked and bewildered.

“Father, why are you surprised to see us?” Bella casually asked. When Lucas tried to say something, she continued, “The man beside me is Tristan Sinclair. He is my husband p>

Lucas was stunned. He now fully believed he was dreaming. He had always imagined this; his daughter was still married to Tristan Sinclair.

“Father, are you alright?” Bella raised her voice. She had asked her father to sit a few times, but he hadn’t moved at all. Looking at her father, who seemed like a cosplaying mannequin, Bella started to worry.

Lucas snapped out of his thoughts when he faintly heard Bella’s voice.

He blinked a few times but still saw his daughter sitting beside Tristan. They were also still holding hands.

’What the hell happened here? Is this real? Are they back together?’ Lucas Donovan covered his gasp in disbelief.

“Please sit down, Father!” Bella asked again.

Lucas nodded as he hurriedly settled opposite Bella and Tristan. His gaze was still fixed on them as he tried to convince himself that this was real, not his imagination.

However, even though he knew it was real, he was still confused.

How could they become husband and wife again after what happened in the past?

Lucas still remembered their divorce hitting their company’s reputation so hard. When the Sinclair Group abruptly terminated its business cooperation with the Donovan Group, ninety percent of its projects stopped.

The Donovan Group suffered greatly and barely managed to survive. To this day, the company has not regained its former glory.

And now, these two look so close again, as if they are still married. It’s hard for him to believe it.

“Bella, when did you remarry to Mr. Sinclair? And if I may ask, why didn’t you tell us you remarried? I mean, I…” Lucas asked when Tristan’s calm but firm voice suddenly stopped Lucas’s words.

“Mr. Donovan, I’m sorry to interrupt you. Bella and I never got divorced,” replied Tristan.

“Still married? Wait… have I lost my memory, or am I dreaming?” Lucas said, pinching his forehead. When he felt the ache, he narrowed his eyes on them.

“Weren’t you two divorced five years ago? I mean, I clearly remembered Bella was separated from you. Or am I wrong?” he asked, confused.

“Indeed. But we never finalized the divorce. I…never submitted the divorce papers. Sorry, Father. I can’t explain the reason. But we are real; the man beside me is Tristan Sinclair, my lawful husband,” Bella explained.

“What? Owh, you are not kidding, right?” Lucas still thought this was all a joke. When he saw they both remained silent, he continued,

“Alright, I’m sorry. I believe you. But would you mind explaining what happened in the last five years? Why did your family suddenly say you were both divorced? They even cut a business cooperation we already signed!?” Lucas Donovan’s eyes fixed on Tristan.

Tristan exchanged glances with Bella for a moment. He wanted to explain to Lucas what happened in the past, but when he saw Bella reluctant to do so, he took his cell phone and texted Dax to come out. He needed to distract Lucas Donovan to stop him from asking further questions.

“Hahaha, I know you guys are kidding. There’s no way you’re still married because—” Lucas Donovan’s sentence stopped when he heard a child’s voice from behind him. He turned to look and froze.

“Dad, Mom Dax walked toward his parents with tiny steps, occasionally glancing at the old man before them.

“Dax Bella’s eyes beamed. Her smile grew wider as she pulled her son to sit between her and Tristan.

“Dax, this is my father, your grandpa p>

“Grandpa Lucas p>

“Hmm,” Bella felt amused, looking at her son acting. He seemed so natural.

“Oh, I heard a lot about Grandpa Lucas from Grandma,” Dax said in his adorable voice as he looked at Lucas again. “Hello, I’m Daxton Donovan Sinclair,” he greeted Lucas politely. “It’s nice to meet you, Grandpa Lucas p>

Lucas’s hand trembled; he was utterly shocked.

Seeing how handsome and innocent the little boy in front of him was enough to make his eyes sting, holding back his emotion upon realizing this little man before him was his grandson.
