Chapter 419

“Did Dax know about my fever?” Bella glanced at Tristan, worried their son might be concerned if he found out.

“No. I asked Geoffrey not to tell anyone, including Dax and your mother p>

“Thank you, Tristan. I don’t want my mother and Dax to worry about me. Besides, it’s just a common fever p>

“I know. But from now on, I won’t allow you to overwork. If you do and get sick again, I will call Jack and complain. He will probably agree with me about reducing your work or removing you from your position p>

Tristan said casually, but his eyes clearly showed his seriousness. He was trying to tell her that he couldn’t accept her refusal in this matter.

“Ooo, I understand, Mr. Sinclair. I promise I will never tire myself again.” Bella grinned, clearly aware of his worry.

Bella did not wish to return to work in the first place, but she couldn’t back out now because she had already promised Jack that she would help the company grow in this country.

She plans to retire from the RDF management team and Quantum Capital once the company has a strong foundation. Her primary target is to bring this company to the top ten in the country.

After achieving her target, she will return to her dream of being a mother to her child and a good wife to her husband, enjoying a peaceful life with her family—the life she has been dreaming of while her money works for her.

“Thank you, my wife. Your words warm my heart,” Tristan lovingly smiled at her.

Bella rolled her eyes at his sweet talk before saying, “Well, Mr. Sinclair, you must take care of your company too, sir! I don’t want to see my husband slacking off from his work because of me p>

When Tristan heard her words, he stifled a laugh. He took her hand and led her to the dining table.

“Dear, don’t worry. I will go to the office after breakfast. How about you? What do you want to do p>

“I am planning to visit my mother. I have so much to discuss with her. Also, I kind of envy now…” Bella sighed deeply as she sat in her chair.

Tristan raised his eyebrow slightly, looking at her gloomy expression. “Why do you feel that way? Has something happened between you and your mom? Why are you envious of her?” he asked, looking worried.

Bella shrugged and shook her head.

“It’s because of our baby Dax. Lately, he prefers having breakfast there instead of here with us p>

Tristan chuckled, amused at how adorable her expression was as she was jealous of her own mother.

“Darling wife, our son probably still wants to spend time with his Granny. Don’t be jealous; they only meet for a few days p>

“Hubby, you may not understand what I mean. I envy our son’s ability to eat my mom’s cooking every morning p>

Tristan smiled when he realized the reason behind Bella’s gloominess — she missed her mother’s cooking. He felt guilty that Bella couldn’t visit her mother because of him. Every morning, he had been having breakfast with her at their house.

“My dear wife,” Tristan said, placing his spoon down before gently touching her cheek. As he saw her turning to look at him, he continued, “I do think you need to spend more time with your mother. So, don’t worry about me; I’m happy to see you happy. And yes, you can have lunch with her today p>

Bella leaned closer and kissed his cheek.

“Thank you, Tristan p>

After leaving the house, Tristan didn’t go straight to his office. Instead, he asked his driver to go to S International Hospital as he needed to know the results of his wife’s blood test.

Parked in the exclusive parking lot in the basement, Tristan called Carlos.

“Do you have the Lab result yet, Carlos?” he asked.

“Yes. I have it with me. Where are you now?” Carlos responded, holding Bella’s sealed lab result in his hand.

“In the parking lot, the usual place,” Tristan replied.

“Great! Wait for me there; I will bring the result,” Carlos said.

Tristan ended the call, trying to calm his racing heartbeat. He remained focused on the underground lobby entrance, anticipating Carlos’ arrival.

As he nervously waited for Carlos, his cell phone suddenly rang, surprising him. He frowned when he saw Max’s name on the screen. He didn’t recall having a task for Max to call him at this early hour.

Worried that something important had happened, he immediately picked up the phone. His worry increased when he heard Max’s tense voice on the other end.

“Boss, someone tried to find information about the young madam p>

Tristan’s face instantly darkened, and he gripped his cell phone tightly. “Who?” He asked calmly, though his high tone failed to conceal his worry.

“A powerful hacker from South Europe. But I suspect his coordinates were fake, so I can’t determine his real position,” Max explained. He remembered encountering this hacker before, but it had been a brief encounter. He could tell the person was not an amateur but a professional hacker.

“Did he succeed?” Tristan’s icy voice surprised Reid, who was sitting beside the driver. Reid felt alert and suspicious that something terrible had happened.

“They couldn’t break my first-layer firewall, and I happened to be online at the time, so I could alert and hunt them back, but I’m really sorry, I can’t capture that person. He managed to escape my siege Max said regretfully.

Tristan didn’t say anything, lost in thought. When he was about to speak, he saw Carlos emerge from the elevator.

“We’ll talk in my office!” Tristan hurriedly ended the call. He turned his gaze to Reid. “Add security around my wife and son; keep an eye out for anything suspicious wherever she is at all times p>

“Consider it done, Boss!” Reid responded by taking out his cell phone and texting his subordinates.

“Knock. Knock p>

Tristan turned to see Carlos standing outside, knocking on the window. He rolled down the window and said, “Thanks, Carlos. May I see it p>

“Let’s open it together,” Carlos said excitedly, handing Tristan the envelope.

“I’m sorry, Carlos,” Tristan refused, causing Carlos’s expression to turn ugly. He continued, “I have an urgent meeting at the office. I will let you know the result p>

Carlos nodded. “Sure, man. It’s your call p>

Tristan asked the driver to move. He needed to arrive at the office soon to meet Max. He was worried that his business enemy knew about his relationship with Bella, and they would start digging for information about her. It would be troublesome if this happened.
