Don't Blame Him

"It's about Sean. He is back—"

Instantly, silence hung in the air. Neither of them said anything.

Bella saw his hand hanging in the air before touching her hair. His expression slowly darkened, but it was only for a moment, a faint smile reappeared on his lips, and his frozen hand moved to land on her head, stroking her hair gently.

She took a deep sigh, relieved that Tristan didn't overreact to the news of Sean's return.

However, just as Bella was about to continue speaking, Tristan spoke, "I will talk to Sean about us. You don't need to meet him to explain anything..."

Bella was surprised to hear that. She immediately shook her head and refused his idea. "No, hubby. Let me meet him first."

Tristan frowned. "Why do you insist on meeting him?"

"I told you before I made a promise to him..." Bella explained her promise to Sean that she would give him a chance and wait for him. "I have to meet him myself to apologize to him."
