Another Surprise Struck Her

Bella and Tristan didn't see Dax in the living room. 

Instead, she saw Geoffrey coming inside and informing her that Lewis and William Sinclair were now showing the house to Dax. 

Bella chuckled, dismissed Geoffrey, and walked to Tristan, who was already waiting for her by the stairs to go upstairs.

"Let's see our bedroom, dear," Tristan said as he held out his hand to hold hers.

Bella followed him calmly, but her heartbeat raced. After so many years, she finally returned to the room that held many beautiful and unhappy memories for her. She tried to forget the sad memories since she knew they would return to this house. Now, in her mind, only good things remained.

"Are you ready to see our bedroom?" Tristan gently touched her shoulder. He smiled when he noticed how nervous she was.

"Yes. I'm ready—" Bella's words stopped when she was suddenly in Tristan's arms. He carried her.
