Completely Speechless

Family lunch continued with Lewis Sinclair joining them.

Lewis insisted on helping Dax with his lunch even though Dax seemed slightly annoyed by his Grandpa's help. 

On the contrary, Tristan felt excited because Bella sat next to him. His smile never left him; however, he was taken aback when he glanced at her, seeing her fierce gaze. 

Tristan put his cutlery on the plate and drew his head closer to ask, "Why do you look at me like you want to eat me?" 

When Bella wants to reply, Tristan speaks again, "Well, I don't mind if you want to devour me, Bella. Just say so—" A soft chuckle escaped his lips, causing Bella to roll her eyes.

"Are you saying this lunch is just for us? Why did Grandpa suddenly appear?" Bella asked in her barely audible voice. Only Tristan would hear her.

Bella wondered whether this shameless Tristan had again arranged a trap for her. She narrowed her eyes, looking at him.
