His Plan

Bella didn't say anything. She let Tristan calm his mind and heart, knowing he still blamed himself every time they talked about their past separation.

The funny thing is, every time she asked him to forget, Tristan would say, "It's okay, darling. I deserve this torture." 

She couldn't refute him and let him punish himself.

...

While waiting for Tristan to calm down, Bella leaned back in her seat, trying to enjoy the distant scenery. However, it wasn't long before she heard Tristan move and speak to her.

"Wife, tomorrow I have plans to have lunch with my parents…"

Bella's heartbeat quickened when she heard that. She tried to appear calm as she turned to look at him.

"Oh, really? That sounds good..." Bella smiled at him, even though she felt confused and awkward inside, unsure how to react.
