Although Be wanted to ignore this, she couldn’t. She needs to talk to Sean if she wants this rtionship to work.

"How will you handle Tristan? I mean, once he knows Dax is his son, he will definitely give me trouble—"

Sean’s blissful expression vanished. He had nned to meet Tristan today before flying to the Middle East, but that n couldn’t be carried out today. He was alreadyte and had to return to his base immediately.

"And, as for me, I will sacrifice everything for Dax, even my feelings..." Be wanted to say that but was worried it would hurt Sean. All the sentences on the tip of her tongue came back into her throat.

She cleared her throat before saying, "Sean, Tristan will find out about Dax sooner orter. I’m afraid he will cause you trouble, too."

Sean’s face slowly turned dark. He imagined talking to Tristan about his ns to marry his ex-wife. Thinking about it made him feel awkward, but he would do anything for the woman he loved, including ignoring his pride.

"Bells, trust me. I will take care of Tristan. There is no need to worry about him," Sean smiled warmly, but his gloomy gaze seemed to betray him. Be could see it, but she pretended not to notice.

"I trust you," She said while burying herself into his warm embrace once more.

They hugged until Sean had to say goodbye and return to his base.

Sean had to leave immediately, or he would face this country’s military court for neglecting his duties.

...

After Sean left, Be rushed to her president’s suitroom. She suddenly felt sleepy and exhausted after so many happened today.

Her family’s harsh wee and Sean’s sudden confession make her feel emotionally exhausted. She needs to replenish her energy before facing her son, or her brilliant son will read everything from her expression.

When Be entered their president suite, she didn’t see anyone in the living room. She quickly checked Dax’s bedroom, only to find him fast asleep under his covers. After she ensured the nket covered his body, she let him sleep a little longer.

Before heading to her bedroom, Be checked Aunty Noora’s room. She could only smile when she saw that she was also asleep.

Be threw herself onto the mattress when she saw the clean and soft bed.

It didn’t take long; she immediately fell asleep.

****

Diamond Restaurant.

This restaurant is located on the fifth floor of the hotel building.

Be decided to have their first family dinner in the country at this restaurant because she felt toozy to go out. It’s freezing outside — it’s snowing right now.

After making a reservation one hour before, they walk there. Surprisingly, the restaurant was so crowded that almost no seats were left.

There were only a few tables left, and she was thankful enough to have made a reservation beforehand. The waitress led them to the best table with a city view.

They enjoyed their light dinner while chatting. Be told Dax and Noora about her n for tomorrow. They will visit Lake Vige, where her grandpa lives.

Noora and Dax were both surprised to know that, especially Dax.

He ces his cutlery on the te and wipes his mouth with a napkin before he fixes his gaze on his mother, who continues to talk to Noora.

"Mom," Dax called her with his voice sounding like a child’s, but his expression looked like an adult — serious.

"Yes, baby..." Be answered him cheerfully. When she saw his steak was finished, she continued, "You need more food? Do you want Mommy to order another steak?"

Dax slightly shook his head, "I’m not eating anymore, Mom. I’m just curious about something."

Be was stunned.

Usually, her son will ask for more food because he likes to eat.

"What is it, baby?" Be asked as she put down her cutlery and paid more attention to him.

"Mom, you said earlier that great-grandpa was in aa and hospitalized, right? But why has he returned home?"

Be was amused by the way this little guy spoke. "Your great-grandpa was immediately healthy when I visited him. So, tomorrow we don’t need to go to the hospital to visit him, but we will go to his house..."

"Wow, really? That’s great to hear that, Mommy. I can’t wait to meet Great-grandpa..." Dax is excited. He shes a smile at his mother before starting to eat his dessert.

Be gently ruffled Dax’s hair and let him enjoy his chocte cake.

She asks Aunty Noora to pack their clothes as they will move to her grandpa’s Vi before flying back to the capital.

"Yes, young miss," Noora gave Be an OK sign. She was pleased to finally be able to return to the old house she lived in before following Be to the city.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you, little man," Be returned her gaze to Dax. "How’s your day with Uncle Sean? Did you y with him today?"

Even though Be had heard what they were doing from Sean, she wanted to listen to it directly from her son’s mouth.

"Uncle Sean took me for a drive around town. We also stopped at a restaurant. After that, Uncle Sean also bought me a Lego as my wee gift. After that..." Dax paused, trying to remember. "Mom, I forgot what happened after that... What I remember is I woke up in my bedroom.

I guess... I’m sleeping in the car."

Be, "..."

"So you didn’t say goodbye to him?"

Dax shook his head in disappointment.

"Mom, please call Uncle for me. I want to talk to him. Please, Mom..." he asked while blinking his beautiful blue eyes, making Be smile.

"Sorry, Dax, I can’t call him right now. Uncle Sean is on duty right now—" Be said. She wanted to call him too, but in thest message she received from him, he told her that he was boarding. He also mentioned that he probably couldn’t hold his cell phone for an unknown time.

Seeing the disappointment radiating from Dax’s gaze, Be could only smile faintly.

"Okay, let’s go back to the room. We need to pack our things." Be deliberately changed the topic of conversation so that her son’s attention would be distracted, no longer asking about Sean.

After a few minutes, Be left the restaurant. A man in a ck hat looked around him worriedly before entering a ck van parked behind the Star Hotel.

He handed a ck bag containing used cutlery and sses from one of their restaurant guests to a man beside him.
