Supposedly, this night was meant to be a happy dinner with his family after so many years of not sitting at the same table. But Tristan's mood dropped below zero, and sitting with his parents felt like a disaster.
Tristan couldn't enjoy his dinner at all. He finished his food as if he had eaten tasteless fare.
While his parents chatted, everything they discussed seemed to pass from his right to his left ear.
Tristan's earlier conversation with Jessica had successfully created discord between them. He didn't say a word to Jessica, and vice versa.
After dinner, Tristan immediately bid them goodbye. But before he left the house, he had already warned his grandfather not to expose any information about his son, Dax, to his parents.
Deep inside, he began to suspect that there was something that made his mother hate Bella so much. Before allowing his son to enter his family, he needed to discover what happened and act based on it.
