Tristan immediately stood up from his chair.
"Okay, son... Let's talk in my office." Tristan said to Dax. He then looked at Bella. "You may go upstairs if you want, Bella. There's a room you can use to rest, and about your cake, I will ask Geoffrey to take your cake upstairs."
His lips revealed a barely noticeable smile when he saw her eyes slightly open wide, suprised.
Bella tore her gaze away from him, feeling a strange sensation in her heart as she looked into his eyes.
'Damn, Bells! Don't lose focus!' She mentally scolds herself while trying to calm her mind.
"Hmm, okay," she accepts his offer, realizing she does need a private space to wait. There's a call she needs to make.
Later, Bella follows them upstairs.
This isn't Bella's first visit to this house or ascent to the second floor. She's no longer as nervous as before, especially with Dax by her side.
