"Go out?" Isaac was surprised. "Where?"
"To meet Tristan..."
Suddenly, Isaac’s expression turned sour. He looked Bella in the eyes, feeling confused.
"Why didn’t he come here? Why meet outside?"
Isaac felt concerned about Bella meeting outside, especially when it was an official meeting between Dax and Tristan. The paparazzi might take pictures of them. Meeting in a private place like this house would be better.
Bella was left speechless upon hearing his question. She still remembers his Grandpa telling her that he would beat Tristan if he appeared before him again.
"Grandpa, maybe Tristan is afraid of you..." Bella casually said, but Isaac’s expression darkened. He cleared his throat and turned to the book on his lap.
"Didn’t you say you will run? Why do you cosplay into a dummy!" he said without looking at her.
Bella smiled before she excused herself and vanished from Isaac’s line of sight.
When he heard Bella walk out, Isaac could only take a deep breath.
"Nick—"
Suddenly, Nick appeared from the connecting door to the dining room. "Yes, master?"
"Did you hear?"
"Yes. I heard," Nick replied. He is standing beside Isaac.
"It seems like that old geezer Lewis is telling the truth. They will get back together again," Isaac took another deep breath as if trying to feel as much air as possible in his stuffy chest.
As Bella’s Grandpa, he felt concerned about his granddaughter. He didn’t want Bella to suffer again if she entered the Sinclair Family.
"I also think it’s possible, Master. I could see Master Tristan had greatly changed."
Isaac closed the book again and turned to see Nick. "What do you mean? Did you ever meet him again?"
"No, I have not met him again. However, I recently discovered that the empty house next to us has a new occupant," Nick said with a smile. "Last night, I found out who the owner is."
"Who?" Isaac asked, puzzled by what Tristan had to do with the empty house next door.
"Young Master Tristan. He moved the same day we moved here."
Isaac gasped in surprise. He couldn’t believe that brat was making a move that fast. He even moved next door to their house!
"Are you sure?" Isaac asked again. It was hard for him to believe.
"Yes, I’m sure. Last night, I bumped into Geoffrey, Young Master Tristan’s Butler. He seems busy preparing a party. He buys so much stuff..." Nick explained everything he knew.
Isaac was speechless hearing that. He shook his head lightly while looking at the garden outside, lost in his own thoughts.
After a few moments, Nick asked again, "Sir, why do you look concerned, Young Lady and Master Tristan getting back together?"
Isaac turned his gaze to Nick. The light in his eyes slowly turns gloomy, causing Nick to grow concerned about his Master’s stress level.
"I’m not worried about Tristan. But, his parents. Especially his mother, even Lewis can’t stand with his daughter-in-law."
"I see," Nick didn’t ask anymore; he knew what his Master was referring to.
Nick didn’t stay longer in that room. He immediately excused himself to return to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family.
****
Bella regretted chatting too long with her Grandpa because the sky now looked brighter. She had missed the sunrise.
She did a few simple stretching movements before running to the main gate.
When Bella arrived at the house’s main gate, she met two houseguards. They were both shocked to see her. They immediately greeted her respectfully before opening the gate.
"Young Miss, are you going to run alone? Do you need company?" The guard asked, worried to see their young miss about to run alone in this place for the first time.
Bella turned to him, "Is this area unsafe?"
What she knew was that Little Heaven was restricted. Only the homeowner could enter this place.
"It’s safe, don’t worry."
"Okay. You don’t need to accompany me. I’ll run myself..." She said and started running toward the hills.
Bella was happy because Little Heaven had special walking, running, and cycling paths under shady trees. So she didn’t need to run in the streets.
However, with facilities as good as this, she didn’t see anyone exercising like her after a few minutes of running.
Rich people here didn’t have time for sports. Even if they did, they would choose to build their gym, like her grandfather.
But, as someone who used to live in the wild while still residing in northern Sweden, Bella preferred activities outside the home.
Going for a run in the mountains or the forest would be fantastic, and it could also calm her mind if she were alone in a place like this.
After fifteen minutes, Bella finally arrived at the top and was surprised to see the view from there.
In front of her, Bella witnessed an open blue sea stretching as far as her eyes could see. And when she looked back, she saw the city.
"What a nice view..." She mumbled while catching her breath, which fell short.
Bella wasn’t happy with her current running results. After running only two and a half miles, she was already panting.
Luckily, this morning’s weather was pleasant; the sun was shining, and the temperature was not so cold; it tended to be warm.
"Gosh! Looks like I’m falling behind..."
Bella was worried about her weak condition after arriving in this country. It would be troublesome if that person knew.
Sigh!
She put aside her worries for now and ran back to her house. This time, she sprinted, raising her pace.
At a different speed than when she had run to the peak, she only took eight minutes to arrive at the area near her house.
"Not bad!" She smiled, looking at her sports watch. While walking toward her house gate, she saw Geoffrey driving a car and waving at her before she entered.
"Good Morning, Young Madam..." Geoffrey politely greeted her and stopped his car near her. He was happy to see her again after discovering she had given birth to his Master’s son.
