"The baby shall be Dylan. I've thought about it," said Luna. "It's a pretty name. Dylan Cullen."
As earlier agreed, they bought a car and Luna also hired an elderly nanny because she needed guidance in baby raising. Slowly days passed and little Dylan finally made four months.
One day, Ethan had brought Leah to see Dylan because she had been throwing tantrums at home saying she missed him so much. As soon as they reached, Leah's attention went on the baby who was lying in his crib giggling at her. Bella was preparing dinner but on Ethan's arrival, Luna decided to replace her and sent her away to join him in the sitting room which she happily did. Luna proceeded with cooking and suddenly she thought of something and grinned.
When Bella came to the sitting room, she found Ethan busy on his phone and sat opposite him. "What are you doing?" she asked. "Just some work," he answered absent mindedly. "You're ever working you should learn to have a rest." "I do rest." Then Bella decided to ask something she had always wanted to," Uhm.... can I ask you something personal?" "Sure." "Uhm... where's Leah's mother?" Ethan raised his head and looked at her then turned to see Leah's attention on the baby before he said," She left." Bella didn't understand. Was she dead? Did she just leave him? "I didn't get it," she said. "She left us for someone else," he said his voice devoid of any emotions. "Oh I'm sorry," she said.
She wondered how stupid a woman could be to leave such a man. She wouldn't dare. She sighed and he said," You shouldn't be. We got used to it." Just then Luna came in and said," Ah, Bella I think we are in short of some spices, could you go and get them? But it's soon turning dark I wouldn't be at ease if you went alone." Luna winked at her and she understood that she wanted them to have sometime together. Luna wanted Ethan and Bella to spend some good time together and get closer before she speaks to Ethan about her. "Uhm... Ethan could you please go with Bella to the supermarket and she gets the missing things?" asked Luna. "Sure. Leah, you need anything from the supermarket?" he asked. "Yes papa. I want a candy to gift it to baby Dylan," she said. "Leah, little Dylan can't eat candies yet." "Then I don't want anything."
With that, they went outside and left in Bella's car with her driving but little did they know that they were being watched and followed.
On their way, they were talking about random things with Bella talking more and Ethan just responding and complementing. They reached the first supermarket and he noticed that she was bypassing it then asked ," Ain't we going there?" "No they don't have nice things. We usually use the next one," she lied. She just wanted to prolong her stay with him. After sometime, they reached the next supermarket and Bella shopped some things mostly snacks taking her time. They reached the counter to pay and an elderly man standing next to them told Ethan," You have a good girlfriend. I can tell with the way she looks at you that she truly adores you."
Bella's heart skipped a beat when she heard him. Ethan didn't have the time to explain so he just smiled and nodded at him. Bella's happiness knew no bounds when he didn't bother to deny it. After paying, they entered the car and began to drive off. Since it was already dark, there weren't many cars on the road. After driving for a while, they found three policemen who had placed road blocks. They lowered the car mirrors when one approached them and he said," Oh Mr. Carter? A good evening to you. We are sorry for the inconvenience but an accident has occurred ahead so they are still clearing the scene. We would kindly request you to turn back and use the shortcut because this may take a while. We are truly sorry." He spoke with all sincerity and Bella turned the vehicle to use the shortcut. Ethan felt something off with them but he shrugged it off assuming that he might be over thinking. But as soon as their car drove away, they removed the road blocks before discarding their police attires.
