Bella's eyes flashed with shock. She looked at Tristan silently, unsure how to answer or react to his words.
Tristan already guessed Bella must be shocked. Just now, he only wanted to test her because she had always tried to hide her feelings about his parents, and that's why he didn't say only his father wanted to meet her.
"...I mean, when my father asked to meet you, I immediately said that you would definitely refuse to meet him. But my father didn't give up easily. He begged me repeatedly. So, would you spare him your time if he were the only one to meet you?" Tristan hurriedly explained after he saw her seem shaken by his words.
"Your father begged you to meet me?" Bella was taken aback. It was hard for her to believe that her arrogant father-in-law wanted to meet her so badly and apologize directly to her.
