And just before they arrived at the living room, Geoffrey appeared and walked beside her. She was somewhat surprised but quickly hid her teary eyes.
"Young madam, thank you for giving birth to Young Master Dax. Thank you very much," Geoffrey said in a hushed but grateful tone.
Geoffrey knew what had happened in the past, how the Sinclair family had abused Bella. Knowing she was still giving birth to Sinclair's successor touched him deeply. She was strong, managing her pregnancy, giving birth, and raising her child alone.
Bella remained silent, struggling to hold back her tears of joy as she watched her son meet Tristan. But seeing Geoffrey's tearful expression only served to sadden her further.
She smiled gently at him before turning her gaze away, once again fighting back her tears. Thinking she had succeeded in hiding her emotions, she was surprised to hear Tristan's voice close to her ear.
