41 Tell Dax About His Father
Dax was excited, waiting for his mother to respond to his curiosity.
Bella smiled slightly as she ruffled Dax’s hair gently before saying, “Dax, I’m sorry I didn’t talk to you about him sooner.” Because it’s hard for me

-Okay, Mom. “I understand,” Dax responded with a warm smile. He didn’t want to see his mother sad about her, so he took her hands and touched them gently.
Bella actually felt even sadder seeing how thoughtful her son was. She tried not to cry in front of him.
“Your father isn’t dead, if you think he might be.” Bella took another deep breath. She hadn’t expected it to be so difficult to talk about Tristan in front of Dax. And he is also from this country.
Dax’s eyes lit up.
“But, my dear, I won’t tell you his name for now,” she said, only to see how his eyes turned

Dax didn’t know how to respond. He just nodded to his mother, although he felt disappointed.
-I’m telling you this because, in a few days, you will probably meet your great-grandfather on your father’s side. “So, I think by then, you’ll know a lot more about your father and his family,” she says.

After saying those words, Bella felt relief on her shoulders. She couldn’t help but praise herself for overcoming her worries, although she hadn’t said it in detail.
Dax was surprised to learn this. His smile widened and the light in his eyes became even brighter. However, he was worried that he had heard

She repeated her mother’s words to make sure – Mommy, did you say that I would also know my great-grandfather on my father’s side?
-Yes-Bella was amused to see how excited her son was. It was the first time she had seen this side of him-she looked so cute with her spring smile.
He regrets not telling her about his father sooner.

-Are you so happy to meet him in person? -Bella smiles as she caresses her chubby cheek.
Instantly, Dax’s smile fades, and his expression slowly changes to calm.
‘My God! He’s back into ‘lristan mode again, cold and

-Yeah. I’m excited to meet another family. besides you and Grandma Noora. Thank you, Mom, for letting me meet Great-Grandpa Donovan. And… What was his name? You told me his name a couple of weeks ago. Can you tell me again, Mom? -She said with her calm and distant tone.
“Oh, nice try, little man,” Bella laughed as she ruffled his hair. I told you I wouldn’t name names for now. If he did, I know you would search for information about him all night. And you’d probably stay up until morning. Remember, we must get up early to visit your friend’s house.
Great-grandfather tomorrow, and we need to look fresh. Only sleep will make us look fresh, remember? -She explains softly.

Dax, “…”
‘Oh no… Does Mom know my trick!?’ He sighs in
silence.
-Is there anything you want to ask before going to bed? -Bella asked again before her: about returning to her
room.
Dax thought for a moment. He wanted to ask a lot of things, but he was sure that even if he asked, she wouldn’t answer because the question was quite direct.
After a few moments, he searched for a way to find just a small clue about his father. To the

-Mommy, is my father a good man?
“Of course, he’s a good man,” Bella said sincerely. Although Tristan had been very cold towards her, he never hit her or scolded her. She had only heard hurtful words from him the day she signed her divorce papers.
“I see,” Dax nods slowly. Was he cheating on you?

O
Little man, how do you know that word?
-Mom, no one told me. “But I read it…” Dax explained, frowning, “I was confused why his mother looked so shocked by the word ‘cheat’.”
-What article did you read to learn that word? Bella started to worry. She had made sure that the iPads and laptops she gave him were child-safe.
-Did you change the settings on your iPad and laptop? – Bella asked her, although she knew the answer. Dax couldn’t change her because only she knew the
password.
-No, mom. Why do you look so shocked? That’s just a normal word. “Even for a boy my age,” he said calmly.
When he saw that she didn’t say anything, he continued:
-I read an article -Reasons why single mothers raise their children alone-. That article discusses why some mothers decide to be single. One reason, that I remember, was that her husband was cheating on them. It is not like this?
Bella was speechless. ‘You really are a child of

“Dax, make sure you don’t read anything inappropriate for your age,” she said firmly, or Mommy will take away your iPad and laptop! Forever!
-I promise. I know cheating is bad, Mom. But how did dad deceive you? -Dax asked again as he saw her get out of bed.

-Well, the word cheat is not as simple as you thought. However, talking about it with children your age may not be the best idea -Bella feared

more curious.
-Okay, so my father was actually cheating on you, right?
-Bella…
-Oh, my dear Dax, I didn’t say that. “Don’t try to twist your mom’s words.” She smiled, realizing that this little man was trying to lure her into a trap so she could find information about him.

-Mommy… Wait… Can I ask you one last question? -Dax said with a mixture of hope and dream in his eyes.
-Are you sure it will be the last? -She looked at him with half-lidded eyes.
He nods.
-Yes… I promise -Dax said while making a V sign to promise.
“Okay, go ahead,” Bella said, feeling

One last question before going to bed.
-My father is a mafia boss famous for his kindness?
