He left the room, his heart beating even faster. Meeting Grandpa Sinclair for the first time since she had left her family made her nervous.
However, before Bella reached the stairs, she stopped and looked at Noora.
-Is he coming to meet grandpa or me? – She asked.
Noora swallowed silently because she had made a mistake. She wasn’t supposed to open the door, but since Nick asked her, he opened it when someone rang the doorbell.
When she opened the door, Noora was surprised to see Old Sinclair. How could she lie to him when she clearly remembered that she was Bella’s servant?
-Actually he came looking for the Old Master, but when he saw me, he asked to see you. I’m sorry, Young Miss… -Noora said apologetically.
-It’s okay, aunt. My grandfather had probably already told him about our return. I’m just surprised he came so soon. “I thought she wouldn’t show herself until tomorrow.” Bella smiled,

-Thank God I didn’t do anything wrong, like telling him to leave -Noora felt relieved.
-Alright. Even if you make a mistake,
it matters.
“You’re right,” Noora smiled as she followed Bella to the first floor, but did not join her in the living room. She excused herself to go to the lake to join Dax and the others.
When Bella reached the living room, she saw a white-haired, broad-shouldered man sitting on the couch with his back to her. Seeing his back, she knew that he
old man was Lewis Sinclair.
Bella composed herself before heading to the area.
seating.
“Grandpa,” he greeted him sweetly. But the moment she met his gaze, all the words she wanted to say about him got stuck in her throat.
Lewis Sinclair stood up from his seat in shock. For a few seconds, they simply looked at each other without either of them speaking.

-My Sir! Bella, so it’s true that you’re finally back… -Lewis Sinclair’s voice trembled. Although he had heard from Isaac Donovan and Tristan about Bella’s return, he still doubted them. He needed to confirm it with his own eyes.
“Yes,” Bella said softly as she smiled.
-That’s good -Lewis Sinclair smiled in turn. He felt delighted. This was what he had always really hoped for – Bella’s return. He needed to meet her in person and apologize for what her family had done to him.
Later,
After Lewis Sinclair sat down again, Bella lowered her head slightly and apologized for leaving without saying anything to him.
-No, dear… Don’t say that. It’s not your fault. In fact, it is our fault for hurting you. Lewis’s voice sounded sincere. For everything my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson did to you, I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart.
Hearing Lewis Sinclair say those words made Bella’s heart feel warm.

In the past, she harbored anger towards her in-laws and Tristan, wanting revenge for their actions. However, after giving birth to Dax, that idea disappeared from her mind.
-Grandpa, I appreciate and am moved by what you did, defending me and punishing them in my place. But that’s all in the past. “I’ve forgotten everything,” Bella said, trying to contain her sad expression.
Bella didn’t want to remember those painful memories again and she wanted to show Lewis Sinclair that she was okay.
Now, she wants to move on and start a new direction, becoming an independent woman.
Lewis Donovan didn’t say anything, but could only nod and agree with her.
“Grandpa, I heard that you are moving here to punish them for what they have done and are doing to me,” Bella cut him off.
Wait, who told you that? -Lewis Sinclair interrupted her.
-My grandfather.

Lewis can’t help but vent his frustration with
Isaac in his mind. How dare he tell something so personal to Bella?
-Grandpa, please stop punishing them and return to the capital, hmm? Your family will blame me even more if you stay here –Bella looked at her grandfather with concern.
“Hahaha…” Lewis suddenly laughs, confusing Bella. Oh dear, no one will dare to blame you. If you do, I will expel you from the Sinclair family.
His words amused Bella. But she didn’t say anything because she didn’t want this gloomy feeling to ruin her mood.
After his laughter subsided, Lewis Sinclair asked:
-How long will you stay in this country?
She was worried that Bella would only stay in the country for a short time and her grandson wouldn’t have the chance to apologize to her and pursue her again.
