Bella walked into the room after standing outside for a while in shock, she was killing herself downstairs thinking about how to apologize to him and they were here planning something mischievous.

“Happy birthday!” They shouted the moment she walked into the room. Bella couldn’t help but smile when she saw they were working hard all along to make her smile. She couldn’t hold in the smile as she walked in.

“What is this? I can’t believe you all were here all along.” She said to them still covering her mouth with her hand in disbelief of what she saw.

She sat on the couch in his room and looked at the cake they prepared for her.

    Isabella pov Hearing him talk about being unable to sleep made me think it might be because of the arrival of his girlfriend, maybe he was thinking we’re going to make her uncomfortable. “I shouldn’t be bothered about her presence right?” Tristan asked and turned to look at me with a smile on his face, my heart melted seeing the smile but I just knew it would be a wrong idea to let myself fall for him immediately. “She’s your girlfriend so you have to be bothered, I mean my kids are here living with you, she might start thinking there’s more to it, she might think we have a kind of relationship and if I were her ? I would feel bad.” I explained to Tristan. “What makes you think she’s my girlfriend?” Tristan asked me. “I thought she was your girlfriend.” “She’s not, we broke up already so I don’t know why she’s here and what she wants.” I turned to look at Tristan when I heard what he said. I was trying to read him to know if he’s telling the truth or he was lying becaus

The bullies that were walking towards that direction couldn’t go to them again. “Good thing he came.” Patience said a little above a whisper, she looked really relieved to see him which he noticed. “You forgot this.” Tristan said to them as he was handing the brand new iPad to them. Patience turned to look at Pete when she collected it from him. “I thought of giving it to you at home but I realized most of your school mates have one and they’re all taking it to their classes.

I should have been able to tell that they barely had a smile on their faces every time they return from school but it was almost impossible because I had my thing going on here aswell, I prioritized my work over the kids.” “Don’t say that Bella, you swallowed so much just so that you could give them a good life not because you didn’t want to see them happy, you are a good mom and every child deserves a mom like you.” Tristan said to me. I turned to look at him because I thought he was only trying to make me feel better which is why he is talking to me like that and saying so many good thi
