Chapter 469: Dinner With Spencer Family (5)

Bella stopped abruptly, staring at Sean Spencer, sitting alone on the sofa, his eyes fixed on her. She couldn't believe he had shown up at the last minute, especially when she had thought he wouldn't join them.

'Why did he suddenly appear here!?' Bella wondered, tightening her grip on Tristan's arm.

Sensing her unease, Tristan patted her hand and leaned in closer to whisper, "Why are you nervous about meeting him?"

Bella snapped out of her thoughts, looked up at him, and smiled while shaking her head. "I'm not nervous. I'm just surprised to see him here. He already told his mother he couldn't come. It feels suspicious."

"Don't overthink it. This is his parents' house; it's normal for him to show up," Tristan teased. "If you're worried he might cause trouble, I can promise you he won't. He promised me he would no longer have romantic feelings for you. And he is a man of his word."
