Tristan observed carefully, discerning the mindset of every person present and forming some of his own conjectures. He even doubted the man holding the house purchase contract-did he truly intend to sell the house, or was he just a random pick by Belinda?
Algerone Swain's gaze fell on the unfamiliar man. "No need for the house, you can go now," he proclaimed, effectively dismissing the man. The man glanced at him and then at Belinda, aware that it wasn't him who had invited him.
At this moment, Monica also spoke up, somewhat anxiously saying, "You can go for now. We'll contact you if we need to purchase a house." After all, they were discussing family matters.
Tristan's gaze also landed on the man, adding pressure. Without waiting for Belinda to say anything, the man nodded and said, "Alright, contact me later," and quickly left with his head down.
Tristan's eyes followed the retreating figure of the man, analyzing in his mind. Belinda had a chance to stop the man from leaving, but she didn't. Therefore, Tristan turned to Monica, as if suddenly remembering something, he said, "Oh, Monica, your bag is still at the hospital!"
Monica turned to look at him, her expression filled with confusion. Before she could say anything, Tristan took her by the wrist and led her out of the cottage. In the yard, he swiftly pulled her into the car.
Soon, Tristan drove off, and the girl finally responded, "Are you giving my parents a chance to talk?"
"What do you think?" Tristan drove at a leisurely pace, his voice gentle as the night descended.
Monica ought to have been moved, but she looked back worriedly, "Won't they start arguing? What exactly does my mother want to do?"
"She just wants to see your father, nothing more," Tristan hit the nail on the head, "She never planned to buy a house."
"Huh?" The girl turned her eyes wide, "She didn't plan to buy a house?"
