"Congratulations Tristan and Lillie. Best wishes to both of you." Matthew greeted the married couple. He was the one carrying FaMo in his hands as they went out of the Civil Registry Office.
"Thank you, Matthew," Zhen-Zhen said with a bright smile on her face.
Tristan put his arms around Matthew's shoulders and said, "Thanks, Bro. You should find your wife soon."
Matthew just rolled his eyes at Tristan's remarks. While Zhen-Zhen gasped in surprise.
"Matthew, don't you have a girlfriend as of now?" Zhen-Zhen asked him in disbelief.
Tristan chuckled. He was the one who answered her question. "No, he didn't have right now. He doesn't know how to woo a girl. He's afraid to be rejected so he didn't try to make a move on them." Tristan was teasing Matthew in front of his wife.
Matthew shot Tristan a cold sharp stare. His face reddened in embarrassnt. He was embarrassed to face Lillie.
"Then… how about the girl on the phone? The one who called you 'Babe? I thought she was your girlfriend." Zhen-Zhen sounded very curious about Matthew's relationship with the girl on the phone.
The two n were rendered speechless when Zhen-Zhen brought up the topic of Vanessa and the phone call. Matthew's face beca more flustered like a crimson red as he rembered that mont when Zhen-Zhen relayed her ssage to them.
That reminded him that he needed to beat Tristan for using his na when he lied to Lillie. He was worried that Lillie might misunderstand him and think of him as a playboy who was sleeping with a girl who's not even his girlfriend. This was Tristan's fault.
Tristan, on the other hand, just let out an awkward chuckle while signaling Matthew to answer her question. Matthew squinted his eyes on Tristan, giving him a deathly glare. Tristan quickly moved away from Matthew to hide in Zhen-Zhen's rear side.
There was a glint of humor in Tristan's eyes as he was enjoying the embarrassed expression of his best friend. He grabbed Zhen-Zhen's hand to intertwine their hands together.
'I wanna beat this best friend of mine for giving this kind of trouble. D@mn. I feel ashad to face Lillie because of what he had done.' Matthew thought to himself.
Then an idea popped up in his mind. Lifting an eyebrow, Matthew smirked at Tristan. That was a kind of smirk with dangerous and warning intent. Tristan frowned imdiately the mont he saw Matthew's expression.
Then Matthew turned to Zhen-Zhen. "Actually Lillie, the girl on the phone is…" He intentionally paused to see Tristan's reaction.
Tristan's face imdiately beca pale as his eyes widened in fright while looking at Matthew. 'What is he trying to do here?'
When Matthew saw Tristan's frightened expression, he burst out laughing. He finally got even with him. Zhen-Zhen was just staring at him in confusion, waiting for him to continue his sentence.
"The girl on the phone is... what?" Zhen-Zhen could no longer wait so she asked him again.
Tristan gave Matthew a warning look.
"Oh, she's soone who already belongs to the past. Am I right, Tristan?" Matthew glanced at Tristan aningfully.
Tristan swallowed up hard before nodding his head frantically. "Yeah, Yeah… she's soone in the past, Lillie, just forget about her existence."
After saying that, Tristan pulled Zhen-Zhen, taking her away from Matthew. "Matt, please take care of FaMo for a while. Lillie and I will go sowhere to celebrate. Bye."
FaMo and Matthew just looked in the running figures of the married couple. Both of them just took a deep long sigh while shaking their head. They hoped that everything would be going smoothly for the couple.
***************
Tristan already reserved a table for two in a famous restaurant in the City of Empire. He made all the preparations last night. This restaurant was unique from the other restaurants in the city because it was located near the coast. It was a floating restaurant by the sea.
Zhen-Zhen and Tristan had to ride a speed boat, transferring them to the floating restaurant nad Captain Jack's Harbour Restaurant. It was a flatboat-converted-restaurant on the Southern coast of Empire City de Bay. In fact, Tristan didn't only book a table for two but he booked the entire restaurant so that they would be the only custors that day in that restaurant.
Captain Jack's Harbour Restaurant was well-known for its best and delicious seafood nu. She was amazed by the splendid view. It looked like a houseboat decorated with fine woods and fresh flowers ornants. Relaxing background music was also playing.
The staff politely welcod them and guided them to their table. The food was already served. Tristan pulled a chair for Zhen-Zhen first before he sat down on the opposite chair.
"How is it? Do you like it here… wifey?" Tristan decided to call her wifey starting today.
Zhen-Zhen could only bob her head, her smile brightened up her lovely face. "Yes… I like it here. It's very beautiful… the ambiance and the surroundings. So relaxing and refreshing. Thank you, hubby, for bringing here."
Tristan couldn't help but smile after hearing her calling him hubby. For an unknown reason, his heart acted abnormally once again. But he tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath.
"I am wondering why there are no other custors here." Zhen-Zhen blurted out randomly while peering at her surroundings.
"It's beautiful here. I think people should co here. I am sure they will really enjoy their experience here." Zhen-Zhen voiced out her thoughts. She felt saddened by the thought that there were no custors present aside from them.
Tristan let out a husky laugh. Zhen-Zhen had no idea that Tristan reserved the entire restaurant so that no other custor would disturb them during their lunch date.
"Don't worry about that. This restaurant will surely have more custors starting tomorrow." Tristan reassured her.
Zhen-Zhen just nodded at him with a smile.
"Wifey, I will just go to the comfort room. Wait for , here, okay?" Tristan said, before standing up and leaving Zhen-Zhen at their table.
Unknown to Zhen-Zhen, Tristan made another surprise for her today. While waiting for Tristan, Zhen-Zhen averted her gaze to the ocean.
Today was a sunny day and the sun shone brightly in the blue sky. The ocean was aqua blue just like her eyes. The waves were very calm today.
Zhen-Zhen stood up and went to the side of the floating restaurant just to watch the fishing boats nearby. She could also see so islands from the distance. The shoreline and white sand were also visible in her spot.
"Oh, they are building a sandcastle too." Zhen-Zhen blurted out with a smile when she noticed the children building sandcastles with a bucket and spade. She rembered the TrisZhen castle Tristan and her made in Oceaniz City.
Then Zhen-Zhen suddenly giggled upon seeing a flying fish, jumping, and swimming on the seawater. She also watched the sea-gulls flying endlessly overhead.
She was busy enjoying the beautiful scenery before her that she failed to notice that Tristan was walking towards her holding a bouquet of white Lilies. Tristan suddenly hugged her from behind while raising the bouquet of White Lilies in front of her using his right hand.
"White Lilies for Lillie yer Davies, my wifey." Tristan softly mumbled in her ear. His chin was placed over her right shoulder while his left arm was wrapped around her narrow waist.
Zhen-Zhen gasped in surprise. Her blue eyes were dazzled by the beautiful flower in front of her.
"Tristan…" That's the only word she could utter.
She was overwheld by the intense happiness she was feeling as of this mont. She took the bouquet of White Lilies in Tristan's hand.
She didn't know why but she had the urge to cry. Her heart was really moved and touched by Tristan's surprise. She really appreciated it. She bit her lips to keep them from quivering and blinked her eyes to get rid of the blur.
When Tristan's right hand was free of the flower, he brought it inside his pocket to take sothing. After a few seconds, he raised his right hand once again, showing another object in front of her. A sparkling silver diamond ring ca to her view.
"This ring is another gift for my wife. You should wear it always so that everyone will know that you are now my Mrs. Davies." Tristan whispered to her once again.
Zhen-Zhen was still speechless so she could only nod her head. Tristan gave her a peck on her cheek before he turned her body to face him. He imdiately held her left arm and put the ring on her ring finger. He raised her hand and brought it to his lips, planting a soft kiss on the back of her palm.
"It fits. And it looks beautiful in your hand," Tristan exclaid, still holding her hand. There was a wide smile on his handso face.
"Thank you, Tristan," Zhen-Zhen told him with her misty eyes.
"Hey, why are you looking like that? I want you to be happy, not sad. Why are you crying?" Tristan felt alard after seeing her teary eyes.
"I don't know. I can't help it. I'm not sad. I'm so happy… very very happy."
Tristan felt relieved after hearing that. He thought he made her sad. He caressed her face before pulling her into a warm hug.
Rubbing her back and stroking her hair, Tristan told her, "Zhen-Zhen, one week from now we will attend Hannah and Andrew's engagent party. On that day, I will introduce you to my family. You will et my family soon, Zhen-Zhen. Are you okay with that?"
"Yes, Tristan. I really want to et them… your family."
