Zhen-Zhen and Tristan together with Isabelle and Grandpa Lu ate their lunch together. FaMo also joined them. He also got a separate plate while eating with them as if he was also another guest.
Isabelle was very attentive to FaMo while Grandpa Lu's attention was focused on Zhen-Zhen. Tristan felt like he was the outsider. His grandfather and his mother completely neglected him.
Before, they were eager to invite him to have als with them in the Davis Family Mansion. Every ti he would co, his parents as well as Grandpa Lu would always pay attention to him.
But today, it felt different. FaMo and Zhen-Zhen beca the center of attention. Honestly, he didn't mind it at all.
However, there was one thing that he was unhappy about: Zhen-Zhen's attention was divided because of his grandpa. She was also attentive to Grandpa Lu and it seed like Tristan's presence had been forgotten by her.
Tristan was jealous of his grandpa. Zhen-Zhen thought he was sick so she was making sure that Grandpa Lu would eat more today to gain more strength.
"Grandpa, how is it? How does it taste? Do you like it?" Zhen-Zhen asked Grandpa Lu expectantly.
She wanted to know if Grandpa Lu liked the food she cooked.
Grandpa Lu bobbed his head as a response while chewing the food in his mouth. After the food in his mouth was already gone, Grandpa Lu spoke up.
"Yes, Lillie. It tastes delicious. Not bad for your first ti cooking!" Grandpa Lu said, complinting her.
Grandpa Lu was not lying just to assure her. The food she cooked was really good.
"Yes Dad, I agree. I was also surprised. Lillie is a fast learner," Isabelle also comnted.
ow! ow! ow!
Even FaMo shared his thoughts with them. Grandpa Lu, Isabelle, and Zhen-Zhen ended up laughing when they heard FaMo's owing. It was only Tristan who remained quiet.
This ti he could no longer stay silent. He had to do sothing to get Zhen-Zhen's attention back to him.
"Wifey! How about ? Why are you not asking ? I'm your husband, rember. You don't want to hear my opinion?" Tristan said with his pitiful look.
That's the ti Zhen-Zhen turned to face Tristan. She was sitting in the middle of Tristan and Grandpa Lu.
"What's wrong, hubby? You didn't like my cooking? Do you have different comnts from Grandpa? Grandpa said it's delicious." Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan anxiously.
Grandpa Lu and Isabelle looked at Tristan with their eyebrows raised.
Tristan was rendered speechless. He didn't an that he had different comnts or opinions from Grandpa Lu. All he wanted was for Zhen-Zhen to pay attention to him as well.
"Wifey, I haven't tried it yet. Co, feed . Aah." Tristan opened his mouth waiting for Zhen-Zhen to feed him.
Grandpa Lu facepald when he saw his grandson acting so childish. He knew what he was trying to do.
Isabelle, on the other hand, could no longer hold her laughter. Her son was acting like a spoiled child, trying his best to get his wife's attention.
Zhen-Zhen just smiled brightly at Tristan before she scooped the food on Tristan's plate to feed him. Tristan was satisfied after getting fed by Zhen-Zhen.
His bright mood ca back. Grandpa Lu and FaMo just shook their head helplessly while looking at Tristan who was smiling like a fool.
After lunch, Tristan took Zhen-Zhen away from Grandpa Lu and Isabelle so that he could spend more ti with her.
He decided not to go back to the company. Besides, the Chairman also lied about getting sick just to leave the company.
FaMo wanted to follow the husband and wife so that he could keep his eyes on Zhen-Zhen or rather on Tristan.
But unfortunately, Isabelle had cornered FaMo once again thus stopping him from following the couple. Tristan's mother unknowingly helped him to have so private ti alone with his wife by holding FaMo in a while.
He couldn't explain why but Tristan felt reluctant to act intimate with Zhen-Zhen whenever FaMo was around. So it beca his habit to steal kisses from Zhen-Zhen behind FaMo's back.
Tristan brought Zhen-Zhen to his favorite spot in the Davis Family Mansion. That spot was one of the flower gardens of his grandma.
There was a bench in the middle of the garden. It was surrounded by different types of flowers. Zhen-Zhen's face brightened up when she saw the beautiful flower garden.
"Grandma was the one who planted and took care of these flowers," Tristan said to Zhen-Zhen with a gentle smile on his face.
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head. Grandpa Lu had also ntioned it to her a while ago.
They were walking in the stone pathway side by side. Tristan's arm was hooked on Zhen-Zhen's waist.
"Tristan…"
"Hmm?"
"Do you miss, Grandma Cassie?"
"Yes, every day. She's my best buddy. She doted on so much. Among the family, she's the one who could understand well. I loved Grandma so much."
Tristan couldn't help but feel emotional whenever he would think of his grandma.
"If she's alive, I know she will like you too. She would be happy to et you. Too bad, I was not able to introduce my wife to her. She always told how excited she was to know and et a woman who would beco my wife." Tristan paused for a mont, reminiscing the past.
"Wifey, we are ten years late. Grandma was gone." There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
Zhen-Zhen halted on her steps. She turned to face Tristan. His lips stretched into a smile but didn't quite reach his hazel eyes. It was a sad smile.
Zhen-Zhen imdiately tiptoed, planting a soft kiss on his forehead. After that, she brought her right hand to his chest where his heart was beating.
Tristan was taken aback by her sweet action. He was amazed that Zhen-Zhen had a unique way of consoling him. It brought warmth into his heart.
"Grandma Cassie would always stay here in your heart and there... in your mind."
Zhen-Zhen rubbed his chest then she pointed out the spot where she kissed Tristan, emphasizing that Grandma Cassie would always be there in his heart and his mind.
Tristan was at a loss for words. Zhen-Zhen's action really touched his heart. His eyes suddenly beca teary for the first ti.
It's embarrassing for a man to shed tears in front of a woman. That's what Tristan was thinking so he tried his best to hold his tears.
He couldn't help but beco sentintal after talking about Grandma Cassie with his wife, Zhen-Zhen. This was the first ti he opened up to soone regarding his longing for his late grandma.
Tristan grabbed her hands and brought them to his lips, kissing the back of her palms.
"Thank you, Wifey. You comforted well. I was feeling sad a while ago. But now, I am feeling better." Tristan told her truthfully.
Zhen-Zhen flashed her signature charming smile before saying, "Of course, that's my job. I don't want my husband to be sad."
Tristan let out a soft chuckle after hearing her last remarks. Then he leaned down, giving her a peck on her cheeks and lips.
Unknown to them, soone was watching them from behind. Grandpa Lu had also overheard their conversation.
Grandpa Lu was wearing a gentle smile on his face as he watched the sweet couple.
"My dear, Cassie… I hope you will be at peace upon seeing this. Our grandson had finally found a good wife."
