After the lovemaking session this morning, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen left their bedroom with a vibrant smile on their faces. They saw FaMo in the living room together with his substitute, watching television.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen noticed the loud volu of the television. FaMo just glanced at them, pretending that he didn't know what transpired inside their bedroom.
"Good morning, Fa-Fa. Good morning, Pam-Pam."
Both FaMo and Tristan gazed at Zhen-Zhen with their confused look. "Pam-Pam?" They asked Zhen-Zhen in unison.
She smiled at them, scooping FaMo's substitute in her arms. She carried the new mber of their family and enthusiastically said to them. "Yes, my nickna for "FaMo', I will call him Pam-Pam from ti to ti."
Zhen-Zhen could see that FaMo looked gloomy whenever she would call his substitute "FaMo'. She could understand him because that na belonged to FaMo. She gave him that na.
The joy was evident to FaMo's face after hearing Zhen-Zhen. He was glad that Zhen-Zhen was now calling his substitute as Pampam, not FaMo.
Tristan, on the other hand, just smiled at her sheepishly. He didn't know whether this was just a coincidence that Zhen-Zhen gave the fake FaMo a new na or she already knew that the cat he brought to the house was not the real FaMo. As long as, Zhen -Zhen was happy, then it's okay for him either way.
Soon, the four of them took their breakfast together. During their als, Tristan brought up the topic of visiting the Davis Mansion today. He promised Grandpa Lu that they would visit today.
"Father-in-law, Zhen-Zhen, and I will go to the Davis Mansion today. I'm afraid that I can't bring you with us. Is it okay with you to stay here while we are not around? I also have a feeling that my parents and grandpa will ask us to stay over." Tristan asked him politely.
Tristan couldn't help but feel anxious since he was afraid that his father-in-law would not allow them to go without him. He felt guilty since he couldn't introduce him as Zhen-Zhen's father.
But to his surprise, FaMo agreed almost imdiately. "Okay. I will stay here together with Pam-Pam. So don't worry about us. No need to bring Pampam with you."
Tristan: "..."
Zhen-Zhen: "..."
FaMo emphasized that Pampam should stay behind. He couldn't bear to see that his substitute would be able to co with Tristan and Zhen-Zhen while he, himself, couldn't do it. He felt jealous because
Pampam: "ow! ow! ow!"
The cute fluffy cat was just enjoying his al, clueless about the jealousy the real FaMo was feeling towards him.
In the end, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen agreed with FaMo's suggestion.

~ The Davis Family Mansion ~
Grandpa Lu was so excited today because Zhen-Zhen and Tristan would co to visit. He also invited Andrew and Hannah to join them.
"Father, why are you keep on looking at our entrance door?" Isabelle asked Grandpa Lu curiously as she observed him looking at the door from ti to ti.
She had just done preparing the ingredients for the nu she would be cooking for lunch when she passed by the living room.
Grandpa Lu cleared his throat first, trying to maintain his composure. His daughter-in-law just caught him eagerly waiting for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to arrive.
After a few minutes, the people he was waiting for finally arrived. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan walked inside the room hand in hand.
Upon seeing Isabelle and Grandpa Lu, Zhen-Zhen quickly approached them. She hugged and kissed them both. Tristan followed her from behind.
It did not take long when Lucas also joined them. Andrew also arrived just ten minutes after. But they wondered because he just ca alone. Hannah was not with him.
"Son, you are here. Where's Hannah?" Lucas asked his son.
The boys were sitting on the veranda while Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle were busy in the kitchen. Andrew paused for a mont, thinking of the alibi he could use to explain why Hannah didn't co with him today.
In fact, Andrew ssaged Hannah about this small family gathering today but he didn't receive any response from her. He had no news or updates about her.
Deep inside, he was worried about Hannah. Andrew simply asked Mr. and Mrs. Miller about her whereabouts without letting them know that they were seeing each other for days now.
"Hannah went on a trip together with her friends." That's the answer he got from her parents.
Andrew felt relieved since Hannah was doing her best to cope up as well. At least, she had friends with whom she could share her troubles. He knew they would take good care of Hannah.
"She couldn't make it today. She's busy for the upcoming exhibit of her paintings," Andrew partly lied to them.
Lucas and Grandpa Lu just nodded at him. Tristan, on the other hand, glanced at Andrew worriedly. He didn't know why but he sohow felt guilty for his brother.
He hoped that Hannah and Andrew would be able to fix their problems and be happy again just like before.
Now that he finally found his happiness, there's no bitterness left in his heart. He had finally moved on.
Tristan wished Hannah and Andrew to forget the past and moved forward as well.
But Tristan had no idea that the relationship between Andrew and Hannah was being tested right now. No one knew if they could go back to how they used to before after this cool off.
When Andrew joined them, Grandpa Lu simply signaled Lucas, telling him to leave the two brothers alone so that they would have their private ti together.
Lucas understood what his father was trying to say. So the father and son duo made so excuse, leaving the two brothers in the veranda.
"Bro, how are you?" Tristan asked Andrew.
Andrew averted his gaze to Tristan. He was still not used to hearing the word 'Bro' from Tristan. But he had to admit that he liked to hear him calling that.
Andrew gave him a faint smile. "I'm doing fine. How about you… Bro?"
