Chapter 129 - I Didn't Have The Chance!
"What do you mean? I already have a great-grandchild!" Grandpa Lu could no longer stay silent.
He overheard almost half of their conversation a while ago. He was planning to remain quiet while listening however when Lucas mentioned grandchild, Grandpa Lu was tempted to speak up. His gaze automatically shifted on Lilliés flat stomach.
Though Grandpa Lu said those words in monotone, his eyes were sparkling with both excitement and anticipation. The thought of having a great-grandchild brought joy to the old man.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen and Tristan had different reactions after hearing that statement.
Tristan: "..."
Zhen-Zhen: "???"
Zhen-Zhen was clueless about what they were talking about. On the other hand, Tristan had the urge to facepalm hearing his father's baseless accusation and grandpa's followed-up question.
'How can I impregnate my wife? I didn't even sleep with her yet. We didn't do the deed yet! Because I didn't have a chance!' Tristan lamented on his mind.
Thinking back, the first week of their marriage was like torture to him. He regretted asking her to sleep with her in one room and in one bed. For the past week, he felt like something was stopping them from doing the deed.
Every night, he would always be tempted to touch his wife but FaMo was always there, guarding Zhen-Zhen against him. Then suddenly, Tristan started having weird dreams.
Sometimes that weird dream would result in a nightmare. He didn't know how he was able to survive the past week.
In his dream, he tried to sleep with Zhen-Zhen, kissing her passionately and hungrily. At first, he was enjoying his dream, touching her all he wanted, feasting on her lips, tasting every part of her body.
There was no FaMo who was scratching his hand or giving him a cold stare, only him and Zhen-Zhen, having their most intimate moment.
But whenever he was about to claim her purity and go all out, a black menacing-looking fire dragon would suddenly appear, giving Tristan a fright. He was looking at him with a deathly glare who was ready to roast him at any moment.
Tristan would start to panic and his body would freeze from intense fright. After that, the Black Fire Dragon would speak to him saying:
"Don't you dare touch Zhen-Zhen! You are not being honest with her! You still love another woman! Keep your hands off her or else I will roast you alive!"
That dream haunted him for the past few days now. As much as he wanted to be intimate with his wife whenever they were about to sleep, the memories of his dream were stopping him.
The strange and funny thing was whenever Tristan would look at FaMo he would be reminded by the Black Fire Dragon. He couldn't help but cringe and shiver.
Because of that, Tristan was reluctant to get near nor touch Zhen-Zhen. He was trying his best to control and restrain himself, fighting his desire for her.
But he was not sure if he was doing that because of his fear of the fire black dragon or he was bothered by his message, "You are not being honest with her! You still love another woman!"
Tristan didn't know but that dream was intentionally created by FaMo to warn him. While he was sleeping, FaMo tried to connect in his subconscious, making that dream and frightening Tristan so that he could protect Zhen-Zhen.
"Oh my God, Am I a grandma now?" Isabelle also joined Lucas and Grandpa Lu with their assumptions, eyeing both Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
Tristan was pulled out of his train of thoughts when he heard his mother's exasperated voice. Andrew and Hannah had just reached their table when Isabelle suddenly blurted out those words.
Andrews frowned upon hearing that while Hannah froze on her spot with her startled expression.
'Grandma? Auntie Isabelle as grandma… with whom? With Tristan and Lillie? Is that the reason why Tristan married Lillie? Did she force him to do that? Did she seduce Tristan too so that she will become pregnant with his child, leaving Tristan with no choice but to marry her?' More speculation was formed in Hannah's mind at that moment.
She was thinking that it was possible. They said Tristan loved her so how come he would get married soon in just one month?
Despite his scandal with women, Tristan had never committed a mistake to the extent of impregnating them. She was thinking that Lillie played a trick here to force Tristan to marry her.
But unknown to Hannah, she was accusing the wrong person. The main culprit was Grandpa Lu. He was the one who pressured Tristan and forced him to find a wife as soon as possible.
But Grandpa Lu didn't expect that he would marry a woman right away within the one-month duration he gave him. Tristan did that without even introducing the woman to them. Grandpa Lu also thought that his grandson was so fast and had misunderstood him.
What he meant was Tristan needed to find a woman to be his wife within the one-month duration. But Tristan ended up marrying a woman within the one-month duration he gave him.
'Damn! Is my grandson really desperate to retain his CEO position? I asked him to find a girl to become his wife but he ended up bringing us his wife with a bonus grandchild.' Grandpa Lu thought to himself, rejoicing inwardly while waiting for Tristan's response.
Now, all eyes on Tristan, even Zhen-Zhen was looking at him, waiting for his response.
'Seriously? Why are they looking at me like that? With different expressions! This is Dad's fault for making that baseless assumption!' Tristan complained in his thoughts while glaring at his father, Lucas.
"Tristan, son… Why are you keeping your silence? Speak the truth now...or else… I will ask Lillie myself." Isabelle threatened Tristan, urging him to speak up.
Zhen-Zhen who was oblivious of what's going on, leaned closer to Tristan, asking him inquisitively in a low voice.
"Hubby… did I say something wrong? Did I make things worse when I spoke up a while ago?"
Tristan whispered back at her, "No, wifey. You didn't do anything wrong. My parents and grandpa are just overthinking, having their wild imaginations. Just ignore them. It's normal because of their age."
Zhen-Zhen just nodded at him in obedience. Grandpa Lu, Isabelle, Lucas as well as Hannah, and Andrew just watched the couple exchanging words in a low voice. They couldn't hear them clearly. Now, they became more curious.
Isabelle was feeling impatient. She was eager to know if Lillie was already pregnant with their son's child. She was about to ask Lillie but suddenly someone called their attention.
"Please settle down everyone and take your seat. The program is about to start. Let's invite our lovely couple to come to the center stage, now."
In the end, the interrogation of the TrisZhen couple was interrupted when the emcee announced the start of the engagement party of Hannah and Andrew.
"Okay, Let's resume this talk after this party." Grandpa Lu said in respect and consideration to Andrew and Hannah's engagement party.
Their attention was already diverted to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. It's time to give the spotlight back to Hannah and Andrew. Besides, this party was specially made for them.
They were the star of the night but unintentionally the role was taken away when Zhen-Zhen and Tristan made their appearance together with their shocking news.
