The CEO’s Wife Is A Demon God’s Daughter

Meanwhile, at the veranda, Tristan and Hannah finally spoke up to each other. It was Hannah who broke the silence first.

"Congratulations on your Marriage," Hannah blurted out, trying her best to sound cheerful but deep inside she was feeling down.

She couldn't still believe that Tristan was already married despite his Casanova reputation… despite the fact that he had feelings for her.

Tristan, on the other hand, didn't feel upset when he heard her congratulatory message. He thought he would feel bitter once he heard that coming from his first love. But surprisingly, he was not that affected anymore, unlike before.

Maybe what they said was true. Acceptance was one great start to heal your broken heart. He had long accepted that Hannah could no longer be with him because of Andrew. He saw how they matched each other very well and how much they loved each other.

With no bitterness in his heart, Tristan said to her, "Congratulation on your engagement too. I wish you all the best and all the happiness in this world." Tristan gave her a genuine smile.

Upon hearing that, Hannah couldn't help but feel her heart being squeezed right now. Her eyes became misty. 

With her trembling voice, she responded, "Thank you, Tris."

She should feel happy but she couldn't. She wanted to say the same thing to him. She wanted to wish him more happiness together with Lillie but the words were stuck in her throat. She couldn't utter those words.

Hannah looked away and lowered her gaze, trying her best to hide her teary eyes. Tristan just looked up, watching the night sky. There were lots of stars shining brightly above them. Their surroundings were engulfed by silence once again.

It looked like Tristan had no plan to say another word so Hannah initiated to bring up the topic she was dying to ask him.

"Tristan…" she softly mumbled, glancing at Tristan who was still observing the night sky.

"Yes?" Tristan simply said, shifting his gaze from the night sky to Hannah's face.

"I am dying to ask you this, but..." Hannah was a little bit hesitant. She didn't know if she should ask him or not. She was afraid that his answer would give her more confusion especially about her feelings.

Tristan just blinked his eyes, watching Hannah with intrigue. He could feel that something was off with her. He could see it through her troubled face.

"Is everything okay? Just tell me, Hannah." Tristan said looking at her worriedly.

Hannah took a deep breath, mustering up her courage. She had to ask him now, or else she would never get another chance to find this courage and speak up with him.

"Do you really love… her?" Hannah wanted to say "me" but ended up saying "her". 

She was always like this. She was always afraid of confronting him about his feelings for her even when they were still young.

Tristan fell silent after hearing that. He assumed that Hannah was referring to Zhen-Zhen. He couldn't find the answer to that as of now so Tristan remained silent.

He was still confused. He knew Zhen-Zhen was special to him. He genuinely cared for her but he didn't know if he could call it love. 

His mind was still blinded by his feelings for Hannah. He thought his feelings towards Hannah was the only thing he could consider love.

Because of his silence, Hannah was able to calm herself down. This time she would ask him.

"How about me?" She finally said it. This was what she wanted to confirm. Hannah was all eyes on Tristan, waiting for his answer. 

Tristan was dumbfounded for a moment by her direct question. Hannah was asking him at this moment if he loved her.

After thinking, Tristan realized that it was no use to deny it so he answered her truthfully.

"Yes, I did love you," Tristan said while looking straight in her eyes. When he finally said that, it felt like a heavy burden weighing on his heart had been lifted.

Meanwhile, Hanna's heart skipped a beat when she heard his confession. The feeling was different when you heard it from the person himself.

"Then.. why didn't you tell me before?" Hannah asked him. She even raised her voice because of her frustration. 

She was thinking that Tristan was a coward. He could woo a lot of women but he couldn't even confess his true feelings to the woman he truly loved. That thought made Hannah more upset right now.

However, Hannah didn't expect the next word from Tristan: the reason why he didn't confess to her.

"I was about to confess to you but I decided to hide it… because… you said you like Andrew."

Hannah gasped in surprise when she heard that. She couldn't believe it that was the reason why Tristan decided not to confess his feelings with her.

The regret was written all over her face. She could still remember that moment. She did it herself. She told him that she liked Andrew. She didn't know that Tristan was about to confess to her that day. Now, it's too late. They couldn't bring back the past.

Tristan just smiled at her. He felt lighthearted now that he was able to tell Hannah the truth.

"T-Tristan… I-I" Hannah wanted to say that she lied at that time but she was not able to finish her words as Zhen-Zhen and Andrew arrived.

"Oh, here they are!" Zhen-Zhen's cheerful voice echoed in the veranda.

Tristan immediately turned around only to see Zhen-Zhen and Andrew walking towards them. When he saw Zhen-Zhen together with Andrew, Tristan immediately dashed towards Zhen-Zhen, pulling her away from Andrew.

"Why are you with him?" Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen with a deep frown on his face.

"Andrew and I are looking for you and Hannah," Zhen-Zhen promptly responded to his query.

Tristan and Andrew met each other's gaze. Andrew moved closer to Tristan as he whispered something to him.

"Don't give me that kind of look, brother. I didn't do anything wrong with your wife. But I have to warn you. While you are busy chatting with my fiancee here, our cousins, Mark and Daniel approached your wife. She went out to search for you."

After hearing that, Tristan's face darkened as he clenched his fists. It looked like his evil cousins were targeting his wife this time.

'I could no longer tolerate them. It's time to give them a lesson.' Tristan thought to himself while gritting his teeth.
