Chapter 165 - New Activity For Davis Family Gathering
Oblivious of the fact that they were being watched by someone, Zhen-Zhen and FaMo together with Isabelle proceeded to the parking area.
The butler and the maid were following them behind. They were the ones carrying the things they bought inside the supermarket.
Soon, they went back to the Davis Family Mansion. FaMo was right, the man in the black robe used a concealment spell to hide his power.
That's the reason FaMo was not able to sense him anymore when the man started following him.
After a few minutes, they reached the Mansion. Tristan immediately came out of the house to welcome his wife and his mother at the entrance door.
After the two brothers finished their talk, Andrew went back to the guest room where Hannah was currently resting. Tristan, on the other hand, stayed in the living room, waiting for his wife to come back.
He engulfed her in his arms the moment Zhen-Zhen stepped out of the car. He missed her. He felt bored while waiting for them.
He decided to go out and follow them but he received a message from his mother that they were on the way, going back to the Mansion.
It did not take long when another car stopped in front of the house. Lucas just arrived from his work. As promised, he left the company early because of tonight's Family dinner.
Isabelle also welcomed her husband with a warm hug.
"Dad, you're also back," Tristan greeted his father while he was still hugging his wife.
Lucas nodded at him with a smile before saying, "Yes, son. I can't afford to be late in our family dinner, especially now that my two sons are present together with their beautiful wife and fiancee."
"Hmm, that's true. Let's go inside. I have to cook special dishes tonight. This is the first family dinner with Lillie," Isabelle said enthusiastically.
"Oh, FaMo is here as well," Lucas commented when he saw FaMo looking at them silently.
"Yes, he will also join us. But we need to separate him from Hannah. She's allergic to furry animals, remember?" Isabelle informed Lucas.
Lucas smiled awkwardly as he remembered what happened to Hannah. He just nodded while scratching the back of his head.
After a while, the four of them entered the house. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen helped Isabelle in cooking the food while Hannah and Andrew were entertained by Lucas in the living room.
Grandpa Lu also joined Andrew, Hannah, and Lucas. He was in a bright mood. Lots of good things happened today.
He was able to bond with his granddaughter-in-law. He got to know more about her. He was able to see how his grandson, Tristan, treated his wife sweetly. He was convinced that their marriage was not fake and they were not pretending.
Grandpa Lu was also glad to see his grandson opened up with his wife regarding his longing for his grandma. What made grandpa happier was to see his two grandsons reconcile and fix their conflict. He hoped that these good things would keep on happening in the coming days.
After a few hours of waiting, the dining area was already set. The food was served on the table. Grandpa Lu, Isabelle, Lucas, and the two pairs of young couples were now facing each other at the dining table.
Grandpa Lu was sitting at the center, Isabelle and Lucas were on his left side while the two pairs of couples were on his right side. Zhen-Zhen was in the middle of Tristan and Andrew. FaMo was separated from them because of Hannah. The maid was the one watching over him right now.
While eating, Lucas brought out the topic of the upcoming family gathering of the Davis Family. It was being held every two weeks of the month.
"Tristan, this coming family gathering don't forget to bring your wife and her parents. We would like to strengthen our relationship with the Meyer Family. And this will be a perfect opportunity to do that," Lucas said to Tristan.
"Yes, Dad. I will do that," Tristan reassured his father.
Lucas turned to Andrew. "Same with your in-laws, Andrew."
"I already informed them, Dad," Andrew responded to Lucas, glancing at Hannah who was very silent in her seat.
"Why don't we organize a different family gathering? Doing the same thing over and over again is no fun at all," Isabelle shared her thoughts with them.
Tristan chuckled upon hearing his mother's remarks. "Mom, finally, you realized it. Now, you feel what I feel whenever I would attend the family gathering. I thought I am the only one having those thoughts."
Surprisingly, Andrew also let out a soft chuckle. "I couldn't agree more. I could relate too."
"See, even my brother, Andrew, felt the same way," Tristan added while laughing together with Andrew.
Grandpa Lu: "..."
Lucas: "..."
Isabelle: "..."
Instead of being offended because of the two young men's remarks, the three of them were dumbfounded upon seeing Andrew and Tristan shared the same thoughts with them.
They couldn't remember when was the last time the two of them agreed with each other. They were used to seeing them competing with one another. They had to admit that they were amused by the same reactions of Tristan and Andrew.
Even Hannah was surprised that there was no tension happening between the two brothers as of this moment. She asked herself if the two men already made up with each other and reconciled.
Cough! Cough!
Grandpa Lu cleared his throat after he recovered from that shock. He turned to Lillie who was silently enjoying her food.
"Hmmm, Lillie, since this is the first time you will attend the family gatherings, do you have any suggestions in mind right now?" Grandpa Lu asked her opinion.
Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment, thinking about what suitable activity she wanted to do during the family gathering. She heard from Matthew that the Davis Family gathering would always happen inside the Davis Family Mansion.
Then every member would attend and had dinner together, talking about family achievements and significant events. After that, the elders would do their favorite dance lessons, teaching the younger generations the different dance steps they enjoyed.
Everyone was waiting and anticipating Zhen-Zhen's opinion. They also wanted to know what activity she would propose to Grandpa Lu.
After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen's eyes lit up and her lips curled up into a smile. She already had an idea in her mind.
"Grandpa, since Tristan loves outdoor activities, how about camping? I want to try that as well together with Tristan and the family. What do you think, grandpa? Can we do family camping?" Zhen-Zhen suggested to them with a cheerful and excited voice.
Everyone fell silent after hearing Zhen-Zhen's suggestion. No one had ever thought of doing that kind of thing.
They had to admit that her suggestion looked more fun and exciting than the normal family gathering that they always did in the past.
Tristan was now grinning from ear to ear. He liked Zhen-Zhen's suggestion very much. He was tired of attending those boring family gatherings every month.
He was sure that other family members would complain about this but he didn't care. He wanted to do camping together with his wife so why not do it during the family gathering? But the decision was still in the hand of Grandpa Lu.
Would he agree or not? Everyone averted their gaze to Grandpa Lu, waiting for his response.
Then finally, Grandpa Lu spoke up.
"Hmm, nice suggestion, Lillie. I like that. It was decided then… we will do camping in the next family gathering."
