Chapter 219 - Conflicting Thoughts
The next morning, everyone disassembled their respective tents. The members of the Davis Family were preparing to go home today.
They had a fun family gathering yesterday. Since everyone was busy with their own businesses and matters, the elders allowed others to leave the camping site first and not join them during breakfast.
The elders were already satisfied with the outcome of this family gathering. Everyone enjoyed the fun games. They were able to have bonding moments last night as well.
The Family had still no idea what happened to Andrew. The only unfortunate thing they knew was about the emergency situation involving Mrs. Miller. The Miller Family was still in the hospital but they heard that Mrs. Miller would be discharged today.
For Andrew's side, he woke up a few hours after he got treated in the hospital.
He saw Liam sitting beside his sickbed. He didn't expect to see him. Liam informed him about what happened. Alveena told Liam everything over the phone.
Andrew decided not to call his family. He didn't want them to worry. He knew that they were still at the Camping Site and resting. He woke up at around 5:00 am so he didn't want to disturb his parents.
In the first place, it was his fault for driving under the influence of alcohol. He didn't want to give them trouble as early as this morning so he chose to hide this incident from his family for now.
Meanwhile, Tristan was not feeling good as well. Zhen-Zhen continued ignoring him. He also didn't get a good sleep.
After leaving their tent last night, Tristan just stayed inside his car. He just turned on the heater because it was very cold last night plus he was alone and Zhen-Zhen was not in his arms.
He stayed awake, just thinking about Zhen-Zhen and Hannah.
The twins immediately approached Tristan when they saw him looking absentminded in his spot. He didn't look good.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Frowning as early as this morning. Pffft... you look like a panda. What happened to your eyes?" Jake laughed at him, teasing Tristan.
Blake hit his twin brother's head, giving him a warning glare. Tristan was already not in a mood but Jake was just making him feel worse by teasing him.
Jake pouted at his twin brother. Blake hit him again. Then Jake turned to Tristan once again.
"Kidding aside, what happened to you?"
A long deep sigh escaped Tristan's mouth before he answered Jake. Blake also focused on Tristan.
"My wife, she's acting strange since last night. She was avoiding me and she didn't even want to talk to me." Tristan lamented to the twins.
"Hmmm, maybe she saw what happened between you and Hannah last night," Blake shared his thoughts with them.
Jake reacted immediately. "Oh, noh! If that's the case then... Tristan, you are doomed! What are you going to do now?"
"Will you ask her for divorce and be with Hannah?" Jake added that gained another smack in the head from his twin brother, Blake.
"Ouch! You hit me twice!!!" Jake complained to Blake.
"Watch your mouth, Jake. You are not helping, do you know that?!" Blake scolded his brother.
Tristan just remained silent. His face was covered by both confusion and uncertainty.
After a while, Matthew also joined them. "Hmm, why are the three of you gathered here? What are you discussing? You look very serious."
"Oh right! Hahaha. Matthew, you are not updated about the latest news. Something big happened last night. Tristan's surprise for Lillie was ruined. Hannah confessed her feelings for Tristan! She also liked him before! Now, Lillie is avoiding Tristan!" Jake proudly said to Matthew.
PAK!
"Aww!"
Jake received another hit from Blake. Jake wanted to hit his brother as well but Blake was able to avoid his punch.
Meanwhile, Matthew frowned after hearing that.
"So, what's the meaning of this? Did Lillie see everything that's why she went missing last night? How will you fix this, Tristan? I already told you before! You should have told Lillie about your true feelings." Matthew couldn't help but scold Tristan.
"Are you having second thoughts now? Are you planning to divorce Lillie and pursue Hannah?" Matthew also asked the same question as Jake.
Tristan just remained silent, burying his face using his hands. His mind was about to burst from thinking a lot of things.
Jake's blabbering mouth and Matthew's nagging were both making him feel worse.
"Please… I want to be alone." Tristan said pleadingly, dismissing Matthew and the twins.
Blake signaled Matthew and Jake to leave Tristan for a while. The two men just nodded at him with a sigh.
The three of them decided to leave Tristan. But before that, Blake told him something.
"Tristan, I'm afraid not only Lillie saw what happened last night. I think Andrew witnessed something too. I saw Lillie and Andrew together last night." Blake informed Tristan.
"I told you that I found Lillie in the targeting shooting area, right? Andrew was with her."
Tristan was startled after hearing that from Blake. He didn't know what to say as of this moment.
'If Andrew also saw everything then things would be more complicated now,' Tristan couldn't stop himself from worrying about this matter.
Tristan slammed his eyes shut and massaged his temples.
"Alright, Blake. Thanks for informing me."
Blake just nodded while looking at him worriedly. Then he finally left Tristan.
Tristan was being problematic now. He didn't know what to do. But one thing was for sure: he didn't want any of this to happen.
From a distance, Daniel and Mark were observing Tristan. They could see his troubled expression right now. The two cousins were rejoicing.
"It seemed like our plan last night really worked. See… Tristan looks like he is in trouble. I can see that Lillie is avoiding him since this morning," Daniel commented, smiling from ear to ear.
Mark bobbed his head with a wide grin. "So true. I think the two of them had a fight. Good job to us, cousin!"
Mark and Daniel made a fist bump.
Mark: "Serves him right!"
Daniel: "I'm enjoying this. I love watching his miserable expression."
