Chapter 235 - My Angelic Demoness
Tristan had a lot of explaining things to do for Zhen-Zhen. He already missed his chance. The most depressing part was that she learned all of this from other people first, instead of him.
Tristan squeezed Zhen-Zhen's hands which he was holding. He had to be honest with her, or else Zhen-Zhen would try to leave him again.
He didn't want her to go back to her world, leaving him here. They might not see each other again if that's happened. He didn't know if he could handle it. Just thinking about it, his heart was already clenching in pain, how much more if it happened for real?
Tristan took a very deep breath before he started explaining everything to her.
"Zhen-Zhen… wifey, first of all… I would like to say sorry because you got to learn those things from others. It should have been me who has to tell you those things." Tristan apologized to her sincerely. He owed her an apology.
"Please forgive me, wifey, for not telling you this sooner. I was a fool for dragging it for so long. Because of this, you ended up being hurt because of me." The regret and guilt could be seen in his hazel eyes.
Zhen-Zhen just remained quiet as she wanted to hear everything Tristan wanted to tell her.
"I won't deny it. Hannah was the woman I loved before. She's my first love and my first heartbreak. She's the woman I wanted to marry. If I couldn't have her then I should stay single forever." Tristan was being honest with her.
Zhen-Zhen pouted and grumbled, "I'm jealous. You're hurting my feelings again."
Tristan didn't know whether to cry or laugh because of Zhen-Zhen's reaction. He chose the latter and ended up letting out a soft chuckle while pulling Zhen-Zhen closer, engulfing her into his arms.
"Wifey, let me finish first. Listen carefully to everything I will say to you." Tristan squeezed her in his arms, hugging her tightly.
Zhen-Zhen just bobbed her head as a response but she's still pouting. Tristan planted a soft kiss on her head before continuing. He couldn't help it. His jealous wife looked adorable.
"I thought she's the only woman whom I would love from this lifetime. But I realized I was wrong. You unexpectedly came into my life. You are my angelic demoness sent to me by God to redeem me."
Zhen-Zhen frowned and mumbled, "Angelic Demoness?"
Tristan let out another husky laugh.
"Yeah, you have the blood of a demon but for me, you are my angel. So you're my angelic demoness."
Zhen-Zhen's lips curled up into a bright smile after hearing that. "Hmm, I love that."
"Wifey, the video you saw… it happened before I met you. My life changed the day I found you on that mountain. Yeah, at first I was selfish and being greedy for asking you to marry me without you knowing the true meaning of that. It was solely for my own gains and benefits."
Zhen-Zhen squinted her eyes at him. But Tristan just laughed after seeing her glaring eyes.
"But honestly, aside from that, I think I ended up proposing to you because you bewitched me that day. Wifey, tell me honestly, what did you do to me that day?" Tristan asked her exasperatedly.
"I didn't do anything." Zhen-Zhen defended herself.
"Since the day I saw you in that waterfall, I couldn't help but keep thinking of you. Why are you so beautiful? Your innocence and irresistible charm stole my heart in an instant." Tristan sighed helplessly when he said those words.
"As time goes by, I am becoming more addicted to your presence to the extent that I don't want to be separated from you anymore. You are like a magnet, pulling me closer to you every day." A faint smile formed in the corner of Tristan's lips.
"I was planning to give you a surprise that night. But everything went wrong. I was looking forward to seeing you. I didn't expect Hannah to come. When Hannah confessed to me, I was confused since my heart didn't feel the same way before."
Tristan paused for a moment. Then he slightly turned her body so that they could see each other face to face, eyes staring at each other's eyes.
"Wifey… please forgive this fool husband of yours. It took me a while before I realized my true feelings for you."
Tristan gently caressed her face using both hands. He looked at her intently, his eyes filled with love and affection for her.
"I never plan to fall in love with someone again. But just one day, I woke up and realized you have already replaced Hannah in my heart."
Zhen-Zhen was rendered speechless hearing those words from Tristan. She couldn't believe it. Her heart was touched by his words.
Badum! Badum! Badum!
Her heartbeat started to pound rapidly and wildly inside her chest. She could hear it, loud and clear in her ears. She was overjoyed by Tristan's confession.
"Zhen-Zhen, I may not be the best husband you can have, but I will do my best to make you happy. I will also protect you with all my life."
"I know there are lots of men out there who are better than me. Outstanding men who are more deserving of your love. I'm not a perfect gentleman, Zhen-Zhen. I did a lot of unpleasant things in the past. I am a total jerk."
Tristan's expression became sullen and gloomy. He was aware of the fact he was already tainted but his wife was so pure and innocent.
"But still… I am selfish and greedy. I can't let you go now. You are my wife. You are mine, Zhen-Zhen. I don't have any plan of letting you go. Divorce? No way!!! I have to die first." Tristan said with so much conviction in his every word.
"So you have no choice… you have to be stuck with me forever. This is the proof." Tristan grabbed her hand and showed her their wedding rings.
"Zhen-Zhen… I love you." Tristan softly mumbled. Then he raised her hands, bringing them to his lips as he kissed the back of her palms.
Zhen-Zhen couldn't utter a word. She was overwhelmed by the joy and happiness she was feeling right now.
She was over the moon as Tristan confessed to her. She could feel his sincerity. Tristan was not lying. He's definitely not lying.
His confession brought tears to her eyes. Drops of tears started to fall down her cheeks coming from the corners of her eyes. Her lips trembled. She had no words to say.
Tristan felt alarmed seeing her shed tears before him.
"Wifey, don't cry. Am I making you sad again?"
Zhen-Zhen shook her head. For an unknown reason, her eyes turned back to their blue colors. Tristan was glad to see those two beautiful blue orbs once again.
His sweet and loving Zhen-Zhen was back for real. Suddenly, his yearning and longing for her overpowered his heart and mind.
Unable to resist, Tristan's lips covered hers in a long warm kiss that left both of them short of breath.
He broke the kiss for a few seconds, whispering again those three magic words using his sensual and raspy voice "I love you, wifey…"
'I love you, my angelic demoness.'
He sealed those words with another hard kiss. When his warm lips met hers again, she returned his kiss passionately and intensely, with so much eagerness.
