Chapter 237 - Father-in-Law
The husband and wife had finally done the deed, consummating their marriage, and letting each other feel their love for each other. After doing it for the first time, Tristan felt the fulfillment of claiming his wife, possessing her as she was his own. It was the best feeling he had ever experienced in his life.
Since Zhen-Zhen hadn't regained her strength yet, she fell asleep right away after their lovemaking. Tristan just cuddled her in his arms, watching her sleeping figure. Their bodies were still naked underneath the sheet.
The smile on Tristan's face never left. He was very happy. He became honest and had finally expressed his feelings for her. He apologized and she had forgiven him. Zhen-Zhen didn't leave him. She stayed by his side.
Tristan had decided to let go of the past. He would focus on his present and future, and that was Zhen-Zhen. She's his present and future now. Tristan had never imagined that falling in love again would be this surreal.
Tristan pressed his hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat while looking at Zhen-Zhen's beautiful face.
"Argh, my heart is still pounding crazily inside my chest. I'm not a teenager anymore but why do I feel like there are butterflies in my stomach by just looking at her?"
Tristan couldn't help but caress her face. "Thank you, wifey. You don't know how much happiness you bring to my life. You will always be my happy pill."
After saying that, Tristan heaved a deep sigh. "Now I am getting addicted to that pill. I can't get enough of you. Sigh. I will crave for more."
Tristan couldn't help but reminisce about the event that just transpired in this room a while ago. Their passionate moment was kept on replaying in his mind. 'She's mine. Only mine.'
Tristan tried his best to extinguish the flame of desire that was starting to spark again after watching her sleep while their naked bodies were touching each other. He could feel her softness and warmth. Her sweet scent was intoxicating him.
"Damn. It's hot," Tristan complained to himself as he started to feel aroused again.
He wanted to keep cuddling her for a while however his mind was telling him to get up already before he lost his remaining self-control. He sighed deeply before removing his arms that were wrapping Zhen-Zhen's body.
But Zhen-Zhen felt the warmth which was engulfing her body before, suddenly faded, she moved her body closer to Tristan, wrapping her free hand around his body. She sunk into his side, wanting to feel his warmth.
Tristan felt like crying. He bit his lower lip while looking at the sleeping beauty who had just awakened his blazing desire within him.
"Wifey… you're indirectly torturing me right now. Don't you know that?" Tristan softly mumbled, stroking Zhen-Zhen's hair.
He wanted to get up but he was now trapped by her embrace. He didn't want to wake her up since she looked very exhausted. He just lay there, unmoving while looking at the ceiling.
He started to count One up to Hundred to calm himself down. He even counted backward as well.
'One…'
'Two…'
…
'Fifty Seven…'
'Ninety Nine…'
'Ninety Eight…'
He was still in the middle of counting numbers in his mind when suddenly the door of his bedroom swung open and FaMo who was in demon god's form emerged from it.
Tristan was surprised by FaMo's sudden intrusion.
'Shit! What is he doing here? Why did he suddenly barge in?!' Tristan thought to himself while looking at FaMo with disbelief.
FaMo's eyes peered around the room, looking for someone. He frowned the moment he saw Zhen-Zhen and Tristan lying together on the bed. His eyes widened in shock. He could tell that both of them were naked underneath that blanket.
The shock in FaMo's face was soon replaced by anger.
FaMo was giving Tristan a cold sharp glare. "What did you do to my Zhen-Zhen?" FaMo roared at him.
Tristan immediately raised his forefinger and brought it to his lips, signaling FaMo to keep quiet.
"Shhhh! Lower your voice. She's sleeping. You will wake her up."
FaMo was taken aback when he heard that. He paused for a moment, glancing at Zhen-Zhen's sleeping figure. Then he shifted his gaze back to Tristan who was lying on the bed and hugging Zhen-Zhen.
FaMo narrowed his eyes at him. He just regained his consciousness and he searched for Zhen-Zhen right away. He was still weak but he managed to get up from the bed because of his will to find Zhen-Zhen.
'Damn this sneaky fool! He did his move on my Zhen-Zhen while I'm unconscious!!! I just slept for a while then when I woke up, he had already taken advantage of my Zhen-Zhen.' FaMo felt like he was a volcano that was about to erupt and explode right now.
"You!!!" FaMo pointed his finger to Tristan while gritting his teeth.
Tristan facepalmed when he heard FaMo's loud voice. "I said lower your voice, please. Father-in-law!"
FaMo: "..."
He was dumbstruck for a moment when Tristan called him Father-in-law.
'Eh, what is he talking about? Me?! What the heck he suddenly called me His father-in-law?' FaMo pondered to himself.
Tristan heaved a sigh of relief when FaMo finally kept his mouth shut. He had no idea that FaMo just stopped talking because he was dumbfounded when he called him father-in-law.
Tristan didn't know what to call FaMo. He was still thinking that he was the demon god, Zhen-Zhen's father. He didn't know whether he should call him Dad or Pa. so in the end, he just called him father-in-law.
For an unknown reason, Tristan was not afraid of him even though he thought FaMo was the demon god. He was not frightening, unlike the demons and devil he could usually see in the books and movies. Maybe it was because of his good looks.
"Father-in-law, please go and wait for me outside. We can talk in the living room. I will just put some clothes on then follow you. Let's not disturb Zhen-Zhen. She is tired." Tristan whispered to Famo.
Because it was for Zhen-Zhen, FaMo didn't argue further. He just walked out of the room and headed straight to the living room. When he was already outside, FaMo realized that he used the demon god's appearance.
'Maybe Zhen-Zhen thought I was her father and she told that fool.'
Then after a while, FaMo's lips twitched into a sly smile as something crossed his mind. 'Ahuh, so this fool thought I am the demon god and Zhen-Zhen's father.'
Tristan, on the other hand, tried his best to get up from the bed without waking up Zhen-Zhen. After several attempts of escaping from Zhen-Zhen's tight hug, Tristan was able to leave the bed without waking her up.
He put on some clothes before he came out of the room to follow FaMo. It did not take long when Tristan joined FaMo in the living room.
Tristan was not afraid of him but deep inside he was nervous right now. His aura was quite intimidating. FaMo was sitting on the sofa with his serious expression. His arms were folded across his chest while eyeing Tristan from top to bottom.
'Damn! This is so awkward. How should I deal with a father-in-law who is also a demon?'
FaMo just remained silent, making the atmosphere become more awkward between them. Tristan could feel the heavy tension in the air. FaMo was treating him coldly by his silence.
Tristan initiated to talk first and opened up a conversation.
"Father-in-law, first of all, I would like to thank you for telling me about Zhen-Zhen's whereabouts. You helped me find her and you even brought me to her in the mountain. You're so cool and amazing." Tristan tried to lighten the atmosphere by praising FaMo.
Tristan smiled sheepishly at FaMo while scratching his face. But FaMo's face darkened upon seeing Tristan's smile. FaMo couldn't still accept that this fool outsmarted him. He touched Zhen-Zhen when FaMo was lying unconscious in the other room.
FaMo was still annoyed by that thought. He had no idea that Tristan had already confessed his feelings for Zhen-Zhen. While they were on the mountain, FaMo also learned that Tristan and Hannah were the reasons why Zhen-Zhen's inner demon was able to take control of her body.
It almost put Zhen-Zhen in great danger. Tristan hurt Zhen-Zhen's emotionally so she tried to escape from the reality, letting her inner demon to dominate her mind and body. Her inner demon almost committed a great mistake by trying to return to the other world where the guardian warriors were living.
Because of that, FaMo's hatred for Tristan intensified. But FaMo was aware that Tristan was important and very special to Zhen-Zhen. Despite his hatred, FaMo protected Tristan. FaMo didn't want to admit but he was also concerned about Tristan's safety.
After his long silence. FaMo finally spoke up to Tristan. "Don't call me father-in-law. I don't like you for my Baby Zhen-Zhen. I will find a much better son-in-law."
Tristan: "..."
