Chapter 268 - How To Be A Gentleman?
"Great! Master- I mean Mr. Zu Wan, we need your help and cooperation with this." After saying that, Tristan winked at FaMo.
FaMo: "..." ( Why am I suddenly included here?)
As if Tristan had read FaMo's mind, he decided to elaborate on his last statement.
"We will do our practice today because tomorrow is Saturday. Sophia had no more time to simulate things of what she will do tomorrow. So I am suggesting that Zu Wan and Sophia will go on a date today until dinner to practice everything."
FaMo: "..."
Sophia: "..."
"Oh, I like that idea!" Zhen-Zhen immediately agreed and supported Tristan's suggestion.
A blush had subconsciously overtaken Sophia's face. She couldn't look straight at FaMo's eyes. She's very embarrassed as of now.
FaMo was about to complain at Tristan when suddenly, Sophia spoke up.
"I'm sorry to trouble all of you because of this. I think we should not do this. I don't want to hassle others because of my concern. But Mr. Davis and Lillie, thank you. I really appreciate your good intention to help me. Don't worry about me anymore." Sophia said that because she noticed the displeasure on FaMo's face a while ago.
She thought FaMo was against this idea because she was ugly and not beautiful. Was there a handsome guy who would try to date a girl like her? No one. That's what she was thinking.
On the other hand, FaMo was taken aback by Sophia's action. He didn't mean to look upset when Tristan said that. It's not that he didn't want to go on a date with Sophia.
He was just annoyed because Tristan suddenly said it without even consulting him. Besides, he also had no idea what to do during dates.
'How am I supposed to know that? I was a mighty dragon all my life. Dragons don't date. So how am I supposed to help her with this?' FaMo thought to himself.
But seeing the troubled expression of Sophia, FaMo didn't have the heart to reject Tristan's suggestion.
"No. It's just fine with me. Let's do the practice today!" FaMo said with certainty in his voice.
"That's great!" Tristan even clapped his hands because of excitement.
Zhen-Zhen also became happy when hearing FaMo. He was also willing to help her friend. She gave FaMo a gentle smile and a grateful look.
Little did they know, Tristan had an ulterior motive of why he chose FaMo to be Sophia's date when in fact, he could have asked Matthew to do it. Matthew had more experience with dating than FaMo.
He wanted to have private time with Zhen-Zhen but he couldn't do that if his so-called father-in-law was also present in the house. He was planning to have a heart to heart talk with Zhen-Zhen.
Aside from that, He was afraid that his father-in-law might hate him more and would not approve of his relationship with Zhen-Zhen once he learned about Tristan's past. So he wanted FaMo to be away while he and Zhen-Zhen would talk together.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen was glad because FaMo would also experience how to date as a human. It would be an amazing moment for him.
She was also at ease knowing that FaMo would be the one helping her friend, Sophia. Zhen-Zhen knew that FaMo would take good care of Sophia. FaMo and Sophia were both important friends to her so she wanted them to get along well.
"Wifey, Sophia, and Mr. Zu Wan, wait for me here. I will just inform Matthew that we will leave the office early and give him some instructions," Tristan informed them, excusing himself.
Zhen-Zhen and Sophia nodded at Tristan while FaMo stood up to follow Tristan. At first, Tristan had no idea why FaMo stood up. It turned out he wanted to ask Tristan about things to remember and things to do when going on a date.
Upon leaving the girls and closing the door of his office, FaMo immediately grabbed Tristan and pulled him on the corner. He was so strong that Tristan could do nothing but follow him.
"What is it, father?" Tristan asked him curiously upon seeing FaMo's very serious expression. He was looking at Tristan intently as if he was about to eat him at any moment.
"Tell me… what to do during dates," FaMo said to him using his authoritative voice.
Tristan tried his best to hold his laughter. He was aware that the demon god might be clueless about what he should do when dating a girl. Besides, he came from another world. To think about it, Tristan was a little bit surprised that his so-called father-in-law agreed to his suggestion.
He thought he would refuse to do it because he was going on a date with another woman, not Zhen-Zhen's mother. Fortunately, he was willing to help Zhen-Zhen's friend.
Soon, Tristan gave FaMo some tips.
"Father-in-law, there's only one thing you should keep in mind… you need to act like a gentleman." Tristan gave him a meaningful look.
"'How to be a gentleman?" FaMo threw him another question.
Tristan began to enumerate the things he should do to act like a gentleman.
"You should be courteous in front of her and the people around you. Open a car or establishment's door for her, especially when you two are riding a car or going to a restaurant. You should be the one to pay the bills as well. That's the basics."
FaMo nodded at him. He was listening to Tristan attentively, taking notes of those tips. "What else?"
Tristan rubbed his chin and continued talking. "Initiate a conversation. Sophia will be nervous but you can help her feel at ease and comfortable if you will take the lead in conversation and ask her about the things she likes."
"From time to time, give her compliments and refrain from making negative comments," Tristan added.
"Ok. I got it."
Now, Tristan looked like he was the Master and FaMo was the disciple. The two continued their conversation. FaMo learned a lot of tips from the naughty Casanova. At least, FaMo gained confidence now. He somehow knew what to do.
