Chapter 325 - One True Love
Zhen-Zhen caught Tristan's hand to stop him. His stimulation made her hot and throbbing. She had to stop him from further teasing her.
Because if he won't stop, Zhen-Zhen would feel a strong need to be touched by him and let him do what he wanted.
If that would happen, she was afraid that she couldn't contain her moan anymore and people on the stage might catch them doing something they were not supposed to do in public.
Zhen-Zhen heaved a sigh of relief when Tristan finally stopped teasing her. He went back holding her hand under their table.
Tristan was now smiling from ear to ear as he continued squeezing and rubbing Zhen-Zhen's soft warm hand. This simple intimate act between them soothed him most.
Athena saw him smiling. She couldn't help but admire him. He was more gorgeous and attractive when smiling like that. She thought he was enjoying the performance of the band that's why his mood brightened up.
When the band finished their first performance, the hosts announced that the dance floor was now open. Students could now start partying.
The invited Band started to play their next song. It was a sweet and romantic song, allowing the couples to enjoy the dance floor.
Grandpa Lu turned to Zhen-Zhen and whispered, "May I have the honor to dance with my granddaughter-in-law?"
A gentle smile swept across Zhen-Zhen's lovely face when she heard Grandpa's invitation. She immediately nodded her head in agreement, accepting Grandpa Lu's invitation.
The other higher-ups including the University President stood up to find their respective dance partners. Grandpa Lu extended his arm to Zhen-Zhen in which she gladly accepted.
Tristan felt jealous of his grandpa. Who would have thought that his own grandpa was the one who would steal his wife's first dance from him?
Tristan could only sigh frustratedly as he let go of Zhen-Zhen's hand. Grandpa Lu and Zhen-Zhen stood up as they went to the dance floor.
Tristan just watched them with envy in his eyes. He felt like crying. Athena, on the other hand, took her courage to invite Tristan for a dance.
"Mr. Davis… would you like to dance?" Athena softly asked him, biting her lower lip.
She was not sure if Tristan would agree. But she gambled on this. She would like to know if Tristan would give in once she's the one who would show her interest in him first.
Tristan glanced at her with a blank expression. 'Did she just invite me to dance with her?'
After his long silence, Tristan spoke up to answer Athena's invitation. "Miss Athena, I'm so sorry but I don't dance."
Athena: "..."
"By the way, you can go and join your friends and classmates. Don't worry about me. No need to accompany me here. Besides, I have my assistant here," Tristan pointed at Matthew who was sitting next to Athena.
"Thank you for being my usherette tonight. You can now enjoy the party. Go and mingle with your friends," Tristan added, giving her a faint smile.
Athena's face became pale after hearing that. She was rendered speechless. She could only nod in agreement. Tristan just blatantly rejected her invitation. He didn't even give her a face. With that, there's no reason for her to stay and embarrass herself further. Athena immediately left the stage to join her friends.
When Athena left, Matthew moved closer to Tristan. He sat on the chair where Athena was sitting previously. He patted Tristan's shoulder, his eyes sparkling with pride as he looked at him.
"You changed for good huh? I noticed how you ignored your beautiful usherette tonight. She tried her best to get your attention but failed. I'm surprised you didn't give in with the temptation of a beautiful lady beside you. I have to commend you for that," Matthew said while smiling teasingly at Tristan.
Tristan rolled his eyes skyward. He knew he was teasing him and partly commending him.
"What do you think of me? A guy who would flirt with every woman who was chasing after me?"
Matthew bobbed his head frantically, "Yes, you were like that before you met your wife."
Matthew let out a soft chuckle after that. He decided to bring up the past. Because of that, Tristan hit Matthew on his shoulder.
"Do you remember the things you said to me the day you brought Lillie here to the City of Empire?" Matthew asked him expectantly. There was a gleam of humor in his eyes.
Tristan frowned as he couldn't remember what Matthew was referring to. "What things I said?"
Matthew told Tristan their discussion to remind him about the things he said before.
{ Matthew: "Are you changing for good now for the sake of your future wife? Does it mean you will also stop seeing other women from now on?" }
{ Tristan: "Hahaha, changing for good my ass?! Of course not! Nothing will change. That's one of the reasons why I chose Lillie to be my wife instead of choosing someone among my women." }
{ Tristan: "I am not going to hurt her. Besides, the two of us have a deal. She will also benefit from this setup. I didn't deceive her. She was willing to be my wife." }
Tristan's face contorted as he remembered saying those things to Matthew. He cursed himself inwardly.
"Damn. I was really a total jerk at that time," Tristan said, feeling disappointed in himself.
Matthew chuckled once more. "I know right!"
"But I'm glad Tris… you unknowingly changed your habit because of Lillie. You asked her to marry you at first, just thinking about the gains and benefits you could get from her."
"Who would have thought you would end up falling for her so deep? She even helped you move on, mending your broken heart. Now, I could see that your love and loyalty are only for her."
Tristan stared at Zhen-Zhen who was dancing with Grandpa Lu. Matthew was right, he had already fallen in love with her so deeply.
And his love for her was getting stronger and stronger every day to the extent he didn't want to be separated from her even for a second. Every day, all he could think of was to make love with her.
