Chapter 341 - Tristan's Alibi
Tristan helped Zhen-Zhen in putting on her clothes. Unlike before, Tristan's mood already improved. He was now wearing a vibrant and satisfied smile on his face.
Making love with his wife just a while ago helped him erase all the jealousy and unhappiness he was feeling.
"Wifey, I'm sorry. I lost control," Tristan apologized to Zhen-Zhen as he was fixing her dress. He also wiped Zhen-Zhen's sweat on her face using his handkerchief.
Zhen-Zhen was doing the same thing. She was now fixing Tristan's hair, combing it using her fingers.
"I understand, Hubby. But next time, don't do this again in a public place. What if someone caught us doing this? Sigh. You are naughty." Zhen-Zhen slightly scolded him.
Tristan pulled her against his body, hugging her tightly while kissing her head.
"Yes, Wifey. I will try my best. I just felt very jealous that I failed to control myself. Whenever I see you with other men like Liam, I feel threatened as if you might be stolen from me by him. He has a better reputation than me. What if you will just realize one day that you don't love me anymore and you will choose someone better?" Tristan was expressing his insecurities.
Zhen-Zhen smiled at him lovingly. She wanted to erase his insecurity. She didn't expect that Tristan would feel so vulnerable like this.
"Hubby, I told you already. That will never happen. You are the only man I love. My feelings for you will never change. So don't worry too much," Zhen-Zhen said, consoling and reassuring her husband. She hugged him back, stroking his hair.
Zhen-Zhen's words somehow comforted Tristan. He believed his wife but he couldn't promise himself that he won't be jealous anymore in the future.
"Shall we go home now?" Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan.
Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. Suddenly, he felt guilty for his wife. She was supposed to enjoy this party together with her college friends and classmate. But here he was, taking his wife away from them.
'Argh. You are being so selfish, Tristan. I couldn't help it. I always wanted to be with Zhen-Zhen.'
Tristan heaved a deep sigh before shaking his head. "We are not going home yet. The party is not yet over. Go and mingle with your classmates and friends. This time I will not bother you, Wifey. I am really sorry."
Zhen-Zhen giggled after seeing Tristan's apologetic look. "I said it's alright. No need to apologize. Come, let's go back to the venue now."
Zhen-Zhen removed the barrier first and asked Tristan to go ahead first. She had to seal her power once more before she went out of the storage room.
"Hubby, you go first. There's something I need to do. Besides, we should avoid others from seeing us leaving this storage room together. I will follow you after," Zhen-Zhen softly said, caressing Tristan's face.
"Okay, Wifey. See you late."
Tristan kissed her on her lips once more time before leaving her in the storage room. When Tristan went out, Zhen-Zhen began to seal her power.
Tristan felt relieved since the students were busy partying inside the venue. No one was lurking outside so he was confident that no one heard them.
He was aware that the storage room was not soundproof. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan made loud noises inside that could be heard even outside the storage room. Tristan didn't think about it before but now he realized he made a great mistake.
'Argh. What am I thinking? It might cause trouble to my wife. I'm so careless. Fortunately, no one is around,' Tristan hit his forehead at that thought. He had no idea that Zhen-Zhen created a barrier so that no one could hear them inside that storage room.
Just when he thought that the area was clear and no one was around, Tristan was surprised when he bumped into someone just a few steps away from the storage room.
"Liam?" Tristan's eyes widened when he saw him.
"Mr. Davis? Why are you here? Did you just come out of the storage room?" Liam asked him curiously.
There was a gleam in his emerald eyes as he asked Tristan. Tristan couldn't figure out what Liam was thinking right now. But he somehow felt that Liam was looking at him suspiciously.
'How long he had been standing here? Did he hear us?' Tristan pondered at that thought.
"Mr. Davis?" Liam called him out once again since Tristan didn't respond to his last question.
Tristan darted his gaze back and forth between Liam and the storage room. Zhen-Zhen was still inside.
'Did he see me went out together with Zhen-Zhen? She is still inside the storage room. Is Liam going to the storage room right now? But why? This is not good, I should drag him away from the storage room,' Tristan thought to himself.
"Oh, I just went out to take a breather. So many people inside the venue, I feel suffocated. Then I saw the storage room. I'm just curious what are the items inside so I came in to check. By the way, where are you going? Why are you here outside?"
Tristan didn't know whether Liam believed his alibi or not. He was not showing any particular expression but he could see that Liam's eyes were fixed on the storage room nearby.
"I went out to check something. I didn't expect to see you here. By the way, where's Lillie. I thought your wife was with you?" Liam suddenly mentioned Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan fell silent, contemplating what to say. 'Should I give him a hint that I came out with my wife and we had a very very good time inside the storage room?'
Tristan's lips curled up into a mischievous smile. "My wife?"
"Yes, where is she?"
"Ah, she's with… her classmates. I told her to enjoy the night. Why are you looking for her?" Tristan decided to keep silent. What they shared inside the storage room should be kept within themselves alone and others should not know about it.
Tristan immediately grabbed Liam's hand, dragging him away from that place. "Professor Liam, come with me. There's something I want to ask you."
Liam was caught off guard when Tristan suddenly pulled him. There's something he wanted to confirm but Tristan didn't let go of him. Liam just sighed deeply, glancing one last time in the direction of the storage room.
