Chapter 414 - Tristan Was Very Anxious
"Wifey, someone tried to seduce your hubby!" Tristan sounded like a person who was asking for help after getting bullied.
He didn't know why but this sentence was the first one that came out of his mouth after contemplating what to say.
Zhen-Zhen didn't say a word. She just remained quiet. Her silence was making him more nervous and anxious. He felt guilty though he had done nothing wrong.
"But wifey, don't worry. Nothing happened between us. Believe me… this husband of yours is faithful and loyal. I will never cheat on you." Tristan said defensively. He wanted to explain more so that Zhen-Zhen would believe him.
"Wifey, don't get mad at me… please. It's not my fault. You know your husband is a very handsome fellow that's why women are chasing after him, coveting him." Tristan tried to crack some joke to lighten the atmosphere.
"But no need to worry because he is only yours, heart, mind, body, and soul!" He hoped that his words of reassurance would work on his wife to pacify her.
Zhen-Zhen was very silent, that's why he could not tell whether she was mad or not.
After her long silence, Zhen-Zhen had finally spoken to him. "Who's the girl who tried to seduce you?"
Tristan was rendered speechless. He was afraid to know her reactions once she learned that the woman who tried to seduce her was none other than Hannah.
He was certain that Zhen-Zhen would not like it. She might not believe him as well that nothing happened because Hannah was his first love. She might doubt him.
But since he already told her about this, he couldn't lie about the girl who did it. He needed to be honest with her to gain her trust.
"Wifey… it's H-Hannah," Tristan stuttered.
There was a moment of complete silence from the other line after he mentioned that name.
His heart was pounding crazily inside his chest. He felt like crying because of this trouble. He didn't want Zhen-Zhen to get mad especially now that they were apart and a million miles away from each other. It would be easy to placate his jealous wife if he was beside her.
'Argh! This is what I am afraid of. Hannah, why are you punishing me like this! I just fixed my life and started a fresh start with my wife. Why did you have to create a conflict between me and my wife?!' Tristan complained inwardly. He tugged his hair tightly.
If it was possible he would fly right now going to Zhen-Zhen. He couldn't bear the tension. 'I should have done a video call so that I would at least see her facial expression right now! I'm so dumb!' Tristan slightly scolded himself.
"Wifey, listen to me. Remember... I told you last time that Hannah was also in this country right now for her exhibit. Her exhibit was a success so she invited me including Matthew to celebrate. We went to her room, but Matthew was with me. I was not alone, Wifey. You can ask Matthew if you don't believe me."
"When Matthew left, we decided to call it a night. I said goodbye to Hannah. But when I was about to leave, I suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. When I woke up, I was already lying on her bed. Then Hannah appeared in front of me."
"At first, I thought she was you. All I could see was your face. I think she mixed something in my drinks. But I swear, wifey! Before something could happen to us, I recognized her and left her room as soon as possible. Wifey, please believe me." Tristan spoke spontaneously without a stop. He was very nervous, trying to convince his wife desperately.
Tristan felt like he was about to be executed soon.
"Wifey, you can punish me all you want. I will accept it. Scold me, just please speak up. Don't stay quiet like this. You are scaring me more with your silence," Tristan begged her.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen couldn't hide the unhappiness she was feeling right now. Even Sophia could see it in her face. This was the second time she saw Zhen-Zhen looking mad. The first one was when Jade and her friends bullied her.
Sophia wondered if Tristan did something to upset Zhen-Zhen. Sophia could no longer stay silent so she tapped Zhen-Zhen's shoulder and asked her, "Lillie, are you okay? What's wrong?"
Zhen-Zhen who was still holding her phone turned to Sophia with her grim expression.
"Sophia, I have to go. There's something I must do. I won't be attending my next class. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhen-Zhen immediately stood up and grabbed her bag. She already hung up the phone without responding to Tristan.
Sophia just nodded at her, watching her in confusion. She was curious about what happened but seeing Zhen-Zhen's ugly expression, she just controlled herself from asking her further.
"Alright, Lillie, if you need something just don't hesitate to call me. I'm here for you. Okay?"
"Thanks, Sophia. I gotta go. See you."
Zhen-Zhen immediately left their favorite spot and went to an area where there were no other students present.
She contacted FaMo through their mind link.
Zhen-Zhen: "FaMo, are you there? Can you hear me?"
FaMo: "Yes, Zhen-Zhen. I can hear you. Is there something I can help you with?"
Zhen-Zhen: "Yes! FaMo, come to me now. I need your help."
FaMo complied with her request as soon as possible and went to Zhen-Zhen's right away. He didn't hesitate to use his power to teleport as he thought this was very urgent.
'Is Zhen-Zhen in trouble?' He pondered at that thought since he couldn't sense any danger.
It did not take long when FaMo appeared in front of Zhen-Zhen in his fireball form.
"What is it, Zhen-Zhen? What help do you need from me?" FaMo asked her worriedly upon noticing her dark expression. Zhen-Zhen was upset. But why?
"FaMo, help me. Teach me how to teleport! I mean, bring me to Tristan right now! I need to see him!"
FaMo: "..."
