Chapter 517 - You Have Me!
Tristan ranted at FaMo spontaneously, scolding him for not stopping Liam. How come Liam was able to take Zhen-Zhen if FaMo was there with her?
Tristan gave FaMo a suspicious look. "Father-in-law, don't tell me you are shipping my wife to that green-eyed punk?!"
Tristan blatantly accused FaMo. He even called Liam green-eyed punk out of annoyance. He couldn't accept that FaMo didn't do something against him. He thought FaMo just allowed Zhen-Zhen to be with Liam.
FaMo felt like his eardrums were exploding after hearing those accusations from Tristan. He stood up and walked over, pinching Tristan's face. He wanted to smack his forehead but he couldn't do it since Zhen-Zhen was there.
"Don't accuse me, you dumb fool! I will never ship her to anyone. You are Zhen-Zhen's husband and the father of her baby. Why should I find another man for her?"
Zhen-Zhen just giggled seeing the interaction between FaMo and Tristan. She was glad to see the great improvement in their relationship.
Meanwhile, Tristan felt like he was over the moon when he heard those phrases from FaMo.
"Does it mean you already approved me for Zhen-Zhen, Father-in-law?" His eyes lit up and his face was glowing with happiness.
"Of course! You already have proven to me how much you love her. Besides, I could see that my Zhen-Zhen is so happy when she is with you," FaMo admitted to Tristan.
He was also saying this to console Tristan in advance. He knew that Tristan would feel bad once he learned that Liam had a superpower just like Zhen-Zhen.
He remembered Tristan asking him to give him power in order to protect Zhen-Zhen but both FaMo and Zhen-Zhen refused. Besides, they were not sure if it would work or not.
There must be pros and cons when transferring power to an ordinary human. FaMo had no experience in doing this before. Zhen-Zhen didn't want Tristan to suffer for the sake of acquiring magical powers.
Zhen-Zhen tilted her head to plant a soft kiss on Tristan's cheek. She could see the joy in Tristan's eyes. She liked to see his smile. Just a while ago he looked so upset and annoyed because of Liam.
"But father… I am curious how and why Liam took my wife? What did he do to you, wifey? Did he hurt you? Did he tell you he liked you? Is he trying to steal you from me?" Tristan bombarded them again with so many questions about Liam.
"No, it's not like that," Zhen-Zhen responded.
FaMo sighed deeply before dropping the bomb to Tristan.
"Liam has a superpower."
Those three simple words from FaMo caused a huge blow on Tristan's ego. He was dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't know what to say as he was still trying to absorb FaMo's words.
'Liam has a superpower? Does it mean he is also powerful just like my wife? How is that possible?'
Tristan gave FaMo a questioning look. He wanted to hear more about Liam's ability. Tristan wished to have magical powers and super strength so that he could protect his wife against the guardian warriors who wanted to hurt her.
However, it seemed that his wish would never come true. Was it really impossible to happen? But how come Liam had the thing he was wishing for?
Before, he was jealous of him because of his clean reputation. Now he became more insecure and inferior to Liam because of his powers.
'Why am I so worthless and useless that I can't even protect my wife?' Tristan felt horrible.
FaMo continued supplying Tristan with information about Liam's ability.
"He could also teleport. He used that ability to move Zhen-Zhen to another place. Don't worry, he is not that powerful. I just became careless and fell into his trap," FaMo said, justifying his failure to prevent Liam from taking Zhen-Zhen.
Deep inside, FaMo also couldn't accept that Liam was able to trap him easily using some unknown source of power. He knew that Liam was a water-element wielder but he had no idea that he was also a shaman and a healer.
Liam didn't reveal all his power. FaMo didn't even notice that Liam put his mark on Zhen-Zhen.
"Liam said he wanted to confirm something about my power and he wanted to tell me about his power. That's what he said when we were in a mountain cave at Mr. Argon," Zhen-Zhen also joined the conversation.
After telling Tristan everything, FaMo and Zhen-Zhen noticed Tristan's silence. He was really bothered by this discovery.
He felt like Liam became the greatest competitor he had right now. He was worried that Zhen-Zhen would become closer to Liam since they were alike.
After his long silence, Tristan finally spoke up. "I'm so jealous of him. I want to ask him how he is able to get that power."
"Father, Zhen-Zhen, can I also have power? I want to have power too," Tristan added with his desperate voice.
FaMo and Zhen-Zhen exchanged glances with one another. They could feel the helplessness in Tristan's voice.
This time Zhen-Zhen turned around to face Tristan. She cupped his face, her clear blue eyes meeting his hazel eyes.
"Why do you still want to have that power? FaMo will always be here for us, protecting our family. Don't be jealous of him just because he has magical power," Zhen-Zhen softly said, comforting him.
"Don't think about those trivial things. Though you don't have powers, still you have me. Am I not enough, Tristan?"
Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. Zhen-Zhen was right. Of course, Zhen-Zhen was more than enough! She was the most precious thing or rather person he could ever have in his life.
"I love you just the way you are, Tristan, with or without magical powers," Zhen-Zhen added, before leaning in to kiss him on his lips.
And just like that, Zhen-Zhen was able to wash away his insecurity towards Liam. Her words were enough to pacify his jealous heart. Of course, kissing her was the most effective one.
FaMo just shook his head before standing up. He turned into his cat form and left the room quietly without saying goodbye.
The husband and wife were already in their own magical world, just kissing each other passionately.
