Chapter 699 - I Guessed It Right!
Tristan: "Mom, Dad, Grandpa? Don't you know how to knock?"
Zhen-Zhen: "..."
The husband and wife sat up on the bed upon seeing them. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen didn't expect that Grandpa Lu and his parents would just barge into their room without knocking.
'Ahh, I forgot to lock the door. Why did they come without letting us know about their presence first? What if Zhen-Zhen and I were having an intimate moment? They are invading our privacy,' Tristan thought, massaging his temples.
He already informed them that Zhen-Zhen was safe and he brought her home. But since his grandfather and his parents were worried about his wife, they immediately went home to check on her.
Deep inside, he appreciated their deep concern for Zhen-Zhen.. He could tell that his family loved his wife so much. This fact was enough for him to let this slide. He would forgive them for coming inside their room unannounced.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Lu and Isabelle approached them, sitting on the side of their bed. They were looking at Zhen-Zhen worriedly.
Grandpa Lu looked so stressed. The worries and fatigue could be seen on his aged face. He was so worried about Zhen-Zhen and Little Davis.
"Granddaughter, how do you feel? You might have been scared by that incident," Grandpa Lu said, holding her hands.
Isabelle stroked Zhen-Zhen's back to comfort her while Lucas was eyeing Tristan as if he was asking him to tell the complete details of the incident.
Zhen-Zhen felt touched seeing the concerns in their eyes. She could feel the love they had for her and for her babies.
She was not scared because Miho was there and she knew she could protect her babies and herself. However, she felt guilty for making the elders worry too much because of her.
"Grandpa, don't worry about me. As you already know I am not an ordinary human. I have superpowers. I can protect myself and our babies."
Zhen-Zhen smiled tenderly before squeezing his hands. "Grandpa, how about you? Are you okay? I heard that you fainted a while ago. I'm sorry grandpa for making you worry. Please be healthy."
Isabelle and Lucas were taken aback when they heard that. This was the first they heard that Grandpa Lu collapsed and fainted. He was always a strong-willed man with a strong heart.
They were surprised to know that he fainted. He always maintained his brave front, not allowing other people to see his vulnerable side. As much as they remembered, the last time Grandpa Lu collapsed because of too much nervousness and concern was when Grandma Cassandra died.
This only showed how much he cared about Zhen-Zhen and his great-grandchild or rather grandchildren.
"I am fine now after knowing you are safe and sound." Grandpa Lu stroked Zhen-Zhen's hair.
"Grandpa, don't get a heart attack, or else you won't be able to take care and play with your great-grandchildren once my wife delivers our babies." Tristan nagged his grandpa.
If not for Zhen-Zhen, Tristan wouldn't have left his office after seeing his grandpa faint and collapse. He was also worried about him a while ago. Fortunately, Assistant Twig was with them to take care of Grandpa Lu.
"Tristan is right, Dad! You should be strong and healthy! We will do a full-body check-up by tomorrow. Let's make sure that you are not sick!" Lucas also expressed his concern for his father.
Grandpa Lu frowned after hearing their ranting. He felt like he was a child being scolded and lectured by his son and grandson.
With a pout, Grandpa Lu narrowed his eyes at them and said, "I'm not weak. I am healthy despite my age. I am stronger than you two! Don't treat me like a child. Don't tell me what I should not and what I should do."
"Grandpa, we know you are strong. But we have to do a check-up, okay? Prevention is better than cure. Besides, I want grandpa to be healthy. I will be sad if you suddenly get sick Grandpa."
When Zhen-Zhen had spoken, Grandpa Lu changed his attitude and he became obedient.
"Yes, granddaughter. Don't worry, this old man will listen to your advice. I don't want you to be sad. It's not good for your health and our Little Davis."
Tristan: "..."
Lucas: "..."
The father and son duo could feel the difference in treatment just now. Grandpa Lu was stubborn and he argued with Tristan and Lucas. But when Zhen-Zhen spoke up, his attitude changed right away and he became obedient.
Tristan: 'Grandpa is biased!'
Lucas: 'Dad has favoritism!'
Lucas and Tristan exchanged glances with one another as they agreed with those thoughts in mind.
Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle burst out laughing seeing the three men argue and bicker in front of them. Then Isabelle realized something.
"Tristan, Lillie, why do you keep on saying babies, not baby?" She asked them curiously.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen met each other's gaze and smiled gleefully before looking at them. Zhen-Zhen nodded, giving him a go signal.
"Grandpa, Mom, and Dad… there is something we want to tell you. Please brace yourselves," Tristan said, his expression had become serious.
"What is it, son?" Lucas asked them with intrigue.
Grandpa Lu and Isabelle were also looking at them with so much interest in their eyes. They became more curious since Tristan suddenly became serious.
Little did they know, Tristan was just pretending because he wanted to surprise them and give them some suspense.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa… My wife and I… are expecting twins! She is carrying twins!"
Grandpa Lu, Isabelle, and Lucas fell silent for a moment trying to digest Tristan's words.
Grandpa Lu: "Grandson, what did you just say?"
Isabelle: "Expecting twins? Carrying twins?"
Lucas: "What? Did I hear it wrong? Can you repeat it again, son?"
"My wife is pregnant with twins! A baby girl and a baby boy! We will be expecting two Little Davis! Not just one!" Tristan informed them.
He hoped everyone would forget about the negative feelings brought by today's accident. It's the best time to give them the good news.
Grandpa Lu immediately stood up, his face was glowing with overwhelming joy. He could not contain his happiness as he started jumping while punching the air as if he just won a lottery!
"Oh my God! I knew it! I was right! Our family will get twins! Two Little Davis! A boy and a girl! This old man guessed it right. Aigoo!"
