Novel Full Chapter 119 - Visiting His In Laws
Tristan couldn't believe what he had just heard. His grandpa was being unreasonable this time. That's what he thought.
He slammed his eyes shut while massaging his temples.
'Me messing around with women? Zhen-Zhen is not just any woman. She's my wife! I brought my wife with me for a lunch date. What's wrong with spending that much on celebrating this occasion with my wife?'
"Okay, forget it! Tell Grandpa I will give him a proper explanation next week. I will even bring him proof. So make sure he will activate my card or else, he will regret it!" Tristan said to Assistant Twig, feeling frustrated.
"Okay, Young Master. I will inform Chairman Lu. By the way, we delivered the invitation card for your brother's engagement party next weekend. Since you were not present, we left the card to Matthew." Assistant Twig informed him.
"Okay. Got it. Thank you Mr. Twig. I'm hanging up now. Goodbye. See you next week… at the engagement party."
After saying that, Tristan ended the call.
"Just you wait old man! You will regret freezing my credit card once you hear my proper explanation for you." Tristan's lips twitched into a mischievous smirk.
After talking to Assistant Twig, Tristan went back to the fitting room where Zhen-Zhen was waiting for him. She had just finished fitting some clothes on. Tristan had exhausted all the cash money that he brought with him just to buy those clothes for Zhen-Zhen.
Every dress she tried looked good on her so Tristan decided to buy all of them. Aside from that, they didn't forget to buy gifts for Alice and Thomas, Zhen-Zhen's adoptive parents.
When they were done shopping, Zhen-Zhen and Tristan headed straight to the house of Alice and Thomas. Lillie's parents were already waiting for them.
Alice immediately hugged Zhen-Zhen when they arrived.
"Congratulations to both of you. Wishing you all the happiness." Alice said to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen, greeting them cheerfully.
"Welcome to our newly wedded couple. Good luck with your new journey as husband and wife." Thomas also joined his wife in congratulating Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
"Thanks, Ma… thanks Pa," Zhen-Zhen mumbled, feeling grateful to them.
Tristan returned their congratulatory greeting with a faint smile. Then he gave them the gift they bought just a while ago.
"Special gifts for my in-laws." Tristan politely said the husband and wife.
"You don't have to give us so many gifts. We should be the ones giving you gifts." Alice said to Tristan.
"Mother, Father... please accept these gifts. Lillie chose these items herself while thinking of you." Tristan said, persuading them to accept their gifts.
Tristan used Lillie that's why he was able to convince Alice and Thomas to accept those gifts. Besides, he didn't lie. Zhen-Zhen was the one who selected those items.
She chose three sets of clothes for Alice and Thomas. She also selected some accessories for her mother and father.
The four of them had a little chit chat. Tristan grabbed the opportunity to inform him about his plan.
"Mother, Father… I will inform my family about our marriage next week. I will officially introduce Lillie as my wife."
"So you mean… your family doesn't know about this yet?" Thomas asked him with disbelief.
Tristan nodded his head, "Yes… they don't know yet. But don't worry, I know they will be happy to hear this good news." He reassured them.
"Okay, son. Just take care of Lillie." Alice said while stroking Zhen-Zhen's hair.
Zhen-Zhen smiled at Alice.
"Ma, don't worry. Tristan is doing a great job of taking care of me. I will also enter College soon, to study photography. Ma, Pa... I passed the Educational Placement Examination." Zhen-Zhen finally informed them of another good news.
"She even topped the exam!" Tristan added, feeling proud of Zhen-Zhen.
"Wow! That's great. Our dear daughter will attend school now." Alice uttered with delight.
"Congratulations, Lillie, our dear daughter. You're the best!" Thomas also expressed his happiness after hearing the good news.
"Thanks, Ma and Pa!"
"By the way, Mother and Father, I just want to give you a heads-up. After meeting Lillie, I am certain that my family will ask me to invite the two of you so that they can also meet my wife's parents. There's a possibility that we will have a family gathering. Are you willing to meet them?"
Tristan wanted to hear their thoughts. If they were not yet ready to meet his family then he would not force them.
"Oh son, of course, we are willing to meet them. We want to meet your family too. I hope they will be good at treating Zhen-Zhen. We are not rich just like you. I'm afraid that they will be against your marriage." Alice had voiced out her concerns for Zhen-Zhen.
"That's true. We are worried about that… the difference in our status." Thomas also shared his thoughts with them.
"Tristan… Now, I'm nervous. What if your family will not like me?" Even Zhen-Zhen was influenced by Alice and Thomas's negative thoughts.
Tristan just watched the three of them helplessly. They were overthinking. As far as he knew, his parents would never do that. They won't judge people based on living conditions or status. That's why he was not worried at all.
"I am certain that they will like Lillie. If otherwise, then they had to respect my decision. This is my life so I have the right to choose the person I want to marry. And I already chose Lillie." Tristan said, freeing those three people in front of him from those negative thoughts.
"Okay, Son. We will trust you with that." Thomas said to Tristan.
"Yes, father. You have my words." Tristan swore to them.
With that, Alice and Thomas felt relieved. After spending more time with Thomas and Alice, Zhen-Zhen and Tristan had decided to go home. Matthew was still there at his place, waiting for them.
When Tristan and Zhen-Zhen had finally returned home, Matthew gave Tristan the invitation cards before leaving his Condo Unit. The newly married couple was now alone in the house together with FaMo.
What would be their plan for their first night as a married couple?
