The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 128 - Zhen-Zhen Meeting Her In-Laws



Zhen-Zhen and Tristan were already sitting at their assigned table when Isabelle and Lucas joined them. Tristan immediately stood up to greet his parents. Isabelle hugged her son but her eyes were focused on Zhen-Zhen, assessing her. Lucas was doing the same thing as he was carefully observing the couple.

Zhen-Zhen also stood up when she saw Tristan's parents approach them. She already recognized their faces.

"Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Davies," Zhen-Zhen greeted them first with so much politeness in her tone. She also flashed her charming friendly smile to them.

Isabelle and Lucas were taken aback by her friendly and approachable behavior. They didn't know why but they could only see the sincerity in her warm smile. Seeing her face to face like this, they couldn't believe that the woman in front of them was the same woman who tried to seduce Andrew. They couldn't see any boldness or fierceness in her aura, only a kind, and innocent girl.

"Hello, are you Lillie, right?" Isabelle returned her smile.

Zhen-Zhen just nodded her head as a response.

"Do you know us?" Lucas asked Lillie since she immediately called them Mr. and Mrs. Davies.

She bobbed her head once again before answering him, "Yes, Sir. You are both Tristan's parents."

Lucas let out a soft chuckle after hearing her respectful and very formal response. 

"Oh, Lillie, if you really know us, then you should not call me, Sir. Call me Dad instead." Lucas didn't know why but those words just came out naturally in his mouth.

He didn't confirm yet if Lillie and Tristan were really a married couple now, but he already told her to call him Dad. Isabelle elbowed him because of his remarks, as if telling him to slow down and interrogate their son first.

Lucas just chuckled sheepishly, giving his wife an apologetic look while scratching his face. After receiving the apology of her husband, Isabelle turned to Tristan, trying her best to look serious.

"Son… tell us. What is that declaration a while ago all about? What do you mean Lillie is your wife? Are you two married already? Or you were just pretending because the reporters kept pressuring you a while ago?" Isabelle asked him directly, not beating around the bush.

Zhen-Zhen chewed on her lower lip while staring at Tristan worriedly. She was nervous because of Isabelle's serious expression. She thought she made her upset or something. On the other hand, Tristan saw her troubled face, so he immediately wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling Zhen-Zhen closer to him. He whispered something to her.

"Wifey, relax. Don't be nervous. Mom is just asking me about our marriage. She's not mad. Let me handle this. Just trust me." Tristan softly said, comforting Zhen-Zhen to make her calm down.

Zhen-Zhen felt relieved after hearing Tristan's words. She eased up a little bit. She let Tristan do the talking and explain everything to his parents.

Tristan faced his parents and started to speak up. "Mom, Dad, what you heard a while ago is the truth. Lillie and I were already married." 

After saying that, Tristan fished out his phone inside his pocket and showed his parents proof that they got married. Isabelle and Lucas accepted his phone and they were the ones who scanned the pictures.

Isabelle and Lucas saw two pictures. The first picture was the same picture Matthew had shown to the twins. It was the photo of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen, smiling while holding their marriage certificates. The photo was taken inside the Civil Registry Office.

The second photo was the scanned copy of their marriage certificate. The document had the seal of the Civil Registry Office as well as Lillie's and Tristan's signatures. The marriage contract was the most solid proof that they were now husband and wife.

Isabelle's eyes widened in surprise. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. Her son was really a married man now.

"Oh my Gosh, Lucas! Our son is telling the truth! He's already married!" Isabelle couldn't help but exclaimed, catching the attention of the nearby guests and other members of the Davies Family.

Some of them were actually trying to listen to their conversation. They were also curious if Tristan got married to that lovely maiden they just saw tonight.

"Wow, son. You're so fast!" Lucas also mumbled. Tristan didn't know if his father was shocked or he was complimenting him right now.

Tristan just acted nonchalantly. He already expected this kind of reaction from his parents. He planned on introducing Zhen-Zhen to them as his wife after the party but those pesky reporters ruined everything. 

Zhen-Zhen unintentionally revealed their relationship to the reporters when she called him hubby. Then the reporters even started pestering Zhen-Zhen so Tristan had no choice but to announce to everyone that Zhen-Zhen was his wife. 

After Isabelle recovered from that shocking news, she squinted her eyes on Tristan while folding her arms across her chest.

"Why didn't you inform us about your marriage? You didn't even invite us!!! Why did you do that? We even organized a grand banquet for Andrew and Hannah's engagement but to my son's wedding, we were clueless and we were not able to attend nor prepare something." Isabelle said spontaneously, lamenting to them.

Seeing the frustration on Isabelle's face, Zhen-Zhen could no longer stay quiet. She immediately bowed her head, apologizing to Tristan's parents.

"I'm so sorry, Mom! Please don't be mad at Tristan. He did it because of me." Zhen-Zhen softly mumbled to them, they could hear the guilt in her voice.

Isabelle's expression softened upon hearing Zhen-Zhen's genuine apology. 

"Oh dear, I'm sorry about that. I'm not mad. Please don't apologize." Isabelle couldn't help but console her. She couldn't bear to see her sad expression.

"Mom, look at what you've done. You are scaring my wife." Tristan complained to his mother, rubbing Zhen-Zhen's back.

On the other hand, Lucas was having a wild imagination after hearing Zhen-Zhen's apology.

"Wait.. wait.. Son don't tell me the reason you married Lillie right away without even informing us is that… she's already pregnant with our grandchild?!!" Lucas asked him exasperatedly with his eyes wide open.

That was the time Grandpa Lu reacted and made his presence known to them so he cleared his throat.

Cough! Cough!

"What do you mean? I already have a great-grandchild!?"

Tristan: "..."

Zhen-Zhen: "???"
