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

It was already 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon when Isabelle returned to the Hospital. She saw Tristan and Andrew laughing together while talking about something.

Isabelle was so happy to see them like that as if there's no conflict that happened between them.

"Mom, you're back! What took you so long?" Tristan asked her right away the moment he noticed her presence.

Isabelle was just standing by the door, smiling tenderly while watching her two sons.

"Oh, sorry about that son. It's just that something came up with your father so I dropped by the office to visit him. I also brought him snacks." Isabelle said as an alibi.

Both Tristan and Andrew just nodded at her.

"Mom, Brother, I should go now. I have to fetch Lillie in her school as well." Tristan glanced at his wristwatch.

"Her class might be done by now," Tristan added.

He patted Andrew's shoulder then turned to his mother, giving Isabelle a kiss on her cheek. He was about to leave to pick up his wife.

Isabelle: "Take care, son. Tell Lillie to visit me on weekends." 

Andrew: "Send my regards to Lillie, brother."

Tristan just smiled at them, waving his hand. He was in a hurry. He missed his wife already. He wanted to see her soon.

~ At University of Imperial Knights ~

During the remaining class of the day, Alicia and Betsy couldn't help but talk about Lillie secretly. They still couldn't believe that their gorgeous professor, Liam, gave Lillie his energy drink.

"Hey, do you think, Sir Liam is interested in Lillie?" Betsy asked Alicia's thoughts.

Alicia frowned after hearing that question. She also had no idea.

Alicia heaved a deep sigh. "I wonder why Lillie is surrounded by gorgeous men. Remember my crush who came here just to find her? Now, our professor is also being generous to her."

Alicia shook her head in disbelief. "I couldn't believe this. Lillie's look is just ordinary. Plain and simple but not charming."

"Yeah, I think so too." Betsy agreed with Alicia's statement.

They were now waiting for Alicia's chauffeur. Betsy would hitch a ride with her. Alicia would drop her in their house.

"Hmm, don't think about it too much, sis. I think sir Liam is just being generous to her. Nothing more nothing less. He's just kind to everyone," Betsy said, consoling Alicia.

The two of them had really thought that Liam had set his eyes on Alicia that's why she was feeling down after witnessing Liam giving Lillie a drink.

He didn't even offer Betsy and Alicia. Well, it was understandable because Liam only brought one energy drink with him. Then among the three ladies, it was Zhen-Zhen who was looking very tired that morning.

Just like Betsy and Alicia, Zhen-Zhen was also waiting for Tristan to pick her up. Tristan just informed her that he would be there in ten to fifteen minutes. 

He bought her a new phone after knowing that Zhen-Zhen's phone got destroyed. Tristan had turned on the GPS of Zhen-Zhen's phone so that he would know her current location any time.

Tristan had already developed a phobia when Zhen-Zhen would just go missing suddenly. From time to time, he would check his tracking device installed on his phone to know Zhen-Zhen's location.

Tristan wouldn't feel at ease once he didn't know where she was. He didn't want those past incidents to happen again, searching for her desperately as if he was like a madman.

Zhen-Zhen decided to wait for Tristan on one of the benches near the entrance gate of the university. She was sitting leisurely while reading a book.

Her friend Sophia lent her a love storybook. It's entitled The Devilish Assassin meets the Angelic Detective. 

It was an interesting and complicated love story between an assassin named Elle and a gentle detective, Erick. The story was action-packed and filled with fluffy moments, written by Author Ellezar G.

Zhen-Zhen was enjoying it. She was engrossed with her reading that she failed to notice that someone had already sat down at the opposite side of her bench.

Liam couldn't help but observe her silently. Zhen-Zhen looked cute as her attention was focused on the book, not minding the people around her.

Liam stared at her intently, absorbing all her facial expressions as she continued reading the book. He could see her pouting, frowning, and sometimes smiling.

The story she was reading gave him different emotions in every chapter. When Liam could no longer stay quiet, he cleared his throat to catch Zhen-Zhen's attention.

*Cough* *Cough*

"Ahem, do you mind sharing that story with me? It looks like you are having fun reading it. It makes me curious about what that story is all about." Liam's deep husky voice was heard.

Zhen-Zhen gazed up only to see Liam's smiling face looking at her intently. She was taken aback for a moment. She didn't notice his presence.

"Sir Liam…" Zhen-Zhen called him out with a surprised expression on her face.

Liam pouted after hearing that. "Liam," he muttered to her.

"Huh?" Zhen-Zhen was confused.

Liam let out a soft chuckle. 

"It's Liam. Please just call me Liam if we are not inside the classroom, especially if there are only two of us here," Liam corrected her and at the same time, made his request from her.

Zhen-Zhen smiled at him and said, "Okay, Liam."

"See, that's better."

"Sorry, I didn't notice you. How long have you been there?" Zhen-Zhen asked Liam after apologizing.

"No, don't say sorry. It's alright. I was the one who invaded your personal space. I should be the one apologizing to you."

Zhen-Zhen shook her head. "Oh, I don't mind. I'm just reading the book while waiting for Tristan."

"Oh right. Mr. Davis. Your husband." Liam said, smiling sheepishly at her. Liam remembered his first encounter with Tristan.

"By the way, Lillie, I would like to congratulate you for passing the exam and topping it. I knew you could do it." 

Liam extended his right hand in front of Zhen-Zhen to congratulate her.

"Thank you, Liam," Zhen-Zhen smiled at him brightly while accepting his hand.

That was the scene Tristan had witnessed upon arriving at the University.
