Chapter 727: Cassandra

Tristan searched for Zhen-Zhen when he didn't see her in the living room. After greeting Mr. and Mrs. Sy, Tristan excused himself and went upstairs to check on his wife.

Upon entering the room, Tristan saw Zhen-Zhen wiping her tears. He hurriedly approached her and sat down beside her.

"Zhen-Zhen... what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Tristan asked her, caressing her cheeks.

Zhen-Zhen smiled at him faintly before answering him. "I missed my family, Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo… as well as FaMo."

Tristan sighed helplessly when he heard that. He didn't want Zhen-Zhen to be sad so he comforted her.

"Zhen… don't be sad. Even if they are not here, I know they are watching over you. Furthermore, I'm your family now. We will have our own family now." Tristan wrapped her in his arms, kissing her on her forehead.

Zhen-Zhen's eyes sparkled in delight at the mention of their own family. She reflexively looked down, rubbing her stomach. Tristan also pressed his hand on her baby bump.

"The Millers… they will no longer hurt nor harm you. Grandpa already fixed everything." Tristan informed her.

Zhen-Zhen raised her head to meet Tristan's eyes. "Tristan… How do you feel about Hannah? Are you really okay about this? We broke and ruined her family…"

"I am saddened because everything came into this. But they had wronged us, especially you and our babies. They deserved to be punished. Yes, I pity her but I think this is the right thing to do." Tristan shared his honest thoughts with her.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen had no idea but Grandpa Lu mobilized the Eagles to gather evidence of Hannah's crime. 

Fortunately, Tres was able to restore the CCTV recordings of the burnt restaurant from abroad. Hannah was caught in the camera when she locked the comfort room outside thus trapping Zhen-Zhen inside.

Grandpa Lu also made sure that Hannah would never disclose any information regarding Zhen-Zhen's power and ability. Hannah was no longer a threat to Zhen-Zhen.

"I feel better now. At least, she can no longer plot a scheme against me. But I still hate her," Zhen-Zhen said truthfully.

Deep inside, she hated Hannah and loathed her actions. Because of her, something bad happened to FaMo. He was turned into a crystal and until now, they couldn't find him.

"I understand, wifey," Tristan mumbled, pulling her body closer to him.

He only seldom sees Zhen-Zhen getting mad or hating someone. It often happened if their lives were in danger. That was Zhen-Zhen's bottom line.

Tristan looked at her intently. Zhen-Zhen was still looking sad. He wanted to erase the hint of sadness on her face.

Without saying anything, Tristan lifted her chin as he leaned down to claim her lips. He kissed her passionately, trying to wash away her sadness and fill her heart with so much love.

He was brushing her lips tenderly, nibbling on her upper and lower lip. Zhen-Zhen liked the feeling of being kissed by him. Tristan was kissing her sensually as he sucked on her lower lip and tracing her lips using his tongue.

She anchored her arms around his neck when Tristan deepened the kiss. His tongue was seeking an entrance, prying her mouth open.

Zhen-Zhen parted her lips to accept his tongue. He plunged his tongue inside her, licking and sucking her tongue.

Zhen-Zhen just found herself being pushed down on the bed as Tristan continued kissing her hungrily. They were still kissing each other when they heard a knock.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen broke apart and got up from the bed. Tristan was the one who opened the door.

Grandpa Lu was standing outside the moment he opened the door.

"Is my granddaughter there? May I enter?" Grandpa Lu asked Tristan.

"Yes, Grandpa. Please come in," Tristan said, stepping to the side as he invited him in.

Grandpa Lu entered the room. His serious expression a while ago was replaced by gentleness when his eyes met Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes. Grandpa Lu smiled at her faintly as he slowly approached her.

Grandpa Lu asked Zhen-Zhen if she was just fine. She could feel the unconditional love of a grandfather from him. He doted on her so much.

"Grandpa, did you get tired? Don't stress yourself too much, okay? Thank you for everything, for taking care of me and protecting me."

Zhen-Zhen felt touched because of Grandpa Lu. She knew the effort he put on just to punish the Millers and Hannah. He did it for her sake.

Grandpa Lu sat down beside Zhen-Zhen. He reached out, holding her hands.

"I am your grandpa. It's my responsibility to protect you so don't thank me, Lillie. No one is allowed to mess with my family. I promise my late wife, Cassandra that I will protect everyone in the family using my power and influence."

Tristan felt glad to hear this from Grandpa Lu. He was a little bit sentimental right now. He never broke his promise to Grandma Cassandra. He was always true to his words that's why Tristan admired his grandpa a lot even though they were fighting and arguing very often.

"Grandma Cassandra was so lucky to be loved by you, grandpa," Zhen-Zhen said.

Grandpa Lu chuckled when he heard that. Then he shook his head.

"It's the other way around, Lillie. I am the lucky one for having her as my wife. Cassandra brought color to my boring life. She gave meaning to my life."

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen just listened to Grandpa Lu as he talked more about Grandma Cassandra. He told them how she changed his life for the better.

After telling his love story to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen, Grandpa Lu realized that he was getting so old now. He gazed down, looking at Zhen-Zhen's belly.

"I don't know how much time is left for me to stay alive in this world. I am already old. I doubt if I could still watch my great-grandchildren as they grow up."

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were taken aback when they heard Grandpa Lu's words. Zhen-Zhen got affected too much since she hated goodbye. It seemed that Grandpa Lu was telling them he might die soon.

"Tristan, Lillie, can I request you something?"

"What is it, Grandpa?"

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were all ears on him.

"Have you already thought about the name of your twins?"

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen met each other's gaze before shaking their heads as a response to Grandpa Lu's query.

"Can I name one of the twins?" he asked them expectantly.

"Sure grandpa…" Zhen-Zhen promptly responded with a smile.

Tristan also agreed with them. "We know how much you love them, Grandpa. They are yet born but they could already feel your love for them. What name are you going to give our twins?"

There was a spark in his eyes as he thought about the name he wanted to give to one of the twins. Grandpa Lu could not contain his happiness, knowing that Tristan and Zhen-Zhen allowed him to name one of their babies.

"Thank you, Tristan… thank you, Lillie. If you like it, can you please name my great-granddaughter as Cassandra? You can also call her by her nickname Cassie." Grandpa Lu sounded cheerful and enthusiastic after saying those words.

Tristan: "Cassandra."

Zhen-Zhen: "Cassie…"

Both Tristan and Zhen-Zhen nodded with a smile. They loved the name. It only showed how much Grandpa Lu loved his late wife, Grandma Cassandra.
