Chapter 762: [Bonus Chapter] Saying Goodbye to a Friend

Zhen-Zhen had no idea that Tristan was currently conniving with her father, Zu Wan, in the preparation of his upcoming wedding proposal.

Tristan already told Zu Wan the details of his surprise. His cousins had done the early preparations with the help of Sophia and Matthew.

Now, all he needed to do was to implement everything with the help of Zu Wan. He set the date for this proposal. He even marked his own calendar.

Everyone in the family knew his plan except Zhen-Zhen.

While the father-in-law and son-in-law were talking about what they should do, Zhen-Zhen received a surprise visitor in the Davis Mansion.

Liam went to see her today to say a proper goodbye. He didn't know when he would get a chance to talk to her. He was free today so he grabbed the opportunity to visit Zhen-Zhen and see her for one last time.

Liam already conditioned himself that he might not be able to see Zhen-Zhen again once he returned to their previous world.

He also thought of avoiding seeing her after today because he was afraid that he would change his mind if he kept seeing her.

"Liam, I didn't expect you to come today." Zhen-Zhen cheerfully welcomed Liam, inviting him inside the house.

Zhen-Zhen was in the garden when the butler told her that she had a visitor. Since she liked the atmosphere outside, Zhen-Zhen brought Liam to the garden.

Upon arriving, they sat down on the shaded bench.

"Did I disturb you, Lillie?" Liam asked her with his gentle voice.

Zhen-Zhen shook her head as a response. "Of course not. I'm not busy. I have nothing else to do so typically I am free. You didn't disturb me at all."

"I'm so glad to know that," Liam softly said with a smile.

"By the way, why did you suddenly visit me, Liam? Is there something urgent you need from me?" 

Liam just stared at her for a while, observing her face intently as if he was already memorizing her features, engraving them on his mind.

At that certain moment, Liam felt like he was already missing her. There was a hint of yearning in his emerald eyes.

He might be smiling on the outside, but deep inside, Liam felt so sad for saying goodbye to her… for good.

Zhen-Zhen detected the complicated emotions flashing in his eyes right now. She wondered what Liam was thinking at this moment.

He was smiling but he didn't look happy at all. He had not responded to Zhen-Zhen's query.

Instead, Liam asked Zhen-Zhen about something as he reminisced about the past.

"Lillie, do you still remember the day when we first met?"

Zhen-Zhen's face brightened up as she remembered it.

"Yes, that was the time I first took the Education Placement Exam. We bumped into each other in the hallway." 

Liam nodded his head. "Yes. To tell you the truth I was captivated by your blue eyes. They are so beautiful."

Zhen-Zhen let out a soft giggle. "Hmm, Me too. I like your emerald eyes. I felt like I was looking at green fields, very refreshing."

Liam felt warmth when he heard those words from Zhen-Zhen.

"We are destined to meet from the beginning," Liam declared while looking at her meaningfully.

Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head and said, "That might be true. Both of us are the same. We have superpowers. We are not ordinary humans. But aside from that, I am also happy to become your friend."

Friend. Such a wonderful word to hear, but for Liam, this word was signifying that he couldn't be her man since, in her eyes, he was only a friend.

"Me too. I'm really happy to meet you and become part of your life, Lillie…"

Zhen-Zhen noticed that Liam was a little bit strange today. "Liam, are you okay? Is there something wrong? Why do I feel like you are being sentimental today?"

Zhen-Zhen looked at him worriedly. But Liam just chuckled at his own self. He didn't expect that he would be sentimental and emotional like this.

He was trying his best to maintain his smile and conceal his sadness but it was so hard to do it.

In the end, Liam suddenly pulled Zhen-Zhen into a hug. She was caught off guard by his sudden action. She was about to push him since she didn't want Tristan to misunderstand this. She knew that her husband was still a jealous man.

However, before she could push him, Liam had spoken in his pleading tone.

"Lillie, just let me hug you for a while. Can you just stay still? I'm sorry but… I just need your hug right now."

Zhen-Zhen just sighed helplessly before nodding her head. "What's wrong, Liam?"

"Actually, I am here to say goodbye, Lillie. I will go to a faraway place. I don't know when I will be able to come back. We might not see each other again… for a long time…"

Zhen-Zhen was taken aback when she heard that. She hated saying goodbye, especially to the people who were close to her. Liam was already part of her life so she was saddened after hearing this news from Liam.

"Please take good care of yourself always, Lillie… I wish you well. Be happy with your family."

"I'm sad to hear this from you, Liam. But I believe you have a reason for leaving this place. Don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself. Tristan and I will be happy as we raise our twins." Zhen-Zhen reassured Liam. She hugged him back.

"I feel relieved now. At least, you also have your father back."

"Thank you, Liam. I am surely gonna miss you…"

"Me too, Lillie. I will miss you."

After saying that, Liam finally broke the hug. Then he leaned forward to plant a gentle kiss on Zhen-Zhen's forehead.

Zhen-Zhen couldn't hide her sadness as she gazed at Liam. She would surely miss his presence.

Liam didn't stay long as he was afraid that he would not be able to leave Zhen-Zhen. The two said goodbye to each other.

Unknown to them, Mheera had seen everything. She even heard their conversation. She secretly cast a spying spell on Liam. She was surprised and heartbroken upon witnessing them together.

Mheera could now figure out the reason why Liam suddenly changed… the reason why he wanted to stay in this world. It was because of the demon god's daughter. He protected her because… he liked her.

Mheera's heart was filled with hatred and jealousy. She immediately contacted her comrades.

"Shiba, Riyu! Proceed to our plan now!" 

Shiba and Riyu were surprised to hear the angry voice of Mheera. They were now using mobile phones for their communication.

"What do you mean, Mheera?" Shiba asked her again just to make sure.

"Proceed to our plan of eliminating the demon god! Use Titania and her daughter… kidnap them and bring them to the mountain. Lure the demon god there," Mheera gave her command.

"Are you sure about this? What if the child and her mother are innocent? Do we need to involve them?" Riyu asked, hesitating a little bit.

"This is for the greater good! Just do it!"
