Chapter 442 - Little Davis?

After the long wait, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen finally arrived at Davis Family Mansion.

Grandpa Lu was the first person to approach and welcome the husband and wife.

"You are finally here!" Grandpa Lu greeted them right away.

Just like what she would always do, Zhen-Zhen gave Grandpa Lu a warm hug.

"Grandpa, sorry for being late. It's my fault," Zhen-Zhen apologized right away.

Grandpa Lu patted Zhen-Zhen's back. "It's alright, Lillie. You don't have to apologize. I know you got tired because of the long travel hours."

Grandpa Lu was being so kind and considerate of Zhen-Zhen. Tristan could only smile as he watched his wife and grandfather.

Their parents also walked over to welcome them including Grandma Clara and Grandpa Alejandro.

"Welcome back, son!" Lucas patted Tristan's shoulder.

"Thanks, Dad. It's so good to be back. Indeed, there's no place like home!"

Isabelle hugged her son right away. Tristan really changed a lot. She could see that.

"We are all waiting for you. Come, let's have dinner now!" Isabelle said, guiding Tristan in the dining hall.

Alice and Thomas also pulled Zhen-Zhen. The family soon gathered around the long table in the dining hall.

Zhen-Zhen and Tristan were surprised to see the food, table arrangements as well as decorations. There was also a tarpaulin with Zhen-Zhen's and Tristan's pictures with the caption "Welcome Home!".

Isabelle held Zhen-Zhen's and Tristan's hands while saying, "Do you like it? Your Grandpa especially prepared this himself for both of you. He put so much effort to welcome you."

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen glanced at Grandpa Lu who was clearing his throat. Grandpa Lu looked away, pretending he didn't hear Isabelle's words. He was a little bit embarrassed.

'Eh? Is my Ironman grandpa blushing right now? This is the first time I saw him like this,' Tristan thought to himself as he watched his grandfather with fascination in his eyes.

Both Zhen-Zhen and Tristan felt touched after hearing that. They didn't expect that Grandpa Lu would be so sweet and caring like this. They were very grateful. They could feel Grandpa Lu's love for them.

"Grandpa, thank you so much! I really really like it! I love it!" Zhen-Zhen pounced on Grandpa Lu once more.

Tristan also joined them, hugging Grandpa Lu and Zhen-Zhen. Tristan seldom hugged his grandfather, but this time he did it in front of everyone. He wanted to express his heartfelt gratitude to his grandpa.

Everyone in the dining hall just watched the three of them with a gentle smile on their faces. They didn't know why but the hall was suddenly filled with warmth. This was a very touching scene. They could feel the love of the family.

"Why am I being emotional right now?" Isabelle mumbled with her teary eye. Lucas just smiled at his wife before pulling her into a warm hug.

When Zhen-Zhen and Tristan broke the hug, Grandpa Lu announced the start of their family dinner. Everyone went to their respective seats. The family members exchanged a cheerful conversation while eating. No one talked about work. 

"My dear cousin! I heard you will announce something tonight? Can you tell us now? I am really eager to know what you are about to say!" Jake could no longer wait further.

Grandpa Lu and the other elders gave Jake an approving smile. They were glad that Jake finally mentioned it. They were also curious and couldn't wait to hear it.

"Yes, son! Why don't you tell us now!" Isabelle also urged Tristan.

Everyone was anticipating his announcement. All eyes and all ears on Tristan now. He turned to his wife, staring at her eyes intently while giving her a loving smile. Zhen-Zhen returned his smile and nodded at Tristan.

Tristan wrapped his arm around Zhen-Zhen's waist. The two of them moved in front of everyone, facing them with a wide smile. Their eyes were glowing with joy and happiness.

"First of all, I would like to thank Grandpa for organizing this family dinner on my behalf. I requested this to grandpa because I want to share a piece of good news with everyone here. I really appreciate that you all came tonight despite your busy schedules."

Tristan thanked everyone first before dropping the bomb. Well, he decided to give them some suspense.

"Argh! Enough for formalities! PLEASE SPILL THE BEANS Already!" Jake complained to Tristan.

Everyone laughed because of Jake's last remarks. They couldn't blame him. They also felt the same way. It seemed that Tristan was intentionally delaying his announcement.

Tristan just let out a soft chuckle as he could see their excitement and impatience.

"Alright! Alright! I have two announcements to make." Tristan swept his gaze across the hall before continuing.

"First, I would like you to know that I decided to introduce Lillie as my wife during the celebration of the City of Empire's Centennial Year. I will make a public announcement on that day during the event!"

"I like that, Grandson! I support your idea! It's now time to make everyone know who is your wife, the one and only Mrs. Lillie Davis!" Grandpa Lu said, showing his full support to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.

Jake raised his hand again to get Tristan's attention. "Ahem, Cousin! I think I know your second announcement!"

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen exchanged meaningful glances before asking Jake.

"Really? Hmm, okay. So tell us… what is it, my dear cousin?" Tristan said, giving Jake a challenging look. His eyes sparkled with humor.

Blake just massaged his temples because of his twin brother's interruption. 'Is he trying to steal the spotlight tonight?'

Matthew could only shake his head.

Tristan just let out a soft chuckle before nodding his head. "Deal!"

"Hmm, I think you are planning to hold a wedding ceremony! Are you announcing the date of your wedding?!" Jake said with certainty in his voice!

Everyone nodded in agreement. They were also thinking about that.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen smiled at them.

"Ahem, cousin! Thank you for reminding me. That will be my next plan. However, that is not my second announcement tonight."

"Oh, come on, cousin?! Are you just saying this because you don't want to treat me?" Jake said exasperatedly.

"Of course not!" Tristan promptly denied it.

Grandpa Lu felt disappointed when he heard that. He was really expecting Tristan to tell them about his wedding.

"Tristan, I think you just made your grandpa sad after saying that!" Grandpa Alejandro said, teasing Tristan.

Grandpa Lu just cleared his throat, signaling his siblings to stop talking further.

"Alright. Let's just hear him out first. So grandson, if it's not about your wedding then what is the good news you are talking about?" 

Zhen-Zhen held Grandpa Lu's hand and said, "Don't be sad, Grandpa."

Tristan had decided to tell the good news.

"Everyone, listen carefully. I would like you to know that we have another family member here who wants to greet everyone." Tristan said to them, smiling broadly.

Everyone looked at Tristan in confusion. They were puzzled about his last statement.

Tristan lowered his gaze and pressed his hand on Zhen-Zhen's flat stomach.

"Everyone, please meet our Little Davis. Little Davis, please greet your grandparents, uncles, and great-grandparents."

Everyone: "..."

Grandpa Lu: "..."

'Little Davis? Did he just say 'Little Davis'? My great-grandchild?'
