Chapter 626 - Meeting the Davis

Andrew was amused seeing how Alveena and Clifford argued in front of him. This was a typical brother's and sister's bickering.

He remembered how Alveena called Clifford as her monster brother whenever she would think of him. But he could feel that Alveena cared so much about her brother.​​

After a while, Andrew let out a soft chuckle, catching the attention of Alveena and Clifford. The siblings glanced at him confusedly, wondering what was funny for him to suddenly laugh.

"Sorry, I just found you both cute while arguing like this. Both of you look like children quarreling because of a toy," Andrew said, teasing Alveena and Clifford.

The two stopped their arguments. Clifford cleared his throat, trying to act normal in front of Andrew.

He didn't know if he liked him or not for Alveena. He wondered if the two developed their feelings when he asked Alveena to spy on the Heavenly Star Enterprise.

Now, it made sense why Andrew announced his breakup with Hannah. It was for Alveena's sake. No wonder Chairman Lu mentioned the Sy Family at the last part of the press conference.

'The Davis family already knew about their relationship,' Clifford thought to himself.

"Brother, just keep this a secret to Mom and Dad in the meantime. Andrew and I will tell them at the right time."

Clifford frowned after hearing. "Whatever. Just do what you want."

Clifford was thinking that maybe this was for the better, becoming closer with the Davis Family. He just hoped Zhen-Zhen would be able to forgive him.

Clifford was about to leave when Alveena had spoken again.

"One more thing brother… Please cover up for me later. I will not join you over dinner. I will be visiting the Davis Family."

Clifford: "..."

"Thank you in advance brother-in-law," Andrew also said, smiling at Clifford.

'Ah! These two…'

And in the end, Clifford just agreed with the couple's request.

"Alright, I will do that!"

Alveena jumped with joy when Clifford said that. She pounced on her brother, thanking him again. They were just arguing a while ago. And now, they were hugging each other.

~ At the Davis Family Mansion ~

In the evening, Andrew and Alveena arrived at the mansion together. It seemed like there was another feast inside the house since Grandpa Lu asked the Chef to cook five main course dishes for tonight's dinner.

Andrew's parents and Grandpa Lu were looking forward to seeing Alveena. They already met her before but they haven't interacted for long. They wanted to know Alveena more.

Andrew was carrying the paper bags containing Alveena's gift for everyone. He guided her to the dining area where everyone was waiting for them.

"Lillie! I missed you!" Alveena said while hugging her. It's been so long that they haven't seen each other.

"Me too. I'm glad to see you here. I'm so happy for you and Andrew!" Zhen-Zhen softly said, returning Alveena's hug.

Grandpa Lu just watched Zhen-Zhen and Alveena with a gentle smile on his face. His two granddaughters-in-law were getting along very well.

'Our family will become more harmonious now!' Grandpa Lu thought to himself.

"Come, let's greet Mom, Dad and Grandpa," Zhen-Zhen said, pulling Alveena's hand. 

Meanwhile, Tristan helped Andrew in carrying the paper bags.

"Did you two go shopping before coming here? You brought lots of stuff! Haha!" Tristan teased his brother.

Andrew nodded his head while smiling sheepishly.

"Alveena wanted to gift everyone. I didn't expect that she would buy almost all the items in the store since she couldn't choose."

Tristan burst out laughing as he could imagine Andrew and Alveena roaming around the mall for several hours.

"Seriously, bro? Alveena didn't have to do this. Her presence should be enough." 

Tristan patted his brother's back as they glanced at Alveena and Zhen-Zhen who were now talking to their parents and Grandpa Lu.

After putting down the paper bags, Andrew and Tristan joined their women.

"Alveena, please feel at home." Isabelle softly said to Alveena, holding her hands.

"Thank you, Mrs. Davis," Alveena responded.

"Call me Mom, not Mrs. Davis," Isabelle corrected her.

"Yes, call me Dad as well!" Lucas also joined their conversation.

Alveena smiled at them shyly. She was overwhelmed by their warm welcome. A while ago, she was so nervous that she even bought lots of items. She couldn't think clearly so she just bought everything.

"Okay… Mom, Dad…" Alveena felt a little bit shy since she was not used to calling them like that.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Isabelle felt happy to meet their future daughter-in-law. She was now calling them Mom and Dad.

Grandpa Lu cleared his throat to catch their attention.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Alvee, meet Grandpa Lu! The most amazing Grandpa that I know!" Zhen-Zhen introduced Alveena to Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu smiled from ear to ear hearing those words from Zhen-Zhen. She was praising him as the most amazing grandfather. He was flattered.

Alveena turned to Grandpa Lu, politely greeting him.

"Hello, grandpa…" Alveena mustered her courage up to call him that.

"Alveena, don't be nervous. We are not eating you here. Do I look frightening to you? Just relax," Grandpa Lu said jokingly, trying to ease Alveena's nervousness.

Alveena felt relieved when Grandpa Lu became approachable. She heard lots of rumors about Grandpa Lu. 

Soon, they settled down and began eating dinner. While having dinner, Isabelle and Grandpa Lu kept on asking Alveena and Andrew about their relationship.

Andrew and Alveena were responding and answering every question from them. In the middle of their conversation, Andrew brought up his plan of taking a one-month leave.

"Grandpa, Can I take a one-month leave?"

Grandpa Lu and Tristan gave Andrew a questioning look.

'Eh, is he really serious about that?' Alveena pondered to herself.

"Why?" Grandpa Lu asked Andrew.

Alveena glanced at Andrew, shaking her head. She was signaling him not to continue his plan. She was afraid that Grandpa Lu would be unhappy.

"Alveena worked for me as my personal assistant for a month. This time I also want to do the same for her," Andrew answered Grandpa Lu truthfully.

Alveena felt anxious as they waited for Grandpa Lu's response. For her, it was a ridiculous idea. But Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were smiling broadly. They could understand Andrew's motive.

Grandpa Lu darted his gaze between Andrew and Alveena.

"Hmm… Sure, I will approve your leave but in one condition."

"One condition? What is it, Grandpa? Just tell me."

Grandpa Lu smiled mischievously and said, "Let's meet Alveena's parents to talk about your marriage!"

Alveena: 0_0

Andrew: 0_0

Lucas: "Hahaha, Dad, you are acting faster than your grandson! I knew it! I inherited this from you!"

Isabelle: "Dad, you gave them a shock. You should have consulted them first."

Tristan: "Hahahaha. Grandpa is always like that. If not for him, I wouldn't get married to my wife so early. Grandpa loves pressuring everyone.

Zhen-Zhen smiled widely thinking about that.

Grandpa Lu just scratched his face. He couldn't refute that. He indeed pressured Tristan before.

"Hmmph! You should thank me for that! Or else, Lillie shouldn't have been your wife today!"

Tristan let out a soft chuckle. "I know that. So, Grandpa, I am very grateful to you. See… we fulfilled your wish! We already have Little Davis here!" Tristan said, rubbing Zhen-Zhen's stomach.

Grandpa Lu nodded in agreement.

"So, are you okay with that? Meeting Alveena's parents together with your parents and me?"

Andrew bobbed his head frantically. He liked that idea. He felt excited at the mention of his marriage with Alveena.

"I'm definitely okay, grandpa. How about you, Love?" 

Alveena blushed because of Andrew's endearment. 'Gosh. I'm blushing. My heart is going wild. He just called me Love in front of everyone.'

Alveena could only bob her head with her reddened cheeks.

Everyone burst out laughing seeing the embarrassed look on Alveena's face.

"Nice. It is now final. Just inform us when we are going to meet Alveena's parents," Grandpa Lu cheerfully said.

The dinner went smoothly. Alveena had so much fun with the Davis Family. They made her feel as already part of their family.

Meanwhile, as everyone was having a happy conversation in the dining hall, something was happening in Tristan's and Zhen-Zhen's room.

The crystal was glowing brightly until it broke into pieces. The black fireball was no longer frozen and it finally got out of the crystal.

It did not take long when the fireball transformed into a human form. It was the demon god's form.

He glanced at his surroundings with a deep frown on his face.

"Where am I? What is this place? This is not the cave."

His eyes widened as he remembered something. "My Eva… my Zhen-Zhen… where are they?"
