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

Tristan's hand immediately pressed the end button while eyeing Zhen-Zhen with both astonishment and disbelief.

'Did she hear that? Did she just listen to…. Ah! I'm doomed!'

Tristan didn't know why but he was very restless and anxious as of this moment. He was staring at Zhen-Zhen with complete bewilderment. He somehow felt guilty for committing a crime. But what crime?

Tristan was still in his frozen state when Zhen-Zhen repeated her question with her innocent and curious eyes. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

"Who's Babe, Tristan? She is talking to Babe but I didn't know who's that person she was referring to."

Tristan's lips curled up in a forced smile. His smile appeared to be awkward. He didn't know whether he was saved or not. Fortunately, Vanessa didn't mention his name.

But still, gazing at Zhen-Zhen with her clueless look, Tristan couldn't help but feel like he was guilty of cheating. His body started to produce cold sweats.

'Eh? Why am I thinking like this? Zhen-Zhen and I are not yet official. Besides, I met Vanessa before I even met her. So this is not cheating!' Tristan said, trying to convince himself.

'Eh… but that's not the point! What I am worried about is what Zhen-Zhen had heard from the phone. Why the hell Vanessa is making a sound like that… as if she was-'

Tristan already knew the answer in his mind. And he didn't want to think about it. He turned to Zhen-Zhen while sighing helplessly.

'! Why did she have to answer the phone?' He felt like crying.

Since there were lots of things running on his mind right now, Tristan forgot that he hadn't answered her question yet.

"Tristan?" Zhen-Zhen called him out as she noticed that Tristan was not responding to her.

"Huh?" Tristan's attention was brought back after hearing her voice.

"Who's Babe?" Zhen-Zhen repeated again.

"Sorry… hehe actually... she is referring to…" Tristan was thinking what he should say to her.

'Dang! Lie Tristan! Lie! Or else… Zhen-Zhen will be disappointed in you once she finds out.'

After a moment of thinking, Tristan blurted out, "MATTHEW…. Yeah… it's Matthew." Tristan let out an awkward laugh while scratching the back of his head.

'Sorry, Matt. I have to do this.' Tristan thought to himself.

Zhen-Zhen just nodded with a smile.

"Alright. Tell Matthew that a girl called him but he was not here. Will he come here today?"

"Yes… he will drop by to give me the documents I ask him to process." Tristan simply said to her.

? Zhen-Zhen just nodded and didn't ask him further. Then she averted her gaze back to the television. The Godzilla's Movie really hooked her interest including FaMo.

Tristan heaved a sigh of relief after that. But little did he know, Zhen-Zhen already made a mental note to relay the girl's message to Matthew once she saw him.

Zhen-Zhen had a sharp memory. She remembered everything the woman had said on the other line, including her soft moans. She wondered if she also needed to inform Matthew about that.

On the other hand, Tristan chose not to ask Zhen- Zhen about Vanessa. He was afraid that once he talked about her, Zhen-Zhen would ask him about his relationship with Vanessa.

He knew how persistent she could be once her curiosity was piqued. And Tristan didn't want to answer her with another lie.

The two of them just enjoyed watching the film together with FaMo. Unknown to Tristam, this cute fluffy chubby black cat was the one responsible for his predicament. FaMo was the one to urge Zhen-Zhen to answer the phone.

If Tristan only knew then he might regret allowing FaMo to stay with them.

Will FaMo behave well or he will cause more troubles for Tristan and Zhen-Zhen in the future?

**********

At around 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon, Matthew arrived at Tristan's place, bringing all the documents he processed for today.

As per the instruction of Tristan, he also brought snacks for the three of them. When he proceeded to the living room, he saw Tristan and Zhen-Zhen sitting on the couch.

Tristan was teaching Zhen-Zhen about some traffic rules, like where to go if you want to grab a taxi or ride a bus, the lane for passengers, and how to cross the road while watching the traffic light's signal.

Then Matthew caught a glimpse of a black creature laying beside Zhen-Zhen.

'What... A black cat? Does Tristan allow that furry animal in his Condo Unit? What a miracle?' Matthew was surprised.

He knew how much Tristan didn't like to have furry animals around him because of Hannah's condition. Matthew even thought that he became a pet-hater because of that.

But now, he was seeing a black cat inside Tristan's Condo Unit for the first time. Then he turned to Zhen-Zhen who was happily listening to Tristan. Matthew wondered if Zhen-Zhen had something to do with this.

After a while, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen greeted Matthew as they already noticed his presence. He placed the snack on the small glass table in front of them.

"Lillie, let's stop this tutorial for a while. Grab some snacks first. I'm just gonna talk with Matthew." Tristan said to Zhen-Zhen.

"Ah, okay. Can I also share these snacks with FaMo?"

Tristan nodded with a smile, "Of course you can!"

After saying that, Tristan signaled Matthew to follow him in his study. The two men left Zhen-Zhen in the living room.

"These are the documents you asked me for," Matthew said, handing over the brown envelope to Tristan.

Tristan opened it and scanned the documents inside. Those documents were the birth certificate, baptismal certificate, and family registry of Lillie Meyer.

"It seemed like Lillie didn't attend a formal school. She didn't go to college, middle school, or even pre-school." Matthew said to Tristan. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

'Yeah, I know. Because she died too young.' Tristan thought to himself.

"Are you sure about this? Do you think Grandpa Lu will not go against your marriage with her? Will the Davis Family accept Lillie? I am worried about her, Tristan. And do you think they will not suspect your relationship with her since for them she is just a nobody? She didn't come from a rich family. What if they will insult and look down on her?" Matthew voiced out his concern.

Tristan smiled and tapped Matthew's shoulder.

"I will not let them do that to her. I will protect Lillie no matter what. Besides, Grandpa only said to me that I should bring him a wife. He didn't mention anything about family backgrounds at all. Who cares if Lillie just came from an ordinary and simple family? She is not just a nobody. In fact, Lillie is better than anybody. And she will become my wife." Tristan said with so much conviction in his words.

Matthew heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. At least he was reassured knowing that Tristan was serious about protecting her against the Davis Family just in case they would look down on her.

"Alright. I understand. Let her get the Educational Placement Examination so that she could go to college even if she didn't attend the formal school." Matthew suggested to him.

Tristan smiled meaningfully. "Yeah, I am also planning to do that. I also want her to experience that… studying at a University. I wonder what course she would like to take."
