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

Chapter 54 - The Source Of His Unhappiness



"Tristan, that's your brother Andrew and your best friend Hannah, right?"

Tristan didn't pay attention to Zhen-Zhen's words since he already saw them. The smile on his face immediately disappeared upon seeing Andrew and Hannah together.

Reflexively, he clenched his fists while watching the couple. He didn't expect Andrew to bring Hannah with him.

'Is he trying to show off? Does he still need to do that? Why bring her here? I already conceded defeat a long time ago. He already knew how I felt towards Hannah. Is he intentionally doing this to hurt my feelings? F*ck! Andrew, you succeeded!'

Tristan's face darkened, seething with rage and bitterness. Zhen-Zhen had sensed it. Tristan was furious but why? She just watched him in puzzlement.

"Tristan…" She called him out worriedly.

Zhen-Zhen's voice snapped Tristan out of his negative thoughts. When he gazed at her, he saw the genuine concern in her eyes.

Tristan's lips turned into a faint smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. It was just a forced smile, trying to ease Zhen-Zhen's worry.

"Let's go to our room now. I want to rest." He mumbled, sadness flared in his eyes.

Zhen-Zhen wanted to ask him if he would like to greet his brother and his best friend first before going to their room. However, upon noticing the gloomy expression of Tristan, she decided not to ask him.

She just nodded and followed Tristan behind. Zhen-Zhen had already familiarized herself with the people related to Tristan. Matthew introduced them to her using Tristan's photo album. That's the reason why she recognized Andrew and Hannah immediately.

She never imagined that she would bump into Andrew and Hannah in this City during this trip. At first, she was excited to see and greet them. But Tristan's ugly expression upon seeing the two of them had changed her mind.

She wondered why Tristan suddenly became sad and feeling down. Matthew didn't inform Zhen-Zhen about Tristan's true feelings towards Hannah.

While walking slowly towards their room, Zhen-Zhen remembered Tristan's first wish when he got drunk.

{ "Seduce my brother… make him fall for you… so that I can have Hannah." }

Zhen-Zhen couldn't fully understand his words nor grasp the situation yet. But somehow, she could sense that Tristan's unhappiness that night was caused by Andrew and Hannah.

And now she confirmed it. Andrew and Hannah had something to do with Tristan's pain and sadness.

Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment. She bent down to scoop up FaMo. Then she cuddled him in her arms, before she continued walking.

'I want to make Tristan happy. I will fulfill his wish.' She had sworn to herself while glancing at Tristan's lonely figure.

FaMo had read what's on her mind. He could sense Zhen-Zhen's determination. All he could do was sighed deeply. 

He didn't know if that was a good idea. But he was aware that Zhen-Zhen was already resolute with her decision. No one could stop her, except Tristan.

'How I wish this plan will not go wrong. I don't want Zhen-Zhen to be hurt. I still have the obligation to protect her, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally.' FaMo thought to himself.

'Aah! It's so hard to be a guardian!' FaMo added.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Hannah were now being entertained by the hotel receptionist in the lobby. They checked in and got their room key.

"Is my brother already here? Tristan Davis?" Andrew asked the front desk.

"Wait a minute, sir, I will check." The receptionist said, checking the list of guests in their records.

Hannah's eyes widened after hearing that. Andrew didn't mention anything about Tristan being there also.

"Is Tristan also coming here?" Hannah asked Andrew curiously, her eyes looking at him with anticipation.

Andrew simply nodded and said, "Yes. Grandpa personally assigned this field research to the both of us."

Hannah's expression brightened up when Andrew confirmed it. She was glad that the three of them would be together again. She missed old times. Those moments wherein the three of them would spend time together, bonding and having fun.

"That's great! I hope we can enjoy our stay here." Hannah blurted out excitedly.

Andrew chuckled seeing her reaction. He couldn't help but pinch her cheeks.

"We are not here to enjoy. We've come here to work. Don't be a bad influence, sweety, or else, Tristan and I will get scolding from Grandpa."

Hannah let out a soft giggle. 

"I know. But one week is a lot of time. I believe both of you could spare some time for me and have fun together just like old times." She said with her hopeful look.

Andrew's expression changed a little but he was able to conceal his emotions right away.  He was in doubt. What Hannah wanted to happen might not be possible. Tristan had already changed and he knew the reason why.

Andrew didn't speak anymore. He just nodded at her with a smile.

After a while, the receptionist confirmed that Tristan already arrived in the hotel. Andrew thanked her. Then Hannah turned to the receptionist once again.

"What is his room number?" Hannah asked her expectantly.

The receptionist smiled at her apologetically before saying, "Sorry Ma'am. I can't disclose our guest's room number without their permission. If you want, just contact Mr. Davis and ask him personally."

Hannah pouted, feeling disappointed. She wanted to surprise him by knocking directly to his room.

"It's okay. I understand. It's a universal policy at every hotel." Hannah said with a faint smile.

Andrew just looked at her helplessly. He was aware of Hannah's intention.

"Don't worry, I will call him over for lunch. He doesn't know that you tag along with me. I know he will be surprised to see you here." Andrew reassured her while stroking her hair.

"Okay. Let's do that. Don't tell him that I am here. I want to surprise him."

Andrew just nodded at her.

"Come, let's go and check our room first." Andrew said, grabbing her hand.

"This way, Ma'am and Sir," one hotel staff gave them direction to their room.
