Chapter 118 Grandpa Lu Ignoring His Calls
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were both in a bright mood when they left Captain Jack's Harbour Restaurant. It was a unique and amazing experience having a lunch date in that famous floating restaurant in the City of Empire.
Tristan was driving the car while Zhen-Zhen was silently sitting on the front passenger seat holding the bouquet of white lilies that Tristan gave her. Her smile never faded since the moment they left the restaurant.
"Tristan… hubby?" Zhen-Zhen called his name out.
Tristan who was focused on his driving took a glance at Zhen-Zhen.
"Yes, wifey?"
"You're so sweet and romantic. You surprised me a lot today. You gave me gifts." Zhen-Zhen blurted out, complimenting Tristan.
Tristan's husky laugh bubbled up in the car because of her remarks.
"Anything for my wife. It's my pleasure to make you happy," Tristan said, caressing her face before he averted his gaze back on the road.
Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip. Her face was suddenly painted with worry.
"But I haven't given you one. I haven't given you a gift. Am I a bad wife?" Zhen-Zhen asked him with her innocent eyes. She looked troubled.
Tristan automatically stopped the car after he heard that. He parked it on the side of the road before focusing his attention on Zhen-Zhen.
"Zhen… of course not! You're not a bad wife. Don't think about that okay? Listen to me. You've already given me a wonderful and amazing gift. Did you forget?" Tristan said, consoling her with his words.
Zhen-Zhen looked at him with confusion. "What gift?"
Tristan chuckled and pinched her lovely cheeks before giving her the answer.
"You passed the Educational Placement Examination with flying colors. You topped it. You made me proud. That's the most amazing gift I received from my wifey." Tristan said with so much enthusiasm.
"Is it enough?" Zhen-Zhen asked him again, the uncertainties could be seen in her blue orbs.
Tristan looked at her helplessly. 'Why are you still pretty though you are giving me such a kind of troubled face?'
"Hmm, you are right. I think it is not enough. You should give me something." Tristan said cheekily while staring at her soft delicate kissable lips.
"Hmm, okay. Tell me what you want. I'll try to give you that." Zhen-Zhen said, turning to him with anticipation.
Tristan moved closer to her. He raised his hand to touch her lips, his thumb gently tracing her lower lip. After doing that he caught her chin, tilting it upward as he slowly lowered his head.
In just a brief moment, his lips touched hers. They were warm against hers in response to her query. Tristan had never realized it yet but Zhen-Zhen already became his addiction.
He couldn't help himself from kissing her over and over again whenever he would look at her. It seemed like he was already spell-bound by her ethereal beauty.
When he was satisfied, Tristan drew back, breaking the kiss. Zhen-Zhen was still in a trance, just blinking her eyes in confusion while licking her lower lips.
Tristan found her gesture very cute and adorable.
"Stop doing that or else, I can't control myself from kissing you here non-stop, Mrs. Davies. We still have to buy gifts for your parents. We need to drop by their house and tell them about this good news."
Zhen-Zhen just smiled at him sweetly before nodding her head. She understood his action a while ago. A kiss from her… that's what he wanted. Her heart was filled with joy because of that.
**********
After a few minutes, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen arrived at the Mall. They went shopping only to find out that Tristan's credit card had been deactivated.
They had to return some items because Tristan only brought a limited amount of cash. He was always using credit cards.
Tristan didn't expect that Grandpa Lu would do that to him. He didn't know what he had done wrong.
'Eh! Grandpa is too much. Did he freeze my credit cards just because I didn't see him today?' Tristan lamented in his mind.
A long sigh escaped his mouth. 'I wanted to buy more clothes for Zhen-Zhen but Grandpa Lu ruined my plan. Argh… I have to call him.'
Tristan tried calling Grandpa Lu several times but he was not answering Tristan's call. Grandpa Lu was still upset with him. And his grandpa knew the reason why he was calling him. So Grandpa Lu was intentionally ignoring his calls.
"Aargh, this stubborn old man is definitely ignoring my call!" Tristan mumbled, getting annoyed.
This time Tristan decided to call Assistant Twig. It rang for five seconds before the call got connected.
Assistant Twig: "Hello, Young Master Tristan. Why did you call?"
Mr. Twig asked Tristan although he already knew the reason why he called him. It was because of his credit card. He already guessed that Tristan had tried to call Chairman Lu but the old man refused to answer his call.
Tristan: "Mr. Twig, where's Grandpa? I wanna talk to him. Why did he suddenly freeze my credit cards?"
Assistant Twig could hear the irritation in Tristan's voice. He was glad that Chairman Lu decided to ignore his calls or else, the grandfather and grandson duo would just end up having an argument over the phone.
Assistant Twig lied so that Tristan would not get mad at Grandpa Lu for intentionally ignoring his calls. Then he heard Tristan sigh deeply on the other line.
Tristan: "Mr. Twig… do you know the reason why he did this to me?"
Assistant Twig had no choice but to tell him the reason.
Assistant Twig: "Because your grandpa thought you were playing and messing around with women again. He got mad when he received the bank notification today. Matthew even lied to him, telling him that you were out because you were doing some important things."
"But it turned out you were just having a date with your woman in Captain Jack's Harbour Restaurant, spending so much money just for a date. Chairman Lu said he wouldn't activate your card if you couldn't give him a proper explanation."
