Chapter 189 Meyer Family Attending The Gathering
[ One Week Later… ]
Today was the day of the Davis Family Gathering. Unlike before, the gathering would last for one day and one night.
This was not a typical gathering wherein every family member would wear fancy clothes, have a feast and luxurious dinner inside the Davis Family Mansion then after that they would go home.
This time they had to wear simple and comfy clothes, and they would act like a girl scout and boy scout. Everyone had to stay overnight in a camping site using their respective tents.
Various fun games were also prepared for everyone to enjoy during day time. At nighttime, there would be a bonfire and star gazing activity.
Grandpa Alejandro allowed them to use the private training camp he owned. It was a vast area like a large green land. The view was spectacular. It was a combination of a military camp, ranch, and mountain resort.
This time Zhen-Zhen\'s foster parents joined them. They arrived at the venue together with Zhen-Zhen and Tristan. Matthew was also with them who was carrying FaMo in his hands.
"Wow, this place is so nice. Lots of trees and green grasses. Now I am missing Mt. Calypso." Alice blurted out, admiring her surroundings.
"Hmm… love the air, so fresh," Thomas also commented after taking a deep breath.
Zhen-Zhen was glad that Alice and Thomas liked the place. This was the first time they would meet the Davis Family and Zhen-Zhen was excited for Grandpa Lu and Tristan\'s parents to meet her foster parents.
Though her parents didn\'t come from a wealthy and rich family, Zhen-Zhen was very proud of them. They managed to live in Mt. Calypso for so long. They lived simply and happily. They were the loving parents of Lillie. They kept the memories of their daughter in their hearts and minds.
She knew that Alice and Thomas were good people. They didn\'t take advantage of Tristan. They didn\'t ask for money nor gifts. They were just happy and content being Zhen-Zhen\'s parents.
Zhen-Zhen remembered when Tristan planned to give her parents cars and jobs but Thomas and Alice refused to accept those things. Thomas told Tristan that he would find a different job. He didn\'t want to depend on Tristan. Alice also told Tristan that they did not want to be a burden to him so they would work independently.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen appreciated their genuine and good intent. They were not greedy in-laws, unlike others who would try to ride on the fame, power, and wealth of their son-in-law.
Tristan, who was holding Zhen-Zhen\'s waist, leaned on her, whispering something. "Are you excited for today?"
Zhen-Zhen turned to face him. She was wearing her bright and charming smile. Tristan succeeded in pacifying his wife a few days ago when she became upset with Tristan.
Zhen-Zhen had forgiven him after he apologized for making her upset because of his answers during their Question and Answer game. Tristan felt relieved that Zhen-Zhen\'s punishment didn\'t happen.
He didn\'t know how he would survive a week without touching, hugging, and kissing his lovely wife. Every day would be torture.
He didn\'t know when he became so clingy when it came to his wife, Zhen-Zhen. Even now, he always maintained their closeness, hooking his arm around her waist every time.
"Yes, I\'m so excited, hubby! I know we will have so much fun today!" Zhen-Zhen cheerfully responded to him.
Tristan\'s eyes gleamed with delight upon seeing her cheerful mood. \'Damn! So lovely.\' Tristan thought to himself, his eyes never left her face.
"Thanks to your suggestion, wifey! You\'re the best. Because of that, I will give you a prize."
After saying that, Tristan stole a kiss from her. It was a very quick kiss on the lips. Both Matthew and Famo just shook their head upon seeing the sneaky move of Tristan.
Alice and Thomas could only smile as they watched the sweet interactions of husband and wife.
Then Tristan talked to his in-laws, "Ma, Pa, don\'t hesitate to tell me if you feel uncomfortable here, okay?"
Thomas just smiled shyly at Tristan while nodding his head. He really admired Tristan. Though they were not the true parents of Zhen-Zhen, Tristan was treating them with so much respect.
They knew that Tristan came from a very rich family but he was not arrogant. He was very humble and down to earth. They liked Tristan so much.
"Ahem, Tristan, son… Honestly, I\'m quite nervous right now," Alice told him truthfully.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen looked at each other before Tristan asked Alice, "Why, Ma?"
"Sorry son, but I feel nervous about meeting your family. I heard Davis Family is very powerful and influential in the City of Empire. I am afraid that your family will not like our simple Meyer Family. We don\'t have a great background, unlike other families."
Tristan gave Alice a reassuring smile, "Don\'t worry, Ma. Family status and background are not important to my parents and grandfather. You are not rich but you are good people with a kind heart. My parents and grandpa will surely like you just like how they like my wife, Lillie."
Zhen-Zhen grabbed Alice\'s hands and gently squeezed them. She wanted to comfort her.
"Ma, Tristan\'s parents, and grandpa are very kind and sweet. I know you will all get along really well. Next time, let\'s invite Mom Isabelle for a bonding. Let\'s have a cooking session at home." Zhen-Zhen suggested.
"Hmm, that\'s a good idea. Mom will surely like it," Tristan supported Zhen-Zhen\'s remarks.
Because of Zhen-Zhen and Tristan, Alice became less nervous. After hearing them, she was now looking forward to meeting Tristan\'s family.
Meanwhile, Miller Family also arrived at the venue together with Andrew and Hannah. From a distance, they noticed the presence of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen as well as the new faces.
Mrs. Miller leaned on her husband and said in her low voice, "I think those two people are Lillie\'s parents."
Mr. Miller nodded at her wife. "Yeah, I heard that they would also attend today\'s family gathering. So they must be Lillie\'s parents."
Mrs. Miller sneered after hearing that.
"Then let\'s see how great their family background is. Are they big shots in the City of Empire too? I hope they will not embarrass themselves in front of the Davis Family" Mrs. Miller said to her husband meaningfully.
