BXBX NOVEL Chapter 393 Million Miles Away
When Zhen-Zhen got home, her conversation with Clifford still lingered on her mind. She could somehow sympathize with him.
No wonder she could feel his loneliness the first time she met him. Her mind was still occupied when FaMo and Pam-Pam ran to welcome her.
Zhen-Zhen smiled as she felt their furs brushing her legs. She immediately bent down to pet the two cats. She gave them a warm hug, squeezing them both in her arms.
Meow! Meow! Meow!
"Welcome back, Zhen-Zhen! How\'s your day?" FaMo was in a good mood.
Now FaMo was having fun staying at home because of Pam-Pam. He was no longer alone whenever he would be left in the house.
Zhen-Zhen sighed deeply as she felt something missing. There\'s no Tristan in the house right now.
"FaMo, I am missing him so much. He is not around," Zhen-Zhen said with a sad look in her blue eyes.
"Don\'t worry, Zhen-Zhen. He will come back soon. He made a promise to you. Besides, I and Pam-Pam are here for you. So cheer up," FaMo raised his paw to touch Zhen-Zhen\'s face.
Zhen-Zhen\'s lips curled up into a faint smile. She stroked FaMo\'s head and said, "Thank you, FaMo. Tomorrow we will go to the Davis Mansion. Grandpa and Tristan\'s parents want us to sleepover tomorrow night."
"Then the day after tomorrow, we will stay at my foster parents\' house," Zhen-Zhen informed FaMo.
"Got it. Let\'s visit them tomorrow. Is it okay to bring two cats with you?" FaMo asked her just to make sure.
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head frantically. "Of course. I bet they would love to see you both."
"Alright, then. I will use my cat form. Just tell me if you need me to fuse with you."
"FaMo... Just stay here. I want to see you and touch you so don\'t disappear. Don\'t fuse with me for a while, okay?"
"Hmm okay, if that\'s what you want, your wish is my command, Zhen-Zhen."
Zhen-Zhen giggled when she heard FaMo\'s last remarks.
"Because of that, I brought you lots of delicious food tonight."
Zhen-Zhen didn\'t forget to buy food for FaMo and Pam-Pam. She was about to pay for it but Clifford insisted that he would be the one to pay. Clifford just reminded her to treat him next time.
When FaMo and Pam-Pam started eating, Zhen-Zhen received a video call from Tristan. She immediately went to their bedroom and answered his call.
She could see that Tristan seemed like he had just woken up. He was still on the bed. His face was worn out. He looked exhausted and stressed.
They had different time zones. If it was already nighttime in the City of Empire, then the current time in Tristan\'s place right now was dawn: 8:00 pm to Zhen-Zhen while 6:00 am to Tristan.
"Wifey… good morning! I mean… good evening there. I missed you so much," Tristan mumbled in his sleepy state. He was rubbing his eyes and still yawning.
"Good morning, hubby. I missed you too. You are not looking good. How are you? How\'s the situation there?" Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan worriedly.
"I\'m so tired. We had an emergency meeting as soon as we arrived here. But don\'t worry, I can manage, wifey, especially now that I can see your face. I wish you were here with me," Tristan touched his phone screen as if he was caressing Zhen-Zhen\'s face.
"I wanna hug you right now. I feel cold here. I want to feel your warmth, wifey. Sad to say, we are million miles away from each other," Tristan put on a pitiful face while saying those words.
The longing and yearning flashed through her eyes. She also felt the same way as Tristan.
"Come back soon, hubby. I will be waiting for you," Zhen-Zhen requested.
Tristan bobbed his head vigorously. "Yes, I will finish everything I have to do here as soon as possible so that we can reunite with each other again. Don\'t replace me with someone else, okay?"
"Of course, I won\'t. You are the only one, hubby. No one could replace you in my heart," Zhen-Zhen reassured him.
Tristan\'s lips curled up into a satisfied smile. He felt better now after seeing her. A while ago, he was very tired and stressed but because of his happy pill, Zhen-Zhen, he regained his energy once more.
"Wifey, how\'s school? Did your admirers bug you today? Tell me… should I send bodyguards to your school?"
Zhen-Zhen let out a soft giggle when Tristan mentioned bodyguards.
"Hubby, seriously? You don\'t have to do that. I\'m fine. No one is bugging me that much."
Tristan was just joking. Zhen-Zhen knew it. They already talked about the possible changes in her student\'s life after getting the title: Campus Belle.
Tristan pouted his lips. "Don\'t laugh at me, wifey. We never know, someone might be plotting already to steal you from me."
[ Author: "You have a great hunch, my dearest Tristan. Lol. Someone is indeed plotting to steal her from you. Clifford is on the move! ]
"They can try… but they will just fail in the end!" Zhen-Zhen said confidently. Her words and tone somehow comforted and gave Tristan a sense of security and assurance.
The husband and wife continued talking until Zhen-Zhen became sleepy. During their conversation, Zhen-Zhen forgot to mention Clifford to Tristan. She listened to Tristan more, instead of speaking.
Eventually, Zhen-Zhen closed her eyes while listening to him. She was still holding the phone when she drifted off to sleep. Tristan watched her fall asleep.
Tristan missed her more after seeing her sleeping figure. He had the urge to hug her and engulf her in his arms. Too bad he was far away from her.
"Wait for me, wifey… I will return home soon. Sigh… for now I have to endure this," Tristan thought to himself.
It did not take long when Tristan got off the bed to take a shower. He was now getting ready to go to the branch.
After an hour, Tristan left his hotel room together with Matthew. They were walking in the lobby when he bumped into someone.
"Tristan?" A familiar voice was heard.
Tristan turned around only to see Hannah, standing just a few steps away from him.
