BXBX NOVEL Chapter 441 What Is Tristan's Announcement?
~ At the Davis Family Mansion ~
Grandpa Lu made sure that everything was prepared for tonight\'s family dinner and welcome home party for Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
The long table containing bountiful and assorted food was not all set in the hall. The delicious aroma of different delicacies spread in the entire place.
The invited family members also arrived except for Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. Alice and Thomas, Zhen-Zhen\'s foster parents were now being entertained by Isabelle and Lucas, making them feel at home.
Grandpa Lu, on the other hand, kept pacing back and forth as he checked the time on his wristwatch. He couldn\'t wait for his grandson and granddaughter to arrive.
"What took them so long? They should be here by now." Grandpa Lu mumbled with a deep frown on his face.
"Matthew, did Tristan contact you? He\'s not answering my call?" Grandpa Lu approached Matthew who was talking to Blake and Jake.
"Chairman Lu, Tristan said they were on the way."
Grandpa Lu sighed deeply after hearing that. "Alright, then we will just have to wait for them before we start."
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen got late because Tristan didn\'t want to disturb the sleep of his wife. Zhen-Zhen got tired and she slept for several hours. He just let her rest, not caring about the time.
He knew that his family would understand them even if they got late. Besides, a pregnant woman should get a good rest.
While waiting for the stars of the night, the other family members tried to guess what important announcement Tristan was going to make.
"Hey, Older brother, are we expecting a great-grandchild from Lillie and Tristan?" Grandpa Alejandro asked Grandpa Lu excitedly.
Grandma Clara\'s face brightened up at the mention of a great-grandchild. "Really? Is this Tristan\'s announcement all about?"
But Grandpa Lu disregarded their assumption right away. Feeling dejected, Grandpa Lu said to them, "No. I\'m in doubt about that. Tristan said we have to wait since Lillie is still attending school. It seems that my grandson has no plan of impregnating his wife yet."
"Sigh! I\'m also hoping for that. But I guess that dumb foolish grandson of mine is very far from fulfilling my request yet!" Grandpa Lu lamented to his siblings.
Grandpa Alejandro and Grandma Clara burst out laughing after seeing the gloomy expression of their elder brother. It seemed that they ruined his mood because of the topic.
"Too bad your grandson is well-disciplined about that. See, he slept with many women in the past but no one among them got pregnant. So it\'s not impossible if Tristan would try to avoid his wife from getting pregnant," Grandma Clara shared her opinion with them.
Her remarks gained another deep long sigh from Grandpa Lu.
"Just be patient, brother. Tristan and Lillie are still young. They just got married so maybe they wanted to spend more time with each other. If they will have a baby early then their bonding moments will change." Grandpa Alejandro tried to console Grandpa Lu.
"Yeah, I know that. That\'s why I stopped pestering and bugging Tristan. I just decided to focus on pampering my granddaughter-in-law." Grandpa Lu sighed in defeat.
But his mood changed 180 degrees when he brought up another topic about Zhen-Zhen.
"Did you know that my granddaughter-in-law became the Campus Belle of Imperial Knight just recently? Hmm, if you just saw how she defeated those other women on the campus, hmm, it was amazing and wonderful!" Grandpa Lu started bragging and boasting, feeling proud of Zhen-Zhen.
"Really? Tell us!" Grandpa Alejandro urged Grandpa Lu to speak more. He just found a way to divert his attention. At least, Grandpa Lu would not feel depressed talking about their great-grandchild.
Grandma Clara also played along with Grandpa Alejandro as they listened and entertained Grandpa Lu.
Meanwhile, the elders were not the only ones who were curious about Tristan\'s announcement. Blake, Jake, and Matthew were also having a discussion about it.
"Matt, we heard that Tristan has an announcement to make. Do you have any idea about it?" Blake asked him, putting his arm around Matthew\'s shoulder.
Matthew shook his head right away. Tristan didn\'t inform him either. Aside from Hannah\'s attempt to seduce Tristan, Matthew knew nothing.
Tristan didn\'t even mention the fire incident that happened. Maybe, Tristan had no time to tell Matthew because he was busy sticking around his wife. His all attention was only focused on his wife.
Then Jake made a side comment. "I think Tristan will announce that he will now step down as the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise."
That statement just came out of nowhere so Matthew and Blake immediately averted their gazes at Jake.
"Eh, why would Tristan do that?" Blake asked his twin brother exasperatedly.
"Where did you get that ridiculous idea?" Matthew also said in disbelief.
Jake let out a loud chuckle before answering the two men.
"We never know. He decided to just stay at home with his wife. Hahaha. See, he couldn\'t even stand to be away from his wife for too long. He even asked someone to bring Lillie abroad because he was missing her so badly! Everyone here thought Lillie went missing and someone kidnapped her. It turned out that Tristan was the main culprit!"
Blake facepalmed after hearing his brother\'s last statement while Matthew clicked his tongue while shaking his head helplessly.
They thought Jake had a serious valid reason for saying his assumption. It turned out he was just making fun of Tristan\'s action towards his wife. As expected of Jake\'s blabbering mouth.
"Brother, can you just shut your mouth? You are making me more confused!" Blake said, rolling his eyes at his brother.
Then he turned to Matthew again, "How about you, Matt? Any guess, Bro?"
Matt paused for a moment, rubbing his chin as he thought about something.
"Hmm, maybe Tristan will announce that he will officially introduce his wife, Lillie to the public or maybe his plan of holding a wedding ceremony."
Jake and Blake nodded their heads. It was quite possible for Tristan to do that.
"Then, whose wedding is gonna take place first, Andrew or Tristan?" Jake asked them out of the blue.
Matthew fell silent as he recalled what Tristan had told him. Hannah tried to seduce him but he said he had no plan of telling this to the family.
Matthew wondered what would happen to Andrew. He felt sorry for him. Though he didn\'t want to ruin Hannah\'s and Andrew\'s relationship, Matthew was thinking that Andrew deserved to know what happened.
"Hey, Matt? What\'s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why are you giving us such a face?" Jake asked him when he noticed Matthew\'s troubled expression.
"Oh, it\'s nothing!" Matthew promptly responded. He promised Tristan that he wouldn\'t tell anyone.
But Jake and Blake were not convinced. They stared at him intently.
"Hmm, I don\'t think it\'s nothing! Come on, spill it out, bro!" Blake said, raising an eyebrow.
Then Jake suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Ahuh! I think I know the reason!" Jake declared while grinning widely. "Are you jealous of Tristan? Why don\'t you find a girlfriend now and get married as well?!"
Matthew: "..."
"Here we go again, brother! You are really weird when thinking sometimes." Blake mumbled helplessly.
