BXBX NOVEL Chapter 562 Find Another Girl!
Tristan watched the package carefully. It was a square box.
"Is this a bomb?" He tried to joke, making the butler laugh.
"I don\'t think so, young master. It is very light as if there is nothing inside the box," the butler said, smiling at him.
Tristan nodded his head. The box was indeed very light.
"Alright. Have you signed it already?" Tristan asked the butler.
"Not yet, young master. The delivery man is still waiting outside."
"Okay, sign it. And put this package in my study. I will check this out later. I have to continue our very important meeting," Tristan said, winking at the butler.
The butler took the package from Tristan before going out to sign the papers, indicating that they already received the package.
Tristan went back into the living room, joining Matthew and his cousins.
"What is it?" Mark asked him curiously.
"Oh, it\'s nothing. Someone sent me a package. Let\'s continue talking about our plan."

Tristan was already excited about this surprise. He hoped that nothing would go wrong again, just like what happened before when he tried to surprise his wife.
After a while, the five men left the mansion to do their respective tasks. They only have three days left for the preparation.
After a while, Grandpa Lu entered the house together with Assistant Twig.
He was bored staying at the office. Andrew and Tristan were not there to join him for lunch so Grandpa Lu decided to go home.
"Grandpa, how\'s your day?" Tristan approached him right away, pulling him towards the sofa.
He let him sit before moving to his back. Tristan started massaging Grandpa Lu\'s shoulders.
"Is everything alright, Grandpa? Are you tired? Sorry for giving you all the work because of my absence. Don\'t worry. I will make it up to you," Tristan softly mumbled to him.
He felt sorry. He was also worried about him.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Lu smiled inwardly. He felt touched by Tristan\'s action. It seemed that his grandson had become sweet and kind towards him.
In the past, they argued often, fighting like cats and dogs. But now, they have become closer to each other.
Assistant Twig just watched the grandfather and grandson duo. He was glad that they were getting along well now, compared to before.
"Hmm, yeah. The work is very stressful lately so make sure to compensate me!" Grandpa Lu demanded.
Tristan let out a soft chuckle. "Don\'t worry, Grandpa. How many great-grandchildren do you want? I will do my best to fulfill that."
"Naughty!!! You just want to score with your wife!" Grandpa Lu said but his eyes gleamed with humor. He also liked Tristan\'s compensation for giving him lots of great-grandchildren.
Tristan burst out laughing again. "Grandpa, kidding aside, I am planning to surprise my wife. I will propose to her properly this time."
Grandpa Lu\'s eyes lit up upon hearing that. "Really? Come here. Tell me about your plan!"
Tristan sat down next to Grandpa Lu. He told him his plan and Grandpa Lu liked it. He didn\'t expect that his grandson could be so romantic.
After hearing his plan, Grandpa Lu asked Tristan to follow him in his study.
Upon reaching his study, Grandpa Lu took something inside his mini-vault under his table. Tristan just watched him in confusion.
Soon, Grandpa Lu placed a rectangular box on top of his table.
"Tristan, give this to your wife during your proposal. This is your grandmother\'s favorite necklace. I gave this to her during our wedding night."
Grandpa Lu\'s face glowed with so much happiness as he recalled the past. The love and affection for his late wife could be seen in his eyes.
Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. Grandpa Lu wanted him to give this precious necklace to his wife.
"Grandpa, are you sure about this? This necklace is so important to you."
"Of course. I\'m more than okay about this. I would be happy to see your wife wearing this necklace. I know Cassandra will also be happy about this."
The necklace was beautiful. It has a diamond heart-shaped pendant. It looks simple yet elegant.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I will make sure to give this to my wife."
Grandpa Lu smiled faintly. "Since you already have a ring for Lillie, I am planning to give Andrew your grandma\'s ring. I hope he will give this to his future wife."
Tristan chuckled and decided to tease his grandpa. "Grandpa, how sure are you that grandma\'s ring will fit Hannah\'s finger?"
Grandpa Lu squinted his eyes at Tristan. He didn\'t expect that Tristan would tease him. But he had to admit that Tristan had a point.
"Well, if this ring will not fit Hannah\'s finger then I will ask Andrew to find another girl whose finger can fit this ring! Hmmph!" Grandpa Lu said jokingly.
Tristan: "..."
Tristan could only shake his head helplessly. "Grandpa, do you know that you have corny jokes? It\'s not funny at all. Do you think Andrew will agree with you if you tell him to find another girl?"
"Hmmph. Why not? You never know. He is more obedient than you! Hmmph."
Tristan and Grandpa Lu burst into a peal of laughter because of Grandpa Lu\'s remarks.

~ University of Imperial Knight ~
The handing over of Title to the new Campus Belle was done. Everyone congratulated Sophia.
Mary, Bianca, and Zhen-Zhen just watched Sophia on the sideline. Sophia was on the stage right now, being greeted by the other members of the Student Council.
"Lillie, actually I was not surprised when you announced Sophia\'s name. I also think that she is suited to become the Campus Belle," Mary voiced her opinion.
"Haha, She tricked us big time. Sophia and I didn\'t expect this. Imagine… she even consulted us whom she would choose," Bianca joined the conversation.
Mary giggled upon hearing that.
"I\'m sorry. I know Sophia might refuse if I told her that she was the one I wanted to become the next Campus Belle."
Bianca and Mary nodded their heads. They understood Sophia. She just wanted to stay low profile, away from the limelight.
"But I guess, I want Sophia to step up and gain more self-confidence. I don\'t want her to feel insecure." Zhen-Zhen shared her thoughts with them.
"Am I that bad for forcing her to do this?" Zhen-Zhen asked Mary and Bianca.
Both ladies shook their heads.
"I know Sophia will understand your decision," Bianca said, consoling Zhen-Zhen.
"Yeah. I agree. Besides, it is better this way. She is not like those women who only care about popularity and fame. Instead of organizing parties and programs, I know Sophia will focus more on her advocacy."
Zhen-Zhen smiled at that thought. "That\'s true. She\'s the one who suggested some programs and activities to me like feeding programs for the malnourished children, community works, and tutorials."
"Now, she can influence other students to do good deeds. She will become a good role model aside from being a Campus Belle," Zhen-Zhen added.
"Hmm, but it looks like Sophia gained more enemies as she became the target of those jealous women who were eyeing that position," Mary said, glancing at Athena\'s and Jade\'s group.
