In the City of Empire…
It was quite busy today in the Davis Family Mansion. Everyone was occupied with something as if a big occasion was about to happen.
After receiving the call from his grandson, Grandpa Lu immediately asked every helper: the family chief, the maids, the butlers, and others, to clean, arrange and decorate the house.
He wanted to give his grandson and his favorite daughter-in-law a welcome party. Besides, this was the first time Tristan had asked his grandfather personally to organize a family gathering in the Davis Mansion.
But this time, it's quite different from the monthly family gathering they were holding before.
Tristan only asked his grandpa to invite the Meyer Family, his closest cousins, Jake and Blake, and Grandpa Lu's siblings, Grandpa Alejandro and Grandma Clara.
He didn't want the family dinner to be ruined because of his other two evil cousins, Mark and Daniel. So as much as possible, Tristan requested grandpa to limit the family members who could join them that night.
Besides, they would still hold another family gathering wherein everyone could attend.
For Tristan, the people whom he invited during this family dinner were the people closest to his heart and he would be glad to celebrate with them this joyous occasion, telling them the good news about his wife's pregnancy.
Grandpa Lu didn't think that his wish of having little Davis would be fulfilled soon. He remembered how his grandson scolded them when they tried to trick him, drugging him in order for him to sleep with his wife.
He had no idea about this good news. He just thought that Tristan would announce to the family that he already decided to introduce Zhen-Zhen aka Lillie as his wife officially to the public.
He wondered if his grandson would finally hold a wedding ceremony for Zhen-Zhen and him. Just thinking about that, Grandpa Lu was very excited and looking forward to that day to come.
But the wedding ceremony for both brothers was not allowed to happen in the same year because of some superstitious belief.
Hannah and Andrew were supposed to marry this year. So if Tristan was planning to hold a wedding ceremony this year then someone between Andrew and Tristan should give way.
Either Tristan would do it this year and push Hannah and Andrew's wedding next year or the other way around.
But if Grandpa Lu would have to speak about this, he would rather push Zhen-Zhen's and Tristan's wedding ceremony first since they were already married.
He would suggest Hannah and Andrew move their wedding next year. That's what Grandpa Lu was thinking as of now.
However, Grandpa Lu was in doubt if the Miller Family would agree to his suggestion. Honestly, Grandpa Lu's impressions towards the Miller Family already changed the moment Hannah's mother hurt Zhen-Zhen and she still denied it.
He understood if Hannah's mother got mad at Zhen-Zhen because of the incident that happened in Oceaniz City. But, Grandpa Lu believed that she should have let the young couples fix the problem instead of adding fuel to the fire.
Tristan already explained that everything was a misunderstanding. Hannah and Andrew also tried to talk to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. So Grandpa Lu felt disappointed with Mrs. Miller's harsh action towards Zhen-Zhen.
Grandpa Lu was in deep thought when Lucas approached his father. He could see that his father was in a great mood lately. He also had a vibrant aura today.
Cough! Cough!
Lucas cleared his throat to get Grandpa Lu's attention.
"Dad, are you that excited to see Tristan and Lillie? Lillie was with us just a few days ago, don't tell me you missed her already?" Lucas said, starting a conversation with his father. There was a gleam of humor in his eyes as he watched Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu glanced at his son, lifting an eyebrow. "So what? There's nothing wrong with me missing my sweet and lovely granddaughter-in-law."
Lucas: "..."
'Dang! My father is really straightforward. He didn't even try to deny it. Tsk tsk tsk.. why do I feel like my father loves his granddaughter-in-law more than his real grandsons.' Lucas thought to himself while watching Grandpa Lu in amusement.
Lucas was amazed to see his father very enthusiastic about organizing this family dinner. It would also serve as a Welcome Home Party for Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
Nevertheless, Lucas was so happy to see that Tristan and Grandpa Lu were getting better lately. That grandfather and grandson duo were like cat and dog when fighting and arguing.
But, nowadays, the two were on good terms. Lucas knew that Tristan's wife had a great influence on these changes in the family.
Even he, himself, was very fond of his daughter-in-law. He was admiring her more as he could see the positive improvements and changes in Tristan's attitude and behavior.
"By the way, Dad… Tristan informed me that they already arrived here at the City of Empire. They headed home first to take a rest after that long journey."
Grandpa Lu's face brightened up after hearing that. "Really? Then we should get moving fast! There are only 10 hours left before the Family Dinner."
Lucas scratched his head. He didn't know why his father was rushing everyone. Ten hours of preparation was still a lot of time.
"Dad, can you relax a little bit and calm down? How can they work well if you are pressuring our helpers like this?" Lucas suggested. He noticed that Grandpa Lu was personally overseeing the preparation.
Because of that, the workers and helpers were very nervous and tensed with their every move, afraid that they might commit a mistake.
"Take a rest first. Let me and my wife take over this, Dad." Lucas tried to convince his father. But Grandpa Lu blatantly refused him.
"No! I want to arrange this myself. You go with your wife. Don't disturb me here," Grandpa Lu said, squinting his eyes at his son, Lucas.
Lucas could only sigh helplessly. He just wanted to help but Grandpa Lu scolded him for disturbing him.
If Grandpa Lu doted so much on his granddaughter-in-law like this, how much more if he would learn that Zhen-Zhen was already carrying his grandchild, Little Davis?
