Chapter 95 FaMo's Presence
He didn't bother to check the peephole this time so he was utterly shocked to see the two people outside upon opening the door. The two visitors were Andrew and Hannah.
The three of them stood in silence for a moment. Unlike before, facing each other now was too awkward or rather it became more awkward.
They didn't know how they would act in front of each other. Both brothers were in love with the same girl who was also their childhood friend.
Tristan's feelings for Hannah were supposed to remain secret but something went wrong. And now, everyone knew about it. They were aware that their relationships and treatment towards each other would never be the same anymore.
Since the three of them stayed rooted in their respective spots, Lucas walked over to see what took them so long to enter the house.
"Who's your visitor, son?" Lucas asked Tristan from behind.
Lucas's voice seemed to awaken the three of them from that awkward silence. Tristan didn't need to answer Lucas since he already reached his spot and saw the two people outside his door.
"Oh son, you are also here together with Hannah." Lucas greeted Andrew. He was not quite surprised to see Hannah and Andrew. Besides, they already told them yesterday that they would try to talk with Tristan.
"Yes Dad." Andrew simply replied with a timid smile.
"Hello, Uncle. Good evening." Hannah also greeted Lucas politely.
"Come, let's go inside." Lucas was the one who invited them in like it was his own house. Tristan was just quiet the whole time.
Soon, the four of them headed to thw living room where Isabelle was waiting for them while playing with FaMo.
Hannah was quite surprised when she saw the same Black cat who caused her allergy to act up. Tristan's mother was cuddling and petting FaMo in her arms.
Andrew noticed Hannah's reaction so he followed her line of sight only to see Isabelle and a black cat. Andrew immediately frowned the moment he saw FaMo.
'Is that Lillie's cat who triggered Hannah's allergy? Is Lillie also here right now?' Andrew wondered to himself. He simply peered around the house like he was searching for someone.
"Andrew, Hannah… the two of you also came to visit Tristan. Come here and take a seat first." Isabelle said upon seeing them.
"Oh don't worry about this cat. I will not let the cat get near you, Hannah." Isabelle added as she remembered her allergy.
Hannah just gave Isabelle a faint smile while thanking her. She was wondering why Lillie's pet was there in Tristan's Condo.
Fortunately, there were two large sofas in the living room and another two single couches. Everyone found their comfortable seats and settled down.
"I guess Hannah and Andrew came tonight so that they could talk to Tristan. So I guess, Isabelle and I should give the three of you some privacy. My dear wife, I think we should go now and let these young people settle the misunderstanding." Lucas said to them while informing Isabelle that they needed to leave now.
At first, Isabelle was reluctant to leave. She had just started playing with FaMo. In the end, she had no choice but to agree with her husband.
Then Isabelle turned to FaMo. "Bye cutie one, I will see you again next time." After saying that, she gave FaMo one last squeeze before letting him go.
'I should hide once she comes back. I don't want to be a pillow. She didn't stop squeezing me.' FaMo complained in his mind. He felt relieved when finally he was free from Isabelle's grasp.
"Tristan, by the way, what is the name of this cat?" Isabelle asked him for one last time.
"It's FaMo." Tristan simply replied.
"Wow. That's a cute name." Isabelle said cheerfully. Then she finally stood up to give Andrew and Tristan a quick hug before leaving them. She avoided getting in contact with Hannah because she held FaMo. So Isabelle just waved at her to say goodbye.
"We have to go now. The three of you, please listen to each other. Is that okay?" Isabelle told them.meaningfully.
Andrew, Hannah and Tristan just nodded at her. Soon the husband and wife left them as they went home.
Tristan heaved a sigh of relief. Because of Hannah and Andrew's arrival, his parents forgot about Zhen-Zhen. Just a while ago they were asking him if Lillie was there in his place.
He almost told them the truth when the doorbell rang. If he told them that Lillie was there Tristan believed that his parents won't leave just like that. Instead they would stay and entertain Lillie while he was talking to Andrew and Hannah.
Now, he had to face Andrew and Hannah to confront them and clear the misunderstanding. But he didn't want to drag this talk for long. He wanted to finish it once and for all.
He already had received a lot of emotional stress because of this issue. He was really tired about this.
Meanwhile FaMo was contemplating whether to leave and go back to Zhen-Zhen now or stay for a moment and listen to the conversation of the three people in the living room.
Actually, he was quite intrigued and curious too about the misunderstanding Tristan's parents had mentioned a while ago. So in the end FaMo decided to stay and become Zhen-Zhen's spy.
Of course, he already learned his lesson. He would maintain his distance from Hannah. Tristan already explained to Zhen-Zhen the condition of Hannah. She was allergic to fluffy animals with furs.
Zhen-Zhen relayed that information to FaMo so that he would be careful next time when Hannah was around. FaMo moved his gaze from Tristan to Andrew and Hannah.
All of them were wearing different expressions on their faces. 'I wonder who will talk first.'
Andrew and Hannah were sitting together on the long sofa while Tristan was sitting on the single couch beside the long sofa.
Unknowingly, FaMo could feel the tension and heavy air surrounding them. He couldn't wait anymore who would break the silence so he jumped on Tristan's lap to catch his attention.
"Meow! Meow!"
FaMo wanted Tristan to talk first so he urged him to speak. Of course, he knew that Tristan didn't understand him.
But FaMo's action caught the attention of Hannah and Andrew. They were really curious and bothered by FaMo's presence so one of them finally spoke up.
"Is Lillie also here? Why is it… her pet is in your place, Tristan?"
