745: Liam Knowing the Truth

Liam Knowing the Truth

Zhen-Zhen, Tristan, and Zu Wan continued their cheerful conversation wherein the husband and wife tried to explain some things that were still new to Zu Wan.2

With their help, Zu Wan got the big picture of how things worked in this world and in this modern time. 

Tristan also explained some important rules to remember when it came to following the law. Zu Wan crumpled his face as he already felt bored just listening to those laws made and implemented by humans.

"Can we stop talking about this thing? I want to hear more about Zhen-Zhen. How did you meet each other?"

Tristan's face suddenly became pale when he heard that question. As much as he remembered, he did something he was not supposed to do during their first meeting.

Zu Wan would kill him once he found out that he took advantage of Zhen-Zhen's innocence. He kissed her and groped her naked body during their first meeting.

A father who would hear that story would probably become furious to the extent he would want to beat Tristan to death.

Tristan just smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck. He was anxious and feeling guilty.

Tristan didn't know what to say. So his body stayed rigid, facing Zu Wan while having a cold sweat. Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen could feel his uneasiness so she didn't say a word. She was just observing Tristan, wondering what was bothering him right now.

"Father-in-law… Zhen-Zhen and I met on Mt. Calypso when I went hiking. Actually, it's a waterfall."

Zu Wan was taken aback when he heard that. He remembered Eva. The two of them also met in the waterfall. 

Who would have thought that Zhen-Zhen would also meet her husband in that waterfall? 

'Is this what Eva called Destiny?' Zu Wan rubbed his chin.

"I met Zhen-Zhen's mother in the waterfall," Zu Wan muttered, the longing for Eva reflected in his eyes.

Zhen-Zhen smiled faintly. FaMo told her the story about her parents' first meeting.

Zu Wan was about to ask them another question when they heard the ringing of the doorbell. 

"Maybe that's Liam," Zhen-Zhen mumbled, moving her gaze at the front door.

Tristan nodded his head and he stood up to open the door. They were right. The person standing outside was Liam but he was not alone. A small cute little girl was standing beside him.

"Hi, Tristan!" Liam raised his hand while greeting Tristan casually. He decided not to call him Mr. Davis.

On the other hand, Tristan was not looking at Liam but the little girl next to him. He was a little bit confused.

"Did you bring a child? But why?" Tristan asked him exasperatedly.

"Hello, Mr. Davis! I'm Ella. I'm here to see your wife. Is she here?" Ella mumbled without missing a beat. She was so eager to know and meet the girl whom Liam wanted to see.

Tristan was speechless.  Ella was talking to him, direct to the point. She sounded polite but there was eagerness in her voice.

'Why does she want to see my wife?' Tristan scratched his face as it didn't make any sense to him. 

He arched his eyebrow and drew his gaze to Liam. 'Don't tell me he is just using this little kid as an excuse to see my wife.'

"My wife is inside. Come in," Tristan said, opening the door wide and stepping to the side. He waited for the two people to enter the house before closing the door.

Ella saw Zu Wan right away after entering the room. She called his name and ran in his direction.

"Father! You are also here?! But why?" Ella's small voice echoed in the entire living room.

Zhen-Zhen and Tristan were surprised when they heard the young girl calling Zu Wan father.

'Eh, what's going on here? Did he adopt this kid? Oh, I remember….father-in-law was with her the last time I saw him in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen smiled at Ella. She felt like she just gained an instant younger sister when Ella called Zu Wan father.

On the other hand, among the three, it was Liam who was more shocked the moment he saw Zu Wan inside the house.

'Is he FaMo or Ella's father, Zu Wan?' Liam's gaze was focused on Zu Wan, waiting to see his reaction.

"I came here to see my real daughter. How about you, Ella, why are you here?" 

Then Zu Wan moved his gaze to Liam as if asking him why he brought Ella with him. 

'So the Liam that I knew and the Liam who is Zhen-Zhen's friend are the same person?'

Liam stayed rooted in his spot with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect any of this. He heard it clearly. Zu Wan said that he was there to meet his real daughter.

'What is the meaning of this? Is he referring to Lillie?' Liam suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

He needed to confirm it so he asked Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan.

"Are you FaMo?" 

He hoped that Zu Wan and Zhen-Zhen would say yes. But it was weird since he already met FaMo before. Was he pretending not to know Liam? He didn't remember him.

Zhen-Zhen was the one who answered Liam's question.

"He is not FaMo. He is my real father, Liam." Zhen-Zhen sounded enthusiastic telling everyone that her father was back. The joy could be seen in her sparkling blue eyes.

But opposite to the joy Zhen-Zhen was feeling right now, Liam felt like a huge bomb just blew up in front of him. He even failed to hide his troubled expression.

'There's no way… the demon god is here. He is alive. Mheera and I even met him personally. What should I do now? Why is he here? I thought he was gone, killed by our ancestors...'

Zu Wan noticed the change in Liam's expression. He couldn't understand why he was looking like that. But before Zu Wan could see further through him, Liam was able to gather himself, trying to regain his composure.

'This Liam, he is acting very strange today. I can't help but suspect him more.' Zu Wan mumbled to himself.

'What is he hiding?'
