The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 160: Zhen-Zhen's Internal Struggle

"If ever I will try to seduce your husband, Tristan, then I apologize to you, saying it's just a mistake and I will ask you to be my friend. Will you still want me to be your friend? Will you agree?

Hannah's hypothetical question caught Zhen-Zhen off guard. Suddenly, she felt something deep inside her heart.

Just thinking about Hannah and Tristan together in one room as Hannah was doing the same thing she did to Andrew, Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but feel hurt… and mad? Yeah, she would also be mad. Zhen-Zhen had confirmed it to herself.

However, she knew that Hannah didn't need to seduce Tristan because he was already in love with her. That was the sad truth and she was reminded now of that fact.

Zhen-Zhen lowered her gaze, trying to gather her emotions. She couldn't look straight into Hannah's eyes.

Hannah laughed again coldly when Zhen-Zhen just remained silent. She had no words to refute that.

"Answer me, Lillie," Hannah urged her to speak up.

Zhen-Zhen clenched her fists, gripping the flowers in her hand too tightly. She was in emotional pain right now and she was trying her best to calm herself down.

After a few seconds, she slammed her eyes shut before answering Hannah.

"N-No. I can't…" Zhen-Zhen mumbled.

Hannah smiled at her with a grimace.

"See… I'm glad you understood what I am feeling right now. Admitting your mistake and apologizing for it, that's a good initiative. But after what you've done to me and my fiancee, asking me to be your friend is too much."

"Do you know the word shame? I wonder how you can still smile at me, acting so friendly as if nothing happened. Sometimes, saying sorry is not enough to fix everything, Lillie."

"I'm sorry to say but I can't accept you to be my friend. You already ruined the chance of us being friends. So don't act like an innocent and sweet person in front of me. I won't buy it." There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Hannah couldn't help herself from venting out her frustration towards Zhen-Zhen. She's not like this but she was triggered by her. This was the first time she confronted someone like this.

Zhen-Zhen could feel Hannah's hatred towards her. She couldn't blame her. She was thinking that Hannah had every right to be mad at her since it was her fault.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I regretted it. I understand how you feel. I'm sorry if I offended you again when I asked you to be my friend. I'm being insensitive to your feelings. I'm sorry, Hannah. I truly am."

Zhen-Zhen could only apologize to her over and over again. She didn't know what to do for Hannah to forgive her.

Hannah heaved a deep sigh as she looked away. Seeing the pitiful face of Zhen-Zhen, she felt like she went overboard this time for saying those harsh words to her. But she couldn't help it.

"I will accept your apology. But it doesn't mean I've already forgiven you. Give me time." Hannah plainly said.

"We can't be friends but we can still act civil towards each other," she added.

"I understand," Zhen-Zhen promptly responded.

After that, there was a moment of silence between the two ladies. They just stood there, Zhen-Zhen was looking down while Hannah was observing the flower garden.

Hannah's eyes found the bench in the center of the garden Then Hannah smiled bitterly as she recalled the past.

That was the spot where Tristan was supposed to confess to her. They were sitting there facing each other. But everything went wrong when she made that mistake. She lied to him.

Hannah became sentimental. She just started speaking to Zhen-Zhen, telling her about her moments with Tristan in that garden.

"Tristan and I used to hang out a lot in this garden. He was taking pictures of the flowers while I was painting."

Zhen-Zhen looked up when she heard her. She started to pay attention to Hannah's words, trying to picture it out in her mind... the young versions of Hannah and Tristan, spending time together in this beautiful garden.

Suddenly, Zhen-Zhen felt like a sharp object just pierced her heart.

"Those flowers in your hand… he was also fond of giving me that. Tulips became my favorite flower because of Tristan. He also liked Tulips, his favorite flower." Hannah informed her.

Complicated emotions flashed through Zhen-Zhen's eyes after hearing that.

'Tristan said he liked Lily. Did he just lie to me a while ago? Did Tristan like tulip because of Hannah? Was that the reason he gave me tulip flowers? Was he thinking of Hannah whenever he would see tulip flowers?'

Just thinking about that, Zhen-Zhen felt like something was crushing her heart right now. Zhen-Zhen's eyes suddenly became misty but she was trying her best to hold her tears.

This was not good for Zhen-Zhen. If she would continue to listen to Hannah and her emotions would be affected then it was just a matter of time before her blue eyes would turn red.

Zhen-Zhen closed her eyes, trying her best to think of happy moments with her Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo. She needed to divert her attention or else she wouldn't be able to stop herself from changing her eye color.

Meanwhile, FaMo who was inside the living room had sensed Zhen-Zhen's internal struggle. He knew that something was wrong with Zhen-Zhen. He needed to go to her now.

That was the moment Tristan arrived in the living room. He had just finished talking with Grandpa Lu. They were also interrupted when Andrew came to greet their grandfather.

When FaMo saw Tristan, he immediately walked towards him.
