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

Chapter 385: Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Meanwhile, Tristan also arrived home with a gloomy aura surrounding him. He saw Zhen-Zhen sitting on the couch in the living room, watching TV together with Pam-Pam including FaMo who was in his human form.

FaMo was alternately using his disguise when Tristan was around. Sometimes, the black fluffy cat FaMo would just go missing while his so-called Father-in-law was around.

However, Tristan didn't pay much attention to it. All his attention was focused on Zhen-Zhen whenever he was at home.

Zhen-Zhen's side was like his safe haven, his home sweet home. He didn't mind anything else as long as he was with his wife. That's why he was feeling down right now, thinking he was about to get separated from his wife in the coming days.

When Zhen-Zhen noticed Tristan's presence, she got up immediately to welcome him with a warm hug.

"Welcome home, hubby!" Zhen-Zhen mumbled before giving him a peck on his right cheek.

Tristan's mood improved a little bit after getting a warm hug and a sweet kiss from his wife. He pulled Zhen-Zhen's body closer and embraced her tightly.

Just thinking about leaving her was making his heart ache in pain and longing. He was still here but he was already missing his wife.

'Argh! This is so frustrating! I can't bring her because she's still attending school. I don't know how long before I can fix the problem in our branch.' Tristan's grip on her body tightened at that thought.

For some reason, he felt like he didn't want to let go of her. He remained still, just hugging Zhen-Zhen.

FaMo just watched Tristan in puzzlement. 'What's wrong with this man tonight? It looks like he just lost something valuable. Hmm. He is squeezing my Zhen-Zhen too much.'

"Tristan…" Zhen-Zhen could also feel that something was off with Tristan tonight.

"Wifey… stay still. Just let me hug you for a while. I missed you." Tristan mumbled in her ear.

Zhen-Zhen nodded her head and just let Tristan do what he wanted. They hugged each other for several minutes.

When Tristan got satisfied, he finally released Zhen-Zhen from his tight grasp. He went to their room to change while FaMo and Zhen-Zhen prepared their food for tonight's dinner.

Tristan hid his troubles during dinner, pretending to be cheerful. When they were done, Tristan grabbed the chance to be alone with his wife.

He would inform her about his departure the day after tomorrow. He also wanted to spend more time with his wife so they just stayed in their room while FaMo enjoyed his time watching TV in the living room, together with Pam-Pam.

"Tristan… Why are you sad? What happened?" Zhen-Zhen asked him. Though Tristan tried his best to hide his emotions a while ago, she was still able to notice it.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were already lying on the bed. He was cuddling her in his arms. His mind was occupied by his business trip abroad when he heard her voice.

Tristan was pulled out of his deep thoughts. His attention was now back to his wife.

"Wifey, what will you feel if I will not be with you for several days or weeks?" Tristan asked her instead of answering her query.

"Of course, I will be sad and I'm gonna miss you a lot!" Zhen-Zhen promptly responded as she gazed up to see Tristan's face.

"Why did you ask, hubby? Are you going somewhere?" She asked him anxiously.

Seeing her expression like this made it more difficult for Tristan to bring up the topic of leaving her for a few days.

He felt like crying. Yes, he was a man. He shouldn't feel like this but he couldn't help it.

He was already used to being with her every day. Seeing her every day: every night before he closed his eyes and every morning after he opened his eyes… she's the one he could see.

He couldn't imagine the moment he would not see his wife before closing his eyes at night and upon waking up in the morning.

Then Tristan remembered Grandpa Lu's statement. Grandpa Lu talked to him after the meeting.

He could understand his grandson's reluctance to leave but he admired him for taking the responsibility as the CEO of the Company.

He knew that Tristan often messed up with his personal life before because of his scandals with women, but when it came to work and company matters, he was always responsible and dependable.

"Grandson, absence makes the heart grow fonder. So it's okay to be apart from your wife sometimes. This is just a trial for both of you." Grandpa Lu was consoling Tristan.

"So don't hesitate to leave her for a while. You don't have to worry about her. We will take care of her while you are not around. She can live with us in the Davis Mansion or with her parents," Grandpa Lu added, reassuring Tristan.

"I know grandpa… it's just that. This is the first time we are going to separate from each other for a long time. It's so hard for me. Just thinking about it, I am already missing her a lot," Tristan shared his feelings with Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu didn't know whether to cry or laugh for his grandson. He could see that Tristan had already fallen deep for his wife.

"You can do it. Once you experience being away from her, you will appreciate more every moment with her. Just be strong." Grandpa Lu patted Tristan's shoulder.

"She's not going anywhere. She will wait for you. Use this as your motivation. So, fix the problem as soon as possible so that you can be with your wife soon."

Tristan could only sigh deeply. "Alright, grandpa. I will do my best."

After recalling his conversation with Grandpa Lu, Tristan decided to tell Zhen-Zhen about his departure.

"Wifey, I will be away for a few days. I'm going to a faraway place. As much as I want to, I can't bring you with me because you have classes. I don't know how long I will be staying abroad."

"Something happened to our branch. As the CEO of the Company, I have the responsibility to fix the issue or else, the impact will greatly affect Heavenly Star."

Zhen-Zhen fell silent after hearing that. She felt the same way as Tristan. She was saddened by this news.

"I will not see you for several days?" Zhen-Zhen asked him with her sad expression.

Tristan felt like his heart was being squeezed right now after seeing the sadness in Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes. He could only bob his head while caressing her face.

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip, her eyes suddenly became misty. Her tears were about to fall.

Tristan cursed inwardly when he saw her eyes burned with tears. He wanted to beat those people who caused this trouble to their company.

Now he had no choice but to be separated from his wife until he resolved the company's problems.

"Don't cry, wifey. I can call you every day. We can still see each other by video call," Tristan tried to comfort his wife, though deep inside he was also having a hard time.
