Chapter 27: A Talk Between Two Friends

"Matthew… I brought her with me because I am going to make her my wife. She will be my wife!"

"WHAT?!" Matthew was utterly astounded by Tristan's last remarks.

He didn't expect that kind of answer from Tristan. He knew how much Tristan hated the thought of getting married. And here he was, saying he found someone who would become his wife.

'Did he lose his mind after climbing the mountain or he was bewitched by that beautiful woman?' Matthew pondered to himself.

Tristan erupted to another laughter seeing the surprised expression of his friend.

"Are you serious?! Tristan… I am warning you. This is not a funny joke."

Tristan stopped laughing as he faced Matthew.

"Matt… I am d@mn serious. I am not kidding. I will marry Lillie so that my sly old man will not take my CEO position away from me. This is also what you want, right? Why are you not happy with my decision?" Tristan said seriously.

Matthew couldn't believe it. But seeing Tristan's expression, he knew this was not a joke.

"Alright! It's not that I am not happy. You know… I am just shocked by your decision. You chose a stranger to be your wife. Though she is very beautiful, still, she is acting very weird." Matthew said, looking at him helplessly.

Tristan rolled his eyes once again.

"Maybe she's a little bit weird right now but she can change. I will teach her. She is a fast learner." He said, reassuring Matthew.

"Honestly, I am more worried about her. Do you think she can handle being the wife of a naughty CEO like you?" Matthew said, mocking his friend.

Tristan gave him another kick on his leg.

"Aw!"

"I wonder if you are really my friend?" Tristan scoffed at him with his glaring eyes.

Matthew chuckled. "A true friend always speaks the truth in front of his friend."

Tristan had no words to refute that.

"By the way, I want you to do something for me once we get back in the city." He said, changing the topic.

"Just tell me. You know that I will do everything you say." Matthew said, there was a glint of humor in his eyes.

"Haha! Of course, you should! After all, I am still your Boss and I am paying you a high salary!"

The two of them ended up laughing.

"I want you to find a house or apartment near my condo unit. Buy it for me and register the ownership to Alice and Thomas Meyer." Tristan instructed him.

Matthew was taken aback for a moment.

"A-Are you buying a house as a gift for your future in-laws?" Matthew guessed that Alice and Thomas were Lillie's parents because of the surname Meyer.

Tristan nodded. "If that's what you think then my answer is yes."

"Whoa. I didn't know you could be a generous and very thoughtful son-in-law. Hahaha, Tristan Davis, you are giving me a lot of shocks today! Are you changing for good now for the sake of your future wife? Does it mean you will also stop seeing other women from now on?" Matthew said spontaneously, his eyes brimming with amusement and excitement.

"Hahaha, changing for good my a*s?! Of course not! Nothing will change. That's one of the reasons why I chose Lillie to be my wife instead of choosing someone among my women." Tristan promptly replied, correcting Matthew's line of thoughts.

Matthew squinted his eyes at him. 'I knew it! Tristan Davis won't suddenly change in just one day. Now I really pity Lillie.'

"Tristan, you are becoming worse! Are you trying to take advantage of Lillie? I really felt sorry for her. I wonder why she agreed on becoming your wife. How can you stand it, deceiving a very innocent woman like her?" Matthew didn't hide his disappointment towards him.

"Hey! Hey! You are also hurting my feelings, Matt! I am not going to hurt her. Besides, the two of us have a deal. She will also benefit from this setup. I didn't deceive her. She was willing to be my wife." Tristan defended himself, though deep inside he was a little bit guilty.

Tristan moved closer to Matthew, holding his shoulder.

"Trust me, Matt! I am doing this for her own good. I don't have any intention to hurt her. She is also a very special girl to me." Tristan sounded sincere while saying those words.

Matthew could only sigh in defeat. He knew that Tristan meant those words so now he believed him.

"Okay. I understand. I'll do what you say. But I want to warn you, Tristan. Don't make things difficult for Lillie. There is the word 'Karma'. If ever you hurt her I know you will regret it someday." Matthew gave his friend another meaningful advice.

"Hey… Are you cursing me? Why are you so protective of her. Do you like her, Matt?" Tristan lamented.

'Matt, if you only know then you will not think like that. She's a demon god's daughter. She's a demoness! She has superpowers. How can I hurt her? She will kill me first before I can harm her.' Tristan thought to himself.

Matthew looked at him with disbelief. "I am just saying the truth. I just feel sorry for her because I know you very well, Tristan. You might cause a lot of trouble for her. Yes, I like her since she's so pure and innocent though she's a little bit strange. But I don't like her in a romantic way."

Tristan smiled upon hearing that.

"Good! Because I don't want my best friend to covet my wife."

Matthew just shook his head.

"By the way, The Chairman... I mean your grandpa… he contacted me this afternoon." He said as he remembered the message of Tristan's grandfather.

"Oh, really? What did he say?" He asked with intrigue.

"He wants you to come over tomorrow night. You will be having a family dinner."

"Family dinner?" Tristan frowned.

Matthew nodded. "Yes, all members of Davis Family will come together with some very close friends."

Tristan fell silent.

'Does this mean I am also going to see Andrew and Hannah?' He felt troubled at that thought.
