YM778.TV Chapter 42 Lunch Box
It was already noon time but Tristan had not received any message yet coming from Zhen-Zhen. He was about to call her when the Chairman\'s assistant, Mr. Twig, entered his office.
Mr. Twig had been serving his grandfather for over 30 years now. He was Grandpa Lu\'s loyal assistant slashed secretary. He was also considered part of the Davis Family\'s close friends.
"Young Master, your grandpa wants to see you in his office now." Mr. Twig directly said to Tristan, inviting him to go to Grandpa Lu\'s office.
Tristan frowned for a moment but in the end, he still followed Mr. Twig going to his grandpa\'s office.
When he came inside, Andrew was also there, sitting on the leather couch intended for the Chairman\'s visitors. Grandpa Lu was also there, sitting on the opposite side of Andrew.
"Come here, Tristan. Join us." Grandpa Lu invited him to sit down beside Andrew.
Tristan just quietly walked over, his eyes were fixed on the lunch boxes that were placed on the table.
"Where\'s Matthew? Why did you come alone?" Grandpa Lu asked him immediately the moment he didn\'t see Matthew.
"I asked him to run some errands for me. He will come back here at the company by afternoon." Tristan simply replied to his grandpa.
"Where did all these foods come from?" he asked them afterwards.
"Your mother cooked these for both of you. She asked our family Chauffeur to send these over. Come here, let\'s take our lunch together." Grandpa Lu said while preparing the food on the table.
Tristan\'s eyes widened as he remembered that he had not yet ordered lunch for Zhen-Zhen. Since he was waiting for her message the whole time, ordering food for her skipped his mind.
\'D@mn! Why did I forget about it.\' Tristan cursed himself inwardly.
After a while, Tristan\'s eyes sparkled with light as an idea popped up in his mind.
Without a warning, Tristan stood up and quickly snatched one lunch box on the table. Grandpa Lu, Andrew and Assistant Twig averted their gaze to Tristan with their confused look.
"Hey, Brat! What are you doing? Put it down. Don\'t be so selfish! Don\'t tell me you won\'t share that food with us!" Grandpa Lu got riled up by Tristan\'s sudden action.
Tristan immediately hugged the lunch box in his arms and turned away when grandpa Lu tried to get it from him.
"Grandpa, don\'t be so childish. You are able to taste and eat Mom\'s cooking everyday. Just give this to me. I have to go somewhere and share it with someone." Tristan said with a wide grin on his face.
Without waiting for them to react, Tristan walked towards the door in a hurry.
"You pesky brat! I told you to eat together. Where are you going? Come back here!" Grandpa Lu yelled as he watched the retreating back of his stubborn grandson.
Before Tristan vanished from their sights, he still managed to answer his old man\'s inquiry.
"I\'m going to have a lunch date with my future wife!" Tristan exclaimed without looking back.
But they still managed to hear his laughter when he went outside the door. Andrew just sighed deeply while Grandpa Lu and his assistant exchanged glances with each other.
They thought Tristan was just joking, trying to provoke and annoy his grandpa more. But unknown to them, Tristan was telling the truth.
Grandpa Lu just sat back on his chair, shaking his head. Tristan could really annoy him this much. He felt like that grandson of his would be the death of him someday.
He was trying to make the two brothers to be closed again but Tristan was really determined to distance himself from his brother and even from his family.
Tristan was a sweet, loving and very obedient child before. He was also full of joy with his bright ,cheerful and warm behavior. His grandma doted on him so much. He was the source of his Grandma\'s happiness, that\'s why Grandpa Lu was very fond of him too.
However, Grandpa Lu had noticed the changes in Tristan\'s behavior and attitude towards the family when Andrew and Hannah became a couple.
Then he found out that his grandson had feelings for Hannah. It seemed like Tristan had blamed his family for losing Hannah because they accepted Andrew in the family.
After that, Tristan tried his best to become more independent. He went to boarding school. He didn\'t come home often. Two years before he graduated in college, he asked his parents to buy him a condo unit.
Then he started living separately from them. The sweet loving boy before was long gone. He became distant even to his family.
Grandpa Lu just wished him to be happy and move on. He knew the reason why his grandson became a playboy… It was simply because he was heartbroken.
That\'s why when Grandpa Lu heard the planned engagement between Hannah and Andrew, he immediately approached Tristan, pressuring him to find a wife and settle down.
He thought he was doing that for his grandson\'s sake. He wanted him to forget about Hannah. He wished someone could help Tristan mend his broken heart.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Andrew asked him since he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
"Yes. Let\'s eat. Just never mind your naughty brother! I\'ll make sure to give him a lesson next time."
Andrew just let out a soft chuckle. "Grandpa, don\'t be too harsh on him. The more you wanted to control him the more he would oppose you. He is an adult. Don\'t stress yourself too much because of my brother."
"Tsk… an adult but acting like a child!" Grandpa Lu scoffed from that thought.
"I think Young Master Andrew has a point, Chairman. Just let him be for a while. Young Master Tristan will understand you when the time comes." Mr. Twig supported Andrew\'s remarks.
"He will get tired of rebelling against you. Besides, even if he doesn\'t show it to everyone, Young Master Tristan still cares about you, and his family." Mr. Twig added, consoling Grandpa Lu.
