Chapter 119

Zoe’s mother glanced at her father John as if she was blaming him for being too straightforward. She tried to mediate, "Her father means to ask if you have any plan after marriage?" Taking a sip of abalone soup, Noah looked up at Zoe. Although Zoe had never asked him, she still hoped to hear his plan. Noah's words were clearly heard by everyone present. "Take over the family business and make it stronger. It would be best if it could develop into a leading industry. And have two children. If Zoe think that two children are too many, we can only have one. And then take care of child in love and harmony.If Zoe wishes to continue working or wants to stay home,I am completely fine with any choice she makes and I’ll always stand by her every step of the way.I will love and take care of her until we’re old and grey.”Noah didn't feel ashamed to say so in front of all people. He didn't want to make unrealistic promises. All he wanted was to be with Zoe. Tristan squinted at his friend, who had been frivolous since childhood. Since when did he become so serious? It seemed that the magic of love was really great. Tristan also recalled the scene when he and Cora got married. Looking at Noah in front of her,Cora felt happy for Zoe. She couldn't help but secretly glance at Tristan. She was really easy-going at that time. Tristan had never really made such a formal greeting. Men would not cherish the things that were really easy to get. Zoe blushed. She didn't expect that Noah would say such words in front of so many people. Zoe’s mother nodded happily and picked up some food for Noah's mother. "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just made some ordinary dishes. If you don't like it, please forgive me." Noah's mother said politely, "It's very good. We never have such a meal at home. It seems that the cook at your home is very good. The dishes are good in color, aroma and taste." The servant was used to such a scene, but she still couldn't help but feel surprised. The table was full of dishes, but Zoe’s mother said it was just a common meal. With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Noah's father said, "What other requirements do you have? Such as the wedding requirements and the accommodation after marriage." John smiled, "Let's leave it to the young couple. I've got the answer of what I want to know. As for you, do you have anything to ask Zoe?" Noah's father was very happy. "No, nothing. Noah's mother and I are both satisfied with Zoe. There is nothing to ask. Noah has told us the basic information. We will know more in the future.” Zoe had been staring at Noah, and he also glanced at her from time to time. The two of them were extremely happy. Once they got the blessing of their parents, the probability of happiness in the future would be much greater. It occurred to Cora that when she got married, Tristan was so arrogant as if he had trampled her into the soil. If time went back, Cora would never let herself down to dust. Because no matter how beautiful the things in the dust were, they were just dust. Pulling Zoe’s sleeve slightly,Cora said in a low voice, "I wish you happiness,Zoe." Tears welled up in Zoe’s eyes because of excitement. She knew that Cora would bless her, but she didn't expect that it was at this time. As soon as their parents met, Cora couldn't wait to send her best wishes. Zoe felt warm in her heart. Today was a turning point in her life. Tristan also noticed Cora’s behavior. He didn't miss the tears in Cora’s eyes. He know that people liked to compare themselves with others. Thinking that Cora would think him too careless, Tristan felt sad. Why didn't he have any patience at that time and didn't leave a good impression on Cora? If he had paid more attention to her.Tristan sighed and drank up the wine in his glass. Today's protagonists were Zoe and Noah, and he just served as a foil. However, it seemed that his situation was so embarrassing. Tristan even felt a little regretful to have come to the dinner. If he hadn't known that Cora would come, he would never have come. However, it turned out that he became a negative teaching material. Even so, Cora didn't even look at him. After dinner, Noah's parents and Zoe’s parents went to the living room respectively to discuss the marriage of the two. Zoe took Noah’s hand to the garden of the villa. Although the flowers had withered, the garden was beautiful. Tristan and Cora followed them in embarrassment. The two of them clearly felt the difference between them and their friends. Their friends were happy and content, while they were melancholy that they even didn't know where their happiness was. On the other hand, Noah was sitting on the swing in the garden, and Zoe followed him. The two of them swung the swing together. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cora sat on a wooden chair nearby. Tristan glanced at her, but just stood next to her. Some hurt seemed more painful when there were others to compare with. Tristan took a deep breath and felt that he shouldn't have come here today. But he wouldn't show it. Even if he was unhappy, he would just be angry to himself. He wouldn't blame others. "Thank you, Cora. Without you, Zoe and I wouldn't have developed so fast." With a smile on his face, Noah put one hand on Zoe’s shoulder and this scene looked very beautiful. Cora felt a little awkward. "I don't know how I became your matchmaker. Since you have emphasized it again and again, I have to admit it even if I don't deserve it." Tristan also glanced at Cora. He hadn't talked much since he entered the house. Fortunately, the parents of both sides didn't care. Otherwise, it wouldn't be too much for saying that Tristan was here to mess up the party today. Taking a look at Tristan, who was silent and had a sour face, Noah whistled and said, "Hey, Tristan, what's wrong with you today?Why haven't you been in a good state all day. Fortunately, my parents in law haven't minded it, or you would have spoiled my gathering." Tristan came back to his senses. Looking at Noah, who was smiling but pretending to be angry in front of him, he replied, "I said I shouldn't be in such a situation. Why did you insist on calling me here?" Noah sighed, "Forget it. I won't talk about it with you. You can talk to Cora first. I'll go with Zoe to see how's the wedding discussion going." Zoe made a gesture to encourage Cora, which was seen by Tristan.Looking at Zoe and Noah who had left, Cora shouted, "Hey, Zoe, don't leave me here." It was not until then that Cora realized that she had made a gaffe. She looked at Tristan. 'Since when did he become so idle?' Cora felt a little embarrassed. 'Was it too obvious?' But she didn't mean to hate Tristan. Cora stood up and sat on the swing. "The dishes today are not bad." Tristan looked at Cora, who was trying to find a topic awkwardly in front of him. He walked up and stared into her eyes. In Tristan’s eyes, Cora, who was pretending to be calm, looked very dismayed.
