"Wifey… what took you-" Tristan stopped mid-sentence upon seeing the face of the woman.

That person was not Zhen-Zhen, but Hannah.

"Eh, what is she doing here?" Jake asked Blake in a low voice.

The twins were still in their hiding spot. Tristan asked them to catch a lot of fireflies a while ago. They would let those fireflies go once they received a signal from Tristan.

This was their initial plan for Tristan's surprise to Zhen-Zhen. Catching fireflies was not a joke but the twins persevered for the sake of the bribes they asked from Tristan.

"Why are you asking? Of course, I don't know the answer. Did Matthew make a mistake? This surprise is for Lillie, not Hannah," Blake responded to his twin brother.

Jake facepalmed upon hearing. "Brother, why do I feel like trouble is coming? What if Lillie so Tristan and Hannah here together. She might misunderstand right?"

Jake suddenly had an ominous feeling about this.

Blake nodded his head frantically in agreement to Jake's last remarks.

"Honestly, I am more nervous about Tristan's action. He's acting lovey-dovey with his wife but I still wonder if he already got over with Hannah." Blake shared his concern with his twin brother.

"Well, let's watch and see," Jake said.

The twins averted their gaze back to Tristan and Hannah who were already talking to each other.

"Why are you here?" Tristan asked Hannah.

Hannah giggled after hearing Tristan. He frowned when he saw Hannah's reaction, her cheeks were also red. He somehow noticed it because of the light coming from the moon.

"Are you drunk?" Tristan asked her again.

Hannah giggled once again before shaking her head, "Nope, I'm not drunk. I just drank a little," Hannah replied to him.

Tristan massaged his temples. He knew she's drunk. Hannah only had low tolerance when it came to alcoholic drinks.

"Where's my brother? Why are you alone? He should not have let you roam around this area while you are drunk." Tristan felt like scolding both Hannah and Andrew.

"Don't ask me about Andrew. I came here to see you, Tristan." Hannah giggled once again.

Tristan's frown deepened after hearing that. The confusion resurfacing in his hazel eyes.

'Hannah, came to see me. But why?'

Hannah was drinking together with their other cousins a while ago. Andrew was also with them. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were mingling with the other group.

Hannah would steal a glance in their direction from time to time. After a while, she noticed that Tristan disappeared among the group. She looked for him but she only saw Zhen-Zhen and Matthew together.

She decided to search for Tristan. She made some alibi to Andrew that she would just go to the comfort room. Hannah left the activity area several minutes before Zhen-Zhen did.

Hannah kept a lot of things in her heart. She felt like she could no longer hide them. With everything that was going on right now, she needed to pour it out or else, she wouldn't have a peace of mind.

"Are you here to apologize for what your mother did to my wife?" Tristan asked her curiously.

"If you do then you don't have to do it anymore. It's not your fault. Go back now. Andrew might be looking for you now." Tristan added, thinking of ways how he would dismiss Hannah.

Tristan was thinking that her presence here would ruin his surprise to Zhen-Zhen.

"I'm not here to apologize. It took me a lot of time to find you here. Why are you sending me away already? Why don't you accompany me to go back there? You said I'm alone and drunk, so will you just let me leave like that?"

Tristan looked at her helplessly. 'What gotten into her? Why is she acting like this?'

"Alright, I will ask someone to accompany you." Tristan said. He was thinking that he could ask either one of the twins to accompany Hannah on her way back.

Tristan was about to call the attention of the twins who were hiding in the dark when Hannah suddenly hugged him from behind.

Tristan was taken aback by her action. His body became stiff and he froze on his spot. He didn't expect Hannah to do that. Was this the effect of alcohol to her?

Aside from Tristan, Blake and Jake were also surprised to witness that.

"Uh oh! Hannah is drunk! But why is she doing this to Tristan? She already has fiancee and she knew that Tristan is already married!" Jake exclaimed.

"I have no idea!" That's the only words Blake could utter at that time while watching Tristan and Hannah with his astounded expression.

Tristan tried to remove Hannah's arms which were wrapped around his waist but her grips on his body tightened more. Hannah began to speak up once again.

"Tristan… I drank a little so that I could find my courage to tell you this. Please listen to me." Hannah's voice was begging him.

Hannah continued, "I need to get this out of my heart and tell you the truth."

Tristan heaved a deep sigh. "Hannah, what are you talking about?"

"Tristan! That day! I lied to you that day! I didn't like Andrew! You're the one I truly liked before! I have loved you first before Andrew!" Hannah confessed to Tristan.

Tristan: "..."

Jake: "..."

Blake: "..."

Hannah began to cry as she continued speaking. "I was a coward! I thought by lying to you and making you jealous would make you confess your feelings to me. I waited for you to tell me how you feel about me. I was hoping that you would tell me that you loved me. I was waiting for you to fight for me!"

"But nothing happened. I thought you didn't feel the same way. I was wrong. If I didn't lie to you then you would have confessed to me already!"

"I kept thinking that it was all my fault. You said you didn't confess to me because I said I like Andrew. If I didn't do that, maybe we could have been together now, am I right?"

Tristan was tongue-tied as of this moment.

"Shit, don't tell me I'm dreaming! Did I hear it right, brother? Hannah also liked Tristan before?" Jake asked Blake with disbelief.

Blake also didn't expect to hear this revelation. "Yeah, you heard it right, brother! Damn! What is Hannah trying to do here? I can't understand why she had to tell Tristan all of this? It's already too late. Tristan is already married and she is engaged to his brother."

"Oh gosh! This is big trouble. What if Tristan didn't move on yet? And grabbed this opportunity? Will he file a divorce so that he can be with Hannah? And will Hannah break the engagement? Then the two of them will end up together." Jake blurted out exasperatedly.

"How about Andrew and Lillie? What will happen to them?" Jake couldn't stop his mouth from spouting things.

Blake hit his brother in the head. "Can you please lower your voice!"

Speaking of Andrew and Zhen-Zhen aka Lillie, the four of them didn't notice their arrival. They were standing from a certain distance, enough to witness and hear everything.

Andrew and Zhen-Zhen just stood there silently, both having complicated feelings as they watched Tristan being hugged by Hannah while confessing her feelings to him.
