"Chapter 32- Who did it? (Tristan's comeback)"

As the rain kept pouring outside of my window, I can't believe I skipped work... I should've just gone to bed than strolling around the halls, well I'm not sure If I really did that. A notification popped up on my phone that made me flinch and be surprised; who could that be? It might be Abigail.

I walked towards my phone that kept buzzing; It was Abigail, and... an anonymous number?. A knock made me flip my phone over-- "Klein?" a muffled woman's voice said, "Yes?" I answered without even seeing the messages Abigail sent, Belinda opened the door with a soft smile, "You have visitors," she said while opening the door for me.

Visitors?... Right! Rheanne and Tristan!

I dashed outside and almost slipped in the halls, "Don't Run!" Belinda lately warned me but it was too late because I kept on dashing to the guest room. I barged in the room only seeing Rheanne sipping tea along with Angelo, I stood there as my eyes stagger; where's Tristan... where is he-

A sudden warm embrace came by surprise and It was Tristan, "Surprise," he whispered as he pecked on my nape and slowly reaches for my hand. "Were you worried?" he asked while kissing the back of my palm as soon as he caught my hand, "You Idiot..." I said while slowly giving in from his warm embrace; this somehow feels nice...

My grandmother cleared her throat and placed down her tea, "I know both of you missed each other but please, have respect for us guest," she demanded but she seems glad after seeing us being all lovey-dovey. "I didn't know you have a lover, you should really open up more to me, your grandmother," she said while chuckling a bit, she looked at Rheanne who is very well-mannered in front of her, Rheanne nodded at her statement while sipping tea.

We both looked at each other and smiled broadly, but soon I noticed his hand covered with bruises as If he punched a wall. What happened to him?...

"Your grandma is a very nice woman," he said while chuckling and looking around in my room

"..." I gave him a silent treatment while staring outside of my balcony, he noticed and soon approached me, hugging me from behind and burying his face on my back. "What happened?" I asked while rubbing his bruised hand wrapped around my waist, "I... well..." he cleared his throat as he keeps burying his head on my back; stop being coy, I know something had happened... why can't you tell me?

I turned around as I took of his arms around my waist, I leaned my back on the stone railings as I held his face tenderly as I can. He held my hand on his face without looking at me in the eye, "Remember about that time I told you my mother wants me to marry someone else," he made me flashback that time, he took off my left hand on his face making our hands intertwined with each other. "She's hunting you down along with Elista, and I took those thugs down before they reach here," he straightforwardly answered my question and buried his face on my shoulder and won't look at me in the eyes.

Are you ashamed that your mother is trying to do the best for you? you could've lived the best life if I didn't interfere... I looked at the floor with a frown,

He kissed me on my cheek, my other one, my forehead, the tip of my nose, and lastly my lips, he seems wanting me not to worry about it. Our foreheads bumped to each other, "I will protect you, even if It cost my life," he vowed without being reluctant of what he said,

My eyes staggered as I look at his eyes, trying to suck the tear that was about to go out. He looked at me in the eyes with his lips widening a smile, I pushed him inside while closing the balcony door and pulled him for a kiss. But instead of a passionate kiss, I bit his lips after I kissed him with thin saliva that connected our lips, "ow" he said while touching his bleeding lips, "Don't do that vow again or I'll bite you again," I buried my head on his neck while pecking it, he giggled at my peck and embraced me. "Please do," he teased and laughed.

[Discussion between Klein's grandmother and the doctor]

He closed Klein's door and his grandmother stared at the doctor with frightening eyes, "So... what really happened? what's wrong with my grandson?" she asked with a raised brow, he looks around his background and whispered. "One of your servants might be lying, and did that to your grandson," he assumed while looking at every corner, "Why would any of my servants do that?" she doubted his statement, "I don't know Madam, but if the culprit is free, it might happen again," he said while dusting his clothes and gave his phone number. "Here, if something happens again, give me a call Madame,"
