Chapter 1186 Confession of Feelings
"I'm sorry, everyone. I was picking up my girlfriend and came a few minutes late," Tristan said gently, with his arm around Claire's shoulder.
Claire instantly looked over at him.
"Girlfriend?" Monica stood there in anger, "You have a girlfriend?" She looked un disbelief, feeling heartbroken.
Mr. Swain and Zack were also shocked.
Claire was dumbfounded. When she was about to explain, Tristan pulled her to sit down on a chair. He grabbed her shoulder hard, hinting her to cooperate.
"Yes, I do." Tristan said in a relaxed tone.
Claire looked at Monica, who was dressed up and wearing light makeup, and suddenly realized that this was a blind date.
And she was being used as a shield!
She complained about Tristan in her mind.
"What?" Zack looked both surprised and serious, "Tristan?"
Tristan grabbed Claire's hand with one hand and put the other on her shoulder, he said to him apologetically, "I thought this was a casual dinner and I could bring my girlfriend."
He once again stressed that Claire was his girlfriend.
"When did you have a girlfriend?" Zack was shocked, looked at Tristan and at the girl sitting across the table, "I have never heard you mention you have a girlfriend before."
He had met Claire, in the Russell family.
As a father, he was simply surprised and didn't blame Tristan.
"You never asked," Tristan replied.
There was silence.
Monica was so angry that she was about to storm out, "This is ridiculous."
Her father immediately stood up to catch up with her, "Monica!"
Claire felt that she had caused a big trouble, she didn't know what to do.
"Tristan, you..." Zack didn't know what to say about Tristan and went after the Swains, "Mr. Swain!" He proposed the dinner and he had to give an explanation even if they were old friends.
Tristan's hand was still on Claire's shoulder and the other hand of his was still holding Claire's hand.
He looked calm and indifferent.
Claire took back her hand in anger and looked back at him, "This is the favor you asked me to do for you?" They were so close that when she turned her head, their lips almost touched.
Tristan stared at her, ignoring her anger.
Claire instinctively leaned back, "I am very angry with you now. I trusted you!" Then she stood up and was about to leave.
Tristan strode over and pulled her into his arms, "Claire, I like you." He said seriously.
They locked eyes and time seemed to have stood still. Claire was stunned when she saw how serious he looked.
Two seconds later, she struggled out of his arms.
She took two steps back, looked at him, didn't know what to say and left. "I will give you the money back for the clothes."
Tristan could tell she was really angry and caught up with her, "Claire!" He grabbed her arm again and said, "Why reject me? Consider dating me."
He saw a trace of estrangement in her eyes just now, it seemed he freaked her.
"I like you. I have lived for 30 years and have never felt this way about anyone before," Tristan didn't want to let go, "I was attracted by your uniqueness since I met you for the first time."
Claire stopped, turned around and looked at him, "Tristan, I am mad at you now and you are saying this to me?"
Tristan was stunned. What was wrong with that?
Claire was distraught, frowned and questioned, "Why didn't you tell me I was here to fake your girlfriend?"
"You wouldn't have agreed if I told you the truth," Tristan replied straightforwardly, "I just want to take you to my dad."
"Your dad?" Claire was stunned.
Tristan realized he had a slip of tongue, but since he liked her, he didn't mind letting her know the truth.
He admitted it, "Yes, If Mr. Clarke's son and Jennifer's brother."
He added, "I can give you a future with no worries but happiness."
