158 A Mother's Request

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle were having bonding moments together with FaMo. Isabelle noticed the tulip flowers in her hand.

"Did Tristan bring you to his grandma's garden?" Isabelle asked Zhen-Zhen. There was a faint smile on her face.

She bobbed her head and said, "Yes, Mom. The garden is so beautiful. Flowers are everywhere. No wonder that spot is Tristan's favorite place here."

"That's true. That place connects him to his grandma. Lillie, can I make a request?" Isabelle told her while holding Zhen-Zhen's hand.

"Sure, Mom. Just tell me." 

"The truth is I am missing Tristan. When he went to college he became independent and started living separately from us. He was closer to his grandma rather than me. I didn't know if I made something before that caused him to distance himself from us, his parents." Isabelle shared her troubles with Zhen-Zhen.
