312 More Than Home (1/2)

The next day, Zach and Keira visited the grave of Zach's biological father, Charles Liu. His uncle, Thom, had given him a pass to enter the Liu's private graveyard.

Keira sighed as she watched her husband stare at the gravestone solemnly. On it, was a photograph of Charles Liu, smiling.

”You really resemble him a lot… Look at those attractive eyes and lips… And that smile...” Keira noted while she examined every single detail of Charles Liu's facial feature in the photograph.

”Yeah… Senior Liu… I mean, Uncle Thom and my mom said that too,” Zach muttered before he let out a long deep sigh.

”Dad, Father, Pa… I'm not sure which one you prefer... But I'm really grateful to you for giving me life. Mom said, you were a responsible man and would definitely be a great father if you were alive… I grew up well, and I'm married now. You have a beautiful daughter-in-law…” Zach proudly introduced Keira as he grabbed her waist with a smile on his face.

”Hello, Father, wherever you are... I'm Keira, your daughter-in-law. Uhm, although it's a bit awkward to talk to you like this, but I'm happy and pleased to meet you. I want you to know that your son right here is someone that you can really be proud of. He is really the best! And by the way, you'll soon have grandchildren… I'm carrying twins… Isn't he amazing?” Keira chirped as she introduced herself.

Zach chuckled and said, ”See how adorable my wife is, Dad? She was actually the one who worked hard on the twins. Not me...”

Keira's eyes rounded as she pinched her husband's waist. ”Stop that. I don't want my father-in-law to think of me as a perverted daughter in law.”

Zach laughed and pinched Keira's nose in return as he whispered, ”Dad must think we're one weird couple…”

The couple bid their farewell after they told the deceased Charles Liu some more of Zach's stories.

They were walking hand in hand toward the graveyard's exit when Zach suddenly spoke,” By the way, Uncle Thom requested me to use the name Liu instead of Lim… Also, Old Madam Liu would like us to live with them at Liu's Ancestral Mansion. For a few months, if possible...”

”You did not mention anything about this last night?” Keira asked with pouty lips.

”I was planning to mention it today because you had a tiring day yesterday…” Zach answered as he kissed his wife's hand.

She was indeed too tired that she had climbed directly to their bed to hug Zach and sleep without even bothering to clean herself up as soon as she arrived home last night.

”Hmm, it's a given that they want to get to know you and to give you their family name because it's also your right. So, what did you tell him?” Keira asked as she swung their clasped hands.

”What do you think I should do?” Zach stopped walking and sat on a bench just next to them and pulled her to sit beside him. He then looked at the sky.
