When Tristan was already outside his condo unit, he finally talked to Agent Phoenix who was waiting for him from the other line.

p Tristan: "Agent Phoenix, How is it? Did you find FaMo or any cat that looks like him?"

Agent Phoenix: "Good evening, sir! Sorry for the delay. But I have good news. I finally found a cat who looks like FaMo."

Agent Phoenix was still bathing in sweat. He didn't stop roaming around the Empire City and the nearby cities, visiting lots of pet shops just to accomplish his ridiculous mission of finding a missing cat.

He felt like dying from exhaustion. 'As I said before, it is easier to find Nemo, a clownfish than FaMo, a black fluffy cat that looks like Garfield.'

However, Agent Phoenix didn't have the heart to voice out his complaints.

Tristan: "Good job. You can bring FaMo's substitute tomorrow. I'll contact you again when and where we are going to meet. But please… continue searching for FaMo."

Agent Phoenix: "Noted, Sir Tristan. I will wait for your further instructions."

'Finally, I can take a rest now. I want to go home and sleep.' Agent Phoenix mumbled to himself while glancing at the black cat beside him. It was still inside the steel cage.

He found it from one of the pet shops outside the City of Empire.

"Sir, Tristan… I will send you the picture after this call," Agent Phoenix told Tristan.

"Okay. Send it to me."

After saying that, Agent Phoenix said goodbye to Tristan before hanging up the phone. It did not take long when Tristan's phone beeped and vibrated, indicating that he received a message.

Tristan opened the message, scanning the attached photos. The cat in the picture had a resemblance to FaMo but Tristan noticed something.

"FaMo is chubbier than this cat," Tristan mumbled to himself while sighing deeply.

Though FaMo was always scratching Tristan's hand and seemed like he was always interrupting Tristan's intimate moments with Zhen-Zhen, Tristan already missed FaMo.

"Where are you now, FaMo?" Tristan muttered worriedly.

Tristan was leaning on the wall just outside his door when suddenly the door was opened and FaMo appeared.

"Tristan!"

Tristan almost dropped the phone in his hand the moment he heard FaMo's stern cold voice. He was surprised and shocked when FaMo suddenly emerged from the door while calling his name.

'Did he see FaMo's photo? Did he hear my conversation with Agent Phoenix? Am I caught red-handed by my father-in-law?' Tristan pondered at that thought.

FaMo was looking at him intently as he crossed his arms over his chest, giving Tristan a sharp cold glare.

"Father… is there something wrong? Do you need something from me?" Tristan politely asked FaMo.

FaMo was fresh from the shower. His hair was still wet. His masculine scent mixed with soap and shampoo.

FaMo raised his eyebrow and said, "Do you know that the tips you gave me put me in trouble?"

"Huh? What tips? What trouble?" Tristan asked him in confusion.

"You said I should observe other people who were dating so that I would learn from them and apply those things during my date."

Tristan bobbed his head, "Yes, I said that. Is there something wrong with that, father?"

FaMo's lips formed into a thin line. With his glaring eyes, FaMo flicked Tristan's forehead using his fingers.

"Ouch!" Tristan grunted, rubbing his forehead. The spot became red right away.

"I applied what you said to me. I saw two pairs of couples in the movie theater. I mimicked their action. I saw a man wrapping his arms around the girl's shoulder! I also did it." FaMo said spontaneously.

"Then the other guy grabbed the girl's hand. I also followed his action, entangling our hands. Then… the last thing I saw… the guy started kissing the girl beside him. So I also tried to do it with Sophia!"

Tristan: "..."

Tristan couldn't find the right words to respond to FaMo's last remarks. He was looking at him with eyes wide open and mouth gape.

'Did he just say he tried to kiss Sophia?'

After several seconds of silence, Tristan suddenly burst out laughing. He could no longer contain his laughter as the realization struck him.

"Pfft… Hahahahaha… F-Father… w-why did you do that? How did Sophia react?" Tristan had difficulty speaking continuously as he was still laughing hard while holding his stomach.

FaMo's frown deepened. His face contorted. He seemed like Tristan was making fun of him right now. FaMo flicked his forehead once more.

"Aww!" Tristan stopped laughing as he winced from the pain. FaMo hit him a little bit harder.

"It's your fault. Because of that Sophia scolded me, saying she almost had a heart attack because of my actions. I thought I was doing the right thing, not until Sophia started lecturing me."

FaMo could still remember what happened in the movie theater after what he did.

~ Flashback ~`

Sophia stuffed a mouthful of popcorn in his mouth just to stop him from kissing her. FaMo looked at her in confusion.

Then Sophia started lecturing FaMo. Her shyness suddenly disappeared.

"Mr. Zu Wan, just in case you've forgotten. We are just doing a practice date and this is a friendly date, not a romantic date between a couple." After saying that, Sophia bit her lower lip.

"A couple should only do the holding hands and… kissing… those are not included in our practice date," Sophia explained to FaMo.

FaMo's face reddened from embarrassment as he realized his mistake. He lowered his gaze, avoiding Sophia's eyes.

"I'm sorry Sophia. I didn't mean to offend you. I will not do it again," FaMo apologized to her.

Sophia looked at him helplessly. She didn't know why but she could feel FaMo's sincerity. She couldn't sense any malicious intent from his eyes. She just noticed that he was different and a little bit… strange. She believed him that he meant no harm.

After a while, Sophia's lips stretched out into a gentle smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Zu Wan. I'm not mad at you. You don't have to apologize. I should be the one thanking you for trying to help me and cooperating with us. I really appreciate it."
