The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ At Chou Hospital ~

Andrew and Matthew didn't know what urgent matter Tristan and Zhen-Zhen had to attend to. They just left the hospital in a hurry without saying goodbye to Alveena, Bianca, and Sophia.

So the ladies asked them where Zhen-Zhen and Tristan went.

"Is something wrong? Are Lillie and Tristan just fine?" Bianca asked them worriedly.

"I think my brother and sister-in-law went to meet someone. But don't worry. I think they are just fine. We will hear from them later." Andrew informed the ladies.

"We saw Brandon and Dr. Yuri while we were on the way here. Did they know each other?" Andrew blurted out.

Sophia and Matthew fell silent at the mention of Yuri's name. She was the reason the couple had a little argument last night.

Even though they already made up. Matthew was still worried that Sophia would get upset when mentioning Yuri. He wondered if she was just fine meeting Yuri today.

Meanwhile, Alveena and Bianca also noticed the change in expression of Matthew and Sophia. Trying to erase the awkward atmosphere, Alveena was the one who answered Andrew's query.

"Yuri and Brandon met Abroad. She was his doctor while Brandon became her patient."

Andrew nodded his head. "Brandon dropped by to visit Bianca, right? Why did he leave so soon?"

Bianca and Alveena both sighed deeply and said in unison, "He didn't want us to know his secret so he fled from us, dragging Dr. Yuri with him!"

Andrew could only shake his head and laughed at them. Bianca and Alveena seemed to be disappointed since Brandon didn't tell them what they wanted to know.

They were still talking when Matthew's phone rang. Grandpa Solomon was calling him. Matthew excused himself to answer the call.

Sophia just watched Matthew's back with complicated emotions on her face.

"Sophia, are you okay?" Alveena asked her upon noticing her strange expression.

"You suddenly became quiet. Are you sick?" Bianca chimed in while touching her hand.

Andrew glanced at the three ladies. It seemed like they needed to have a girl's talk. If he was there, Sophia might feel uncomfortable expressing her feelings and sharing her thoughts with her friends.

With that thought in mind, Andrew decided to leave the ladies for them to talk comfortably without his presence.

"Ladies, I will just go outside. You can talk here. I will give you privacy." 

Without waiting for their response, Andrew just kissed Alveena on her head before walking out of the VIP ward.

Alveena immediately stood up, pulling Sophia to sit down beside her. Bianca and Alveena were now staring at her intently.

"Sophia, now talk. What's troubling you?" Alveena tugged her hand, urging her to speak up.

"Did you argue with Matthew? How is your birthday celebration? Did he prepare a surprise for you? Aren't you satisfied with Matthew's surprise? How's the family dinner?" Bianca bombarded her with so many questions.

"Hey, Bianca, slow down. One question first." Alveena giggled because of Bianca's curiosity. She didn't look like a patient, but a gossip girl.

Sophia smiled at them sheepishly. "What question should I answer first?"

Alveena's eyes lit up and excitedly said, "Tell us about your hometown visit first. I heard your boyfriend met your parents. How is it?"

"Matthew and my parents got along really well. They accepted our relationship." Sophia couldn't help but smile as she recalled her parent's approval of Matthew.

"How about your birthday? How did you celebrate it with Matthew?" Bianca asked her with utmost curiosity in her eyes.

"He was the first person who greeted me at midnight. He surprised me by giving me flowers and a beautiful necklace. After that…" Sophia stopped mid-sentence as she realized what happened next.

A blush subconsciously overtook Sophia's cheeks as she remembered what they did during the first hour of her birthday. Matthew and she became intimate inside her car and he pleased her until she reached her climax.

"Hey, why did you stop, Sophie? Don't kill us with suspense."

"What happened next?"

Both ladies couldn't wait to hear more about Sophia's and Matthew's moments together.

"We went back to sleep. And then, in the morning, we had a simple gathering at our house together with our neighbors. We celebrated my birthday together before Matthew and I traveled back here in the city of Empire to meet his family."

"What can you say about Matthew? Is he sweet? Is he romantic?" Alveena asked her expectantly.

"He is very thoughtful, sweet, and romantic… He is a complete package." Sophia didn't deny it. She admitted to herself that Matthew was indeed a wonderful person and a very sweet boyfriend.

Alveena looked at her with dreamy eyes. She could relate to Sophia because Andrew was also the same. Only Bianca couldn't relate since she was still single.

"Hey girls, stop giving that look. I feel like I am the black sheep here among us." Bianca complained to them.

Alveena giggled because of Bianca's last remarks. "That's why you should take my brother already. Make him a sweet and thoughtful boyfriend as well! Haha, I will award you Bianca if ever you succeed in making him into submission."

Bianca looked at Alveena helplessly. "You are really determined to sell your brother to me."

"Yes, of course, I am selling him for free. Anyway, let's go back to Sophie. I don't want you to kill me here. Haha."

Bianca could only sigh while shaking her head. Alveena was hell-bent on pairing her up with Clifford.

"So back to you, Sophia. What happened during the Wilkins Family Dinner? Have you met your future in-laws? How are they?" Bianca diverted the topic back to Sophia.

Sophia sighed deeply. By just looking at her facial expression, Alveena and Bianca could tell that something happened during the family gathering.

"I guess the family didn't expect that Matthew would introduce me as his girlfriend. They didn't look that happy compared to meeting Yuri. Dr. Yuri was also there last night." Sophia informed her friends.

"What? Dr. Yuri and Matthew's family knew each other?" Alveena uttered in surprise.

Sophia bobbed her head, feeling dejected.

"Dr. Yuri is Matthew's childhood sweetheart. She is his first love. His relatives were close to her, especially his younger sister. It seems that they were still rooting for the two to be together. They like Yuri more than me."

Sophia finally opened up to them. She wanted to take it out of her chest so that she would feel better.

"But I couldn't blame them. Yuri is a great choice. She is beautiful, smart, and a good doctor. A career woman from a respected family. I hate to admit it but Matthew and Yuri matched each other well. A perfect couple."

"We even argued last night because of her. I got jealous and felt insecure. I said something I was not supposed to say to Matthew. I hurt his feelings… I became inconsiderate of his feelings. I doubted his love for me.. "

"Hey, don't think about that. She is just part of Matthew's past. In love, there is no qualification. As long as you love each other, everything else doesn't matter!" Bianca said a piece of advice to comfort her friend.

Alveena and Sophia looked at her in disbelief. They never expect that a single woman like her would be able to give such wonderful love advice. 

"Haha, you sound like you are not a single woman." Alveena teased Bianca.

Bianca pouted her lips while Sophia let out a soft giggle. It was really good talking to her friends.

"But don't worry. Matthew and I already made up. Thanks for the advice, Bianca. I should listen to you." Sophia still felt bothered by Yuri but she was more guilty of hurting Matthew's feelings.

"I am like this because I am just afraid that Matthew will get tired of me. I am afraid that he will replace me since Yuri is now back for good. You know, I am a bit tacky and I don't know much about these things. I still lack experience when it comes to relationships. But I want to be better and make this relationship work out." Sophia vocally shared her thoughts with them.

Alveena held Sophia's shoulder and said, "There is no manual in dating or loving someone. If there is something I learned from experience, then I can say that you should just follow your heart."

"But there is one question you have to answer Sophia…" Alveena added. "Do you wanna lose Matthew to another woman?"

Sophia paused for a moment. After a while, she shook her head frantically. "I don't want to. I don't want to lose him."

Bianca and Alveena smiled at her response. They were satisfied to hear that.

"Then you should guard your man! Mark him yours! Be possessive of him. Don't let others steal him." Alveena said with so much conviction.

"How should I do that?" Sophia asked her innocently.

Alveena and Bianca exchanged meaningful glances at one another. Their lips curled up into a mischievous smile. Then Alveena leaned over, whispering something to Sophia.
