Come And Hug Me

Chapter 112 – A Shocking Announcement.

Meanwhile, Sophia started to get curious when she saw Charles who looked strange.

"Honey, who's sitting next to Larry?". Sophia asked while stealing glances at Charles.

Michael smiled as he glanced at Charles.

"Charles, introduce my wife, Sophia!". Michael said, that he glanced at Sophia and said, "Honey. This is Charles, Larry's brother!".

Michael immediately introduced Charles to Sophia without having to answer Sophia's questions directly.

"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law!". Charles said sincerely..

Sophia immediately gave a smile while nodding towards Charles.

Sophia is also a normal woman and realizes that Charles is also handsome even though he is not as handsome as Michael. 

Instantly she glanced at Jennifer who had been nervous while holding back annoyance, while Charles did not show any expression.

"Honey, why are you smiling to yourself?". Asked Michael in surprise.

"I smiled because it turned out that the name Charles was very handsome," Sophia answered in a whisper.

Hearing Sophia's answer, Michael's expression darkened because he didn't expect that his wife would compliment another man in front of him.

Noticing the cold air next to her, Sophia immediately took action by holding Michael's hand while saying lovingly. "He is handsome, but not as handsome as my husband. Hehehehe…". 

Instantly Michael blushed at his wife's praise. He did not expect that his wife would seduce so cleverly.

After finishing meeting Michael's heart, Sophia glanced back at Jennifer.

"Looks like someone is nervous sitting next to a handsome man… Hehehe..". Sophia said while smiling slyly.

Jennifer glanced at Sophia with a strange expression. "Who do you mean, Mrs. Michael?"

"Others… Hehehe…". Sophia answered seriously because she was horrified to see Jennifer's expression which seemed very angry at her teasing. 

"The event has started, we better focus on the event!". Said Larry, glancing at the stage.

They all immediately turned their heads towards the stage and focused their attention.

"Good morning to all invited guests! Especially the CEO of the W Group, the Walton family, and the CEOs of diamond companies from around the world!". Say the MC out loud.

Everyone was surprised, especially the girls who love diamonds, they did not expect that all the businessmen who came today were from companies engaged in diamond and diamond mining.

"Today is Word Entertainment's birthday as well as the inauguration of W Group's collaboration with several foreign companies engaged in diamond mining, but before we talk about diamonds, let's call the CEO of Word Entertainment, Mr. Larry Alexander, to say a few words!".

Hearing his name being called, Larry immediately straightened his suit and immediately went up to the stage.

Immediately, the fans started to get hysterical, especially all the Word Entertainment artists who watched the show. They all commented that Larry was a prince from a fairy tale.

Once on stage, Larry stood proudly looking around the room.

"Good morning everyone! I'm the CEO of Word Entertainment, thank you very much for coming! Hopefully in the future Word Entertainment will be able to produce many stars who have successfully broken into the international stage and gave birth to many extraordinary new talents, besides that, I also want to thank my cousins Thank you for the opportunity given to me, for that, I would like to invite him and his beloved wife to come on stage as well as introduce himself and his wife to everyone!".

Sophia was shocked when she heard Larry asking her and Michael to introduce themselves on stage and in front of so much media, she didn't expect that this was Michael's plan.

Realizing Sophia's nervousness, Michael glanced at her and squeezed her hand saying "Honey, don't be nervous! I'm with you, and trust me everything will be fine!".

Sophia looked closely at Michael's face, after which she nodded and took a breath to get rid of her nervousness.

Applause rang out in the room when they saw Michael and Sophia standing hand in hand.

Jennifer also clapped loudly enough that her presence was noticed by the other artists. They began to corner Jennifer who sat at the same table with the most important people on the show.

Meanwhile, some people don't believe that the CEO of the W group is married, except for the extended family and some office employees and co-workers of Sophia on campus.

Even though their video went viral, many didn't believe it and thought badly.

"Oh no! Our prince is already owned by someone else!".

"This is national heartbreak day!".

"If he is married then why is there no party or news?".

"You guys don't seem to know what rich people are like, maybe they're being kept secret for some reason!".

Amidst the whispers of the guests, Michael walked leisurely towards the stage with Sophia.

On that stage, Sophia and Michael stood side by side like a king and queen. Instantly everyone was completely frozen as well as the netizens and viewers at home.

"I'm Michael Walton and this is my wife Sophia Lawrence, we've been married for 8 years and separated for several years for a number of reasons, and I want to thank my wife for loving me faithfully for the past 8 years even though I'm not by her side!". Michael said while smiling gently at Sophia. 

Everyone was immediately hit with jealousy seeing how romantic Michael was to Sophia.

"Because of this beautiful woman I can stand proudly in front of all of you, and to all invited guests, thank you for coming to this event!". Michael continued loudly after taking a breath.

Sophia couldn't hide her enchanted face with Michael's sweet words so she couldn't help but smile lovingly at Michael.

The sound of applause once again echoed through the room after Michael finished his announcement. 

Mrs. Anggi was relieved to see that his only son could smile widely again. Even though she hasn't fully accepted Sophia. The most important thing for her right now was to earn Michael's trust.

The viewers and netizens who witnessed the event began to flood the comments column.

"Apparently he has been married for 8 years ago, they hid it very neatly".

"That means Mrs. Clara is the second woman?".

"That's right, there's no way she could block the engagement because she's actually the legal wife of Mr. Michael …". 

Netizens continue to flood the comments column with their opinions.

Meanwhile, Michael and Sophia got off the stage because Sophia wasn't comfortable being on stage for too long.

"Mr. Michael, you are amazing…". Jennifer said while showing her two thumbs up at Michael who had just returned to his desk.

Jennifer was relieved to see them back because she had only been silent beside Charles, who was also silent.

Michael and Sophia smiled at Jennifer as they sat comfortably in their chairs. 

Just at that moment, Jennifer felt Charles was glancing at her so she felt annoyed and angry.

"Why are you glancing at me?". Jennifer asked curtly. 

"Strange woman…". Charles said quietly, grinning at Jennifer.

Jennifer's expression darkened when she heard Charles say she was weird.

"What? You say I'm weird? Did I hear right?".

"Yes". Charles answered without glancing at her.

At that moment Jennifer took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she said. "Hi… Iceberg monster! Listen to me! Actually, the weirdest person is you, you are heartless, you are a cold-blooded monster, and one more thing, you are not normal because you have no interest in women".

Hearing Jennifer's last sentence, Charles immediately looked back at her with a horrifying look. Instantly Jennifer shuddered and regretted what she had said.

"Gosh, the demonic aura is out. Why can't I control my words? Now I'm in danger of offending this demon. God, please save me!". Jennifer thought as she swallowed her saliva deeply.

Before saying anything, Charles put down his cell phone, after which he corrected his seat and leaned back in the chair with his hands resting on his lap. 

After that, he looked closely at Jennifer's face, which was looking down in fear while taking a deep breath, and then said. "Miss, marry me!"

Hearing Charles' words, Jennifer was immediately shocked. She then looked up and met Charles's gaze with bulging eyes.

"Did I hear right? He said marry me earlier? Luckily no one heard him, but why is he suddenly talking like that?". Jennifer thought.

Jennifer mustered her composure before opening her mouth. After that, she glanced at Michael, Sophia, and Larry who were still chatting. 

After feeling safe, Jennifer looked back at Charles and asked, "Did I hear right? Did you marry me earlier?".
