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

Sophia and Matthew were very quiet while waiting for Zhen-Zhen and Tristan who were still talking backstage. Sophia felt a little bit awkward with Matthew. 

After everything that happened, she still felt shy toward Matthew. She didn't know how she would talk to him without being embarrassed.

Matthew did his best to protect her. He even pretended to be her boyfriend in front of Marcus and his friends just to maintain her woman's pride. She felt grateful for that.

However, she couldn't help but feel ashamed about herself. Matthew saw her in that state wherein she and Marcus were sharing a very intimate moment. Whenever she would remember that she had the urge to hide from Matthew.

Matthew, on the other hand, didn't know how to start a conversation with Sophia. He didn't know if Sophia felt uncomfortable in his presence just because he pretended to be her boyfriend.

He could feel her uneasiness and it seemed like she was avoiding him.

'Is she upset with me? Did I overdo it? She said she's okay and not mad when I apologized to her before. Did she just pretend to be okay? Did she hate it when I lied to them about being her boyfriend?' Matthew heaved a deep sigh while thinking about those questions in his mind.

Both of them were avoiding each other's eyes. They just stood there quietly. However, Matthew was stealing a glance at Sophia from time to time. 

He wanted to talk to her. He hated this kind of awkwardness between them. He hoped that Sophia would feel comfortable in his presence, not like this.

'Argh… what should I do?' Matthew subconsciously tugged his hair in annoyance. He was annoyed with himself.

That adorable look of Matthew tugging his hair was the view that greeted Sophia's sight when she decided to take a peek and check what Matthew was doing.

For some reason, Sophia found him cute and funny while doing that. He looked like he was about to cry or something. Sophia was not able to hold herself and a soft giggle escaped her lips.

When Matthew heard that, he glanced in her direction only to find out that Sophia was looking at him while laughing cheerfully. He was still holding his hair with both hands.

Matthew fixed his hair immediately, a blush subconsciously crept over his cheeks. 'Damn, did she just see me doing that? Argh… so embarrassing, Dude.'

*Cough! Cough!* Matthew cleared his throat.

"Headache…" He simply said as an alibi, trying to save his 'handsome and respectable' image from Sophia.

Sophia stopped laughing and her face became serious again with a hint of worry. "Are you okay? Do you feel sick?"

Matthew smiled inwardly when he saw the concern in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm okay now… feeling so much better… after seeing you smile," Matthew said in a suave tone while flashing his charming smile. 

Sophia: "..."

Sophia was rendered speechless. Now it was her turn to be flustered as her cheeks reddened in an instant. Sophia looked away immediately while biting her lips. She pretended that she didn't hear his last remarks.

Matthew, on the other hand, couldn't believe that those words came out of his mouth. 'Dang… did I make her feel uncomfortable again? It just came out of my mouth naturally. Damn! I think this is the effect of watching over Tristan for years while he was flirting with women.

It did not take long when Zhen-Zhen and Tristan joined Sophia and Matthew. 

"Hey, Are you two alright? Both of you look like tomatoes right now. What happened to your faces?" Tristan blatantly said, smiling teasingly at Sophia and Matthew.

Matthew narrowed his eyes at him as if telling Tristan he didn't have to say that loudly. Tristan just chuckled while shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Shall we go home now, wifey?" Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen. She just smiled and bobbed her head frantically. 

She was tired today and she wanted to go home for her to rest. Zhen-Zhen didn't know why but she could easily get tired lately.

"Matt, Sophia, come with us. We will celebrate tonight. Are you both free?" Tristan asked the two people who felt very awkward with each other.

"Hmm, sure. We have to celebrate Lillie's victory. She just snatched the title of Campus Belle from Marcus's girl." Matthew couldn't help but make that side comment.

It's too late when he realized that Sophia might still be affected by Marcus. He wanted to hit his mouth for mentioning Marcus's name and pointing out that Athena was Marcus's girl. 

But Sophia didn't mind it at all. She just nodded her head with a smile and said, "Yes, let's go and celebrate!"

Soon, the four of them left the University of Imperial Knight. They dropped by the Supermarket to buy food and drinks for tonight's celebration. Matthew was assigned to be a Chief Cook tonight.

After an hour of shopping, the four of them finally arrived at Tristan's place. Tristan didn't expect that upon entering the house, a surprise was already waiting for him.

Tristan dropped the paper bags he was holding the moment he saw the two black fluffy cats sleeping together on the couch in the living room.

'Oh my gosh… the real FaMo has just returned. I'm doomed! Zhen-Zhen would know that I lied to her,' Tristan was screaming in his mind. The look of shock and disbelief was written all over his face.

"Tristan… what's wrong?" Zhen-Zhen asked him curiously when she noticed him coming into a sudden halt and dropping the groceries on the floor.

Tristan gulped hard as he glanced at Zhen-Zhen with a guilty expression. She frowned and glanced in the direction where Tristan was looking at moments ago.

Zhen-Zhen's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the two black cats.

"FaMo," Zhen-Zhen blurted out excitedly before running toward the couch.

She was glad to see FaMo back in his cat form. This only meant that FaMo had regained his magical power.

FaMo suddenly woke up when he felt soft hands carrying his body. He blinked away his sleepiness and looked up only to see Zhen-Zhen's smiling face.

'Oh, they are back.' FaMo thought to himself.

"FaMo," Zhen-Zhen mumbled again before squeezing him in her arms. 

Then FaMo gazed forward and he saw Tristan who was frozen in his spot while wearing complex emotions on his handsome face.

That was the time when he realized that he was still in his cat form. FaMo tried his best not to laugh after seeing Tristan's expression.

He didn't mean to put him in this difficult situation. It's just that he tried out if he already recovered his power so he shifted back into his cat form.

He succeeded. After that, he planned on returning again in his human form but suddenly Pam-Pam approached him.

He wanted to play with FaMo in his cat form. So the two of them started running around in the different corners of the house until they got exhausted.

They ended up sleeping together on the couch. He didn't expect that Tristan and Zhen-Zhen would return soon.

FaMo and Zhen-Zhen knew what Tristan was worrying about right now. They could tell right away after seeing the guilty expression of Tristan.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Sophia who were oblivious of what was happening in the living room just entered the house and joined them.

Sophia gasped in amazement upon seeing the two cute adorable black cats. "Wow, they are so cute. Are they siblings or a pair?"

Meow! Meow!

FaMo: 'Sophia, that's brutal. I am a mighty dragon. If I have a sibling then it should be a dragon, not a cat.'

Zhen-Zhen laughed at FaMo's remarks. She's the only one who could understand him.

Sophia also carried Pam-Pam in her arms.

"They are not siblings," Zhen-Zhen answered Sophia.

Tristan also spoke up. "Not a pair. They are both male cats."

Sophia frowned when she heard that.

"CEO Tristan, are you sure about that? This cat I am holding right now is a female, not a male cat."

Tristan: "..."

FaMo: "..."

Zhen-Zhen: "..."

The three of them were stupefied and thinking about the same thing. 'So Pam-Pam is a female cat! Not a male cat!'

Sophia told them how distinguished a female cat from a male cat.

After hearing that, Tristan turned to Zhen-Zhen. "You already knew that Pam-Pam is not FaMo that's why you gave her another name?"

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip. She knew that Pam-Pam was not FaMo but she didn't know that Pam-Pam was a female cat.

However, Zhen-Zhen just played along with Tristan's assumption and nodded her head. Besides, she couldn't tell Tristan yet that FaMo was not an ordinary cat. 

'Grrr. Agent Phoenix! I will reduce your salary because of this! Why did you choose a female cat as a substitute for a male cat!?? My wife already knew all along.' Tristan immediately blamed Agent Phoenix because of this.

Then Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen again with his pitiful look. "Wifey, are you mad at me for lying and hiding the truth from you about FaMo's disappearance?"

"No, hubby. I understand your good intention. I didn't mind it."

'I should be the one who should apologize for hiding the truth from you, hubby. Besides, FaMo didn't disappear. He is with us always.' Zhen-Zhen added to her thoughts.

Sophia and Matthew who didn't know what they were talking about just left the husband and wife as they both proceeded in the kitchen.

They gave Zhen-Zhen and Tristan privacy to talk while the two of them made themselves busy preparing for tonight's dinner.
