Chapter 505 - Blinding Their Eyes With Sweetness
When Liam asked Sophia and Zhen-Zhen about what they were doing in that place, they told him that Tristan and Matthew were admitted to the hospital because of an accident.
They didn't specify the details of the accident. Liam didn't ask further. He also informed the girl that he was about to go home when he got hungry so he dropped by the convenience store to buy something.
Liam couldn't help but look at Zhen-Zhen intently. His penetrating gaze caught the attention of Sophia. She wondered why Liam was looking at Zhen-Zhen with complicated emotions on his face.
Sophia and Zhen-Zhen said goodbye to Liam and were about to leave the convenience store when he suddenly grabbed Zhen-Zhen's hand, thus stopping her from moving.
Both Zhen-Zhen and Sophia were startled by his sudden action. He was gripping Zhen-Zhen's hand tightly.
But they hadn't noticed that Liam's emerald eyes suddenly sparkled and something came out of his palm that was holding Zhen-Zhen's hand. It was invisible to the naked eyes. Only Liam could see it.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen was put in a trance while looking at Liam's eyes. It seemed like her mind went black for a few seconds before she was back again to her usual self.
When Zhen-Zhen recovered from the daze, Liam apologized and released her hand right away. He didn't say another word, letting Zhen-Zhen and Sophia go.
His eyes followed them until they got out of the convenience store. He was looking at Zhen-Zhen with complex emotions.
'I'm sorry, Lillie. I had to do this.' Liam mumbled while clenching his fists.
*****
The next morning, Zhen-Zhen and Sophia woke up early. The hospital provided extra beds for Zhen-Zhen and Sophia. They could request something because Tristan and Matthew belonged to the VIP Patients.
But Tristan didn't agree about sleeping on a different bed so, in the end, Zhen-Zhen slept beside Tristan.
Though his entire body was in pain, Tristan was able to sleep comfortably because he was cuddling Zhen-Zhen in his arms.
Matthew got jealous seeing Tristan being so intimate with his wife in front of them. He couldn't ask Sophia to sleep with him in one bed. She would feel uncomfortable.
He didn't want to rush things between them. Sophia was still trying her best to open up with him.
Although they were already exclusively dating, he knew that Sophia was still being reserved. She was still adjusting to their relationship.
Matthew just settled on watching Sophia's sleeping figure the whole night. He couldn't still believe that Sophia gave him a chance. Now, he had a very amazing intelligent woman as his girlfriend.
Matthew had sworn to himself that he would protect her fragile heart. He would not make her cry. He would do her best to make her happy and forget about the heartache brought by Marcus.
Zhen-Zhen and Sophia prepared the breakfast for their patients. They were the ones acting as their nurses right now. Tristan and Matthew were just savoring the moment of being served by their beloved women.
When they were done feeding them, Zhen-Zhen and Sophia took a quick bath first, getting ready for today's interrogation. That was one of the reasons they woke up early. They were so excited to interrogate those gang members.
"Eh, wifey? Are you leaving already?" Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen with his puppy dog-eyed look. He even pouted his lips to look cute with his childish vibe.
Sophia and Matthew were fascinated to see the mighty CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise was acting childishly like this in front of his wife just to be comforted.
Zhen-Zhen just cupped Tristan's bruised face, gently planting soft kisses on his forehead and cheeks.
Sophia and Matthew just pretended that they didn't see it. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were blinding their eyes with sweetness overload early this morning.
"Don't worry, Tristan. Sophia and I will come back soon. We will just do the interrogation and get some answers from them. You will watch us, right?"
Tristan nodded his head. He was still reluctant to let Zhen-Zhen leave. He didn't know why but he felt like not letting her go anywhere. He just wanted her to stay by her side today.
'Why am I being sensitive right now?' Tristan asked himself.
"FaM~ I mean, my father will be there with us too so you don't have to worry too much about us. We are safe there and I can protect Sophia and myself, most especially our baby," Zhen-Zhen reassured him.
"Come back soon!" Tristan demanded, pulling Zhen-Zhen into his arms as he embraced her tightly.
They hugged each other for several minutes. Tristan didn't want to let her go yet.
'Tristan is very clingy to his wife,' Sophia murmured to Matthew.
Matthew let out a soft chuckle and responded, "Don't you like a clingy man? I might turn out to be like him too when it comes to you."
Sophia's cheeks reddened instantly because of Matthew's remarks. She couldn't control her blush once Matthew started telling her some cheesy lines.
"I might hold on to you for an hour too," Matthew added in his suave tone. "Aww!"
Sophia could only pinch Matthew's waist for him to stop talking. She didn't know how long she could last with his teasing.
"Hmm, Stop that. You are making me feel embarrassed," Sophia complained.
Matthew just let out another soft chuckle before zipping his mouth. Matthew's motto was 'Sophia's wish is my Command!'
When Tristan finally released Zhen-Zhen from his tight hug, he gave her one passionate kiss on the lips. He couldn't control himself even though Sophia and Matthew were there.
Matthew and Sophia were the ones who got embarrassed watching that intimate moment between Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
'Argh! Tristan, can't you have a little bit of self-control? I felt like you are punishing me now,' Matthew lamented to himself.
Then he glanced at Sophia meaningfully as if he was begging her about something. Sophia just arched her eyebrows and pretended she didn't understand Matthew's pleading look.
'Don't tell me he is asking permission to kiss me? No way! Tristan and Zhen-Zhen are here. I can't do it!'
