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

"Matthew…" Zhen-Zhen called him out the moment she noticed his presence.

Mary and Bianca were about to greet him only to stop midway upon seeing the dark expression spreading across his face.

In the end, they just remained silent, following Matthew's line of sight. His sharp gaze directed to Marcus who was hugging Sophia.

With his large strides, Matthew walked over to Sophia and Marcus. Zhen-Zhen, Bianca, and Mary just watched him silently.

'Uh-oh! I think someone is jealous,' Mary thought to herself. 

Fortunately, Sophia pushed him away instantly, keeping their distance. She didn't want to be hugged by Marcus. It felt so awkward and uncomfortable.

Marcus still had something to say but someone already grabbed his shoulder, pulling him away from Sophia.

"Damn, who is…" Marcus cursed because he almost fell when Matthew suddenly pulled him.

"How many times should I tell you to stay away from Sophia?" Matthew said with his stern cold voice. He moved in front of Sophia, shielding her away from Marcus.

"Matt…" Sophia softly mumbled, holding his elbow.

Matthew made a side-glance, asking Sophia if she was just alright.

"Is he bothering you again?"

"No, he just talked to me and apologized," Sophia answered him, biting her lower lip. She could feel that Matthew was upset.

"I'm not here to argue with you. I just wanted to apologize to Sophia," Marcus had finally spoken.

"Alright. Since you are done now. You can leave." Matthew said, still glaring at Marcus.

Marcus didn't say a word. He glanced at Sophia. Sophia met his gaze, nodding her head. She was telling him to leave.

Marcus could only sigh in defeat before turning around to leave. When he was gone, Matthew faced Sophia with a serious expression.

"Why did you let him hug you?" Matthew asked Sophia, pouting his lips.

"I-I didn't… he suddenly pounced on me and I was not able to react fast. But I pushed him away. Didn't you see?" Sophia said, defending herself.

Without saying another word, Matthew pulled her, engulfing her in his strong arms. Sophia was caught off guard once again. Her face was blushing since she knew that her friends were watching them.

But she didn't want to push Matthew, or else, he would become more upset.

"Your boyfriend is the only guy allowed to hug you, aside from your family and relatives," Matthew said possessively.

Sophia could only nod her head obediently while hugging him back. Matthew's face brightened up when he felt her soft hands squeezing his body.

All his unhappiness he had a while ago already disappeared but he wanted to pretend that he was still upset. He wanted to know how Sophia would pacify her jealous boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen already signaled Bianca and Mary to go somewhere. She wanted to give Matthew and Sophia some moments alone.

Bianca and Mary followed her lead since they couldn't bear to eat dog food by just watching the couple. This was the perks of being single, no love life at all.

"By the way, why are you here?" Sophia asked Matthew, gazing up to see his face.

"Fetching my girlfriend. I missed you so I came here to see you. Who would have thought that upon arriving here, I would see you hugging another guy," Matthew said, trying his best to pretend he was still upset.

Sophia chewed on her lower lip, feeling guilty. She didn't know how she would placate this jealous man.

"I'm sorry. Are you mad at me?" Sophia asked him.

But Matthew didn't reply. How could he get mad at her, if one look and one hug from her were enough to warm and melt his heart?

"Don't you have classes now?" he just decided to ask her, ignoring her last question.

Sophia felt like crying since Matthew didn't answer her. She thought Matthew was mad at her. With her pitiful look, Sophia shook her head as a response.

'Eh? Why does she look like crying?' 

Matthew scratched his face while maintaining his neutral expression. But deep inside, he already wanted to console her.

'Sigh, can't she just sweet-talk me for once? Sophia, don't cry.' Matthew thought to himself.

It did not take long when Sophia tugged his shirt.

"Hey, don't be mad. Are you jealous of Marcus?"

"Hmm, what do you think? Marcus is your ultimate crush." Matthew didn't deny that he was jealous.

"But you are my boyfriend," Sophia insisted, chewing on her lower lip.

"But still I'm jealous. What if you will break up with me because I'm old. Marcus is younger than me."

"But you are more handsome than him!" Sophia blurted out making Matthew speechless.

His lips twitched fighting a smile. Sophia was so adorable as she reasoned out with him.

'She said I am more handsome than Marcus. Though I already know that, it still feels good to hear it from her own mouth.'

Matthew could feel that he was going to give in soon once Sophia continued sweet-talking him.

"Prove to me then… that you like me more now," Matthew said to her expectantly.

Sophia took a deep breath. She looked around to see if anyone was watching them. When she noticed that Zhen-Zhen, Mary, and Bianca already left, she felt relieved.

She would feel embarrassed if they would see her like this. 

On the other hand, Matthew had kept his eyes on her the entire time, and now she was looking back at him. He was waiting for her next action.

It did not take long when Sophia tiptoed and kissed him on his right cheek.

Matthew was taken aback for a moment. This was the first time Sophia had initiated to kiss him. His heart was already singing with joy but he would appreciate it more if she kissed his lips, instead of his cheek.

She was always shy when he was around. The last time he kissed her was when they were at the horror house. Since then, Matthew didn't get another chance to kiss her again.

Matthew put on a pitiful face while pointing his lips using his index finger.

"Can't you kiss me here?" Matthew said pleadingly.

Sophia didn't know whether to feel embarrassed or to laugh at him. She found him so cute while giving that kind of pitiful expression.

For the sake of pacifying her man, Sophia mustered up her courage. She grabbed Matthew's head as she tiptoed again, pressing her lips on his lips.

Matthew's heart was fluttering when Sophia finally kissed him on the lips. It was like a dream come true for Matthew.

Of course, he wouldn't waste this golden opportunity. Matthew cupped her face, not letting her withdraw her lips. He kissed her tenderly yet with so much passion.

He wrapped his one hand around her waist, pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss. Sophia froze for several seconds but later on, she responded to him, returning his kiss with equal passion.

They just broke the kiss when it was time to gasp some air. Matthew was already smiling from ear to ear.

"Hmm, I'm not mad at you. I'm just waiting for you to pacify me," Matthew admitted to her before embracing her once again.

"Hmm, you are naughty!" Sophia scowled at him, hitting his chest.

Matthew just let out a soft chuckle. He bent down to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead.
