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

"Can you tell me more about… Yuri?"

Matthew glanced at Sophia with complicated emotions on his face. Was it really a good idea to talk about Yuri? What if she would be more upset? What if she would feel inferior?

He knew that Sophia was bothered by Yuri. However, if this was the case, then Sophia might be jealous. And if she's jealous, it only meant that she was possessive of him.

'Should I test her?' Matthew thought to himself, still hesitating.

'She has nothing to worry about. I only love her. Yuri is just part of my past.'

Matthew sat down on the bench, asking Sophia to sit beside him. Sophia moved closer to him and followed him obediently.

Matthew wrapped his arms around her shoulders as he started talking about Yuri.

"Yuri is my childhood friend. I will not deny the fact that she is my first love. I had a crush on her during middle school."

Sophia crumpled her face after hearing that. Matthew was very frank and honest to admit it. She had the urge to punch him but she controlled herself.

"I even asked her to be my girlfriend and she agreed. We were still young at that time. We started dating in school. No one knew about it except us. Everything was going smoothly between us. However, just one day, I found out that she was leaving to pursue her study abroad."

"I felt heartbroken that day… she tried to comfort me by asking me to wait for her. She promised that she would return."

"Did you wait for her?" Sophia asked him. "Is that the reason you remained single? It's not just about being busy taking care of Tristan… but you chose to be single and didn't date anyone because you were waiting for her?"

"Am I right?"

Matthew fell silent when Sophia said those words. He didn't know whether to say the truth or not.

"Matt… you promised me that you would not lie to me…"

Matthew felt alarmed, sensing the sadness in Sophia's voice. Yes, he indeed promised her that he would not lie. But what if she would get hurt by knowing the truth?

"Sophia… listen to me… Yuri is just part of my past. It's you whom I love the most…"

"Matt… please just answer my question." Sophia felt like there was a lump on her throat right now. She wanted to believe Matthew but part of her couldn't help to feel anxious and jealous.

Looking at her, Matthew took a deep breath before answering her.

"Yes, that's true. I waited for her. I didn't date anyone because of her… but everything changed when I met you, Sophia."

"Please… don't be sad and don't be upset. I'm telling the truth. Sophia… because of you… my heart learned to love again."

"But you promised to wait for her… Matt. And I can feel that she still loves you. She's so happy to see you again. She fulfilled her promise. She came back for you. Are you breaking your promise too?" Sophia burst out.

"Sophie… It was a long time ago. Several years have already passed. I already have a change of heart. I am in love with you, not her." Matthew insisted.

Sophia removed his arm and she stood up to create a distance between them. Matthew looked at her worriedly. He didn't like the way Sophia was acting tonight. He thought they would be fine. But Sophia's attitude suddenly changed.

"If you broke your promise to her then there's a great possibility that you will break your promise to me. What if after several years, you will have another change of heart? I'm afraid that… I will end up getting hurt just like Yuri…"

"No! Of course not! I will not hurt you, Sophie! I love you…" Matthew said helplessly.

He was hurt right now because he learned that Sophia hadn't trusted him fully. She was still in doubt of his love for her.

"But you also loved Yuri at that time. And you still broke her heart." Sophia was acting stubbornly right now. Her mind was clouded by jealousy.

"No, it's not! We are just not meant to be, Sophie!"

"Will you also say that once we break up? We are not just meant to be?" Sophia clenched her fists as she started to step backward.

Matthew also stood up, trying to calm his emotions. It was a painful truth that Sophia didn't trust him. She didn't trust his love for her.

How could she say that easily? Matthew had no plan of breaking up with her. He was already thinking of their future together. He couldn't wait for Sophia to become his wife. He already made up his mind that he would wait for her until she became ready to marry him.

Sophia had no idea that Matthew was already thinking of creating his own family with her. She was already included in his future plan.

But it seemed that Sophia was different. She was still doubting him. She was thinking about Matthew breaking her heart in the future, instead of thinking about being together in the future.

Matthew looked down, clenching his fists. He was really sad right now, knowing that Sophia was thinking about these negative things.

'Can't she trust me? What should I do to prove to her that I will never hurt her? Is my action not yet enough to show her how much I love her?'

Matthew didn't say another word. It would be useless since Sophia would not listen to him.

"Let's go back inside the house. I know you are tired. You should take a rest now." Matthew said, changing the topic.

Sophia just stood there, watching Matthew in disbelief.

'That's it? He is ending this discussion because I am right.' Sophia was fuming in rage.

"Drop me home! I want to go home." Sophia said, acting childishly.

Matthew shook his head before lifting Sophia in his arms.

"Hey put me down! What are you doing Matt?! I said I want to go home."

Matthew just ignored her complaints as he continued to carry her inside the house.

"Don't make a noise. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa are already sleeping. Don't wake them up."

Sophia had no choice but to remain quiet, letting Matthew carry her to his room.
