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

~ At Wilkins Residence ~

Yuri came to visit the Wilkins Family today as she received a message from Maribel, informing her that Matthew was going home today.

Fortunately, she had a flexible shift in her family-owned hospital. If there would be an emergency operation, the staff would just inform her. Besides, there were enough heart surgeons that could cover up for her absence.

Maribel and Yuri hang out on the balcony. As usual, they were talking about Matthew. The Wilkins Family Dinner would be held tomorrow night. Yuri would be attending the said gathering.

"Sis Yuri, are you sure you want to see my brother today? Don't you want to surprise my brother during the family dinner tomorrow?" Maribel asked Yuri. They were on the swing right now.

Yuri glanced at Maribel with a faint smile. "Hmm, I want to see him today. I missed him. I don't know if he can still remember me. It's been so long since the last time we saw each other."

Maribel let out a soft giggle. "Sis Yuri, believe me. My brother hasn't forgotten you even once!"

"He might be the one worrying whether you already forgot about him or not," she added with a teasing smile on her youthful face.

Yuri blushed when she heard that. In fact, she was nervous to meet Matthew again. They were childhood sweethearts before but unfortunately, she moved abroad to pursue her studies. She dreamed of becoming a  skilled doctor.

Now that she fulfilled her dream, she decided to return to the City of Empire. She wanted to settle down there for good. Who knows? She and Matthew could continue their blooming love before.

"I've never forgotten him. I would remember him from time to time, especially if I could see things that would remind me of him," Yuri truthfully answered Maribel.

Maribel grinned from ear to ear because of Yuri's response.

"Sis Yuri, can I ask you some personal questions again?"

"Sure, as long as I can answer it, I don't mind you asking me."

"Did you have previous romantic relationships abroad?" Maribel asked her expectantly.

Yuri glanced at Maribel before nodding her head. "Yes, I do. But just a fling and not that serious. I was so focused on my studies."

"Oh, that's understandable. Studying Medicine is so hard and difficult. I admire you, Sis Yuri! You are very smart and you survived it."

The two girls continued talking about each other, laughing and teasing each other. Then Maribel decided to ask Matthew whether he had already arrived in the City of Empire or not.

Maribel: "Brother! Where are you now?"

Yuri was silently watching Maribel as she talked to her brother. Maribel put her phone speaker on so that Yuri could also hear Matthew's voice.

Yuri's heart skipped a beat hearing Matthew's deep voice. His voice was very masculine now, unlike before when they were still in middle school.

Matthew: "I just arrived here in the City of Empire. Why did you suddenly call me, little one?"

Matthew loved calling his younger sister 'Little One'. This was his endearment for her.

Yuri and Maribel felt delighted hearing his response.

Maribel: "Really? So are you coming home now?! I miss you, big bro!"

Matthew let out a soft chuckle. He didn't know why his sister sounded very happy and excited.

Matthew: "I'm sorry Little One. I'm not going home today. I have to go somewhere. I will see you tomorrow during our family dinner."

Matthew and Sophia were traveling to Sophia's hometown to meet her parents today. They would stay there overnight and go back to the City of Empire by tomorrow.

Sophia's birthday was tomorrow. Matthew wanted Sophia to celebrate her birthday together with her parents. After that, they would travel back to the city of Empire in the afternoon, to attend Wilkins' Family Dinner.

Maribel and Yuri felt disappointed since Matthew was not coming home today.

Maribel: "Alright. Just take care, Brother! You've been away from us for too long! Come home soon, okay?"

Matthew: "Yes, of course. I will not miss our family gathering!"

After reassuring Maribel, Matthew ended the call since he was still driving. They were now on the way to Sophia's hometown.

"Is that your sister on the phone a while ago?" Sophia asked him.

"Yes, it's my sister, Maribel. She's just 16. I think the two of you will get along well once you meet each other."

Matthew held her hand and brought it to his lips. He kissed her knuckles.

"Hey, eyes on the road Mr. Matthew Wilkins!" Sophia slightly scolded him with her reddened face. Just a simple gesture of love could make her heart flutter.

Matthew let out a husky laugh before moving his gaze back to the road.

"Aye, Ma'am! I'm sorry I can't help it. There is a charming passenger beside me so I can't stop looking at my side."

"You are good at sweet-talking. Did you learn that from Tristan?" Sophia said, trying her best to hold her smile.

Another chuckle escaped Matthew's mouth.

"Are you underestimating my skill in flattering my woman? So you always thought I learned this from Tristan. Can't you see the skill of your man?" Matthew said with a pout.

This time Sophia let out a soft giggle. Matthew was so adorable while pouting his lips.

"I'm sorry, Matt. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," Sophia said, squeezing his hand.

Matthew's curled up into a bright smile. "You silly girl! I'm just kidding. I'm not upset!"

Matthew released her hand to pinch her cute nose.

"Aww, Stop that!" Sophia hit his hand.

Matthew stopped the car for a moment.

"Hey, Why did you stop? I told you to stop pinching my nose, not stopping the car." Sophia said, looking at Matthew with disbelief.

Matthew turned to his side to face her. He had a mischievous smile on his face.

"I know. I stopped the car for a different reason," he said.

"Eh, for what reason?" Sophia asked him confusedly.

"For this…"

Before Sophia knew it, Matthew already grabbed her face as he captured her lips with his. Matthew was kissing her passionately in the middle of the road. It was a long lingering kiss that lasted for several minutes. They just stopped when the car behind them started honking at them.
