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

Matthew left the Wilkins Family Villa with a troubled heart. He was still bothered by Grandpa Solomon's wish. He was concerned about his relationship with Sophia.

He wanted to maintain and strengthen their relationship. He was afraid that Sophia might run away from him or push him away just thinking that they were not a match together. Now he was having a hard time balancing them.

,m "Should I tell this to Sophia? What if she pushes me away again? I can't afford to lose her," Matthew mumbled to himself, tightening his grip on the steering wheel.

Matthew headed straight to the Chou Hospital to fetch Sophia, his mind was occupied with so many things. He didn't even notice that he was already in front of the hospital building.

Matthew sighed deeply while shaking his head. He needed to gather himself and clear his mind. He couldn't face Sophia while looking so troubled like this.

Upon entering the lobby, he stumbled with Dr. Yuri. Yuri greeted him right away with her bright smile.

"Matthew, are you here to fetch Sophia?" Dr. Yuri knew that Sophia was still at Bianca's VIP ward.

Matthew nodded his head as a response. His lips curled up into an awkward smile. Deep inside, he felt sorry for Yuri. He promised to wait for her but he broke that promise. They were still young at that time. He wondered if Yuri truly waited for them to reunite again or not.

Matthew felt guilty because he was not able to control his heart to love someone else. He didn't plan on falling in love but it just happened.

He didn't regret it. He loved Sophia now. So even if Yuri was back, he was certain that he would still choose Sophia.

With that thought in mind, Matthew believed that Yuri deserved to hear an apology from him. He wanted to have closure between them.

"Yuri, are you free right now? Can we talk?" Matthew said with a serious expression on his face.

Yuri glanced at him for several seconds before agreeing. "Yes, I am free. Let's go to my office."

Soon Matthew followed Yuri as they headed to her office. They could still feel the awkward atmosphere surrounding them.

Yuri tried to lighten the mood by maintaining a smile. "Sit down, Matt. What is it that you want to talk to me about?"

Matthew raised his head, looking at her in the eyes. "First of all, I want to say that I'm glad to see you back. Sorry if I was not able to talk to you during the family gathering."

Yuri just smiled at him. "No need to apologize, Matt. I understand your situation. Besides, your girlfriend was there so it would be inappropriate to talk to me, knowing that I was your childhood sweetheart." Yuri was being honest and direct.

Matthew fell silent. Yuri was right. She even became the reason for their first argument last night.

"I'm sorry, Yuri…" Matthew suddenly blurted out, making Yuri speechless.

She thought she would be fine as she already accepted that Matthew already loved someone. But after hearing the word sorry from Matthew, all the pains just came flooding inside her heart.

She tried her best to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry in front of Matthew. She couldn't blame him if he was not able to wait for her.

"I don't want to make excuses, Yuri. I might be at fault and you can get mad at me. I don't know if you still remember our promise or whether you take it seriously. I just want to apologize if ever I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to do it. It just so happened that I fell in love with an amazing woman like Sophia."

"Yuri, you are an excellent woman. I know you will also find someone who will love you and take care of you… I'm sorry I am not the guy who can do that for you. But I hope we can still continue being friends."

Matthew had spoken spontaneously, without missing a beat. He wanted to tell Yuri what he truly felt. He was apologizing for breaking his promise.

Yuri could see the guilt in Matthew's eyes. She was saddened that they ended up being friends only. But she didn't like to be selfish. Though she was sad, hurt, and jealous, Yuri was also happy for Matthew.

"Sophia is a good person. I met them a while ago in the VIP ward. I want to know her better as well. I am even thinking of becoming one of her friends." Yuri shared her thoughts with Matthew.

"Matt, you don't have to apologize to me. And it's not your fault. It's also my fault for not returning sooner. But I guess, this is our fate. We are not meant to be. Just like you, I still want you to be my friend." Yuri held Matthew's shoulder, gently patting it.

"I want you to be happy. I support you. I am just here if you ever need a friend. Don't feel sorry anymore. Just like what you said, I can still find a good man." Yuri reassured him.

Matthew felt that one heavy burden was lifted from his heart. He was grateful that Yuri was very kind and understanding.

"Thank you, Yuri. I am also here if you need a friend. I wish you all the best. And I hope you will find the right man soon. You deserve to be happy as well."

Yuri nodded her head with a smile, before standing up and opening up her arms. "I guess we are now okay. We just had our closure. Now, give me a hug. I still miss you, do you know that?"

Matthew chuckled because of Yuri's remarks. She was still the sweet Yuri he knew. Matthew also stood up and hugged Yuri.

Little did they know, Sophia passed by Yuri's office. And that was the scene she saw while she was standing by the door. She saw Matthew hugging Yuri.
