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

"I think Lillie and I are fated to meet. We are destined to be together. I have no regrets even if my first love and I didn\'t end up being together."

\'Zhen-Zhen… she is my one true love,\' Tristan added to his thoughts, a gentle smile tugged from the corner of his lips.

Matthew could only shake his head seeing the loving look Tristan was giving his wife right now. His hazel eyes filled with love and affection for her.

After a while, Tristan turned to look at Matthew. He arched his eyebrow while smirking at him.

"What? What are you looking at?! Don\'t give me that kind of face… it makes me cringe as if you are scheming evil against me," Matthew said to him exasperatedly.

"Now that I already settled down, I think it\'s your turn to find your wife too, my dear best friend. You don\'t have to worry about me anymore. You don\'t need to nag at me because I am now behaving very well."

"Why don\'t you start making a move now… tonight? You have all night to chase after your future wife here," Tristan said, smiling cheekily at Matthew.

Matthew looked at him with disbelief. He couldn\'t help but narrow his eyes at Tristan\'s teasing. He knew that he was urging him to make a move on Sophia.

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Matthew snapped at him.

Tristan just chuckled at Matthew\'s reaction. He could see that Matthew could easily get embarrassed whenever he would bring up Sophia. He was blushing again.

"Mattie… do you know how cute you are when you are blushing? Hahaha. You looked like a teenager," Tristan continued teasing Matthew.

"How many times I have told you? Stop pairing me with Sophia. She… She…" Matthew couldn\'t finish his sentence. He just heaved a deep sigh.

"She\'s what? Don\'t you like her? Is it because of her age?" Tristan asked him curiously.

"Dude… how many times I told you that age doesn\'t matter," Tristan insisted.

After saying that, Tristan realized that he didn\'t know Zhen-Zhen\'s age yet. \'Might as well ask my wife. I didn\'t know her birthday. How can we celebrate her birthday? I only know Lillie Meyer\'s birthday. I want to celebrate her real birthday. I think I should ask my father-in-law.\'

Tristan was still thinking about Zhen-Zhen\'s age and birthday when Matthew suddenly spoke up to answer Tristan\'s queries.

"Sigh, Sophia… I just admire her personality. Besides, she also likes someone else so you should stop teasing me with her. She might feel awkward once she learns that you and Lillie are pairing us up together. She won\'t like the idea as well." Matthew said to him helplessly.

Tristan let out another chuckle. "Come on, Matt! You are so pessimistic. How sure are you that she won\'t like it? You are handsome but not as handsome as me." Tristan didn\'t forget to become shameless. Matthew just rolled his eyes skyward because of his last remarks.

"Furthermore, you have a stable job. You are a good person and a gentleman. A husband material! So I think you can replace that Marcus easily," Tristan said, boosting Matthew\'s confidence.

Matthew didn\'t speak further. This time he couldn\'t win the argument against Tristan. Then he heard him sigh deeply. Matthew glanced at him only to see his pitiful expression.

"What\'s wrong?" Matthew asked him.

Tristan signaled him to look at the dance floor. Matthew followed his line of sight.

"My grandpa is a sneaky old man. When it comes to my wife, he is always competing with me. See, he even stole her first dance tonight from me. I should be the one in his place right now," Tristan lamented to Matthew.

Matthew started laughing again. He was surprised also seeing Grandpa Lu getting closer to Tristan\'s wife. He was not like this even to Hannah. But he had to admit that Lillie\'s personality was likable.

She was able to make Tristan fall in love with her in just a one month span. Then she won Tristan\'s parents and Grandpa Lu\'s favor in an instant without doing anything.

She just acted and treated everyone genuinely. She had the charm wherein people could easily get drawn to her.

While Matthew was watching Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa Lu on the dance floor, his eyes suddenly found a familiar figure. That person was Sophia. She\'s also dancing together with Marcus. Both of them were staring at each other\'s eyes.

For some unknown reasons, he could relate to Tristan\'s feelings right now.

\'It should have been nice also if I was the one in his place,\' Matthew thought to himself while looking at Marcus.

Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Sophia and Marcus became the center of attention. Most of the girls who had a crush on Marcus were staring at them with envy. They couldn\'t accept the fact that Marcus was together with Sophia tonight.

Some of them were also supporters of Marcus and Athena\'s love team. They preferred to see Athena with Marcus, instead of Sophia. She\'s just nobody for them.

They thought she didn\'t deserve to be with Marcus. She was out of his league. They were jealous of her because she\'s so lucky that Marcus invited her as his date tonight.

While everyone was giving the pair a ridiculing look, Sophia and Marcus were just enjoying their time on the dance floor.

"Sophie, did I tell you that you are so stunning tonight?" Marcus said with a gentle smile on his face. He was complimenting her.

His simple compliment brought a blush to her cheeks instantly. She felt very shy. She was not used to getting compliments from a guy, most especially if this guy was Marcus.

"Thank you. Same with you. You look gorgeous tonight," Sophia returned his compliment.

Marcus just let out a husky laugh. "By the way, thank you for accepting me as your date tonight. It\'s my honor to be with the smartest girl on the campus."

Sophia giggled and said, "You are flattering me too much, Marcus. I should be the one telling you that. Compared to you, I am just nobody."

"Of course not. That\'s not true," Marcus reacted right away. His grip on her waist tightened, pulling her closer to his body.

Sophia smiled faintly. "You are just being nice with me," she said in a low voice, almost a whisper.

Marcus was taken aback when he heard that. Suddenly, he felt guilty for her. He could see how Sophia was so happy to be with Marcus tonight.

Now, he was having a second thought about the bet he made with his friends. It\'s still not too late to back out now.

He was asking himself if he could really do it to Sophia. She\'s an amazing person and he didn\'t want to play with her feelings anymore. Marcus was lost in his thoughts, contemplating what to do.

Same with Marcus, Sophia\'s mind was also occupied by something. She never dreamed of this moment to happen. It was so good to be true that she could hardly believe it.

She knew the great disparity of their status. So she was not expecting that Marcus would like her. She already felt contented being friends with him.

After a few minutes, the first song was done. The band performed another romantic song. Marcus was about to ask Sophia if she\'s still okay to continue dancing with him when someone approached them.

"Bro, may I dance with her?" Then he turned to Sophia who had a stunned expression on her face. "Can I?" He asked her softly, wearing a gentle smile on his face.
