Chapter 753: Make You Mine Forever

Matthew felt refreshed after his release. Sophia satisfied him well. They both cleaned the mess they made in her room. Matthew apologized for it.

They also washed together in the bathroom. When they went back to her bed, Matthew pulled Sophia, letting her sit on his lap while hugging her from behind.

"Are you tired?" Matthew asked her worriedly.

"No. But my hands feel numb." Sophia told him truthfully.

Matthew chuckled, feeling a little bit guilty. "Sorry about that my Love. Come here. Let me massage you."

Sophia got off Matthew's lap and sat beside him so that he could massage her hands.

"Love, were you upset with me a while ago? I really thought I did something that you didn't like." Matthew started massaging Sophia's hand.

Sophia smiled faintly. She would be honest with him. "Yes, I felt upset and jealous a while ago. I thought you were hiding something from me. But then, I realized that I should trust you, instead of doubting you."

Matthew stopped what he was doing when he heard that. He raised his head to meet her eyes.

"Why, Sophie? What did I do?" Matthew was still clueless.

Sophia sighed deeply before answering his query.

"The truth is… I saw you in Dr. Yuri's office. I dropped by to talk to her but you were talking to her. I didn't hear your conversation but I saw you hugging her…" Sophia lowered her gaze, biting her lower lip.

Matthew blinked his eyes several times, just staring at her. He didn't know that. Now he understood why Sophia was not in a good mood. She misunderstood what she had seen.

"I asked you… what took you so long to arrive, hoping that you would mention dropping by Yuri's office. But you didn't. So I thought you intentionally hid it from me."

"No, Sophia. I don't plan on hiding it from you. Please don't misunderstand. It was just a friendly hug." Matthew reacted right away, explaining things to Sophia.

"We bumped into each other in the lobby. After listening to you last night, I realized I owe her an apology for breaking the promise I made. So I asked her if we could talk."

"Sophie, believe me. Yuri and I just talked to have closure. We are only friends. You are the woman I love. No one will replace you in my heart. Please believe me." Matthew sounded desperate. He didn't want Sophia to get the wrong idea.

Sophia just bobbed her head with a smile. She raised her hand, caressing Matthew's face.

"Yes, Matt. I believe you. I already told you that starting today I will put my hundred percent trust in you." Sophia reassured Matthew, erasing his worries.

Matthew felt so happy to hear that. He pulled Sophia into a hug. He got scared for a moment. He thought Sophia would not believe him.

She had difficulty trusting men ever since Marcus betrayed her. He took advantage of her and played with her feelings. So Matthew understood if Sophia didn't trust him fully before. She was hurt because of Marcus and his betrayal.

"So, what did Dr. Yuri say to you after apologizing to her?" Sophia asked him with her curious gaze.

"She said it was not my fault. She accepted everything. She supports our relationships, wishing us to be strong. She also reassured me that she's fine."

Sophia nodded her head. She knew it. Dr. Yuri is a good person. She didn't hold grudges against Matthew and her.

"Oh, before I forget Love. Yuri also told me that she wanted to know more about you. Perhaps you can be friends too."

Sophia was at a loss for words for a moment. She didn't expect that Yuri was also thinking like that.

She became more ashamed and guilty of how she reacted. She tried to ignore and avoid Yuri. But Yuri wanted to get to know more of her.

"I think I should visit Dr. Yuri next time. I feel ashamed for being jealous for no reason. I was so insecure because I also admire her for being an amazing woman. She is a complete package, beauty and brain with high social status and noble profession."

"Hey! My girlfriend is a complete package as well! Beauty and Brain!" Matthew proudly declared.

Sophia giggled, hitting Matthew's shoulder. He really knew how to flatter her.

"Love, there is something I want to consult you as well." Matthew began opening the topic regarding his grandfather's wish.

"Okay, Love. Let me hear it."

"My grandfather summoned me this afternoon. The reason he wanted to meet me was to talk to me about the company. He is retiring as the Chairman of Wilkin's company. He offered me the CEO position…"

Sophia gasped upon hearing that. "Oh, is that true? So you are going to be the CEO. Are you resigning as Tristan's assistant? Is that the reason you gave me the job opportunity as Tristan's secretary in order to replace you?" 

Sophia had spoken spontaneously. This was not the reaction he expected from her. She seemed like she was not affected at all even if he would become a CEO. She even bombarded him with so many questions.

After a while, Matthew pouted his lips and answered her last question. "Of course not! I asked you to be his secretary so that I could be with you, not to replace me. If I will be a CEO then I will prefer if you will work for me, not for Tristan!"

Sophia burst out laughing. Matthew's words made sense. "Hmm, so what do you want to ask from me, Love?"

"Will you be okay if I ever accept the CEO position?"

Sophia fell silent for a moment. She somehow figured out what Matthew was thinking. She realized that Matthew was hesitating to accept it because of her. He was worried that she would not be okay, thinking that their gaps in status would become great.

Sophia gave him a reassuring smile. "Love, whatever your decision is, I will support you on that. From now on, I will no longer care about our different status, nor feel inferior. I will focus on loving you and make our relationship work out. I don't want to lose you either. I love you so much, Matt…"

Matthew was at a loss for words upon hearing that. His heart was singing with so much joy. He felt so touched by her words. 

Couldn't hold back his feelings, Matthew cupped her face and kissed her passionately. He just felt the need to kiss her. He felt so grateful and lucky to have Sophia's pure love.

Sophia returned his kiss. They were back to their passionate moment. Both of them could feel the profound love they had for each other.

They didn't want this to end. They felt that their relationship had become strong after facing some obstacles and challenges. 

Those things made them realize that they didn't want to lose each other and they were both willing to do anything just to maintain their strong love.

After the long deep kiss, Matthew looked straight in Sophia's eyes. "Love, I want to marry you soon. Sigh… I can no longer wait to make you mine forever."
