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

Philip and Solena exchanged glances with one another when they heard that statement. They were surprised, not expecting Sophia to introduce a guy to them as her boyfriend.

They knew that their daughter was very studious and she didn't have any boyfriends. They were aware that their daughter was NBSB~ No Boyfriend Since Birth.

"My daughter… are you telling the truth? You told us before that you would not enter into a relationship unless you graduate college." Philip said, putting on a pitiful face.

He was a little bit jealous because he felt like Matthew was taking away his precious daughter from them.

Sophia bit her lower lip as her father reminded her of the promise she told them before. Matthew, on the other hand, felt a little bit shy and awkward. It seemed that Sophia's father was unhappy after hearing the news that he was Sophia's boyfriend.

The awkward atmosphere was lightened when Solena let out a soft giggle. She patted her husband's back and said, "Hey, old man, stop scaring our daughter's boyfriend. Welcome Matthew. Come, let's eat first. You must be tired and hungry from traveling here. It was a long drive."

Solena grabbed Sophia's and Matthew's hands, pulling them to the dining table. Seeing the food, Sophia and Matthew couldn't help but drool and crave.

On the table, they could see different dishes such as freshly cooked rice, grilled fish, native chicken tinola, sticky rice snacks made of glutinous rice and coconut milk, a big plate of assorted fruits, and buko juice (coconut juice).

The four of them started digging in, eating their fill. While they were eating, Sophia's parents started interviewing Matthew. They still couldn't believe that the handsome man before them was Sophia's boyfriend.

"Are you and Sophia studying at the same university? Are you her classmate?" Philip asked Matthew curiously.

Although they had huge age gaps, Matthew still looked younger than his actual age. That's why they mistook him as Sophia's classmate.

Matthew shook his head while giving him an awkward smile. He started to get anxious again. He was insecure about his age but he wanted to be honest with them.

"Sir… I went to the same school where Sophia is currently studying right now. I already graduated a few years back. I am ahead of her." Matthew politely responded to Philip.

"Oh, just call my husband Uncle and you can call me Auntie. Calling him sir is too formal," Solena butted in.

Matthew bobbed his head with a smile, "Okay, Auntie… Uncle."

"Hmm, that sounds better," Solena softly mumbled with a smile.

"I saw your car being parked in our backyard through the window a while ago. Matthew, do you mind if I ask you what you do for a living?" Philip asked him seriously.

"I am working in the company of my friend as his assistant. Uncle, Auntie, have you heard about the Heavenly Star Enterprise? That's the company where I am working."

Philip and Solena were taken aback when they heard the company's name. Of course, they have heard about it since that company was one of the most famous companies in the country.

'I bet he has a large salary for working there. No wonder he could afford to buy and own a car.' Philip thought to himself, still putting up his guard against Matthew.

"Matthew, I will be honest with you. I don't want you to hurt or make my daughter cry. As you can see, we are just an average family and you look like you are different from us. So let me ask you this… do you have pure intentions toward my beloved daughter? Can you guarantee that you will not hurt or betray her in the future?"

Philip was just doing his job as a father to protect Sophia. He wanted to make sure that Matthew was different from those socialites living in the big cities.

Most of them were rich and handsome who were capable of making a girl cry. They heard that rich playboys were rampant in the cities. They would make a girl fall for them then ditch her once they got tired.

Solena and Sophia darted their gaze between Philip and Matthew. They suddenly felt a heavy tension surrounding them.

'Father is always overprotective of me. Please go easy on Matt.' Sophia silently wished while biting her lower lip.

Meanwhile, Matthew looked straight into Philip's eyes before answering his question.

"I don't care about social status… I don't mind if the girl I love is from a poor or rich family. Uncle, I assure you… I only have pure intention towards Sophia. My feelings for her are sincere. I will not break her heart. I promise."

"If you don't believe me now, I will do my best to prove my words through my actions. I will take care of Sophia."

Matthew told them those words from the bottom of his heart. He was serious about Sophia and he was sincere.

Philip and Solena met each other's gaze. They could somehow feel that Matthew was telling the truth. Those were not empty words. He was determined to prove it to them.

The husband and wife felt relieved knowing that Sophia found a good man. Their guts and instincts were telling them to trust this guy.

Sophia smiled after seeing her parents' expression. She assumed that Matthew succeeded in wooing her parents using his honest words.

Matthew continued talking as he tried to convince Sophia's parents.

,m "Uncle… Auntie… I just want to let you know that I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with your daughter. If you will allow us, I want to marry her after she graduates from college!"

Philip: "..."

Solena: "..."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Sophia choked on her food when Matthew suddenly mentioned marriage.

'Marrying me? I'm still young for that, aren't I? Why do I feel like Matthew is trying to ask my hands from my parents now? Is he serious?'

Sophia turned to Matthew with a questioning look. Matthew just smiled sheepishly at her as he scratched his face.

He didn't mean to shock her and her parents by mentioning marriage. It just came out of his mouth naturally. Besides, he was carried away by his feelings.

Matthew just wanted them to know that he loved Sophia so much that he was already thinking about their future together.
