YM778.TV Chapter 732 Tell Me More About Her
The family dinner started. Everyone was gathered around the dining table. The awkward atmosphere a while ago disappeared when Grandpa Solomon began asking Sophia and Matthew about their relationship.
Matthew didn\'t deny the fact that he was the first one who fell in love with Sophia. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen also supported his remarks, making Sophia blush in embarrassment.
She didn\'t expect that Matthew would be so vocal about his feelings for her in front of his family, as well as his childhood sweetheart.
Sophia couldn\'t help but steal glances at Yuri from time to time. Yuri looked fine. She was even smiling as she listened to Matthew\'s story. However, Sophia could see the hint of sadness in her eyes.
Yuri was sad and hurt knowing that Matthew already had a girlfriend.
\'I guess I\'m already too late. Besides, I\'ve been gone for too long. What should I expect? Of course, Matthew would find someone to love.\'
Yuri\'s heart clenched inside her chest as she thought of those things. However, despite being jealous and sad, she was truly happy knowing that Matthew was doing fine.
She could tell that Matthew really liked Sophia. It might be hard to accept it, but Yuri knew that she should let go now. She didn\'t want to break the two apart.
"What… you are just 20 years old?! You are only four years older than me!" Maribel blurted out suddenly when she learned Sophia\'s age.
Among the people there, it was only Maribel who didn\'t like the fact her brother already had a girlfriend. She still wanted Yuri to be Matthew\'s girlfriend.
Maribel didn\'t hide her displeasure knowing that Sophia was too young for her brother.
"Brother? Are you a sugar daddy now?"
"Maribel!" Grandpa Solomon raised his voice to stop Maribel from insulting Sophia and Matthew.
The atmosphere became tense again because of Maribel\'s remarks. Matthew wanted to scold his sister but Sophia stopped him by holding his hand under the table.
Sophia wanted Matthew to calm down. She understood Maribel if she didn\'t like her as her brother\'s girlfriend. This was the first time they met so she expected that she would not like her instantly. Besides, she could tell that Maribel was close to Yuri.
Matthew\'s parents already gave Maribel a warning look. Yuri also talked to her, stopping her from saying another hurtful word against Matthew and Sophia.
Zhen-Zhen and Tristan exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They needed to change the topic since the mood was already not good.
"Doc. Yuri, thank you for saving our friend, Bianca. The surgery was a success because of you," Tristan spoke up, diverting everyone\'s attention.
Zhen-Zhen, Sophia, and Matthew were surprised when they heard that. This meant Yuri was the one who treated Bianca in the hospital and saved her life. What a small world?!
"Mr. Davis, you don\'t have to thank me. I just did my sworn duty as a doctor. It\'s our responsibility to save lives."
Sophia and Zhen-Zhen also felt grateful to Yuri. They knew she was a good person and a talented doctor.
"See! My big sis is very talented. She is smart and beautiful. She\'s already a complete package!" Maribel said, boasting to them while glancing at Sophia meaningfully.
She was trying to provoke Sophia. She wondered if Sophia would be a war freak and would make a commotion there once she got mad and super jealous.
However, it didn\'t happen. Sophia was good at enduring things. She was also able to conceal her emotions. She was smart so she somehow knew what Maribel was trying to do.
She would not embarrass herself in front of Matthew and his family. She wanted to show them that despite her age and status, she deserved Matthew.
She also promised that she would fight her love for Matthew no matter what. So Sophia just ignored Maribel\'s provocation. Finally, the dinner ended smoothly.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen said goodbye to the Wilkins Family. They were fetched by the Davis Family Chauffeur.
Yuri also said goodbye to them. She decided to go to the hospital tonight to gather herself and clear her mind. Maribel felt sad when Yuri left the villa.
She thought she would be able to bond with Yuri and Matthew. She expected that Matthew would ask Yuri to stay to have a catching-up. But she was wronged. Matthew\'s attention was only focused on Sophia.
It was Sophia whom he asked to stay in the villa, not Yuri. It\'s natural because Sophia was his current girlfriend. And Sophia was celebrating her birthday today. It was understandable that Matthew wanted to spend more time with her.
After the dinner, Grandpa Solomon and Matthew\'s parents gave the couple their privacy.
Matthew toured Sophia around the villa. When they got tired from walking around, the couple sat on the balcony.
The rest of the family already went home while his grandfather and his parents were already resting inside their respective rooms.
Maribel also locked herself in her room as she was still in a bad mood. She couldn\'t accept Sophia as Matthew\'s girlfriend. She refused to accept her because of Yuri.
Matthew and Sophia got the chance to talk about Maribel and Yuri.
"Sophie, I am apologizing on behalf of my sister. She is a sweet young girl. I didn\'t expect that she would act like that. Are you upset? Did I ruin your special day? Did you regret coming with me tonight?" Matthew bombarded Sophia with so many questions.
He sounded very anxious. He was also sorry for what happened in the dining hall. Maribel said things she was not supposed to say.
Sophia turned around to face Matthew. Looking at him, she couldn\'t bring herself to get mad or be upset with him. What happened there was not Matthew\'s fault.
"No. You didn\'t ruin my day. I am not upset and you don\'t have to apologize to me. I never regret coming tonight because… I was able to meet your family. They are all good people.. just like you. They are humble and down to earth, not arrogant at all. I admire them…"
"So… you don\'t have to worry, Matt. I am just fine. But… Can you tell me more… about Yuri?"
