BXBX NOVEL Chapter 734 They Made Up
Matthew's room was engulfed with deafening silence. The couple didn't talk further. Sophia stepped into the bathroom to have a quick shower while Matthew went to his study to gather his emotions.
He hated that the two of them argued tonight. They were supposed to be enjoying each other's company. Sophia's birthday was not yet done.
He planned on staying up all night and asked her to watch movies with him. But now, he couldn't do that. Both of them were not in the mood.
Matthew lost count of how many times he sighed inside his study. He was hurt but he couldn't blame Sophia. He couldn't even bring himself to get mad at her.
When Sophia told him that she wanted to leave and go home, Matthew felt alarmed. He was afraid that Sophia would ask him to break up. That's what he was afraid of. He didn't want that to happen.
If he had to trap her in his room, he would not hesitate to do that as long as Sophia would not disappear from his sight.
He would not give up. If he had to beg her to stay, he would do it as long as Sophia would not leave him.
It was natural for the couple to have some arguments once in a while. But they had to make sure to fix their misunderstanding as soon as possible.
"I have to talk to her again," Matthew mumbled, waiting for Sophia to finish showering.
Matthew stood up and returned to his room. Sophia was still in the bathroom. Matthew heaved another deep sigh as he glanced at the closed door of his bathroom.
He wondered what Sophia was thinking right now. Was she still mad at him? Matthew decided to go out on the balcony attached to his room. He wanted to clear his mind.
After a few minutes, he went back only to see Sophia already lying on his bed. Her eyes were already closed.
'Is she asleep? Or she is just pretending to sleep because she doesn't want to talk to me?'
Matthew had no choice but to let it be for now. He went to the bathroom to have a shower as well. When he was done, Matthew joined her on the bed.
Matthew watched her for several minutes. When he made sure that Sophia was already asleep, he moved closer to her, cuddling her in his arms.
"I love you, Sophia. Happy Birthday, Love. Goodnight. See you in dreamland," Matthew whispered in her ear.
He greeted her for one last time before he closed his eyes. He hugged her tightly, afraid of letting her go.
When Matthew drifted off to sleep, Sophia opened her eyes. She heard Matthew's words. She couldn't help but tear up. She ruined the night.
*****
The next morning, Sophia woke up to the feel of a warm hand touching her face. She opened her eyes only to be greeted by Matthew's handsome face.
She wanted to smile at him but she couldn't. She felt guilty for ruining their moment last night. She became emotional and said something she was not supposed to say.
"Good morning, Love." Matthew softly said, greeting her with a loving smile.
Sophia could only bite her lower lip. She felt like crying. She threw a fit last night, venting her frustrations against Matthew.
But here he was, greeting her with a smile as if the arguments never happened. He even prepared breakfast in bed.
"Aren't you mad at me?" Sophia asked Matthew as she sat up, leaning her back on the headrest. She just realized her mistake.
Matthew shook his head. "I understand where you are coming from. No matter what you do, I can't bring myself to get mad at you."
"But… I had to admit… I was hurt last night."
Matthew learned from Tristan that open communication was a key to a strong relationship. So he wanted to be more open to her, hoping that Sophia would open up to him as well.
Sophia could see the sadness in Matthew's eyes. He was being honest right now.
"Why? How did I hurt you, Matt?"
Matthew raised his head, staring at her eyes intently.
"I was hurt because I feel like you are still doubting me. You don't fully trust me. Even though I've told you many times that I love you, you are still not convinced, thinking that I will break your heart in the future."
Sophia was taken aback when she heard that. She didn't know what to say. She could feel it. Matthew was indeed hurting because of her.
"I'm sorry, Matt. I didn't mean to hurt you… It's just that… I felt very jealous last night..."
Sophia lowered her head as she couldn't look straight into Matthew's eyes.
"Yuri… is your first love. She is very beautiful and smart. She is a successful doctor. She is a perfect match for you. You are both of the same age, have the same social status, and your family is very fond of her."
"I am nothing compared to her…" Sophia finally opened up to him, expressing her true feelings.
"I am afraid… I am afraid that you will leave me…"
Matthew shook his head as he lifted her chin. He wanted her to meet his gaze.
"No, Sophia! You are wrong. You are my everything! I can't lose you, Sophie, because… I love you so much! Please believe me, Sophie! I will not leave you. It's you whom I want to spend my life with…"
Matthew grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest.
"Can you feel it? The loud and rapid beating of my heart? My heart is acting like this because it's you… because you are by my side."
Sophia's tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes. She felt very touched because of Matthew's words.
"I'm so stupid for not believing in you… for not trusting you wholeheartedly. I'm sorry, Matt. I'm so sorry. Can you please give me a chance? I will make it up to you. I promise!"
Matthew smiled at her tenderly while wiping her tears.
"You don't need to ask me that."
Matthew leaned over to seal her lips. He kissed her passionately, expressing how much he loved her through this kiss. Sophia's words already washed away his pain.
