Matthew's mood changed after knowing Sophia would study abroad for her Master's Degree. He felt like history was repeating itself.
Yuri left Matthew for her studies. And now Sophia would also leave to pursue her Master's Degree.
He was also upset because Sophia didn't mention anything to him. Zhen-Zhen seemed to know about this news first.
The five couples continued their bond until 5:00 pm. They left so that Tristan and Zhen-Zhen would be able to rest. The twins were also sleeping in their nursery room.
Matthew and Sophia were the ones who left last as Matthew continued talking with Tristan while Sophia stayed with Zhen-Zhen. Matthew and Tristan dropped by the nursery room first, checking the twins. While they were watching the sleeping figures of the two babies, Tristan confronted him as he noticed his silence.
"Are you okay? Why do you look so troubled? Is it because of Sophia?" Tristan asked him.
Matthew heaved a deep sigh. "I think I'm just afraid to lose her."
Tristan let out a soft chuckle, patting Matthew's shoulder. "Don't overthink. She will go abroad to study, not leave you. You are not going to lose her."
"But I don't think I can bear to be separated from her for two years." Matthew began to share his feelings with Tristan.
"I don't want her to leave… but I know this is her dream. She's still young so I don't think she would want to settle down already. She still has a lot of things she wants to do… enjoying her life." Matthew said with a sullen expression on his face.
Tristan looked at his best friend helplessly. Matthew was a good adviser when it came to love and relationships. But now that he experienced this kind of trial, he seemed not to know what he should do.
"Just tell her what you feel. Can't you be honest with her? Just talk to her," Tristan suggested.
"Then if you want to be with her then do it. I can hire a new assistant. I don't need you here anymore," Tristan said jokingly. But he meant it. If his best friend wanted to follow Sophia abroad, then he would support him.
"But will I look like a clingy boyfriend? She also needs freedom. I can't follow her around," Matthew said, opposing Tristan's idea.
"Of course not! If I were you I would always follow my woman."
Matthew could only shake his head.
"Go now. Think about it. You have to discuss this with her."
Matthew said goodbye to Tristan. They left the nursery room and searched for Sophia and Zhen-Zhen. They found their women on the balcony.
"Here they are. Go home now with your boyfriend," Zhen-Zhen said teasingly.
Sophia just smiled faintly before hugging Zhen-Zhen. The couple said goodbye to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
While they were traveling back to Sophia's place, Matthew was unusually quiet. Sophia noticed it. She wondered if he was upset with her.
Until they reached Sophia's apartment, Matthew didn't say a word about her scholarship abroad.
"Matt, go inside first. Don't come home yet," Sophia softly said, inviting Matthew inside her apartment.
Matthew concealed his unhappiness by smiling at Sophia. He nodded at her, following Sophia inside.
"Are you tired?" Sophia asked him when they sat down on the sofa.
"Just a little. But I'm fine."
Sophia placed her palm over his forehead to check whether he was sick or not. Fortunately, Matthew's temperature was normal. But his mood was a little bit down.
"Is there something wrong, Love? Are you upset with me or something?" Sophia was now confronting him.
But Matthew still couldn't bring the topic up with Sophia. He didn't want to look like a selfish and clingy boyfriend so he tried to endure it.
"No, I'm not," he lied.
Sophia just eyed him suspiciously. Matthew was stubborn today as he remained tight-lipped.
'Hmm, let me tease this guy. If I did something that upset him, I think I have a way to appease him.'
With that thought in mind, Sophia's lips curled up into a mischievous smile. She stood up and moved in front of Matthew. He gazed up with a questioning look in his eyes.
The next thing she did was to climb on his lap, straddling him on that sofa. Then she anchored her arms around his neck, leaning forward to kiss him.
Matthew was caught by surprise. He just stayed still, blinking his eyes several times as he tried to absorb what was happening.
Sophia's lips moved in teasing strokes, tempting Matthew to respond. Later on, Matthew held her waist while supporting her back using his arms. Then he closed his eyes, savoring the deep passionate kiss.
With this kiss, Matthew had forgotten all the unhappiness he felt a while ago, including his worries. All he cared about right now was Sophia and their connected lips.
His mouth found its way instinctively to hers, nudging his tongue against her lips. Sophia gave him access when she parted her lips, allowing Matthew to explore her mouth.
Their tongues met each other and danced together in a sensuous movement. Matthew was drowning in the sweetness of this kiss. Sophia was responding aggressively to his kiss.
His hand that was supporting her back moved up to her nape, pulling her head closer to his as he deepened the kiss further. He couldn't get enough of her. He just wanted to devour her and feast on her soft lips.
His thing began to get hard as Sophia began grinding her hips on top of him. Damn! She just awakened his flaming desire on her.
With his heart pounding crazily inside his chest, Matthew's hand began to roam around her sensitive parts. Kissing her hungrily, his hand cupped her right breast, kneading it through her blouse.
Sophia moaned in between their kisses. But before she could lose herself in this heat of passion, Sophia caught his hand and broke the kiss, making Matthew groan inwardly.
"If you want us to continue, you should answer me first. What's troubling you? Why are you not in the mood this afternoon?"
Matthew:"..."
'Is she serious? 'Sophie… What a tease?!'
