Chapter 731 Girlfriend Met Childhood Sweetheart
Zhen-Zhen saw Sophia's reaction when she was checking Yuri out from head to toe. Sophia felt insecure after seeing Yuri. She had the urge to run away, knowing that the beautiful lady in front of them was Matthew's first love.
To comfort her friend, Zhen-Zhen moved closer to Sophia while holding her hand. Everyone in the hall was still waiting for Matthew to speak up.
Matthew remained standing in his spot while looking at Yuri with disbelief. He couldn't hide the surprise look on his face.
Meanwhile, Tristan recognized Yuri. She was the doctor who treated Bianca. Now, he understood why Yuri's name rang a bell to him. It turned out she was Matthew's first love.
Tristan reflexively moved his gaze to Sophia. He felt like this situation was not good. Matthew was about to introduce Sophia as his girlfriend but it seemed that Matthew's family was shipping him with Yuri.
'Oh men… you're in trouble. What are you gonna do now?' Tristan thought to himself as he drew his attention back to Matthew.
He wondered if Matthew would still feel affected by Yuri. He might not have forgotten her.
'Why do I feel like my best friend is in the same position as mine before?' Tristan shook his head helplessly.
After his long silence, Matthew finally found his voice to speak, greeting Yuri.
"Long time no see, Yuri. I'm glad you are back. How have you been?" Matthew asked her with a smile.
Yuri smiled back at Matthew. Her cheeks were still blushing from embarrassment since the members of the Wilkins Family were teasing them.
"Hi Matt… I'm so happy to see you again," Yuri shyly responded.
Maribel and others felt a little bit disappointed. They expected that Matthew would suddenly grab Yuri and hug her in his arms but he didn't do it.
He just greeted Yuri casually as if he was just talking to a friend he hadn't seen for a week. This scene was not the kind of scene they expected to see. They thought this would be a very touching reunion between the two.
On the other hand, Sophia felt a pang of jealousy deep down her heart when she saw the interaction between Matthew and Yuri. Both of them were smiling at each other.
She didn't know what to do. She wanted to leave but she couldn't move her feet. She was rooted in her spot.
She felt like she was about to cry but Sophia tried her best to hold her tears. She suddenly felt scared as if Matthew would be taken away from her.
However, before her imagination could run wild, Matthew turned around, facing Sophia and grabbing her hand.
Zhen-Zhen smiled seeing Matthew's action. She released Sophia's hand, letting Matthew pull her towards the table where his grandfather and parents were standing.
Yuri, Maribel, and the other members of the Wilkins Family were surprised when Matthew brought that young lady in front of Grandpa Solomon and his parents.
"Grandpa, Mom, Dad… I would like you to meet Sophia, my girlfriend!" Matthew mumbled enthusiastically, feeling proud.
The dining hall was engulfed with deafening silence the moment Matthew introduced Sophia to his grandfather and parents.
No one had expected that the young lady who came along with the Davis was Matthew's girlfriend. They even teased Matthew and Yuri in front of Sophia.
Now, they didn't know what to feel, knowing that Matthew already had a girlfriend. This only meant that Yuri and Matthew couldn't be together now unless he would break up with his current girlfriend.
Sophia was also quiet. She thought Matthew would change his mind after meeting his first love. But he still introduced her as his girlfriend.
The jealousy she felt a while ago suddenly disappeared because of Matthew's action. Her heart was fluttering with joy.

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa… I know you are surprised about this. I am dying to tell you about my relationship with Sophia. And this is the perfect time to introduce her to all of you."
"Today is Sophia's birthday as well! Let's celebrate her birthday!"
Matthew was very excited when he mentioned Sophia's birthday. He was so happy that Sophia would also celebrate her birthday together with his family.
He had to admit that he was surprised to see Yuri tonight. But Yuri was only part of his past. Sophia was now his present and his future.
Yuri's background might be excellent. His family was fond of her. But it didn't change the fact that he loved Sophia.
What he felt for Yuri before was just puppy love. He was too young before. He might be heartbroken when Yuri left the City of Empire but he already moved on.
Unlike Tristan, he was not the kind of person who would dwell in the past. If Tristan hadn't easily forgotten his first love, Hannah, Matthew was different from him.
The only woman in his heart right now was none other than Sophia. Yuri's presence would never affect his feelings for Sophia.
Matthew glanced at Sophia anxiously as he recalled that Sophia heard Maribel, telling them that Yuri was the love of his life and his childhood sweetheart.
'Damn! I am doomed! What if Sophia would misunderstand?' Matthew gulped hard, feeling a little bit nervous.
He didn't want Sophia to be upset with him. It took him a lot of time before Sophia opened her heart again, giving her trust to someone. He promised that he would not hurt her feelings.
Matthew noticed that Sophia was very silent. Now, he was in a panicking mode.
'Damn! This is Maribel's fault! Why did she have to say those words!'
Matthew turned to his younger sister, giving her a cold stare. 'I should talk to this little punk later!'
Meanwhile, Grandpa Solomon finally spoke up, greeting Sophia. He also felt embarrassed for teasing his grandson with another woman in front of his girlfriend.
He had no idea that Matthew had a girlfriend. 'Hmm, this punk! It's his fault for being secretive. I hope his girlfriend will not hate us for pairing Matthew up with Yuri. I feel so guilty.'
