Chapter 201
Numerous jealous looks were shot in Sophia's way.
Sophia felt overwhelmed.
She stood there, unsure how to react.
Just then, Amelia strolled over. "What's up, thrilled? Check out this gift from William. You totally deserve it."
Amelia hugged Sophia gently, her face glowing with a warm smile.
Feeling Amelia's embrace, Sophia managed a smile.
She couldn't afford any slip-ups on such an important day.
She couldn't spoil Safe's celebration.
With her trademark smile, Sophia gazed lovingly at William. "Thanks, babe."
She leaned in and planted a kiss.
After a quick peck, William put his arm around Sophia's waist and deepened the kiss.
As the banquet moved to the interview portion, Sophia and William changed outfits and appeared on camera.
The interview questions had all been prearranged.
Sophia just had to stick to the scripted responses.
But today, the reporter seemed unusually persistent. "Can we play a quick game to test you two?"
This wasn't part of the plan.
Sophia was about to decline.
Her head was spinning, and she didn't want to deal with anything right now.
But before Sophia could refuse, William eagerly agreed. "Sure."
"Great, thanks for being game. I'm new to this and excited to interview you both. So, blindfold yourselves, then find each other's hands."
Upon hearing the instructions, William's expression darkened. "Let my wife touch another guy's hand?"
The tension in the air was palpable.
The reporter recoiled and quickly shook his head. "Or, how about guessing instead?"
"I touch another woman's hand?"
Things were getting worse.
The reporter was close to tears, regretting the impromptu change in the interview.
But it was live TV, so they had to push through.
The atmosphere in the venue turned awkward.
While the live studio buzzed with chatter.
[Protective hubby, so cool.]
William: [No touching other people.]
[A strong show of love, possessive and in charge. Love it.]
Sophia glanced up and saw possessive comments scrolling by.
She felt helpless and even more stressed.
When the reporter was at a loss, the executive producer hurried over. "Let's try a different game. You can wear gloves while touching."
"Nope."
William's refusal was resolute.
The executive producer was speechless.
This was a problem.
William was being stubborn.
How could they move forward like this?
Seeing the executive producer and the reporter sweating, Sophia suggested, "How about a picture-guessing game?"
The reporter nodded gratefully, "Sure, I'll set it up."
The executive producer was on the brink of a breakdown.
A minute later, the executive producer brought out several pictures.
The reporter breathed a sigh of relief. "Now, Mrs. Johnson, guess which one shows Mr. Johnson's eyes?"
An iPad displayed nine eye photos.
William glanced casually at them.
He couldn't even recognize his own eyes.
But Sophia immediately pointed to the top-left photo. "Is it this one?"
The reporter was stunned. "Correct! You really know Mr. Johnson well."
The reporter was taken aback, as was William.
William turned to Sophia. "Did you guess or did you know?"
"Of course, I guessed."
Sophia smiled faintly, her eyes fixed on the photo.
She saw that eye every day, making it unmistakable.
More comments poured in, with many praising Sophia.
William grinned at the comments.
Next, the reporter had Sophia guess other parts of William's body.
Without fail, Sophia got each one right.
Sophia always managed to pick out William's features from similar photos.
William's smile froze, his expression softening.
He affectionately put his arm around Sophia's waist, his gaze locked on her.
In front of the camera, the couple openly showed their affection, holding nothing back.
Aiden listened to the crowd's compliments, then looked down at Safe in the stroller.
His emotions were mixed.
Safe ate and slept, then slept and ate.
Now awake, his tiny fists clenched, looking so cute that anyone would melt.
Would Sophia really leave?
The interview went on.
Seeing Sophia willing to cooperate, the reporter, feeling bold, even asked them to kiss on camera.
Sophia hesitated, unsure how to respond, when William's lips met hers.
Their kiss was deep, their breaths mingling.
Sophia felt her heart race.
She sensed a cold stare.
Glancing through the crowd, Sophia caught Aiden's warning gaze.
Safe, Yara, the café.
These were Sophia's vulnerabilities.
A chill spread from her heart.
Sophia shuddered, sweat beading on her forehead.
As William kissed her passionately, Sophia drifted, frowning. But when he felt her tremble, his expression changed.
Was she having an episode?
William bent down, lifted Sophia, and announced, "My wife isn't feeling well. The interview's over."
With that, he swiftly departed.
The reporter and others stood there, bewildered by the sudden end.
[Interview cut short due to wife's discomfort. So commanding.]
William's actions earned praise from many online users.
Watching them leave, Aiden sighed with a mix of emotions.
The Johnson Group's stocks soared.
Not only that, products linked to the company sold out.
This was the power of the internet. With the surge in traffic, William and Sophia had become synonymous with love, capturing the hearts of many online users.
At that moment, Sophia was unaware of it all.
They had reached the flower room.
"What are you doing..."
Before Sophia could finish, William's lips silenced her.
His kiss was intense, leaving Sophia speechless.
Meanwhile, William's knee pressed between Sophia's legs, gently rubbing against her through her underwear.
Sophia's legs wrapped around William's knee, their bodies moving in sync, her desire evident as she moaned.
