The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

When Clifford went to get the dustpan and the gloves to pick up the broken glasses on the floor, Bianca was the one who was put in the hot seat by her own parents, urging her to marry Clifford right away.

Bianca didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She thought Clifford didn't mean those words. It's just part of his act as her fake boyfriend.

But her parents were now thinking that she was the one who was playing hard to get, not wanting to settle down with anyone.

"Your boyfriend is very protective of you!" Max said, pointing out the qualities he liked about Clifford.

'Dad, if you just knew, he is only doing this to help me. He is protective of me because I saved his life.'

"I agree with your Dad!" Her mother chimed in. "Don't let him go! Grab this golden opportunity to marry a good man like Clifford!"

"Mom! Stop this. Why are you both pressuring us? We are still in the getting-to-know-each-other stage! Don't rush things. You are scaring him, don't you see that?" She scolded her parents.

"He doesn't look scared to me," Max said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

Aileen also nodded her head in agreement.

"Mom, Dad! Please behave! Let's just have a peaceful dinner. I feel like I will not be able to digest my food in my stomach if you continue acting like this."

"Alright. We are no longer pursuing this topic tonight for you to be at peace," Aileen said, reassuring her daughter.

Bianca heaved a sigh of relief. At least now, her parents would stop pressuring them.

When Clifford was done removing the broken glass, the four of them started eating dinner. Bianca's parents never mentioned marriage once again.

They just talked about other things such as knowing Sy Family, Clifford's hobby, and everything they wanted to know about him.

At the end of their meal, Bianca's mother, Aileen, asked Clifford's opinion about Bianca's dangerous job because this was their main concern as her parents.

"Clifford, what can you say about my daughter's job as bodyguard?"

Bianca's eyebrow frowned upon hearing that question from her mother. She was bringing it up again. She somehow knew what her mother was trying to do here. They just wanted her to stop working as a bodyguard and they were using Clifford to do that.

Bianca squinted her eyes at Clifford. She was giving him a warning look. Max and Aileen were also looking at Clifford, wondering what he would say to them.

"My opinion about her job…" he mumbled, rubbing his chin. He suddenly smiled when he thought about it.

"I know it's dangerous but I think it's cool. She looks fierce and very professional during her duty. Of course, I'm glad, because of her job... I met her. So overall, I like her job. And I could see that she also loves her job and she's enjoying it."

Bianca:"..."

She didn't expect that Clifford would say that. She felt touched. At least, Clifford knew how she loved her job so she's grateful that he was supporting her in front of her parents.

But unlike Bianca, her parents looked a little bit disappointed when they heard Clifford's words.

"So, are you not worried about my daughter's safety? Will you not stop her from doing this dangerous job? What if something bad happens to her?" Max burst out, feeling unhappy with Clifford's response.

But  Clifford didn't flinch with the sudden burst out of Bianca's father.

"Uncle, of course, I am worried about her safety. But since she loves her job, I don't want to stop her because I know she will be stubborn and will not listen to me. This will only result in arguments between us."

"That's the reason I hired her as my bodyguard. She doesn't need to quit her job. If she sticks by my side always, then I can protect her as well. So don't worry too much, Uncle, Auntie. I will not let anything bad happen to your daughter. This time I will make sure to protect her from any harm." Clifford said those words with so much conviction in his voice.

Max and Aileen were both satisfied with his last remarks. They could see the sincerity in his eyes. They had to admit that they liked his idea. They wanted to trust him that he would do his best to protect their daughter.

Meanwhile, Bianca was at a loss for words. Clifford was giving her one shock after another. If she didn't know that they were just faking their relationship, she would have believed him. Sad to say, that was not the case.

'Clifford… why are you doing this to me,' she subconsciously brought her hand on her chest. She could feel it~ the rapid beating of her heart.

After dinner, Bianca's father stole Clifford, talking while drinking. She could tell that her father became fond of Clifford. He looked cheerful and energetic while having a private conversation with him.

While the two men were talking, Bianca and her mother were also able to bond together, catching up. She asked Bianca more about her feelings toward Clifford. She told some truths and made up some lies.

She became so occupied by talking to her mother that they lost track of time. Before she knew it, it was already late at night and Clifford had to go home.

"Mom, I'll just check Clifford. I wonder if he has gone home already or they are still talking on the veranda."

"Ok, dear. Let me come with you. Your Dad and I also need to go home. I told him not to drink much as we are still going to travel."

As much as she wanted to let her mother and father sleepover, she was not able to prepare the other room. She made it like a stock room of her stuff. She only had one available room in her apartment right now~ her room.

When the two of them came out of her room, they saw Max assisting Clifford inside the house.

"Dad? What happened to him?" Bianca asked her father confusedly.

Max chuckled and said, "I didn't know that your boyfriend could easily get drunk. He couldn't hold his liquor. I think he can't drive now. Just let him sleep here for tonight." Max said, bringing Clifford to Bianca's room without waiting for Bianca's reply.
