Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 107: Waiting for him



Chapter 107: Waiting for him

Sophia's POV:

I went home still waiting for his call. I've been trying to call him but his phone was still out of range.

After having dinner, I decided to wait for him in the living room. I opened the DVD player and chose

some random movies to watch while waiting for him. But since my mind is in turmoil, I couldn't

concentrate on the film. I don't understand what they were saying. I don't even know the title and the

name of the characters or should I say I have already heard them, but my mind couldn't remember

even one of their names.

I sighed, leaned back against the couch and checked my phone for I don't know how many times since

this afternoon. But still... there is no message on the screen. I swear if my phone could just talk, she

would yell at me... "Hey! Don't you know I'm fucking tired? You always check me every single minute?"

I shook my head and couldn't help smiling, then turned to the TV screen.

"Why can't he call me or send me even a single message?" I asked out loud, frustrated while watching

one of the female characters crying on TV. What the hell! Why is she crying?

('Maybe it's because he's busy.') One of the girls answered the crying lady.

('Busy? Is he that busy that he can't even call me?') The crying lady snapped to her friend or maybe a

sister or maybe...whatever!

"Exactly my point!" I exclaimed, but my eyebrows furrowed instantly when I realized they had the same

situation as mine. Tsk.Tsk. who would have thought?

In the next few seconds, my attention finally immersed in their conversation, so I didn't notice that

someone entered the living room and walked over to where I sit. I continued to become oblivious until

she speaks...

"Aren't you tired of the happenings this whole day---"

"Huh!"

A loud gasp escaped my throat as I turned around in shock. I saw Nanay Emily standing behind the

couch having mixed of a sweet and apologizing smile on her lips.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were too focused on the screen. I thought you had already noticed

me."

I returned her smile, scratching the back of my neck as I shrugged.

"Uhm...I'm waiting for my husband."

"Hmm..." She said nodding. "Why don't you call him so you will know when he will arrive." She

occupied the seat next to me.

I sighed. "Honestly, I've been trying to call him since this afternoon but he's out of range. I went to his

office to bring him lunch but he wasn't there!"

"But I remembered that he said they had a board meeting, so where could he possibly be?"

"Well, Denise said Chloe called him this morning. She said something came up and she needs my

husband's arms to hug her! So this kind and caring husband of mine immediately put on his shiny

shoes including his elegant coat, ran to his expensive car and drove fast to where this annoying

woman!" I finished my sentence with an 'argh', and with clenched jaws.

"Did he really do those things?" My head snapped towards her, biting my lips. "And wait, who is Chloe?

Is she Daniel's other woman?"

"No, Nanay Emily, I was just exaggerating. And as for your last question, my answer is still no. Chloe

Enriquez is just his business partner, nothing more, nothing less!"

Huh! I will never let her be my husband's, another woman! To hell with her!

"Ohh...alright." She shrugged. "So nothing to worry about if she's just his business partner."

"Yeah, you're right," I exclaimed. "She's just Daniel's business partner and she has nothing to worry

about if she stays in that position!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, apart from being his partner, she also happened to be his ex-girlfriend... the bitch ex-girlfriend

who still flaunting herself in front of him as if Daniel will still bite her neck and leave some love bites,

forgodsake!"

I didn't hear anything from her and when I glanced her, I saw a twisted smile playing on her lips.

"You're jealous of her, aren't you?"

"Huh? N-No, of course not! Why should I feel jealous in the first place? Daniel is my husband and she

is just nothing but an ex-girlfriend!"

"Tsk.tsk.tsk. You're not good at lying, Sophia." Then she laughed at me.

"Nanay Emily..."

"Come on, there's no problem in admitting that you're jealous sometimes."

"But that's not really the problem, Nanay Emily, " I said taking a deep breath. "Fine, I also feel jealous

and I can't help it, I mean, who wouldn't? She's prettier than me."

"Ohh... that's not true! No amount of physical beauty will ever be as valuable as a beautiful heart,

Sophia. And beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It's about having a pretty mind, pretty heart and a

pretty soul. But then you have always an advantage." My eyebrows knitted in confusion. "Daniel loves

you and you know it, right?"

"I know." I nodded. "But I'm starting to get confused. He's been acting strange lately and when I tried to

talk about our situation, he suddenly pushed the subject aside. It's as if he was intentionally refusing to

talk about it and that makes me more frustrated, Nanay Emily, just like now! I've been trying to call him

and I've been waiting for his call but he seemed so busy that he had already forgotten that he had a

wife named Sophia Yzabelle Kelley!"

"Maybe he has a lot on his plate lately, just try talking to him again and understand what his reasons

are. Because trust me, Anak, Daniel loves you. Your husband loves you so much and I'm sure the

pressure has gone double especially now that he's planning something for----"

"He's planning something for what?" I raised my eyebrow and stared at her when she stopped. "What

is he planning, Nanay Emily?" I asked in confusion.

"O-Ohh... uhmm... don't mind what I said, Anak! You know... your Nanay Emily is getting old and I

haven't noticed that I'm babbling things that are sometimes out of the topic, yeah! That's it! Anyway, I

have to go to my room before your Tatay Berto wakes up." She got up immediately and turned to the

stairs.

"Huh?" My mouth hung in midair.

"I'm going to sleep now. Good night, Anak."

What's going on with her?

"And oh... Sophia." She stopped and called me when she was about to take the first step. "I think you

should just wait for your husband in your room so you could also take a rest. I'm sure he will call when

he's finally free from work, so please don't overstress yourself and get some rest now."

"Yes, Nanay---" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

That's it. She didn't even wait for me to complete my sentence. I just sighed and nodded on her back

as I watched her climb the stairs.

"What was that? What happened to her?" I asked laughing at myself.

I know she has something to say, but then she stopped suddenly in the middle of her sentence as if

she realized that she shouldn't have said those words or she's not allowed to say anything.

She was saying that Daniel is maybe planning something. But what is it? Are they hiding something

from me? What is he planning to do? Is it a secret, a surprise or something related to his work?

"Whew! Nanay Emily, you just made my head suffer more, argh!" I leaned back and was about to close

my eyes when I noticed the TV screen. "Oh, it's already over? Why does it seem so fast?" I didn't even

get the name of the male lead or the end of the story.

After removing the disc from the player and putting it back from where I had taken it from earlier, I

remained seated in the living room. I opened the YouTube app on my phone and looked for some

dance music that will keep my mind busy while still waiting for Daniel.

A few minutes passed and it has now become hours...

1:00 am

1:30 am

2:00 am

2:30 am

My eyes are now dropping. I wish I have toothpicks, no, I wish I could use toothpicks to put into my

eyes so I could prevent them from closing... but no.
