Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 43: The party

Wow! Am I seeing a Goddess?"

"Andrew." I smiled at him when I saw him walking towards me.

I have just arrived at the parking lot of Kelley's Mansion.

"Oops! What a nice car! You don't like purple too much, do you?" He chuckled while shaking his head.

"Yeah, I do, but about this car, you just better ask your friend and not me."

I shrugged and leave him speechless in the parking lot.

I immediately saw Rian and Alex as I entered the house. Rian is playing with Dino while Alex is

standing behind her with his hand on her round belly.

"Aunt Belle!" A wide smile crept on my lips when Dino saw me approaching. He run towards me and

hugged my waist.

"Hi, did you miss, Auntie?" I asked kissing both of his cheeks.

"Yes, Aunt Belle." He said giggling and took my hand as we walked towards his parents' seats.

"Hi, Belle, why are you alone? Where's my big brother?" Rian asked as we hugged each other.

"Maybe he's still in the office, " I said giving her an awkward smile.

These past few days, I've noticed that Daniel seems to have changed the way he treats me. In fact, I

really can't remember when he started talking to me nicely without raising his voice or even throwing

unnerving insults.

"Hi, kids, how are you?"

We all turned to my parents-in-law when they suddenly came yo our view. We all greeted and

congratulated them their long and going strong relationship.

"Thank you, kids, you know we can't reach this stage without you." Mom said hugging us one by one.

"By the way, where is Daniel, the party is about to start but he's still not coming?" She looked at me but

I was saved by the bell when Andrew answered behind me.

"Aunt Sonia, he is still in a meeting with the company's new partners."

"Oh, my God, honey." She sighed gazing up at her husband. "Why does he always put business first

before family? What if his wife get pregnant?"

My eyes widened with her question.

"What if they're going to have a baby, how can he----"

I silently thank God when she didn't finish her question as Andrew suddenly choked on his drinks

behind me.

"Oops! I'm sorry." He said moving his eyes at us one by one.

"Why Andrew, do you have a problem if Sophia gets pregnant with my son?"

I can feel my face turned into a thousand shades of tomato when all their eyes turned to me.

"Of course, not Auntie. I am actually excited to be a Godfather when that happens."

For heaven sake, how I wish the ground to open up and swallow me whole.

The awkward conversation continued until it's time to start the party. Mom took Craig and Gavin to

become the host of the party.

We were seated at the same table as my parents-in-law and there's a vacant seat next to me for my

husband that haven't arrived yet.

"You're so beautiful tonight, sweety."

"Thank you, Mom." I said smiling at my mother-in-law sitting on my left side.

"How are you and my son, does he treat you well?

I bite my lips before nodding at her. Maybe if she had asked me then, surely my answer would have

been no, but since I've noticed how much Daniel's treatment of me has changed these past few days, I

can say 'yes he's treating me well'. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"I'm sorry, guys I'm late."

My breath hitched when I heard his voice behind me. I formed my fists under the table as my heart

began to beat faster inside my chest.

-'Forgodsake! Since when does his voice affect me?'- I asked myself while taking a deep breath.

I heard him greet his parents, but I tried not to look in his direction and pretended to be busy reading

recent messages on my phone.

I felt him sit next to me but I still pretended I didn't notice him, until he suddenly took my phone.

"Why did you----"

I didn't finish my question when my lips were met with a warm, passionate kiss that made my heart

almost jumped out of my chest.

We heard gasps from people around the table and when I tried to push him, but he just cupped my

cheeks and deepened the kiss.

"Ahem! Big brother, in case you forgot there's a kid here." Rian said as she covers her son's eyes.

I glared at him when he finally let me go.

"Ohh... Son, are you now falling in love with your wife?" We both turned at the same time to his father

who had a teasing smile on his lips.

And that's the question that made my breath stuck inside my throat. My stomach was churning as I

waited for his answer, but seconds have passed and we heard nothing from him.

I tried to ignore the slight disappointment inside and took the glass of wine in front of me.

-'Gosh! Sophia, why are you feeling disappointed? So what, if he didn't answer the question?

Forgodsake, you need to fix yourself! Don't tell me you're starting to have feelings for him?'-

And along with that question, I heard Craig's voice at the same time...

"Ladies and gentlemen, may we call on the stage the lovely lady who's sitting next to our celebrants to

sing the couple's team song... Sophia!

My eyes widened and I accidentally spit out the wine from my mouth when I heard my name being

mentioned.

-'Holy Christ! When did I say I will sing tonight?'-

"Are you okay?" Daniel asked as he immediately wiped my lips with the table napkin.

But I ignored him when I saw Alex and Rian grinning widely at me.

"Go, Belle." I raised my eyebrow when they spoke in unison.

"Go, Aunt Belle." Dino said clapping his hands.

I just smiled at them before I stood up and walked towards the stage.

-'Whew! Can I kill a pregnant woman and two gays at the same time tonight?'-

I muttered when Gavin and Craig kissed my cheeks and both said good luck as they gave me the

microphone on the stage.

"Remind me to kill you guys after this party!" I glared at them before walking to the center of the stage.

**Through the years you've never let me down, you turned my life around, the sweetest days I've

found, I've found with you... Through the years I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made,

and I'm so glad I've stayed right here with you, through the years...**

I received a round of applause after I sang.

I was about to go down the stage when a man in a dark blue suit run towards me and offered his hand.

"Let me help you, Miss Sophia."

Because I was surprised and wasn't expecting his action, I just stood there staring at his hand for a few

seconds.

"Thank you----"

"She doesn't need your help, cousin."

My eyebrows wrinkled when we saw Daniel down the stage. Cousin? I glanced back at the man who

offered his hand and back to the serious face of my husband.

"It's okay, cousin, I just love helping a lovely lady like her." the man smirked.

I can't help not to raise my eyebrow. -'Tsk.tsk. A certain line of a womanizer.'-

"Yes, she's indeed a lovely lady but I can assure you she doesn't need help your help, Mike." He

paused and returned the smirk to his cousin. "Because I can do that to my wife." He said emphasizing

the last word.

But the man didn't take his words seriously and just laughed at him.

"You're kidding? How can you call someone your wife if you're not married yet?"

My breath hitched when I saw the glint of anger in his both eyes, and everyone was surprised at his

next move.

He just took two long strides towards me to cup my cheeks and sealed my lips with a deep and

demanding kiss that shows jealousy and possession.

"Now tell me, cousin, do you believe me now that she's my wife?" He asked glaring at him.

"Hey, is everything okay here, boys?"

I sighed inwardly when Dad and Mom came to our view.

"Of course, Mom." Daniel answered smiling before he looked back at his cousin. "My cousin couldn't

believe that I was already married, so I showed him. I kissed my wife for him to believe me." He

shrugged and pulled me to him.

"Okay, that's enough. All eyes are now on you, kids so better go back to your seats." Dad said studying

his son and his nephew's expression.

"I'm sorry, Dad." I bite my bottom lip and smiled awkwardly to them.

He shook his head and patted my shoulder. "Why are you saying sorry, Sophie? It's not your fault to be

beautiful tonight, your husband is just jealous." He winked at me.

"Dad!" Daniel exclaimed.

"What? I was just telling my observation." Dad said shrugging his shoulders.

"Tss!"

The only word I heard from him before he pulled my hand back to our seats.

"Can I now get my phone back?" I asked when were seated.

"No." He frowned.

I took a deep breath. I guess I have no choice.

"Please, sweetheart?" His eyes widened when I put my hand on his chest and smiled at him sweetly.

He straightened his seat. "Do you want me to return your phone?"

I nodded.

"Then, kiss me." And he pointed his lips that made me huffed and removed my hand from holding him.

"Haha... no way!" I crossed my eyes over my chest.

He chuckled causing everyone to focus their attention on us, but we remained unaware of their stares.

"Okay." He shrugged. "No kiss, no phone."

I just rolled my eyes.

-'Hmmph! I'm sure you'll return it to me later. Anyway, I'm not waiting for any important calls tonight so

I'll just wait for it.'-
