Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 116: The special surprise

My mouth left open in mid-air while my eyes moved from him to Daniel and back to him.

"And you didn't tell me."

"Because that's what the word 'secret' means. If I told you about it before, then it wouldn't be a secret

anymore."

"Wow! Nice!"

Everyone laughed at my reaction. I really love Craig... as in... really.

Rian was also smiling awkwardly when I turned to her.

"So... your friend's surprise engagement, huh?"

"Yup. I told you it's a surprise. Surprise!" And she really screamed the last word with her hands in the

air.

I just shake my head and return her smile when she hugs me.

"Ahh... Sis, blame the man behind you. He's the boss and the real mastermind behind all this."

I couldn't help laughing when I heard Daniel's carefree laughter behind me. It made me silently scream

in excitement and jump in such joy at that moment.

And when everyone returned to their position and back to the previous conversation, knots started to

form inside my stomach.

"I have a very special surprise for you, sweetheart, but first I want you to listen to me, okay?"

"O-Okay." I nodded confused.

He pulled me to the sitting area and sat me down while taking something behind the sofa... a

microphone stand and a guitar.

"Hey, what's that for? What are you doing?"

"Shhh... just sit down."

He motioned me to stay seated before pulling on the guitar string.

"I am a fan of music and I really wanted to learn how to use musical instruments like guitar, but I think it

takes a talented person like you and Rian to memorize the notes and everything related in just a short

period of time. But there I tried so, please have patience with your husband as this is my first time

doing it."

The crease in my forehead slowly fades and is replaced by a light chuckle when I heard his mom's

voice as she spoke to his dad a few inches behind my back.

"Oh, my God! I didn't know our son could sing, honey."

"Don't worry, honey, I don't know it either. It's also the first time I've seen him holding a guitar and a

microphone."

"Have I told you lately that I love you...?"

"Ohh...!" Everyone cheered behind me but I remained calm. Yes, I remained calm on the outside even

though I became almost deaf from the loud hammering of my chest.

That was just the first line but I don't know how many times I gulp to control myself from running

towards him. He doesn't know how handsome he is and, of course, I have no plan on telling him

because I'm sure he will only have a hydrocephalus tonight...(if you know what I mean).

"Have I told you there's no one else above you?"

'No, you haven't said that yet.'

"You fill my heart with gladness, you take away all my sadness. Ease my troubles that's what you do."

The moment he finished singing, I lost of words... which was the exact opposite reaction of all the

people in the venue. They gave him a round of applause while I remained on my seat, watching him as

he put down the guitar.

"Sophia..." I gulped, hearing how sexy my name is when he called me. "Before we start the evening

and everything that is going to happen all night, I just want you to listen to these 7 words that I have

prepared since I came back from Italy..."

He stared at me and I do the same. I don't know how many butterflies danced in my stomach when

everyone turns to quiet. I thank God for putting my heart in my ribcage, because if not, I'm sure it has

already jumped out and rolled on the floor with so much excitement.

"I'm sorry, thank you and I love you. First of all, I wanna say sorry. I know I've already said my

apologies while we were in Italy, but I want to ask your forgiveness again in front of your family and

mine. I've been an asshole to you since day one and a total jerk when we met. I'm so sorry for the

wrong words I said and for the tears you shed. I can't promise not to make you cry again, but I'll make

sure that when it happens, it will be for joy and love and not for pain."

He paused and took a step forward towards my seat.

"Thank you. Thank you for the braveness and intelligence you have shown me. Thank you for staying

in this marriage despite everything that I've done and everything that I've said. For being my eye-

opener and of course for teaching me how to love and appreciate what I have."

This time he took my hand and even though I felt like drowning in the mixed emotions he's giving me

right now, I got up and walked with him to where he was standing earlier.

"I love you. I love you, my Sophia Yzabelle Del Mundo-Kelley. I don't know exactly when I started to

love you, maybe from the day we got married or when I kissed you for the first kiss or maybe when you

pushed me to the swimming pool and screaming pervert on my face as you went back to the kitchen

and laughed carefree at me...I don't know. All I know now is that I love you and I promise to take care

of you but before that..."

"Huh!" I couldn't help the loud gasp that escaped my mouth when he bent on his knees. Is this really

happening?

"Sweetheart, we didn't start as lovers when we got married and we're not even friends then. We never

had a romantic date. We started everything in an agreement, a deal and a contract, so this time, I want

to make everything right. I want us to start anew with one solid contract, a contract of forever and a

lifetime. But you know I can't do that without your permission..." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

I gulped as he took a purple velvet box out of his suit pocket. My hand automatically covered my mouth

when he opened it and a yellow gold heart design diamond ring shone not only in my eyes but for

everyone who watches us.

"Sweetheart, will you allow me to be your date on every valentines day every year? Will you allow me

to be your partner, your lover and your husband every day to forever? Sophia Yzabelle Del Mundo, will

you marry me again? This time is for real... will you be my wife---hpp!"

Guess what?

He didn't get a chance or I should I say I didn't give a chance to finish what he was saying as I grabbed

him by the collar and kissed him deeply in front of everyone. Do you want to know why I did it? Haisst!

It's because he's taking too long to ask me. He didn't know how much I wanted to pull him and kiss him

deeply since he knelt in front of me.

"Yes, I will marry you, Mr. Kelley!" I said grinning widely.

"Ohh... why didn't you let me finish my question?"

"Because you're taking so long to ask me the final question!" Loud chuckles rang all over the venue. I

smiled, cupping his left cheek. "I love you too, Daniel Kelley and I will marry you, but just make sure to

keep your promise, that you will be my date every valentines day!"

He took my hand, showing me his most handsome smile that almost took my breath away...then he slid

the ring on my finger.

'Ohh... dearest God!' I muttered silently.
