Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 35: I'm sorry

Daniel's POV:

The moment my jet landed in Amador, I began to dial Sophia's number but it's still out of range.

We searched the small city and tried to check all the people on the road, while silently hoping she's not

one of them.

We also checked almost all the hotel around the city but there is no Sophia Kelley checked in at their

hotels.

Roger, my pilot tried to call some airports near the city to confirm if Sophia had a flight with one of

them, but still there was no Sophia Kelley listed on their records.

"Where are you, Sophia?" I asked gripping my phone.

I feel worried and frustrated every time passed and I still couldn't see her.

We were searching the last town when I received a call from Nanay Emily.

"Nanay Emily."

"Anak, where are you?" She asked on the other line.

"I'm in Amador, I'm still searching for Sophia, why?"

"No need, Anak she's already here."

I frowned. "What do you mean she's already there?"

"She just came home a few minutes ago."

A sight of relief instantly left my throat when I heard that she's safe but I clenched when jaws when a

sudden question came across my head. How did she get home when there's no Sophia Kelley listed in

all Los Angeles flights?

"Thank you, Nanay Emily." I said before ending the call. "Roger let's go!"

"Where to, Sir?" He asked confused.

"Let's go back to Los Angeles."

"But how about our searching for your wife---"

"No need, she's now at home! Let's go, my wife and I will need to talk!"

"Yes, Sir."

.................................

Sophia's POV:

I wiped my tears when I heard Nanay Emily's voice outside my room.

"Come in, Nanay Emily."

She has a tray full of snacks and a glass of Apple juice when she entered my room. She put it on top of

the bedside table before she takes a seat on the edge of my bed.

"Are you okay?" She asked me with concern written on her eyes.

I nodded and gave her an unemotional smile.

"What happened to you in Amador and where were you during the storm? We were so worried when

we couldn't call you, Anak."

"I'm sorry, Nanay if I made you worried." I sighed and looked down on my fingers.

"Your husband was also worried when he found out that you were in Amador during the storm,

especially when we couldn't call you for almost a week."

"He was worried about me?" I asked chuckling. "Or he was just worried about me because he's afraid

that when something bad happens to me, his Mom would blame him?"

She sighed when I looked at her.

I shook my head as I chuckled sarcastically.

"See? I was right." I took the tray from the bedside table and drink my apple juice. "I'm sorry again,

Nanay Emily for making you worried. I'll promise not to do it again. I was about to go back when they

cancelled our flights so I have no choice but to wait for the storm to stop."

"It's okay, what matters the most is that you're safe and you're finally home. Anyway, your husband is in

Amador City right now."

"But what is he doing there?" I asked frowning.

"He's searching for you, Anak."

"And why would he do that?"

"Because he's concerned and worried about you."

"Nanay..."

"Sometimes, what your mouth says is different from how your heart feels."

No matter how I wanted to explain that I don't believe in that saying, but I remained silent and just listen

to him. I sighed when she finally outside.

I decided to call Craig when I was left alone. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He answered it on the first ring.

"Forgodsake! Sophia, your alive!"

I cringed when he screamed on the other line.

"What the hell? Of course, I'm alive! What are you talking about?"

"Oh, my God Sophia, how are you? Didn't you know how worried I was when your husband called me

last week, forgodsake!"

"And why did he call you?"

"Because they can't reach you, well, we can't reach you! What happened to you?"

I sighed and explain to him what had happened and about seeing my mother again.

"Oh, my gosh! Are you sure she's your mother?"

I can't help but to laugh at his question.

"What kind of question is that, Craig?"

"Aren't you just imagining things?"

"Of course, I'm sure of what I saw!"

"Did you talk to her?"

"No, she's no longer my mother, Craig. My mom died 16 years ago."

"Sophia---"

"Let's not talk about her, please.?"

"Okay." I heard him sighed. "Sophia, you know I'm always here for you, right?"

I bite my lips and nodded, but I realized he can't see it. "Yes, I know and I wanna say thank you for that,

for being always being there for me."

"Your welcome, you know I will always be here for you."

We became silent for a moment.

"Craig, can you send here my piano?"

"Why?"

"Why, because I want to play. I missed playing my piano." I shrugged.

"Sophia, tell me the truth, are you really okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay why did you ask?"

"Because I've known you for years and every time you're playing your piano, I know something's

bothering you."

I bite my lips and make my voice sounds jolly. "I okay, Craig. Don't worry about me, I just miss playing

the piano, that's all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, by the way, I'll will ask Niko to get the piano there." I have to change the topic.

"Ohh..are you referring to your yummy bodyguard?"

I chuckled at his silly question.

"Yes, the one and only." I replied shaking my head.

"Okay, send him today and I will also send your piano right away!"

"Okay fine, I'll tell him now, thank you."

I'm still laughing when I ended the call.

When I felt bored inside, I decided to go out my room and bring the tray to the kitchen.

..........................................

I was about to enter the kitchen when the front door burst open and the furious face of Daniel came to

my view.

I tried to ignore him and continued to walk towards the kitchen when I heard his voice boomed all over

the living room.

"Sophia!"

I took a deep breath and put the tray on the table before I decided to turn to him. But I was surprised

when he's now a few steps away from me.

"We need to talk!" He said through gritted teeth.

And because I was not in the mood to fight back or to answered back with a snappy question, I just

nodded and followed him inside of his favorite room when he wants to talk to me. His study room.

"What the hell were you thinking of going to Amador?" He asked me shouting the moment I closed the

door behind me. "Didn't I tell you not to go there and let me donate for the typhoon victims?"

His raging eyes we're looking at me as he brushed his hair with his fingers.

"And you fucking went there the same day I left?"

He continued to lash at me with the same tone level, but I remained quiet and just listening to him. It's

not because I'm used to this but because I'm tired of explaining and elaborating things that I knew had

nothing to do with him.

"What if something bad happened to you? How would I explain that to my Mom?"

I looked at him open-mouthed. I was right. He was not worried about me, he was just worried that his

mom and his family would blame him if there's something happened to me. Well, what would I expect?

"You didn't even think of the people who were so much worried about you----"

"I'm sorry." I said looking straight into his eyes.

"What did you say?" He asked me furrowing his eyebrows.

"I said I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making the people inside of this house worried about me."

He frowned and then walked towards me. He put his palm on my forehead, maybe he's just checking if

I have a fever for suddenly saying 'sorry'.

I sighed and looked at him again.

"And I'm sorry for not listening to you and continued to go there. And by the way, you don't have to

worry anymore about your mom blaming you, because there's nothing bad happened to me."

He didn't utter a word, he just keep on staring at me as if I am an alien in front of him. I know he was a

bit shocked based on his reaction.

"Do we have anything else to talk about?" I sighed when he didn't answer, but when I was about to take

a step, he grabbed my arm and spin me around.

"What happened to you in Amador?"

I removed his hand. "I told you there's nothing bad happened to me." But his frown just got deeper.

"Excuse me, I have to go, I'm still waiting for my assistant's call.

If I was just in the mood when he asked about what happened to me in Amador, maybe I would give

him my snappy comeback... 'why do you care?'... 'None of your business!'... 'Can you just mind your

own fucking business?'...

Seeing my mother again after 16 years brought me so much memories of my childhood... that

supposed to be happy, memorable and had a complete family. But everything has changed since she

left us and when she left me.
