Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 43

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'. 

"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!
