Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 120: Epilogue--Part One

Daniel's POV:

Two months later...

**Sweetheart, I got home early today. I want to cook your favorite dish...so, please be at home before

7:00 pm... I love you...

And don't forget to buy my favorite ice cream...thanks**

A smile formed on my lips after reading my wife's message. I check the time from my wristwatch. It's

only 3:30 pm and I still have 30 minutes left before my last meeting this afternoon so, I decided to dial

her number.

I took a deep breath when she answered the call after the second ring. I was about to greet her but she

beat me.

"Hello, my handsome husband."

I couldn't help grinning when I heard her giggle on the other line. It sounds like music to my ears.

"Hello to you, my sexy and gorgeous wife."

She laughed even more. "Wow! I love it, sweetheart. Anyway, have you read the message I sent you?"

"Yeah, that's why I thought of calling you. Are you okay?" I know my voice sounds concerned.

"Of course, I am. I just feel like I want to eat my favorite chocolate ice cream and since I'm done with

my last training schedule for today, I decided to go home early. I'm also planning to cook your favorite

dish tonight."

"Ohh, sweetheart...you don't know how much I wanted to cancel my next meeting to help you prepare

for dinner but---"

"No! You don't have to do that, I'm fine. It's just a simple dish and Nanay Emily is here to help me, so

just focus on your work, okay? I'll wait for you tonight."

"Okay... I'll be home before 7:00 pm."

"That would be great. Anyway, I have to hang up because Nanay Emily is now waiting for me in the

car."

"Why? Where are you going?"

"We're going to the nearest supermarket to buy the ingredients and some canned goods."

"I see. Take care, sweetheart, and take Ben and his men with you."

I frowned when suddenly she laughed on the other line.

"Oh, goodness, Daniel Kelley! The supermarket is only 500 meters away from the gate of the villa, so

bringing much security is not necessary."

"No, sweetheart... it's better to have two or three of them with you for your safety and protection."

"Alright..." I could imagine her rolling her eyes. "We will bring Ben and Tom, is that fine with you?"

"Yes, but ask Simon and Phil to follow your car---"

"Oh, my God! You know how much I hate someone who follows me around! It's so awkward!"

I sighed but couldn't help smiling. If there's something I like most with her, it's her bravery and

stubbornness.

"Fine, but promise me you will take care, okay?"

"Sir, yes, Sir!" She giggled that caused me to laugh too.

"I'm serious, sweetheart."

"I know and don't worry, I'm old enough to take care of myself."

'Argh! So stubborn!' I just told myself but I didn't know she had heard it. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"But admit it, sweetheart, you still love this woman even though she's the most stubborn woman you've

ever met."

"Well..."

"And she loves you even if you are the most arrogant and possessive husband in the world."

"Ohh...you forgot to mention that he's also the most handsome and sexy husband who could make you

scream in bed every night."

"Oops, you're wrong sweetheart. FYI I'm not screaming during those moments. Do you know what I'm

doing?"

"What?"

"I...am...moaning...your...name...sweetheart...ahh."

I gulped hearing how seductive her voice was. I also felt my length twitch inside my pants as I imagined

her smooth and creamy legs wrapped around my waist and her priceless expression when she reaches

her peak.

"Tsk.tsk.tsk...don't think too much of me, Mr. Kelley. Don't worry, because tonight I promise to give you

the best thing you could have in your life."

"Ohh..." I chuckled at her statement. And since her gorgeous body was still playing in my mind, I

misunderstood what she said. "Okay, you'll do the job."

She paused for a second. "Oh, it's more than doing the job... but okay then, I'll do the job and whatever

you want me to do, so get ready for tonight."

The grin that painted across my face, held so much lust and I know she felt it too. Well...that's what I

understand with her statement. Little did I know that the 'surprise' she was talking about was too far

from the 'surprise' that I am expecting.

"I'll hang up, sweetheart. Don't be late for dinner tonight or I swear I won't talk to you for a week."

"I won't, sweetheart, I promise," I said still grinning.

"Okay, I have to go. Bye...I love you."

"I love you too."

I leaned against my seat when I heard the end tone from the other line. Staring at her picture from my

phone screen, a sigh of contentment left my lips.

She's right. Even if she's the most stubborn woman I have met, the feelings I have for her will not

change. I will still love her and maybe even in my second life, I will still choose to be my old self

because it's one of the reasons why I met an incredible woman like her.

"Tsk.tsk.tsk...I didn't know that being married would make you crazier than when you were still single."

My head snapped at the door and I saw the grinning Andrew as he walked to my desk. I didn't notice

him entered my office.

"Huh! You'll only know the feeling when Denise agrees with your proposal." I said putting my phone

back inside the drawer. "What are you doing here? I don't remember calling you here."

He gave me a hilarious laugh as he slumped himself on the couch in front of my desk.

"Haha...in case you don't know, I have already stopped flirting with your secretary. I know I wasn't her

type. And as for your question, don't tell me you have already forgotten that I am your personal

assistant? Tsk.tsk. I'm here to remind you of your 4:00 o'clock meeting with our new investors. You still

have 10 minutes to prepare for the meeting...Sir."

He emphasized the last word but I simply ignored him. If the meeting weren't just important, I would

have asked Andrew to cancel it and rescheduled it the next day. But I know it would only give me a

headache the next morning so, no...I'll just sacrifice my precious one hour not seeing my wife to face

this new big investor.

"Where is she?" I asked referring to Denise as she was the one I assigned to prepare the meeting

room, but I frowned with his answer.

"Why are you asking me?"

"What the---"

"Haist! Of course, she's at home." He shrugged that stopped me from taking my coat from the back of

the chair and stared at him bewildered.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why would she leave without informing me?"

"Hey, I don't know! Aren't you the one talking to her a while ago?"

'Jesus!' I muttered in silence, clenching my jaws. "Yes, I was talking to my wife when you entered my

office, but she's not the one I am referring to!"

"Then who's the one you're referring to---ohh! Haha...I get it!" He said scratching the back of his neck.

"She's in the meeting room, she's preparing the stuff you'll need for the presentation later."

"Tss! Let's go!" I couldn't help shaking my head. I gathered the files on my desk and walked past him

towards the door.

When I felt him following behind me, I stopped to pass him the files. "Are you drunk last night?"

"Huh? Of course, not!" He replied frowning.

"Then why do you seem to have a hangover? You're out of yourself."

"Nah! Don't mind me. I was just thinking about my life." And that made me burst into laughter.

"Yeah, I believe you're not drunk last night." I shake my head before entering the elevator.

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

Sophia's POV:

"He's here! He's coming!"

My breath hitched when I heard Craig scream from the patio. I know he's referring to Daniel. I closed

my eyes trying to calm my insides.

"Hey." I felt a light tap on my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

I opened my eyes to see Rian smiling at me and I took a deep breath before nodding.

"Relax, Sis, we're all here for you. We got your back."

"Thanks. I just don't know what will be his reaction. Will he be happy---"

"Of course, he will! He's going to be a father and in addition to having you as his wife, becoming a

father would be the greatest gift he would ever have in his life."

I bit my lip and looked at her not knowing what to say.

"Come on, Sis! He will be so excited when he knows your surprise, I promise!"

I took another deep breath when we saw Craig and Gavin motioning me to stay where I am.

"Stay here and remember, we're just your co-actors. You two are the lead actors." I chuckled when

Rian winked at me.

I am now three months pregnant... there are only six months of waiting and we will become a complete

family. In fact, it has been two weeks since I found out I was pregnant. I had to see my doctor without

informing anyone even Craig to check if I wasn't mistaken with my instincts, and the result made me in

tears.

When I told Craig and Rian about the news, they insisted on preparing a surprise party for Daniel. And

since there are only two weeks before the celebration of father's day, I decided to tell him on the exact

day.

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

Daniel's POV:

I couldn't help furrowing my eyebrows upon entering the wide space in front of our house when I

noticed some familiar cars parked outside. I tried to remember what's the possible occasion to

celebrate today, but nothing comes to my head.

It's not my Mom or Dad's birthday. Not even Rian, Alex and the kids. I scanned the calendar application

on my phone to check the current date to make sure I don't forget any important occasion, but there

are no things listed on the exact day. My wife's birthday is in August and today we're only in June, so I

couldn't think of any occasion to celebrate today.

I stopped thinking about it when I was three meters from the entrance.

"Good evening, Sir."

"Good evening." I greet back the two security guards as they open the door for me.

And deep frown started to form in my forehead as I saw my family and friends gather in the living room.

I scanned the crowd to see my wife but my Mom grabbed my arm.

"Hi, son, you're finally home."

I smiled kissing her cheek. "Hi, Mom. W-Why are you all here? What's the occasion? Am I forgetting

something today?"

But she was about to answer when my Dad came in front of me. He patted me on the shoulder. "You're

home, my boy!"

"Dad, how are you?"

"Hmm... well, I'm fine. How about you, son? Don't tell me you're always like this, busy as always? And

you always keep your wife waiting for you every day."

"Dad, I---"

"How would you give us grandchildren if you hadn't changed your routine?"

"Dad---" I couldn't help scratching the back of my neck when he interrupted me again.

"You're only two months married and here you are, leaving your wife in bed and going home when

she's already in bed. Tsk.tsk.tsk, Daniel... you're not getting any younger and same with us your

mother! We're getting old day by day and we want to see your children before the sunset covers our

bodies."

'Whew!' I blew silently. I really wanted to see my wife...hug her tightly, kiss her and put my face on the

crook of her neck while sniffing her fresh vanilla scent, but how would I able to do that when I'm still

trapped with my father's cage?

"Anyway, I know how much work you have right now, but please, take some time for your wife. Time is

precious, son. You can't turn it back once you've lost it, so don't waste it. Make every day count with

your wife."

He patted my shoulder again.

"I'll keep that in mind, Dad." I chose to agree with him rather than stress my reasons because I know

that if I did, we wouldn't finish until morning discussing the same thing. "Have you seen my wife?"

"Oh, yeah... she entered the kitchen." Dad answered my question.

"Mom, can you tell me what the occasion is today?"

"Hi, Dani!"

'For goodness sake!' I only bit my tongue when my sister greeted me out loud, making everyone to look

at me.

Both of our families are here... my mother-in-law, Steven and Bryan, including all our friends... Ryan,

Cari, Jack, Gavin, Craig and---Andrew? I stopped my tracks when Rian kissed me on the cheek.

"Hi, brother." She has the widest grin I had ever seen in her and even her husband flashed me his

signature smirk.

What the hell is going on here? Am I forgetting something?

"What's the occasion today?" I asked her the same question I remembered asking three times since I

entered the door.

"Oh, my God! Have you forgotten?" She asked me in return, amazement written on her face.

"I forgot what?"

"You forgot the important occasion today, bro! Tsk.tsk.tsk." Alex answered for her, shaking his head.

"So can you just tell me what the fucking occasion is today? Because I swear, I'm on the edge of my

sanity!" I whispered-yelling at the two of them. I couldn't help it. I don't know what to do or what to

reason with my wife if ever what they were saying were true.

"Hey, chillax, bro!" Alex just laughed at my reaction, while my stubborn sister rolled her eyes on me.

"Jeez! It's father's day today, Mr. Daniel Kelley!"

"Ohh..." I frowned with Rian's answer.

Father's day.

"I see."

"Ohh... you see?" She repeats narrowing her eyes on me. "You haven't greet your father, your brother-

in-law and all the fathers here and then now you're just going to tell me...'ohh, I see?"

"I-I'm sorry, I forgot!" I said raising my hands in a surrender position because no matter how I think, I

couldn't remember having celebrated it this way. We only greet our Dad and Alex's father when it

comes to this kind of occasion.

"Haha... you forgot your ass!" She rolled again her eyes that caused me to chuckle.

"I swear, it really slipped out of my head."

"Yeah, of course, we already knew it!" She sighed. "So what are you waiting for? Greet your Dad and

all the fathers who celebrate father's day today!"

"Oh, yeah. Thanks for reminding me."

"Nope, just save your 'thanks' later."

I chose to ignore her mischievous smile and turned to her husband. "Happy father's, bro."

"Thanks, bro." We hug each other in a manly way although I know that my sister hates it every time she

sees us doing it.

I am heading towards my father's direction when Rian's words came back to me. 'Greet all the fathers'.

I have scanned the crowd only to see two fathers who should be celebrating the special event today or

should I say tonight...my Dad and Alex. So what does she mean by that?

Ryan and Cari are not yet married while Bryan and Aira are just planning to get married next year. Jack

and Andrew including Steven have no girlfriends... but Craig and Gavin? Argh! Jesus! They are both

gays! And Tatay Berto---well, okay! Let's consider him a father as he stood our second father while

Rian and I were growing up.

"Dad." I hugged him immediately the moment he turned to me. "Happy father's day, Dad. I owe you

everything."

"Don't mention it, son. We all know it's my obligation as a father to you and your sister." He said patting

my back. Mom was standing behind him, giving me a warm smile.

"No, Dad, not only for that." He frowned when I released him but I only smiled at him. "I know I haven't

say thank you for being a good---I mean, the best father for me and Rian, and of course to you, Mom."

"Ohh...you're making your old mother cry." I hugged her when I noticed the tears forming around her

eyes.

"Thank you for both you."

"Why did you suddenly become so dramatic tonight?"

I just laughed at my mother's question. I also wonder why, but I couldn't find the answer either.
