Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 113

Walking further inside the luxurious living room makes my frown deeper as now all I can see is a sea of lavender and gray. All the guests are wearing white, lavender and gray--- wait --- lavender and gray? 

I thought---what the hell? I simply checked my dress. I'm wearing an off-shoulder plum purple gown. My forehead creased as my eyes wandered around... to the guests and everyone inside the venue. 

Holy wow! They were all wearing lavender and guys were in a warm gray suit. 

And with a frown, I glanced at Rian's outfit and it was only then that I realized that she too was wearing lavender. A completely different dress from the one she bought with me from the boutique this afternoon which was the same color as mine. 

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked pretending to be innocent as she tried to hide her smile but it's too late as I've seen it already. 

"Rian, you didn't wear the dress you bought with me earlier." It's not a question. It's a serious statement. Without a smile or emotion on my face. 

"Nope. I didn't." She even popped the 'p' before shaking her head. 

"But why?"

"I didn't feel like wearing it, so I decided to choose another dress."

Nice! 

"You just decided not to wear the dress, and now look at me! I'm the only one who wears a different color---"

I didn't get the chance to finish what I was saying as I felt something rubbing against my ankle followed by the familiar sound that came with it. 

'meow...'

My eyes widened. 

"Argh! The silly cat!" Rian mumbled so low but it didn't miss my ears. 

"Pussy?"

Am I hallucinating? A cat at a party? 

'meow...' The little cat keeps rubbing her head on my ankle and --- oh my! She's real! 

"Oh, my gosh, my Pussy!" I exclaimed loudly in excitement and I didn't notice everyone turned their eyes on me ---or--- should I say they were really waiting for me and just pretended not to notice me when I entered the door. 

I rubbed Pussy's head and lifted her excitedly on my arms. I don't care whether all eyes were on me. 

"Hey, you're also here, Pussy. What are you doing here?" I asked kissing her head. But not even a second has passed... I quit moving and realized what I had just asked. I stared into Pussy's coat and into her eyes to make sure that I wasn't wrong. What if she's somebody else's cat? What a silly question again. 

But no... I wasn't wrong. She's my cat. She's Pussy, she is my Pussy and I'm sure of it! But what is my cat doing here? 

Holding my breath, I turned slowly towards Rian's direction. She's holding a smile. A smile for which I don't know if it's because she's guilty or she's hiding something from me. 

And without a second thought, I have scanned the crowd and have to blink repeatedly when my eyes landed in the direction of my in-laws. They were standing a few meters away from us, and to their left was Alex, in the middle of his friends while he's holding little Jona and Dino was with Ryan... smiling at me, so even though I don't understand what's going on around me, I have no choice but to return the smile to the kid. 

Hey, wait --- Alex is here! But Rian said he couldn't come with her to this party because he still has a late meeting tonight, so she invited me instead of him! Does this mean, she was just lying? 

"Rian, what the hell is going on?" I stared right into her eyes... but instead of answering my question, she only gave me a shrug. 

My chest started pounding faster when in the next step I made, I saw Bryan with Aira on the crowd...then my Mom...and my brother Steven. 

And a stupid question came out of my mouth.
