Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 116

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.

"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...?"
