Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 16

Sophia's POV:

"Sophia."

I am currently drying my hair when I heard a knock from the other side of my door. 

"Come in, Nanay Emily."

She opened the door and walked closer to me. 

"Good morning, Anak." she greets me with a smile. 

"Good morning, Nanay." and I reciprocated it with another smile. 

"Your friend is waiting for you in the living room. His name is Craig."

"Oh, he's here?" My face lights up just by hearing my best friend's name. "Thank you, Nanay. I was actually waiting for him today. We are going to practice our steps for our upcoming competition in the US."

"Wow! Is your husband know about this?"

"No, and I have no plan on telling him because I'm sure he wouldn't care."

"Ohh, I'm sure he will be glad that his wife is going to perform in the US."

"I don't think so, Nanay." I continued to comb my hair. "By the way, have you seen him around the house?"

Today is Sunday and I'm not sure if he's going to stay in the house. Well, it's better if not. 

"No, he left earlier this morning, he said they had a meeting in La Mirada."

"Hmm.." I said nodding. -'Good'-

"Why? Do you have something to tell him?"

"No, we're just planning to use the pool area as our practice ground."

"Anak, you can use it anytime you want. This house is also yours and you don't need to ask his permission to use it."

"Thank you, Nanay."

"Anyway, what do you want for breakfast? Do you want pancakes with chocolate syrup?"

"Yes, Nanay. Thank you."

"Okay, your welcome."

When she closed the door, I stood up and changed into comfortable clothes. I preferred to wear black cotton short and a gray tank top and just let my hair flow down on my shoulders. 

After checking myself for the last time in the mirror, I decided to get out of the room and show up myself in the living room. I found Craig sitting on the couch, but before I could reach his seat, I saw my cat on the carpet rubbing her head in his pants. 

"Oh, you brought my Pussy?" I exclaimed loudly as I run towards them and I didn't notice the shock that written on Nanay Emily's face. 

"How are you Pussy? I missed you so much!" I lifted her up and brought her to my chest. She also started to rub her head on my chin. 

"My goodness, woman! Do you really need to shout her name out loud?" Craig's face scrunched while shaking his head. 

"What's wrong with that? I missed my Pussy so much!" I replied, kissing my cat's head. 

"What's the name of your cat?"

We both turned to Nanay Emily who's eyes has shines in amusement. She has a tray full of pancakes in her hands. 

"She named her cat 'Pussy' Nanay Emily. My goodness, can you imagine that? She just gave a very beautiful Persian cat a stinky name!"

The old woman laughed at his statement. 

"Hey, shut up! She likes it though, right Pussy?" I rubbed her neck and she let out a small meow. "See? She likes it!"

And Nanay Emily laughed even harder. 

"Haha.. do you think she has a choice?"

I just rolled my eyes and hugged my cat more. "I really missed you Pussy. Did you miss me, too?"

"Here are your pancakes, Sophia. I'll just get the juice from the kitchen." Nancy Emily said while shaking her head. 

"Thank you, Nanay." We both said in unison. 

"Your welcome, Anak."

When she's finally out of our sights, Craig nudged my elbow slightly. 

"Girl, what's the meaning of Anak?" He asked before shoving the pancake to his mouth.

I sat beside him and put Pussy on my lap. 

"Anak means child, but to be specific, she's calling me Anak which means daughter."

"Where did she get that?"

"She's a Filipina and that's what they called to their children in the Philippines."

"Oh, so she's also calling your husband, Anak?"

"Yeah, but when she calls him Anak, it means son."

"Hmm.."

I glanced at him only to find him smirking. 

"Why? What are you thinking?" I asked confused. 

"Nah! I was just thinking something."

"And what is that something?'

His smile widened and I can't help to raise my eyebrow. 

"Do you think this is correct, if Daniel and Sophia already consummated their marriage they can form an Anak?"

I frowned when I heard his silly question but he just laughed in front of But. I was about to lash out on him when we heard Nanay Emily's laughter from behind us. 

"Yes, Craig. That's correct!"
