Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 35

Daniel's POV:

The moment my jet landed in Amador, I began to dial Sophia's number but it's still out of range. 

We searched the small city and tried to check all the people on the road, while silently hoping she's not one of them.

We also checked almost all the hotel around the city but there is no Sophia Kelley checked in at their hotels.

Roger, my pilot tried to call some airports near the city to confirm if Sophia had a flight with one of them, but still there was no Sophia Kelley listed on their records.

"Where are you, Sophia?" I asked gripping my phone. 

I feel worried and frustrated every time passed and I still couldn't see her.

We were searching the last town when I received a call from Nanay Emily.

"Nanay Emily." 

"Anak, where are you?" She asked on the other line.

"I'm in Amador, I'm still searching for Sophia, why?"

"No need, Anak she's already here."

I frowned. "What do you mean she's already there?"

"She just came home a few minutes ago."

A sight of relief instantly left my throat when I heard that she's safe but I clenched when jaws when a sudden question came across my head. How did she get home when there's no Sophia Kelley listed in all Los Angeles flights?

"Thank you, Nanay Emily." I said before ending the call. "Roger let's go!"

"Where to, Sir?" He asked confused.

"Let's go back to Los Angeles."

"But how about our searching for your wife---"

"No need, she's now at home! Let's go, my wife and I will need to talk!"

"Yes, Sir."

Sophia's POV:

I wiped my tears when I heard Nanay Emily's voice outside my room.

"Come in, Nanay Emily."

She has a tray full of snacks and a glass of Apple juice when she entered my room. She put it on top of the bedside table before she takes a seat on the edge of my bed.

"Are you okay?" She asked me with concern written on her eyes.

I nodded and gave her an unemotional smile.

"What happened to you in Amador and where were you during the storm? We were so worried when we couldn't call you, Anak."

"I'm sorry, Nanay if I made you worried." I sighed and looked down on my fingers.

"Your husband was also worried when he found out that you were in Amador during the storm, especially when we couldn't call you for almost a week."

"He was worried about me?" I asked chuckling. "Or he was just worried about me because he's afraid that when something bad happens to me, his Mom would blame him?"

She sighed when I looked at her.

I shook my head as I chuckled sarcastically.

"See? I was right." I took the tray from the bedside table and drink my apple juice. "I'm sorry again, Nanay Emily for making you worried. I'll promise not to do it again. I was about to go back when they cancelled our flights so I have no choice but to wait for the storm to stop."

"It's okay, what matters the most is that you're safe and you're finally home. Anyway, your husband is in Amador City right now."

"But what is he doing there?" I asked frowning.

"He's searching for you, Anak."

"And why would he do that?"

"Because he's concerned and worried about you."

"Nanay..."

"Sometimes, what your mouth says is different from how your heart feels."

No matter how I wanted to explain that I don't believe in that saying, but I remained silent and just listen to him. I sighed when she finally outside.

I decided to call Craig when I was left alone.

He answered it on the first ring.

"Forgodsake! Sophia, your alive!" 

I cringed when he screamed on the other line.

"What the hell? Of course, I'm alive! What are you talking about?"

"Oh, my God Sophia, how are you? Didn't you know how worried I was when your husband called me last week, forgodsake!"

"And why did he call you?"

"Because they can't reach you, well, we can't reach you! What happened to you?"

I sighed and explain to him what had happened and about seeing my mother again.

"Oh, my gosh! Are you sure she's your mother?"
