Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 41

Daniel's POV:

"Dude, isn't that Sophia?"

I raised my eyebrow when Andrew pointed behind me. It was just five minutes after our meeting with the representative of Asian Industries. 

"Fuck you, Andrew!" I said glaring at him and took my phone completely ignoring him. 

"Hey, I'm serious, dude! She's with Nanay Emily."

"I'll kill you if you're just playing me around!" O warned him still not looking behind. 

He chuckled at me. "Then kill me, but try to look behind you before you do that."

I sighed and followed his gaze just to be surprised when I saw her pulling Nanay Emily's hand away from the entrance. And I frowned when suddenly the woman in her middle fifties followed them outside. 

Andrew and I shared a look before we stood up and immediately run towards the restaurant. And then I heard the woman called her by her second name. But what surprised me when she turned around and snapped at the woman. 

"Yzabelle, please baby?"

-'Baby? Why is she calling her baby?'- I asked myself as I continued to watch them. 

"Don't call me 'baby' because I am not your daughter!"

"But I am your mother, Belle." The woman said trying to hold her hand. 

I was stunned upon hearing those words from the woman. 

"Ohh!" Andrew's reaction who's just standing next to me. 

"Mother?" She repeat glaring at her. "Don't you ever mention that again because you don't know what the word 'mother' means!" She said through gritted teeth. 

"I'm sorry, my Belle, please forgive me."

"What did you say, I'm sorry and forgive you?" She wiped her tears and chuckled, but I know it's fake as it didn't reach her ears. 

I don't know why I felt something strange inside me when I saw her in tears. It's like telling me to run to her side and hug her. But I shake that feeling when I noticed Andrew staring at me. 

"What?" I asked him confused. 

"Nothing." He just shrugged and looked back at the scene in front of us. 

"Please let me explain?"

"I don't need your explanation anymore!"

"I missed you, I love you, my baby."

"Don't!" She screamed in tears lifting her forefinger. "Don't you ever tell me you love me because I know you don't! You left me! You promised me you would come back! I waited for you almost every day but you never came back! What kind of mother would leave her child?"

"Belle, I'm sorry." The woman tried to touch her again but she swatted her hand. 

"You don't know what I went through when you left! I cried every night asking myself why you left me? Why did you choose to leave me?"

Nanay Emily walked closer to her and patted her shoulder. 

"And don't you ever ask forgiveness because even if I do, you could never bring back those years! You could never bring back the past!"

She continued to wipe her tears. I formed my fists and took a deep breath as I tried to calm myself. 

She suddenly chuckled while shaking her head. 

"You know what's funny? They say a 'mother' is the one who will stay there when everyone else deserted you, huh! Such a great lie! They were all liars, because you were the first one who deserted me! Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when I was sick, and where were you when I needed a mother when I needed your support because I was almost----"

"When she was almost what?" Andrew asked the same question in my head when Sophia suddenly stopped talking as if she would never say that. 

"I don't need you anymore!"

I covered myself when she pulled Nanay Emily towards the mall exit. 

"Why did you cover yourself?"

I glared at Andrew when he nudged my side.
