Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 58

Sophia's POV:

"Good morning, love birds, how was your sleep?" I winked at Bryan when he entered the kitchen with his girlfriend following behind him. 

"You deprived our sleep!" He glared at me playfully but I just giggled. 

"Oh, really? Is it your sleep I deprived, or the magic that I------"

"Don't you dare enter my room again without knocking, Sophia Yzabelle!"

I laughed as I remembered the scene from last night. 

"Babe, this is Belle, my sister and Belle this is Aira, my girlfriend." He glared at me when I was about to say something after he finished speaking. 

"Hi, Belle, nice to finally meet you. Bryan always tells me about you." Aira smiles at me as she offers her hand for a handshake. 

"Nice to meet you too, Aira." I said taking her hand. "I'm so happy that my brother has finally met someone whom he can call a 'girlfriend."

I emphasized the last word which makes her blush and for me to gain another glare from Bryan who's standing behind her. 

"Anyway, let's eat. I made pancakes and scrambled eggs, it's the best partner with a hot coffee."

I walked towards the kitchen counter to get more plates and also to make two cups of coffee for them. 

We were in the middle of our breakfast when my phone vibrates inside my pocket. I checked to see who sent me a text message and sighed when I saw it's come from Craig. I immediately finish my last pancake and excused myself to call him. 

I didn't know Bryan followed me and I was shocked when I saw him standing behind me after ending the call. 

"My goodness, Bryan! How long have you been there?" I asked as I put the phone back in my pocket. 

"Uhm... since you started your conversation with your friend."

"So you listened to what we talked about?"

"Of course, not! I busied myself looking at my cute picture when I was young."

I rolled my eyes when he pointed his picture in a frame over the console table. 

I was about to go back to the kitchen when he put his arm around my shoulder. 

"Let's talk about what happened, Belle."

I sighed as I looked at him and then nodded. He dragged me to the porch and we sat on the wooden bench with him beside me. 

"So what happened and suddenly you came here? I'm sure it's not about Joseph because I know you, you'll call me instead of coming here if it's him"

"Well, he's not the main reason but he's also a part of it."

"Does it concern your husband?"

I nodded and looked down at my hand which has a ring mark on the ring finger. 

"He hired a private investigator to know everything about me, my past, my previous life and the reason why I married him."

"Uhuh... so what happened?"

I closed my eyes and started telling him what happened. But I started with Daniel's sudden change, the way he treats me these past few weeks, and the progress in our marriage. I also opened my hopes and expectations about our relationship. 

And of course, the questions about my Mom, Layla and Joseph that seemed to be the biggest barrier for us to be together, and the last event that seemed to have changed everything and put them back from where they were started. 

"Ohh, then I must be thankful for him."

That's his first comment after I told him what happened. 

"What do you mean you must be thankful for him?" I asked him, confused.

"Because if it wasn't for him, you won't come here and you won't t remember that I still exists." He said, grinning at me. 

"Bryan, I'm serious! This is not a kind of joke."

"Fine, I'm just trying to light up your mood."

He laughed at me as he raised his hand in a surrender position, but I remained looking at him with a scowl on my face. 

I heard him sigh and he took my hand and massages my palm. 

"Do you love him?"

I gulped before I tried to say something which was not related to his question. 

"I don't know why he easily believed in all of Joseph's lies. He doesn't even know him and I was the one who's with him in these past few months, forgodsake! He judged me so quickly without giving me a chance to explain! And do you know what hurts me the most? He said that I can't fool him and that he will never fall into my tricks!"

"You didn't answer my question, Belle. Do you love him?"

-'Oh, my goodness!'-

I was forced to look at him and nodded as I bite my lips. 

"Don't you think he's only jealous?"

I shook my head and gave him a painful smile. 

"Why would he be jealous, if he doesn't love me? I tried to tell him my feelings but he rejected me and he told me that I shouldn't mention the word love because I didn't really know its meaning."

"Whoa! I think he's also in love with you, Belle. Maybe he's only jealous, so he easily believed what Joseph told him."

I shook my head. 

"If he's in love with me, then why didn't he listen to me? Why didn't he let me explain? He was so mad with me, Bryan, that he forgot that I can also feel pain! He said he hired someone to investigate me but what happened, did he really do an investigation? He just talked to Joseph and it's all over!"
