Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 76

Daniel's POV:

"Craig!"

I called him the moment I entered the studio. He's in the middle of the dance floor, giving instructions to all his students, but I guess he didn't hear me as he continued talking to them. 

"Craig!"

I called him again and this time he turned to me, knitting his eyebrows. Confusion was clearly written on his face as he walked towards my direction. 

"Mr. Kelley." He smiled at me. "If you're looking for----"

"Where is Sophia?"

"That's what I'm going to say before you interrupted me. She's not here and hasn't come back since the day you followed her to the parking lot."

"I need to talk to her."

He sighed and then looked at me straight in the eye. 

"That's what you always say every time you visit here, it's either you want to talk to her or you need to talk to her---

"Craig, please? This is so important and I really need to talk to her."

He chuckled at me. 

"But I'm telling you the truth, Mr. Kelley, she's not here and I'm not asking her when she will come back because I know how stressed she has been this past few days." He said, raising an eyebrow. "If you want you can go and check her office if she's there."

And that's what I did. I immediately run towards Sopha's office, but I was approached by an empty cold room with purple walls and decorations. 

"So, did you see her inside?" He asked me when I went back outside but I ignored him and sat down on the nearest chair. 

He followed me and stood in front of me, crossing his arms. 

"Why do you still need to talk to her? I thought she had already clarified things between you, that your marriage and agreement were over?"

"Yes, but this is not about our agreement, Craig."

"If it's not about your agreement, what is it then?"

"It's about Joseph De Lucca----"

"Oh, no, no! Stop right there!" He raised his hands, stopping me to speak in which I didn't understand. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kelley, but just in case you didn't know, she had already quit searching for justice that seems so difficult to get."

"No! She can't just quit like that----"

"She chose to stop living in her past and move forward together with her Mom and younger brother."

"Wait, she already know that she has a brother?"

"Yes----wait, how did you know that she has a brother?"

"It's a long story, Craig."

"Really? Or was she right when she said you hired a private investigator to learn about her background?"

I just deeply sighed as I don't know how to explain it to him. 

"It's okay, you don't have to answer, so don't pressure yourself, Mr. Kelley. Anyway, she's now on good term with her Mom."

"Ohh... it's nice to hear that."

"Well, yeah, you're right. It's really nice to hear that she can be herself again. She finally learned to let go of the past and not holding grudges against the people who hurt her, misjudged her and insulted her."

I avoided his gaze as he emphasized his last sentence. 

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking when I threw those words to her. I know I hurt her that much and I'm willing to start asking for her forgiveness."

"Tsk.tsk.tsk." He shook his head. "She's fine now and happy with her family."

"What do you mean she is with her family now? I know her mother and brother were here but her father is in Italy." I suddenly become confused. 

"She left." He answered shortly that added to my confused state. 

"What do you mean she left?"
