Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 20

I sighed when I glanced at the closed door of his study room. I know he's inside but I have no plans on asking him why he didn't go to work today. 

"Meow.."

A wide smile instantly crept on my lips when I saw Pussy in the living room. I walked towards her and lifted her in my arms. 

"Pussy, I'm going to swim do you want to join me in the pool?"

I asked her rubbing her head and she leaned on my touch. I climbed upstairs and brought her with me in inside my room. 

I put her on top of my bed but she jumped and followed me inside the walk-in closet. 

"Hmm... you missed me so much, huh?" I smiled while getting my one-piece gray swimsuit inside the drawer. I also took a towel and a new bathrobe. 

After almost fifteen minutes of preparing my things, I took Pussy again with me and we exited my room. I saw Nanay Emily and Tatay Berto sitting on the wooden bench at the garden before I could reach the pool area. I'm sure Tatay Berto was cracking again some jokes to her wife based on her laughs and the way she punches her husband's arm. 

Happiness and contentment we're both written on their face. Even though they didn't have children of their own, but that didn't measure the love and respect they have for each other, rather it only strengthened their relationship. 

They just proved the saying that "falling in love is not a choice. To stay in love is."

They both found the right person, the perfect match, the best partner and love from each other. 

"They were so sweet, Pussy." I smiled as I brought her closer to my chest. "Love, love, love. Don't worry Pussy, you will always have me and we will always have each other, forever."

"Meow..."

"Yes, I'll promise that."

And with one last glance, I sighed and decided to walk towards the pool and let them continue their sweet moments together. 

But what I didn't notice, there was someone who's also watching the two oldies from the terrace of his room. 

"Stay here, Pussy and don't jump in the water." I said while putting her down on the edge of the pool. I shook my head as I found it funny how I talked to my cat and warned her not to jump on the water, although I know she wouldn't do that. 

I opened my music gallery and chose to play my romantic playlist before I took off my robe and jump in the water. 

When I felt the exhaustion from almost an hour of swimming back and forth on both sides of the swimming pool, I decided to stop and floating my back on the water. I sighed as I suddenly felt relaxed and drowsy. I closed my eyes and I'm almost asleep on the water when I heard the cold voice from the edge of the pool, and I don't even have to open my eyes to know who it was. 

"Are you really going to sleep on the water?"

I mentally rolled my eyes before opening them just to see Daniel standing a few steps away from my things. Pussy is nowhere to be seen, maybe she came back inside the house. 

"I'm not stupid to sleep on in the water!" I replied in a duh tone. 

"Really?" He smirked at me putting his hands inside of his pockets. 

"What do you want?" I asked and averted my eyes away from him as I can feel his intense gaze all over my body. I chose to ignore it and pushed my feet on the water to move towards the other end of the pool. 

"We need to talk." His voice came serious and he walked at the edge to follow me.

"But we are now talking." I said not looking at him and continued to push my feet. 

"Sophia, I'm serious. We need to talk."
