Taming My Husband (EN)

“STOP IT, MAMA! I've already heard this for the ninth time. For God's sake!” BK couldn’t help but raise his voice after hearing what his mom said. He pushed back his chair and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He hadn’t even finished his meal, but he was already on his feet.“BK!” his dad yelled, right as utensils clattered sharply against the table. His dad couldn’t stand it when someone left the table with food still on their plate.“What? I hear that every single day! Can’t I decide for myself when I want to get married? I'm only twenty-six!” He looked at his mother, who seemed saddened.“Son, we’re getting older. Of course, we want to see our grandchildren from you,” his mother said gently. Sadness was visible on her face. He couldn’t hold a grudge against her.“I told you, Ma, I have a girlfriend. She’s just not ready to meet you yet. I need you to be patient with me. Please?” He hoped they would believe him, especially his mother. His happiness depended on it.“I don't believe you

DAPHNE looked at BK after he greeted her. As if he was the only one who got married. “Our deal, huh? ” She was referring to her planned trip to Scandinavia. She was so excited to process her papers. “Don’t worry. No matter which country you want to go to, you’ll get there. Just don’t forget our agreement.” She smiled at what he said. As if she would? No matter what he did, she didn’t care—as long as she got to Scandinavia. Annulments were fast when you had money. “Congratulations, little brother and Daphne!” Andy greeted them cheerfully. She was with her husband and kids. She returned her hug when she hugged her. “Thank you,” she said shyly. “Congratulations on getting married,” she heard Andy’s husband say to her husband. Then, he turned to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek before greeting her. Moments later, BK’s oldest sibling, Astin, approached them. He looked like their father too, but BK inherited all their father’s features. She felt like BK’s relatives’ chee

DAPHNE was about to knock when the door to BK’s room opened.“Have you eaten? Maybe you’d like to join me,” she offered.He stared at her again before nodding. She smiled sweetly at him before turning away.She fixed the table and the plate her husband would use. She didn’t even realize she was smiling while preparing BK’s dinnerware. But that faded when she noticed her husband staring at her again.“Sorry about earlier. I hope you understand my point. I was right, wasn’t I? Keep in mind that we’re at a hotel owned by my parents.”She smiled and nodded. “I understand. I’m sorry, too. Let’s forget about it. I’ll just go sightseeing somewhere else, like you said.”“I’ll give you an itinerary later if you want. Just avoid places where Filipinos hang out.”“Okay. Let’s eat,” she said, which made him smile. She smiled back. His smile really made him look more handsome.Their dinner went well. They talked a lot—random things, like where he went earlier. He said he met a lot of people. He ev

“I’LL HELP YOU, Daph so you can leave sooner. I’ll just use my connections.”She glanced at her husband. He was busy washing the dishes they had used a while ago.“Really? I only have my passport.” She only managed to get that because she had no money.“I’ll take care of the other things that need to be fixed.” He sat on the counter, watching her.Daphne gave him a quick smile and went back to washing. She didn’t feel like talking to him much. She was still a bit upset.He still wouldn’t let her get a job. Her friend had offered her a part-time spot at a supermarket near her old place. Since she couldn’t leave the country yet, she thought she could work to have money for her daily needs. She felt shy spending BK’s money.She was also going crazy staying in their big house all day. She was always alone because her husband went to work.In the morning, she watered plants, cleaned the house, and did whatever she could think of. She felt like a caretaker of that house. She really took ove

It seemed like this was the only time BK had trouble sleeping. Their bed kept moving. BK kept tossing and turning. He looked like he didn’t know how to position himself to sleep.She couldn’t take it anymore and turned to her husband. “Do you want me to move to the other room? I don’t think your mom will come back anymore. Besides, you locked the door, right?” she referred to the door.“No. What if she suddenly knocks tomorrow? What if she peeks in and sees you’re not beside me? What would I say?”“Then just say I’m in the bathroom. You should know how to make excuses. You wanted this setup anyway.”“I’m not good at lying.”“Oh God.”“Daph,”“Okay, fine, you’re not good at it. But you’re so restless. I can’t sleep either.”“Sorry. I just suddenly felt awkward.”She frowned. “Awkward about what?”“A-about what happened earlier.”She paused. Now she remembered why he was acting like this. She pouted. But it’s been over an hour now.She noticed how his eyes followed when she wet her lips
