You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 177

“Trishia!” Kelly called her on the phone. Her voice was desperate and frustrated.

“Mom?” Trishia was surprised by Kelly’s sudden call. She was still in the hospital and wanted to stay there longer as she was not ready to face the outside world after her scandal at the wedding.

“You have to act fast! That woman….” Kelly shouted in a displeased tone. “That woman is living with Bill now.” She continued not wanting to mention Arabella’s name. Kelly’s resentment towards Arabella was unfathomable that even mentioning her name made her very furious.

Earlier,

Kelly was excited to arrive at her son’s house. Finally, she could get over her loneliness in her villa. For so many years she was living there, she tried hard to continue her life without Ed Sky. She had many servants who accompanied her every day. Bill would drop by sometimes to have dinner with her. She did lots of travel and shopping. Having a son who was busy as a bee, she could only rely on herself to overcome the loss of Ed Sky. Life for her continued without Ed but when she saw Arabella again the loneliness and loss of her husband knocked her out every day.

That moment in the hospital when her husband was struggling to be alive but didn’t make it. She witnessed how Ed still wanted to live but it was very unfortunate. She was holding Ed’s hand while he was struggling to breathe until she saw the line of the monitor flattened. Her heart was shattered into pieces. She also felt she had died together with her husband.

"Bill and the company…"

Those were the last words of her husband.

Though it was an unfinished sentence, Kelly could clearly decipher what Ed had wanted to say. These two were the most precious factors in Ed’s life. Ed had a very big heart for his people in the company. All children of the Sky’s employees were under Ed’s scholarship program. The company paid for the education of their children with their chosen schools and only Sky Corporation had this kind of benefit to their employees in Capital Z.

Not only that, but they also had the biggest salary and it’s all Ed’s good compassion towards his people.

On the other hand, Bill was his boy. They talked less but she saw Ed was very proud of his son had become.

“You know our son is so stubborn, so you have to find him a wife that could soften his heart. A woman who could polish all the roughness in him.” Kelly remembered Ed’s words.

Ed knew his son well.

“Darling that’s a very hard task,” Kelly replied smiling.

“Well, just find someone just like you,” Ed answered smiling too.

Bill was just like his father before. When she met Ed, it was love at first sight for her but Ed was aloof to her because he was against their arranged marriage of their families but after the marriage, they became friends, good business partners, and finally lovers. It took her hardships for a long time until Ed acknowledged her as his wife. When it finally happened, all her struggles and sacrifices were all paid.

Remembering Ed’s words, she could see herself in Trishia. She had witnessed how Trishia loved her son. Kelly believed that it only took some sacrifices and hard work for Trishia to polish her son and she had to help her to fulfill Ed’s task to her.

When she reached inside Bill’s house, she could already hear some noise in the dining room. She thought it was just Adam and Bill there eating their breakfast but she was very surprised seeing the girl she had cursed was with them.

“Bill, what’s the meaning of this?” Kelly shouted in fury seeing Bill was hovering over the girl who was sitting beside Adam.

“Mom,” Bill muttered acknowledging Kelly’s presence while straightening his post.

Seeing Kelly, Adam quickly hid in his mother’s arms.

“What is that murderer doing here?” Kelly was enraged while she pointed at Arabella disgustingly.

Arabella lowered her head. She didn’t want to see Kelly either and be in chaos with her very early in the morning. She would rather be quiet than talk back as she knew she had no win over her especially since Kelly was driven by her hatred towards her. Also, they were inside Kelly’s son’s house.

“Bill, do you forget what my doctor said?” Kelly frowned and strode towards Bill seeking comfort and desperate support. “That woman will kill me. Just seeing her alone makes me sick!” Kelly pointed to Arabella again with a tone full of disgust.

“Bill, do you hear me?” Kelly’s veins popped out on her neck still seeking for Bill to side her.

“Mom. Let’s talk in private.” Bill muttered in a serious voice.

“No, Bill! Make that murderer go now!” Kelly shouted angrily while pointing at Arabella. Her eyeballs bulged in anger.

“My mother is not a murderer!” Suddenly, Adam stood up bravely. His little voice was deep and brave.

Arabella was stunned. She quickly held Adam’s hand but Adam didn’t look at her. His sharp deep eyes were with Kelly.

“How dare you talk to me like that?” Kelly strode towards Adam angrily pointing at him.

Arabella was alarmed. She could not let Kelly hurt her son.

“You have no breeding just like your mom!” Kelly shouted angrily. Her eyes were fierce cursing.

“Adam is just a little boy. Please pardon him.” Arabella muttered politely hugging Adam but Adam refused to be moved.

“And how dare you talk to me? You are not a member of this family.” Kelly scolded Arabella with insults.

“She is Arabella Jones and she is my mother,” Adam answered Kelly bravely. His tone was strong but his chubby face was already flushed and stood up sturdy.

Adam was furious with Kelly's insulting words for his mom.

“You!” Kelly pointed at Adam hysterically like she was going to hurt him on the spot.

“That’s enough!” Suddenly, a deep powerful voice resonated. Everyone stopped including Kelly.

Arabella’s heart skipped a beat. Adam finally moved and hugged his mom quickly. It was his first time hearing his father’s deep big voice. It frightened him. A lot.

With Kelly in the house, she had to be more careful in everything. She could feel Kelly’s resentment towards her but she had to absorb everything for Adam. She could not blame Kelly’s anger towards her but she could not allow her to hurt Adam. The young boy should be spared with her hatred or she had to do something to take away Adam from them even if she would go against the law.

“Mommy, don’t worry. I am here to protect you.” A little voice sounded beside her that made her regain her senses. Adam hugged her tenderly that made her want to cry.

“My son. Thank you.” She could only utter her gratitude. Her life hardships were all worth it for Adam and she was lucky enough to be a mother of a brave sweet little boy.

Today, Bill ordered to transfer Adam to a new school. Though Arabella was against it, she had no choice but to agree with him. Bill decided it without asking her. He did all the arrangements beforehand and now they would send Adam to his new school.

The driver drove to Adam’s school. Arabella was in the passenger seat and the two boys were at the back. Bill was really not giving up his comfort for her and had no gentleman trait in his blood. Nevertheless, she didn’t have even a little hope for it and she was very immune to him.

Trying her best to be immune and teaching herself to be more immune in the future. She had to or she would not survive living with him and Kelly every day.

“Mr. Sky, it’s our great honor that you trusted your only son to us.” The President of the school personally met them gratefully. Adam’s new school was very huge. The tuition cost a very big fortune that only the children from elite families could afford and were allowed to study there.

“Hmmm…” Bill just muttered seriously. Wearing his navy-blue suit and tie, his powerful aura was screaming even the President of the school was very careful in dealing with him.

“Adam, are you sure you are okay here?” Arabella secretly whispered to her little boy whose eyes were wandering all over the place.

“Yes, mom. I will surely love this place.” Adam answered with full of confidence. He was amazed by the large oval and the buildings. They were constructed modernly like two enormous spaceship heads bumping each other.

After the formal introduction, Adam was sent to his classroom with only 5 classmates who have the same IQ level. They were all gifted by unique intelligence.

Adam was very excited to know that he had the same wavelength in the school compared to his previous schools. Finally, he had someone to talk about cyber codes. His eyes lit up and her chubby cheeks moved upward as he smiled excitedly.

"Stop!” Suddenly, a loud voice of a kid stopped them from behind.

“Clark, what are you doing here?” The assistant of the President asked the kid. He was tasked to bring Adam into his classroom.

Adam looked at the boy named Clark. He was tall and a bit older than him. Just one look, he could tell the boy was a bully and headache of the school.

“Hmmm… Don’t worry, Mr. Sleigh. I am not here to trouble you again.” The boy Clark sounded proud and strode towards them coolly with his two taller boys.

“I am just here to make friends with our new student.” With a bully voice and manner, Clark tapped Adam's shoulder.

“I heard you are the new shining star. Be careful! I will be watching you.” Clark then whispered to Adam with a threatening voice.

“Okay. That’s enough. Clark Hansen, go back to your class now.” Mr. Sleigh remarked.
