You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 194

“Mom, why do people die?” Adam asked in a sad tone. Arabella knew he was thinking of his grandmother, Jaime. Adam was the same as her as he also played toughly for his mother.

“Hmmm… maybe because they were too beautiful persons that they were meant to live in a beautiful paradise.” She answered remembering Jaime. Undoubtedly, her mother was a good woman. She loved her family so much that she forgave and accepted her father with his mistress. Arabella hated her mother for this. She could not see herself as forgiving as her mom and she could not accept a husband with another woman. She would rather not have a husband than someone who would just cheat on her. Now, she wanted to understand her mom. Maybe because they were people who have a bigger heart than hers that they can accommodate all the pain in the world and still they would not get tired of loving.

With her thoughts, Arabella heaved a deep sigh.

“I miss grandma, mom.” Adam breathed a sigh too before his words.

“Me too, Adam. Me too.” Arabella muttered then she hugged her son to sleep.

Now, she had only Adam as her family. Heaven was still good in her that they gave her a sweet loving son.

‘Mom, Dad, please look after us.’ Arabella whispered in the air closing her eyes while hugging Adam.

In just a quick minute, Adam was fast asleep but Arabella could not find her sleep. After the funeral, she just stayed in Adam’s room for three days. She turned off her phone and didn’t want to see nor talk to anyone around. The only exemptions were Adam and Farrah. When Farrah visited her, she felt a little relief.

On the third night, she decided to go out. Undeniably, she missed the air outside. From where she was standing, she could clearly see the city night view. The lights were warm like stars from afar. The blue water in the pool was sparkling in the night. The sky was full of stars. The air was cold but bearable enough to feel calm inside.

It was a silent beautiful night.

Then her memory started to travel when she was young. She had a lovely family. Her mother was a good cook and she always see to it that they always had good food on the table. Her mother’s devotion and love for her family were invincible.

When she was living abroad, she was able to talk and monitor her mom on a daily basis. She regretted those days when she had to choose between her mother and her son. It was hard for her but in order to save Adam, she had to escape from Capital Z.

She had to escape from Bill Sky.

When she heard her mom’s illness got worsen, her world was shattered once again. Who would have thought that it would be her last birthday party? Arabella had many regrets but when she remembered how peaceful her mom’s face was, her heart gained its calm.

Her tears started to roll down. She missed her mom a lot but she had to let go of the sadness.

She was sobbing when someone hugged her from behind.

Without turning around, his elegant unique scent would determine him.

Bill Sky.

She wanted to pull out herself from him but for any inexplicable reason, his warmth calmed her down. For three days she had not seen him. He never pestered her at all not even Kelly and Trishia. It was a great miracle and a blessing in heaven for her as she could not think any good for the three nonetheless to have sympathy for her.

“It’s okay to cry.” He whispered. His tone was different from his normal domineering voice.

With his words, she couldn’t tell why all her tears and emotions intertwined. She seemed to wait for someone to say those words and she couldn’t believe that she would hear it from the man she hated the most.

Bill tightened his grip on her as her sobbing got louder. For tonight she let him hug her. Only for tonight, she let the man who she hated the most comfort her. There’re no words that could describe how ironic it was but she needed his warmth. She needed him to comfort her.

No fighting, no screaming, and cursing, she stood still with Bill hugging her with the solemnity of the night.

After a while, her tears started to dry from his warmth. Her tensed body started to relax in his arms. She felt that no one could ever hurt her again. Just inside his strong arms, she felt secure. She closed her eyes as his robust scent wafted her nose.

Just his scent was a relief.

He smelled so good.

For a moment she let herself in his comfort until the reality took over in her again.

“Why do you hate me so much?” In a low dispirited voice, Arabella asked in his arms. She had no plan to get out of his hug as she had no enough strength to do it and she was not really in the mood to fight.

Bill’s hug tightened as he rested his head at the back of her neck. She could feel he was smelling her scent too.

“Hmmm…” He just muttered at the back of her neck.

“Bill, why?” Arabella was very eager to know though she didn’t expect him to answer such a boring question. After all, it was important for her to know coming from his mouth.

“Do really want to know why?” Bill whispered. He sounded with a controlled impatience.

“Yes.” She quickly answered unmoved in his arms.

“I hate you.” Bill hated to admit that for the first time, one girl kept on messing his mind.

“I hate you because you make me insane whenever you are with another guy.” Bill’s hug tightened. His voice was domineering but calm.

He seemed not in the mood to fight too.

Arabella could feel his temperature rise as his body was getting warmer. She just listened and didn’t say anything.

“I hate you because I can’t take my eyes off you.”

“I hate you because I can’t sleep without you by my side.”

“You are messing with my head all the time.”
