You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 249

"Who the hell are you?" The foxy woman shouted. She was beautiful but Arabella could see her inside was not.

"I... I am Arabella Jones." Arabella answered with surging irritation. Why was the woman shouting at her when they can talk politely and properly.

Who even she by the way?

After they got custody of Ivan, Eric wanted them to move to his country but she refused. For her, what if Adam would go back? She could not afford to leave the country without her son. So Eric had no choice but to stay in Capital Z but Arabella agreed to leave the country after they found Adam.

Living in Eric's mansion was a breather for her. She was the only lady in the mansion aside from a few servants. The irritated woman in front of her was new to her sight but why was she acting like she owned the house?

Is she Eric's sister?

A relative perhaps?

Now, her mind was in a deep mess.

She realized, she didn't know Eric and his life well.

She only had what he told her and the rest was a mystery as she was not nosy about someone's life.

"Arabella Jones?" The woman frowned deeper as she looked at Arabella from head to toe. Her right eyebrow was in an upward direction as she twitched her lips on the side. "Who are you and why are you here?" She asked with arrogance folding her arms up her chest.

Judging from the girl's intimidating attitude, Arabella had some bad thoughts about her.

She might have a close relationship with Eric.

If that was true, then she was really the trespasser in the house.

She had to behave and be polite to the woman even if her attitude wasn't good.

"Hmmm..." Arabella was about to give her answer to her honestly but she was cut.

"Rosy?" Ivan strode into the living room with his pajamas and his big rimmed eyeglasses. He stopped beside a concrete post and tilted his body towards it folding his arms in front up his chest. " The beautiful woman you are talking to is my mom," Ivan smirked cutely defending Arabella.

"Your mom?" Rosy frowned deeper.

Then when she realized she heard a joke, she chuckled.

How could it be? Ivan is parentless.

"Yes. She is my new mom." Ivan blurted with a serious tone.

Rosy pointed to Arabella with wide eyes then averted her gaze to Ivan.

Ivan smirked cutely unaffected by Rosy's reaction.

"Well actually, she is not just my mom but also my uncle Eric's wife." Ivan babbled lazily.

After Ivan's words, Rosy's chuckling stopped. She looked at Arabella and rolled her eyes. Then, she laughed out loud.

She seemed not to believe Ivan or she heard the funniest joke in her life but she stopped seeing Arabella's ring finger.

What she was wearing was Eric's mother's ring.

It was passed by his great grandmother and now the woman named Arabella Jones was wearing it.

Her eyeballs instantly bulged while pierced onto Arabella's big diamond ring.

"What? Where? When did..." Rosy's deep wrinkles on her forehead appeared.

She was obviously shocked and was surging with mixed emotions.

She was with Eric before he started his company.

She helped him and she stayed at his side for a long time.

They had been partners for a long time like best buddies. She took care of him, helped him, and loved him.

Eric was hers.

Seeing he annoyed Rosy, Ivan strode towards Arabella who was just witnessing their conversation confused and puzzled.

"Mommy? Let's go? I am starving. I want to eat cheese ramen." Ivan held Arabella's hand and sweetly asked.

Rosy was dumbfounded.

"Ivan, I came here all the way to see you. I heard the good news. So don't joke at me, okay?" Rosy tried to compose herself.

She knew how important Ivan was in Eric's life. It was always a struggle for her in dealing with the boy but she had to for Eric.

" I am not. You can ask my uncle though." Ivan answered strictly. Then, he dragged his mom away from Rosy. He didn't like her to be with Rosy.

Rosy was left in a daze. She took the earliest flight and came there to surprise Eric and Ivan but it seemed she was the one who was surprised.

Raging with annoyance, Rosy took her phone and dialed Eric. She was still in disbelief and she just hoped Ivan was just bluffing as she knew long before, Ivan didn't like her. She didn't like him too but for Eric, she had to get Ivan's heart so she could also automatically capture Eric's heart too.

That was what she longing for a long time.

She knew some affairs of Eric but she was not threatened by them as she knew her existence in Eric's life was already rooted and no woman could replace her not even Arabella Jones.

"Eric, I am here in Capital Z." She reported using a melodious voice.

"Oh, Rosy. I'm here in the office. Where are you? I can ask someone to pick you up." Eric answered casually.

"Eric, I am already in your mansion," Rosy announced.

"Seriously?" Eric's tone was in disbelief.

"Yes. Because I wanted to surprise you and Ivan. I heard the good news about Ivan's custody." She blurted.

"Hmmm..." Eric muttered on the other line. "Did you meet Ivan already?" He asked flipping a document to sign. His company had also a building in Capital Z. For a while he worked there.

" Yes! And that woman!" Rosy's tone changed like she was irritated.

"Oh! So you already meet my wife?" Eric cheerfully asked which made Rosy jolt on her spot.

So it was all true.

She wanted to break down, shout and seek a fight. How could that woman steal Eric from her?

"Eric, you must be joking." She tried to compose herself. She could not break her sweet image.

"I am not. Arabella Jones is my wife. She was the kid I was looking for. You remember?" Eric told everything to Rosy. She was his data bank and they were close buddies ever since. Their families were close friends.

When his parents died, her parents adopted him.

They helped him like he was their own son until he achieved success.

He made himself a billionaire at a very young age but be could not forget Rosy and her family's support for him.

Hearing Eric, Rosy's heartbeat stopped.
