“Mommy, who is that girl?” Inside the elevator, Ivan could not get over the image of his uncle Eric and the woman he was holding because aside from his grandmother, Rosy, and his mom, Arabella, Ivan had never seen his uncle Eric with another woman.
As of the moment, his genius brain didn’t give him an accurate answer base on his analysis.
“I… I don’t know dear. I think she’s one of your uncle’s friends.” Arabella answered pacifying his curiosity.
She didn’t know what to say as she was also in a maze.
Eric didn’t say anything about this girl.
From the way he gripped her waist, Arabella could find it intimate knowing Eric who’s not a playboy and was a serious gentlemanly person.
The only thing that bothered her was Rosy.
Is it because of her closeness to Rosy that Eric hid the girl from her?
For now, that’s the only reason she could think of.
For her, whatever Eric’s decision, she would respect it.
If he is really in love with the girl, she would be happy with his brother, Eric.
“A friend?” Bill's voice snapped her back to her senses.
Arabella looked at him with killer eyes.
How could this man be so inconsiderate with a child?
Bill looked at her smirking handsomely.
“Yeah… I think that too.” Bill added after seeing Arabella’s threatening expression.
Then he leaned his back on the wall and folded his two arms in front.
With his silence, Arabella was pacified.
In the basement, Ivan’s driver was waiting for them.
Bill led Ivan to his car and Arabella followed but Bill was quick to block his body at the entrance of the car before Arabella could enter.
“Mommy, aren’t you not going with me? Let’s play in the pool, mommy.” Ivan said excitingly.
“Some other time Ivan. Mommy and I have some important matter to deal with.” Bill answered for her while he was gripping Arabella’s wrist.
“What are we going to talk about?” Arabella whispered with full of annoyance in her tone. “Let me go. I want to go with Ivan. Eric was not there for him.” She added trying to get rid of her wrist from his hand.
“What are you going to talk about then?” Ivan was still in his full curiosity while sneaking his head out from a rolled-down glass window.
“About your brother Adam,” Bill answered winking at Ivan along with his release of Arabella.
After hearing Bill, Arabella froze on her spot even him not holding her anymore.
Who would want to go away hearing the name of her son from this man?
Wherever he would go she would definitely follow just to see Adam again.
Just to see her loving son again.
“Oh! That’s great then. So, mommy really needs to stay with you. I hope I can see brother Adam again.” Ivan answered excitedly. “But can you promise me one thing?” Ivan added seriously.
“Hmmm… go on,” Bill answered lazily.
“Do not bully my mom and brother Adam. Okay?” Ivan with a cute little voice said bravely.
Bill smiled at the little boy’s expression.
“Okay. I promise.” Bill lifted his hand to swear.
‘What can a little boy do to him?’ In the back of his mind, he was thinking.
‘I will hack your company system together with my brother Adam and the genius club if you hurt our mom.’ Ivan was thinking at the same time.
“Good! Bye, mom, I will visit you again.” After a moment of consideration, Ivan waved his hand.
“I promise I will visit you too and spend the night with you. I love you too.” Arabella strode and kiss Ivan’s head on the window of the car.
Then Ivan rolled the glass upward and his driver drove away.
“What did you say?” Bill asked frowning after Ivan left.
“What? I don’t know what you are talking about.” Arabella answered with irritation. She could never answer him with calm.
“You are going to spend a night in Eric’s house?” Bill didn’t let her slip just like that.
Arabella smirked. Now she knew what his problem is.
“What’s wrong with that, Mr. Sky? I’m Eric’s wife.” She said provokingly. “Married couple should be staying together the whole night.” She added smiling with a tease. “Are you jealous, Mr. Sky?”
Bill looked at him.
His eyes were serious.
Then instead of replying, he grabbed her wrist again and then her waist.
“Where are we going?” Arabella was in a panic.
“Didn’t you say, you want me to f*ck you in the cinema with the crowd?” Bill muttered in the air coolly.
“Mr. Sky, that was just a joke.” She answered quickly. “Didn’t you say that we are going to talk about Adam?” Arabella was struggling with him but Bill was unstoppable.
His grip was strong so, she had no choice but to follow his every step.
“It was just a joke too,” Bill answered her then he slammed her inside his car.
Arabella tried to open the car but she couldn’t.
Bill was quick to enter his sports car. Arabella stopped struggling.
This setup was not new to her.
Bill’s car had the most secured auto-lock system.
All commands were on his remote control.
“Bill, don’t make Adam a joke to me. I miss my son a lot. How is he? Who takes care of him? What is he doing now? Dammit! I’m going crazy thinking of my son. Please let me see him. Please.” Remembering her son, Arabella got a sudden outburst.
Bill didn’t reply.
He started the engine and drove away.
Meanwhile, in the fire exit, the girl wanted to run away crying but Eric was fast to catch her.
“I’m sorry but you can’t go.” Eric’s cheek turned crimson after she slapped him.
“Let me go, pervert!” She shouted angrily.
“I can’t. Look, what I did to you is awful and for that, I am very sorry.” Eric was already sobered seeing her cry.
He was not the type of man that wanted to make women cry.
He hated those kinds.
“That woman there with the boy is my wife.” He started to explain with a controlled temper.
He had to be calm or he could not promise if he could still control himself after what she said in front of Arabella and Ivan.
After hearing Eric, the girl had stopped struggling.
Her eyes were in deep shock.
She was guilty and her impression was regretting it.
“I’m sorry. I… I didn’t… I didn’t intend to ruin your marriage.” She stuttered explaining herself.
