You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 312

Eric shoved onto the sofa hating himself for being so cruel. He still couldn't believe what he did with Hanna and Arabella.

He was now with Arabella who was now sitting at his side but his mind was occupied with Hanna. He didn't like Hanna's exit tonight. He got the feeling that he offended her incredibly much. Even though they would not see each other again, Eric just hoped that Hanna would not despise him. He should have told Hanna about Arabella beforehand to avoid hurting her but it was too late. It was just too late.

"Who is that girl brother?" When Eric thought that everyone had already forgotten Hanna, unexpectedly, Arabella whispered beside him.

For a while, Eric wasn't able to answer it. He was lost for words. He looked at Arabella and then he suddenly held her hand. "Hanna..." Eric muttered. "Her name is Hanna," Eric uttered the name with delight in his tone like it was describing a good memory.

Arabella nodded and she was satisfied with how Eric got into the mood when he spoke Hanna's name.

"Are we just gonna do lots of talking here or are we gonna have fun? Woooohhh!" Rosy's loud screaming interrupted them. She raised her glass full of vodka for a toast. Everyone cheered at her.

They drank at the same time bottom-up. Then after Rosy poured another round of liquor into their glasses again.

"Bill, can we dance on the dance floor?" Ginger asked the cold man sitting beside her with his long legs crossed elegantly.

Hearing Ginger, Arabella quickly glanced at Bill secretly but Bill's eyes didn't miss it. Their eyes met. Bill smirked at Arabella teasingly so she snapped out and averted her gaze to Rosy pretending she just coincidentally look at him and Ginger.

"So, does Eric forbids you to dance after your marriage? Let's go, Arabella!" Rosy invited Arabella to dance but she wasn't in the mood to have fun tonight. She would never be in the mood with Bill's presence. To recline Rosy, Arabella shook her head repeatedly.

"Nah! You're killing the fun!" Rosy commented in a tipsy tone.

"Okay! Okay! Since my boyfriend here didn't want to join me, I'm all yours for tonight, lady!" Ginger went over and grabbed Rosy's hand. Rosy smiled satisfyingly at Ginger and the two excitedly left leaving Arabella, Eric, and Bill in one place.

The party music was so loud but the tension in the air was screaming.

Eric kept on drinking. Arabella was troubled by Eric's action. Bill was just looking at them without any expression. His eyes looked at Arabella without any care if she caught him looking at her. This kind of stare made her nervous and intimidated. Whenever she caught him staring at her, she blushed.

"Brother, you drink so much. Are you sure you can manage?" Arabella whispered at Eric. She deliberately leaned forward to Eric so it would look intimate.

Eric looked at her with a sweet smile. Then, he kissed Arabella's forehead never minding the presence of the man who was staring coldly at them. Arabella was a bit stunned by Eric's unexpected action because she didn't want to give Eric any hope and she didn't want him to misinterpret her kiss a while ago. But who couldn't misinterpret it? Especially Eric was into her. Moreover, his kiss on her forehead completed the show. Even without glancing at Bill Sky, Arabella knew a pair of scorching eyes were in her direction.

Arabella smiled at Eric sweetly. This is what she wanted. To pester Bill Sky tonight.

"Don't worry about me. I'm... I'm just happy to see you again." Eric then held her hand and interlocked their fingers. She felt uncomfortable with Eric's actions but she didn't want to ruin her show.

With her smile not leaving her face, she looked at Bill. Bill was looking at her. "I'm happy too," Arabella said loud enough to hear Bill as she put her other hand on Eric's lap. Bill looked at her like he wanted to eat her alive and she liked what she saw. It made her feel satisfied.

Just after a minute, Ginger and Rosy came in still full of energy. Ginger was about to sit beside Bill but she was grabbed by Bill. He let her sit on his lap. Afraid to lose her balance, Ginger wrapped her arms around Bill's neck and she felt it was her lucky night.

The intimate scene stole the spotlight as all eyes landed on the two. Arabella's heart skipped a beat. She felt very uncomfortable with the scene in front of her. Trying her best to hold the feeling, she averted her gaze away from them but shortly, her eyes traveled back to Bill and Ginger when she heard Ginger's giggles. She laughed out loud while Bill was whispering very closed to her ears while his hand was on Ginger's bare leg. The scene made her roll her eyes in annoyance.

"Where are you going, darling?" Rosy who sat on the couch coolly stopped Arabella who was about to leave.

"I have to excuse myself. I'm just going to the restroom." Arabella answered. She needed to get away or she would be suffocated with Ginger and Bill.

"Okay, I'm going with you!" Rosy was about to move up but Arabella handed her glass filled with liquor in Rosy's hand then Arabella smirked cutely.

"No need. Please stay here and enjoy the night. I will be back shortly." Arabella winked at Rosy and she hurriedly left without waiting for Rosy's reply.

When she turned around, Arabella heaved a deep sigh. She felt a bit bad back there for Rosy but what could she do? She just wanted to be alone and get some air. She had to calm herself before she would go back to them but the more she tried the more she could see the scene with Ginger sitting on Bill's lap while Bill's hand was caressing her bare leg. Bill was whispering something to Ginger and his lips seemed already touching her ears, neck, and cheek.

She felt so annoyed and she hated herself for feeling so jealous.

'Are you jealous, Arabella?'

'Come on! You cant be!'

'That's impossible!'

In the restroom, Arabella was staring at herself in the mirror after she washed her face. She was bothered with herself. She could not admit that she was jealous of Bill and Ginger.

'No!." She shook her head. She strongly believed that she had no feelings for Bill Sky.

'If you not jealous why are you hiding here?'

Her subconscious was talking to her then she shooked her head again opened the faucet and washed her face again. She heaved a deep sigh after drying her face with a tissue then she went out of the restroom.

"I'm not jealous! And I'm going back!" She muttered in the air strongly and determined. Then she smiled trying to convince herself that she was okay. Bill and Ginger's flirting was just fine.

"Arabella, It is just a business meeting." Sooner Bill's words again flashed across her mind. It made her irritated again. "Liar!" She said it loud like she was cursing someone.

"Who's a liar?" Suddenly, someone grabbed her in a dim corner. She was petrified but hearing the familiar voice and smelling his exquisite scent, she gained calm a bit.

"Let me go, Bill Sky. Why are you even here?" Her tone was so irate. He avoided this man but he always appeared everywhere. Isn't he afraid that Ginger would catch him flirting with another girl? Thinking about Bill Sky's audacity, she could not help rolling her eyes repeatedly.

"To kidnap you." He answered pressing her body against the wall.
