You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 336

Earlier in Eric's building,

"Mr. Grant, I believed this is for you. It was mailed today to your house." Sarah Ward, Eric's assistant put down a white envelope on his working table.

Eric looked at the white envelope as she frowned. He was not expecting this document as all his business letter mails were addressed in his offices. For Eric, he considered his home a sanctuary after all his busy schedules outside so it was not possible for him to register his address in Capital Z's directory.

"Would you like me to check on it, Mr. Grant?" Sarah sounded looking at the white envelope that was marked confidential.

"Hmmm... It's fine. You can leave now." Eric's eyes were fixated on the envelope.

"All right, sir." Sarah bowed politely and walked away.

Eric got the envelope. It was neat and well sealed. In one look, he knew it was piled with documents inside. He opened it calmly and got the documents inside. The pictures of him and Hanna at that dinner appeared in front of him. Eric was stunned. He didn't know who made him stalk. His instinct was telling him that it was purely a threat.

But who made this?

Who was the sender?

His mind was busy thinking of the person who could do it until the last document inside the white envelope fell on his table.

A divorce contract was written in legal size.

Eric was stunned.

He felt guilty about Hanna and Arabella.

If it was Arabella who sent these documents that just meant she already knew about Hanna.

But Eric didn't believe it was her who sent the documents.

Arabella would probably confront him in person.

They would talk.

Eric got his phone but he was hesitant to dial Arabella's number. For the first time in his life, he was not confident about the call he was about to make.

Then, Eric came to his realization.

He loved Arabella so much that he couldn't hurt her but somehow he also felt something for Hanna. He could not stop thinking about her even though he tried. After that last dinner, he busied himself. Traveled back and forth for business but his mind was preoccupied with her. He couldn't even believe himself experiencing this kind of longingness for a girl he just met.

He looked for Arabella for so long until he found her. He did all his effort to find that child in his memory. As he promised, he found her. Even though he knew that Arabella was not in loved with him, he agreed to marry her. He wanted to marry her. He wanted her to be his wife. With Hanna, he just met her as a stranger. It was fresh in his memory of the unexpected encounter they had. They didn't know each other and he just had a little knowledge about her.

Now, it seemed the time had come for him to choose between the two women. Eric's heart clenched realizing that there was one woman who would be hurt the most. He didn't want to hurt them both. He respected Arabella so much and he didn't want to lose her as well. It was hard on his part though he didn't want to admit it, Hanna already played a role in his life.

What is he going to do?

Should he sign the divorce contract?

Who he would choose?

Is it Arabella or Hanna?

Is he not going to regret this?

With his troubled thoughts, Eric heaved a heavy sigh. Just when someone knocked on his door, he quickly put the documents back inside the envelope and set them aside.

"Eric! Can I come in? Busy?" It was the voice of Rosy.

"Yeah. Come in please." Eric responded quickly trying to recover his senses. Rosy was his best friend and she knew him well. Even without talking about his matter, Rosy could easily decipher his expression.

He could not let Rosy know.

Rosy was closed to Arabella.

At least not this time.

Until he had his decision.

Until he knew who he wanted.

Until he was already in his proper mind.

"I thought we are going to have a business lunch outside," Rosy mumbled. "I'm ready... Are you?" Wearing her white business skirt and blazer paired with her red stiletto, Rosy strode sophisticatedly holding some materials for the meeting.

"Yeah... Let's go." Eric quickly stood up and got his coat.

"Are... Are you okay, Eric?" Rosy frowned. She seemed to notice something different about Eric.

"Nah... Of course! Let's go!" Eric promptly snapped her out and strode ahead out. Rosy shook her head to get rid of her doubt and quickly followed Eric.

When they arrived at the venue, Rosy suddenly excused herself. "Oh no! I forgot something. Sorry... Mr. Kevin is already inside. You go ahead, I'll follow." Without waiting for Eric's reply, Rosy quickly got back inside the car.

Eric strode ahead without his partner and Rosy's car drove back to their office just a close distance from the restaurant.

"Emma, did you find it?" Rosy asked her secretary. Project B was their new big project and she had to fly to capital z just to monitor everything.

"I still can't, Ms. Byer," Emma answered decluttering all the files on her table.

"No way! I'm in the elevator. Going up. Continue finding it and hurry up, please!" She was already impatient. Though Emma was a new staff it wasn't an excuse to misplace a very important document.

When she passed by Sara, Rosy acknowledged. "Sarah, the Project B proposal was not on my table could you mind finding it on your boss' table instead?" Rosy was really in a hurry. "Ah...okay, I'll do it." Rosy changed her mind as she passed by Eric's office. She quickly flipped and turned the files on Eric's table hoping to find the proposal but it was to no avail. Rosy was about to go out in a hurry but she suddenly tripped over a white envelope and it quickly fell onto the floor spewing all the documents inside.

The pictures scattered on the floor while the divorce contract danced with the rhythm of the soft wind before it landed on the floor in front of her feet.

After seeing the pictures and the contract, Rosy's jaw dropped not because of excitement but because of disbelief.

Her eyes had gotten rounder and rounder as she sealed her open mouth with her hand to avoid the unnecessary sound.

She could not believe her eyes.
