“You are nothing but an egocentric person! Take your hand off me!” Arabella pushed him hard then she ran off.
Inside Adam’s room, she plunged herself onto the bed.
This time, her tears flooded unstoppably.
She clenched her fists to control the pain in her heart.
Bill was so rude to her.
How could he call her a whore?
She felt the anger boiling inside her.
What about him with Ginger?
Why he was acting very jealous when they didn’t even have a relationship?
Aside from that, she didn’t do anything wrong.
Playing with men?
If only he knew that he was the only man who touched her.
He had her virginity.
She gave herself to him.
Not just once but so many times.
Just last night, she gave herself to him without thinking about the consequences.
Dropping all her worries, she willfully agreed to him.
And now, he was back to being so mean.
The man was really terrible!
How she wished she didn’t meet him in this life.
After a while, she took a bath.
She didn’t want Adam to know that she was crying.
Though she didn’t want any fights for her son’s sanity, it seemed it was only her imagination.
Living with Bill Sky was like living with a psycho.
How could she possibly keep up with that?
Arabella heaved a heavy sigh of frustration while the water poured down continually to wash all her dirt.
She hoped the water could wash all her worries away.
With her thoughts, she closed her eyes and let the water heal her pain.
She wanted to forget what Bill had said.
For her, she was just going to avoid him.
If not for Adam, she would no longer stay with him.
She would gladly disappear in Capital Z and never come back ever again just to not meet Bill Sky once again.
She wore Adam’s shirt and loose pants.
Since Adam was a chubby boy, his clothes fitted her perfectly.
Without calling for any servants, Arabella carried the bags.
One on her back and she was holding the other one.
She was quick to get out of her room as she was avoiding Bill.
Obviously, she didn’t want to cross their paths again in the villa.
She was still so angry with him but she had to think of Adam.
He just got a breakdown last night.
Seeing his parents fighting again would bring no good to her son.
She didn’t want to see Adam in that dispirited situation as her son was very jolly and enthusiastic.
Whatever it may be, she didn’t want to hurt his son because of their immaturity.
Arabella walked out with all the bags but then she suddenly stopped.
Bill was standing leaning at the door.
He seemed to stand there with a purpose.
She continued walking annoyingly then grabbed the door’s handle to open but Bill was blocking it.
Though she didn’t want to mind him, she looked at him with killer eyes.
Bill looked at her seriously.
What made her more irritated was there was no trace of remorse on Bill’s expression.
“We need to talk,” Bill ordered strictly.
“I don’t like to talk to you.” She exclaimed.
Her eyes were furious and her tone carried a strong rejection.
“Hmmm…” Bill folded his arms in front.
He leaned more on the door to block it.
It seemed he was giving her a sign that he didn’t have a plan to open the door if she would not follow him.
“Please get out of my way while I’m still nice to you.” She was tough but Bill didn’t even make a single move.
He was so stubborn and she was also so stubborn.
“I said we are going to talk.” Bill insisted impatiently.
“I said I don’t want to.” She insisted stubbornly.
Bill was already pissed.
Arabella was the only woman who always make him angry.
She was the only woman who could make his temperature boil tremendously.
The only woman who made him waste his time and effort.
"Hmmm…” Bill nodded repeatedly. “Let’s go.” He suddenly grabbed her arm again.
He was dragging her to the master bedroom but she refused with all her might.
She struggled snatching back her arm but Bill’s grip got tighter.
He had no plan to let go of the stubborn girl and she didn’t have a plan either to give in.
They were brawling inside the living room when “Mommy? Daddy? I’m here.”
Adam’s cheerful voice came in from the outside announcing his presence.
Bill and Arabella quickly looked at each other like they were both stunned and didn’t know what to do.
Bill quickly released her.
Arabella quickly fixed herself and put up a smile before the door opened.
The little boy strode inside not knowing what was really the happenings inside.
He had a wide smile on his face while holding a medium basket full of ripe mangoes.
He seemed to be on cloud 9 with the fruits he had on hand.
“Mommy! Look! Uncle Victor gave these all to me.” Adam excitedly announced.
Arabella could see how Victor became so close with her son in just a quick time.
Arabella’s smile widened in response to her son.
Bill looked at Arabella frowning but she didn’t mind him at all.
“Okay… I think you need to take a bath. I left some of your clothes for today on the bed. Give me the basket and I will put it in the car.” Arabella said messing with Adam’s soft hair. Her heart felt calm after seeing Adam's back to his usual jolly light self.
Adam nodded and gave the basket to her then he ran excitedly to his room.
Arabella went out without giving Bill a single glance.
Bill got the contract sign before they went back to Capital Z.
Bill played Adam’s music the whole time.
Arabella never met Bill’s eyes again.
They weren’t talking.
Only Adam’s singing voice was heard the whole trip.
Bill rested for a while in some random gasoline stations then drove again.
Arabella was just observing anything but she chose to be distant from Bill.
Bill did the same to her until they arrived at Bill’s residence.
All the servants in the mansion came to greet and help them with their bags.
The long-haul travel made them so tired the whole day.
