You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 64

William blinked at Arabella, who was rooted in her spot wearing her crimson cheeks. With his stare at her, he was implying to ride with his drama. His parents died in a car accident and his grandmother raised him as her own. For him, she was more like a blind date organizer than an outstanding doctor.

“Hi, I’m Arabella Jones.” Arabella talked when she finally had understood William’s blink at her. She came closer to give the old woman an embrace. Judging from her look, she was sweet, a dignified doctor and one could clearly see her tender love towards her grandson.

“Arabella, Dr. Amelia Zimmer, my grandmother.” William formally introduced her only grandma. Dr. Zimmer was known as the best plastic surgeon in Capital Z. To accommodate all her loyal clients abroad and rich locals like celebrities and famous public figures, her clinic was bigger than a hospital, a proof how famous Dr. Zimmer was in the field of plastic surgery. No wonder, her look was younger than any other grandmas. The unremovable wrinkles on her eyes and white hair were the only signs of her age seniority.

“Wow! I am so happy now. Finally, William could….” Dr. Zimmer’s voice was with a glint of surprise and excitement that she couldn’t hide through her facial expressions and words.

“Grandma, we have to go now. I have to drive Arabella home.” William had cut his grandmother and grabbed Arabella’s arm to walk out after he kissed his grandma’s forehead. He had no plan to put Arabella on a hot seat by her grandmother’s non-stop interrogation.

Wait! With your pajamas?” Dr. Zimmer was surprised with William’s action. She had known William to be so picky when it came to his kind of clothes.

“Yeah. It’s the new fashion now. Bye grandma. I’ll see you tomorrow.” William said playfully and continued walking, dragging Arabella’s arm.

“Wait! Arabella, please come with William for dinner tomorrow. William’s sister was in town.” Dr. Zimmer’s look was begging at her and her eyes were like talking to her soul like saying ‘please say yes.’ The utmost sincerity of her invitation and eagerness to talk and mingle with her was shown on her old delicate face. One could be too heartless to turn down her invite.

“Grandma, Let’s not give her a fright. She’s…” William answered, but he was cut by Arabella “It’s okay. I can go.” Arabella said without thinking much. As for her, this would be the least she could do in exchange of his grandma’s genuine sincerity.

William stopped and looked at the girl behind him. His look was puzzled and like asking why she said yes. Arabella just smiled and blinked at him, sending him a message to relax. Seeing her playful action, William couldn’t help himself to appreciate her more. His cutest dimples could be shown on his face like he was a teenage school boy while he smiled. Glancing at her, it seemed Arabella was not only witty, but she also had strong guts to ride with the flow in such awkward situation. A total package of his type.

“Arabella that’s a promise, okay? I will be expecting you tomorrow.” Dr. Zimmer wouldn’t allow any chances to lose this girl since she was the only one who had stepped again in William’s house after his ex-girlfriend, Anna.

“I promise.” To give satisfaction to the old grandma, Arabella let go of a sweet smile to her words. Then, with William grabbing her arm, they successfully got into his car.

Inside the car, they both heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other and laugh together like kids with their same naughty actions.

“Hey! Why are you avoiding your grandma?” Arabella was curious and asked her hot driver even with his pajamas and sunglasses, he still nailed a boy-next-door vibe.

“Hmm… How do I say this? She’s not actually the type you want to mingle around.” William replied.

“What do you mean? Arabella asked with her curiosity above the sky.

“Okay. Because I wonder if she was really a doctor or a matchmaker? And don’t ask me how many girls she introduced and used to persuade me before. It’s beyond numbers!” William laughed at his words.

“Now, I understand.” It was confirmed that William used her to get rid of his grandma’s scheme.

“But, in that case, why are you still single?” Arabella couldn’t help to ask as it baffled her mind.

“Hmm…” William seemed to have a hard time putting his words to answer her.

“Are you a gay?” The curiosity inside her, had spoken up and she was in awe with her own words. After her mouth, let go of those words tactlessly, she cursed herself. ‘How could you say those words to your director Arabella? You are really doomed!’ Her thoughts kept on blaming her when suddenly the car stopped abruptly. ‘Oopsie! Is he angry now?’ She dared to look at his facial expression with a bit nervous only to find out that he was also staring at her seriously.

“Do I look like a gay?” William frowned. In his entire life, he was never called a gay. Only she had ever done that.

“Yes… A sort of?” Arabella’s answered him quickly while her eyes widened in shock of herself that she did strike again.

“Why you say so?” William’s brows met in the center as he stared at her flustered face. All women he had met wanted to throw their selves to him why this girl beside her had different insights about his character?

Given the chance to explain, Arabella was quite relieved and took a deep breath and released it to calm herself not to be misunderstood in her reasonings.

“Well, first off, your look is very refined. You are very clean from hair to toes, which is cute and your fashion was different but cool. You’re like always wearing your sweet scent that one would always want to smell.” Arabella was more like talking to herself rather than expressing her thoughts to him.

“So, are you one of those people who wanted to smell me?” He looked at her playfully.

“Hmm… I would be a hypocrite if I will say No.” Arabella smiled at him. How could she resist his sweet smell?
