You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 65

“Babe, meet my family.” Mia gracefully put her arm around his waist.

“Hi, I’m Bill Sky.” His intimidating voice was very familiar to Arabella. How could she possibly forget him?

William and Director Zimmer were also stunned. Living in Capital Z, everyone knew how big shot Bill Sky in the city and abroad. They couldn’t believe that Bill Sky was in front of them and he’s Mia’s boyfriend.

“This is my Granny, Dr. Amelia Zimmer and my only brother William and oh, his girlfriend?” Mia frowned that she had not gotten her name.

“Arabella, Arabella Jones.” William quickly answered. Seeing the girl beside him, Arabella was quite at a loss. She kept on lowering her head and her stare was fixated on the ground.

“Are you okay?” William whispered at her.

“Yeah. I am. Don’t worry.” Arabella smiled at him. She had realized, her reaction was too obvious. Bill wasn’t in her life anymore and she should not be affected by his presence. Besides, she should be thankful that they ended up or else she would be the one who was suffering from his cheating scheme. He just had held a wedding with Brittany and now, he was with Mia. It seemed that his ‘one-night no-repetition’ rule was reborn. So, disgusting! Poor Mia! If only she knew that her so-called boyfriend was a cheater and a monster. Having her thoughts, made her irritated at him.

“Ms. Jones?” Bill’s mocking voice came out in front of her and that was the only time she recognized his hand was in front of her waiting to be shaken.

Arabella looked at Bill and their eyes met. Not to be obvious by everyone, Arabella shook his hand, but when she was about to take it out, the other hand’s grip tightened. She looked at him mockingly whose eyes were also looking at her with full of sarcasm.

“I know you all are hungry now let’s start our dinner and let’s take our seat.” Dr. Zimmer with no any hint about the two, announced it to everyone which made Bill and Arabella’s hands separated.

The table was full of sumptuous dishes. It was like a thanksgiving feast arranged by Dr. Zimmer. For her, it was her happiest moment to see her grandchildren having their own partners in life. Mia was more famous than a celebrity, but she never introduced anyone to them while William had undergone on a therapy consultation for 3 years just to get over his ex-girlfriend.

Remembering all her grandchildren frustrations made her heart twitched, but seeing them with their new partners made her heaved a sigh of relief.

Gathered around the oval table, Arabella and William were sitting beside each other. In front of William was Mia and in front of Arabella was Bill while Dr. Zimmer was at the center.

“Oh. Thanks.” Arabella uttered at William who was busy putting all kinds of food on her plate. Though Bill was in front of her, she avoided to meet his eyes.

“You want more?” William asked jokingly after seeing her plate was full.

“It’s all up to you if you wanted me to get fat.” Arabella replied at him jokingly and laughed a little without minding everyone around specially the man in front of her. They were just like talking the normal if they were together.

“How sweet!” Seeing the couple laughing like they have their own world, Mia butted in. She was actually very happy to see William’s new girlfriend. After all, her brother’s suffering for many years, this was the only time she had witnessed him laugh again. Thankful and contented, she would do anything to make Arabella stay beside her brother.

“Babe aren’t they sweet?” Mia asked the man beside her who was just elegantly enjoying his food and drinking his wine without any care around him.

“Ahmm...” Out of respect for the old lady at the center, Bill simply replied indirectly and backed to his eating. One thing he hated the most was distracting his eating, especially when he enjoyed it and Arabella absolutely knew it.

“So, William and Arabella, let’s stop beating around the bush. Can you tell me a wedding date? ” Dr. Zimmer showed a little impatience in her voice. Confirming the two were in-loved, there’s no reason for them not to tie the knot. Getting her grandson be settled would be a great relief for her.

Hearing Dr. Zimmer, Arabella froze, but she tried to hide it, instead she let go of a sweet smile. Dr. Zimmer’s words were out of nowhere and she had not expected it to come from her mouth. She should have not underestimated William’s worry inside the car. Now, she fully understood, it seemed William was right about his grandma. If only Dr. Zimmer knew that her grandson couldn’t marry her, but of course she didn’t want to get William to be busted as she promised him.

“Soon grandma. Soon.” William quickly replied to pacify his grandma’s impatience, then he smiled and look at Arabella, who was also smiling at everyone.

Her smile was like a support to him, sending everyone a message that she was agreeing with William’s words. Then suddenly, a heavy shoe stepped on the edge of her right stiletto. Arabella was stunned and looked at Bill annoyingly. Definitely, it was his leather shoe as he was the one in front of her, but Bill was busy enjoying his meal that one could easily say, he was not the culprit. Arabella struggled her foot under the table as she used her left foot to kick out the shoe that was pinning her right foot, but it was to no avail as her left foot was also captured by another shoe. Now, her two feet were nailed down on the ground with the two heavy shoes intentionally hovering above her shoes. With great annoyance, but didn’t want to be obvious, Arabella looked at Bill but the latter just enjoyed his eating. He dared to step on her under the table, but he avoided her stare. That was really his intention, to annoy her.

“Are you okay?” William was a little worried about Arabella as she was not speaking anymore and her face looked flustered.
