You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 329: The Truth Beneath His Lie

“I love you.” Bill suddenly uttered which made Arabella’s heart skip a beat.

She looked at Bill with her eyes strongly asking, ‘Why do you have to do that? Why do you have to tell

a big lie to your son?’ Her eyes were uncomfortable.

They were seeking the truth beneath his lie.

Even Adam could not believe was he was hearing from his dad.

His eyes got rounder and his smile widened filled with excitement. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Dad, do you really love mom?” Adam was the happiest kid on earth right now.

His cheeky smile could not hide his happiness.

Bill looked at her seriously.

His eyes were an unending abyss.

It was mysterious and meaningful.

Whatever it is, Arabella was afraid to know.

She was afraid what the truth about his words.

She was afraid of what was in his mind.

She was afraid of what he was planning to do and she was afraid that she would fall into that abyss

and she could not escape anymore.

More specially, she was afraid for her heart.

“Yeah. I love your mom. Can you also ask her if she loves me?” That was unexpected coming from Bill

Sky.

Bill answered Adam then he winked at Arabella whose smile was now completely fading.

Her eyes shot him with daggers secretly.

A controlled annoyance was traced on her face because obviously, she didn’t want to ruin the special

night for Adam.

All her efforts and the good outcome would just go to waste if she would fight with this man in front of

her son.

For her, Bill deliberately did it to put her in a difficult situation.

He wanted to ruin the night.

With her thoughts, Arabella strongly squeezed Bill’s hand under but Bill was quick to interlock their

fingers together.

She wanted to push him with her other hand but she would just put their secret bickering under the

table too obvious.

“Mom, are you okay?” When Arabella was unable to speak, Adam asked with pure innocence.

“Yeah. I am.” Arabella answered releasing her sweet smile.

“So, mom do you love daddy?” After hearing that she was alright, Adam asked again wearing his

overwhelmed expression and somewhat he was very hopeful of getting a positive answer from his

mom. It seemed her answer would complete the kid’s night.

Looking at Adam, Arabella had no heart to disappoint her son.

She widened her smile when the reality was, that she didn’t know what to say.

Her words seemed to stick in her throat.

Her wits had run out.

“Hmmm…” She hummed trying to say something. “Yes. I love your dad.” Mustering all her courage she

answered.

She had no time to think. Adam’s hopeful expression was just too hurtful to break.

If she would say ‘No’ what would the kid think of his parents?

That he was made out of nothing?

What would Adam probably feel about it?

What would Adam think about her?

Is he going to look at her the way he looked up to him now?

Arabella was full of apprehensions.

She could not find her calm inside and this was because of one man.

She looked at him angrily.

Bill was looking at her too with eyes as deep as the word love means.

Their eyes met.

Seeing his parents, Adam could jump for joy.

Now, the question in his mind was answered.

When he saw her mom in his dad’s mansion, he wondered why.

Not until tonight.

Adam quickly stood up and approached Arabella.

“Thank you, mom, for coming to us.” It was a deep statement.

Arabella could feel the deepest sincerity of Adam.

It instantly made her eyes teary.

She wanted to cry but she controlled it because this night should be a night of happiness only.

No tears… No cries…

“Thank you, daddy, for bringing back mom.” Adam’s other arm reached for his dad.

The boy was very sentimental but he was bursting with happiness.

It seemed Adam’s long-time prayer was granted tonight.

“I love you, mom. I love you, dad.” Adam sounded hugging both of his parents.

Adam was not so expressive but tonight he was a very sweet little boy.

He seemed to wait this moment for a very long time to happen.

Arabella felt a bit of guilt as she knew Bill was just faking it.

They both faked it for the sake of Adam’s happiness.

One thing is for sure, she would not break Adam’s happiest moment tonight.

It was her first-time seeing Adam out of his controlled genius freak look.

He did funny things before but was not as sweet as this little guy now.

He seemed to feel complete.

Arabella hugged her little boy with her other arm.

Bill also did the same.

With the boy in between pulling them together, Bill and Arabella’s faces were left just a small gap from

each other.

Arabella’s calm was quickly gone.

Bill’s handsome face was like a magnate to her eyes.

He was very tempting like she saw the most handsome god on the planet.

The depth of his eyes was like sucking her breath.

“I love you too, baby.” To disrupt whatever she was feeling inside, Arabella answered Adam trying to

avert her gaze to Adam though she knew Bill’s eyes were on her. Admittedly, his stare made her weak.

She blushed tremendously.

The good thing was the lighting was warm so she was sure Bill and Adam would not notice it.

Arabella leaned down a bit to kiss Adam’s left cheek.

Unexpectedly, Bill kissed Adam’s right cheek.

It was a perfect family picture.

Adam felt very happy with his parents loving him.

He was hopeful that the moment would not end.

He prayed that his mom would stay with them forever and his dad would not bully his mom anymore.

There would be no fighting and there would not a point anymore that he had to choose between them.

Tonight, Adam could not ask for more. It was all he wanted.

With a silly smirk, Adam suddenly pulled out from the two.

Without expecting the little boy’s action, Arabella and Bill’s lips instantly landed on each other.

The wind blew cold just enough to cool down the atmosphere.

Arabella tasted his luscious lips.

The softness was touching hers making her heartbeat race so fast.

She wanted to retract herself but she couldn’t move.

It seemed her lips had their own minds.

On the other hand, Bill had longing enough to taste her seductive lips again.

Thanks to his little guy’s initiative.

He swore to reward Adam in the future.

Seeing his action’s good result, Adam clapped his hands with a wider cute smile.

This made Arabella snap back to her senses.

She pulled away from Bill and quickly stood up trying to take away his taste that was still lingering on

her lips.

“Son, since you’re done eating, let’s watch a movie now.” Arabella tried so hard not to stagger and be

obvious to everyone’s eyes.

“Okay, mommy. I am ready.” Adam quickly answered.” Daddy, I think you’re done too. Care to join us

for a movie date?” Of course, Adam would not want to end the night with his parents acting like the

ideal couples he saw online and everywhere.

“Ah… son, I think we have to excuse your dad tonight because he still had a business trip tomorrow.”

Arabella quickly butted in. She was talking about Bill’s appointment to the west. It was the meeting of

Ginger’s father. Even though she hadn’t been there but she knew the distance and travel time of the

place. Also, she just didn’t want him to be around anymore. She preferred to have Adam only on the

couch having a movie date as Bill’s presence was just too much for her to handle. Admittedly, her lips

were still not sober from his kiss and even her entire system.

“Nah… I wouldn’t miss this.” Bill sounded playful as he quickly sat on the couch. Arabella’s eyes grew

wider. This man had no plan to stop pestering her tonight. He sat while his long legs crossed one over

another then his arms were spread on the backrest.

Arabella could not help rolling her eyes at how Bill was placing himself comfortably on the couch.

“Mommy, what are you waiting for?” Adam held his mom’s hand he dragged her to sit on the couch.

“You go first.” Arabella was smarter enough to place Adam beside his father.

Then she sat beside Adam.

Adam quickly played the movie.

It was a new movie about superheroes.

Adam could not help but appreciate his mom more.

His mom knew him very well and that included his favorite movies.

While watching, Arabella opened a bucket of cheese popcorn.

Adam was addicted to it every time he watched a movie.

Actually, they both could not stop eating this flavored popcorn when watching a movie.

Adam’s eyes sparkled seeing the movie and his favorite flavored popcorn.

When the movie started, Arabella tried to find her calm.

It was a good thing that Adam was in the middle.

She could hide from Bill.

She even stopped herself from getting a scope in the bucket so she could avoid Bill’s hand.

Unexpectedly, Bill liked the cheese popcorn too.

That made the family’s common denominator.

Under the stars, Arabella, Adam, and Bill watched the movie peacefully.

There was complete silence until Adam suddenly stood up yawning.

“Where are you going, honey?” Arabella quickly asked puzzled.

“Don’t worry mom, I just want to experience your tent.” Adam was eyeing the Indian kiddie tent placed

just beside the couch.

He sounded while he was already walking toward his tent.

“Ah… Son, do you want me to join you?” Obviously, she didn’t want to be left alone on the couch with

Bill.

She quickly stood up and quickly follow Adam but when she was about to take her second step, Bill

snatched her wrist and pulled her to him.

It was a swift one that Arabella had no time to struggle and the next thing she knew, she was already

on Bill’s lap while his arms were enclosing her body.

Arabella was shocked but quickly snapped back to her senses.

She jumped out from his lap and fell to his side but his arm was still on her waist and the other was

holding her arm.

“Bill Sky! You pervert!” With a controlled voice, Arabella said angrily.

“Calm down. Let’s finish the movie.” Bill looked at her calmly.

“No! Take off your hands away from me.” She tried her hard not to shout at him though she was already

bursting in anger. For her, Bill was there to pester her. “Are you doing this because you want to ruin my

effort for Adam?” Even though she wanted to hit him and scream in his face, she couldn’t. All she could

do was a whisper so that Adam could not hear her.

“Mommy...Daddy... are you guys okay there?” Suddenly, Adam’s head sneaked on their side.

Quickly, they both turned to Adam at the same time.

“Of course. We are okay. Honey.” Arabella sounded first wearing her uneasy smile.

The truth was she was irking.

“Daddy, please take care of mommy. I’m just here in my tent if you need me.” Adam seemed to like his

tent and the things stuffed inside.

“Go on, son. Don’t worry. I got your mom.” Bill answered with a wink while his hand caressed Arabella’s

waist secretly.

Arabella could feel his playful touch.

She held herself not to giggle at what Bill was doing behind Adam.

“Okay. Enjoy your movie date, guys.” Adam mumbled then he turned around and went inside his tent

again.

“Take off your hands!” Arabella quickly scolded him.

Her tone carried a deadly threat already.

“Shhh… Your son can hear you. You just said that you love me earlier in front of him. Do you want him

to get disappointed?” Bill whispered.

For whatever reason, his voice was sexy.

“But you are the first one who lied to him. You made him believe that you love his mom. You should not

do that. In the future, your son’s heart will be broken because of your doing.” She could not hold it

anymore. She was angry with him for being so selfish and insensitive to his son.

Amidst her nagging, Bill looked at her.

His eyes were telling her something.

They were serious and were staring at her keenly.

“Who said it’s a lie?” After a while, he finally spoke.

“Mr. Sky, Bill, please stop playing!” If she had to plead to him, she would do it just for him to stop.

She was enough of his lies. “If you can make Adam believe you, spare me.” Arabella maintained her

low voice.

She was aware that Adam could hear them.

Bill’s grip on her waist tightened.

His stare got sharper.

She trembled a little but her eyes could not escape from his handsome face.

His lips were inviting.

She hated herself for appreciating him even though she was very annoyed at him.

“I…” Bill uttered but he stopped. His sharp eyes were pierced into her.

“What?” She asked impatiently.

She just wanted to put an end to his nonsense.

Bill’s sexy lips parted ways.

“You have nothing to say because you…” She could not suppress her waiting any longer. He would just

tell another lie and she didn’t want to hear another nonsense from him but she was cut.

Bill suddenly locked her lips with his.

Arabella was shocked.

She quickly pushed his shoulders but Bill didn’t let go.

His lips moved hungrily and gently.

She could feel his desire.

Controlled but bursting.

It was irresistible.

Arabella found her lips dancing with the rhythm.

Her hands on his shoulders climbed around his neck.

Then Bill released her lips.

He lifted her chin so she could face him before he spoke in a dignified tone, “Now, tell me if it's a lie.”
