You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 184

“Arabella,” Eric Grant uttered her name with an inspiring smile.

He was left with a heavy heart earlier. Seeing the couple go away, he wanted to stop them. He wanted to know her more but he controlled himself.

Remembering that she was already married to Bill Sky, he shook his head to get rid of her in his mind. Then, he got a small jewelry box from his drawer. He opened it and stared at the thing inside the box then he smiled.

“Why do I feel that you are just around?” He muttered looking at the box. He smiled again. “Soon… I will see you soon.” Eric added then he closed the small jewelry box.

Meanwhile, at the oldest church in F city, Bill brought Arabella who was struggling in his arms.

“Put me down! Bill, what are you doing?” She angrily shouted wiggling her body to escape but Bill was strong enough to hold her body firmly into its position.

They entered the church. The solemnity was there as there were no other people aside from them. Arabella felt embarrassed to shout in a very holy place. “Put me down, Bill.” She whispered.

“Shhh…” He just muttered.

“You are really insane.” She remarked her conclusion.

“Yes. I am.” He simply answered.

Arabella didn’t want to argue but she rolled her eyes at him.

“Mommy!” Suddenly, Adam’s voice was heard. Arabella was surprised. She looked around and saw her son in front of another man.

Bill put her down and she quickly ran towards Adam. She hugged him so tight. “Adam, my son. Why are you here?” She was happy seeing him but she couldn’t help to wonder how he got there?

“I could not miss my parent’s wedding,” Adam answered with a cheerful voice and a joyous smile.

Upon hearing her son, Arabella’s jaw dropped. She felt she misheard Adam.

She didn’t want to argue with Adam so she stood up with cold sweats and controlled annoyance. In front of her child, she was sweet but she couldn’t promise if she could control the irritation inside her. Arabella walked closer to Bill.

“What is this, Bill?” She whispered with controlled anger.

“We are getting married again.” He simply answered.

“Why? We are already divorced. Isn’t that we all wanted?” Without the presence of Adam, she swore to hit him at that moment but Bill was too fond of playing tricks with her that he even used their son to control her.

“It’s not Adam wanted and I don't want it.” He clarified emphasizing every word he said.

“Oh, come on! You are never a good husband to me.” She smirked smiling to suppress her irritation.

“Because you didn’t give me a chance,” Bill answered sternly.

“Huh!” Arabella scoffed. “Are you joking me?” She said with insults. “I can’t marry you. I already signed our divorce and that’s it. Our tie is over.” She declared with a touch of sarcasm and proud tone.

Bill nodded laxly. “For your information, I shredded the divorce contract that you signed. So, you are still my wife.” He announced with a playful wink at her.

“Bill Sky! You are such a jerk!” She couldn’t control it anymore. Upon hearing him, she could feel her temperature go up to its peak. She felt she's going to explode.

Adam and the officiant were alarmed. Adam quickly ran towards his mother.

“Mom, please don’t argue with dad.” Adam’s eyes were pleading.

“Let’s go home, Adam.” Arabella was already on the verge of going hysterical. She didn’t know how to go back to Capital Z but she was determined to get out from the church to maintain the solemnity of the place otherwise she would be very disrespectful if she would create a thunderous scream inside because of the man who always ruined her day.

“Mom, I am sorry to make you angry.” Adam held her hand. “I asked dad to marry you again. It was my request to him.” Adam added with a dispirited voice. He felt wronged.

“What?” Arabella was shocked by her son’s announcement. She knelt in one leg to talk and see him. How could Adam do that? Her son was always defending her but today she felt that he betrayed her.

“Mom, please don’t get mad at daddy. Please just get mad at me. I was the one who asked him to do it.” Adam’s tone was sad. Arabella was alarmed seeing her son’s expression. “I want to see my parent’s wedding as I feel like I am still dreaming that I have a complete family,” Adam added with teary pleading eyes. “I’m sorry for being selfish, mom.” Finally, the tears Adam was holding dripped down.

Seeing Adam, Arabella’s heart was torn apart. “Shhh…” She quickly hugged her son. “You are not selfish. You are never selfish Adam.” She stroked his back gently. Arabella felt bad. She felt she was the one who was so selfish not considering Adam’s feelings. Driven with her anger at Bill, she forgot to understand Adam.

“I’m sorry my son. Mommy is wrong.” Arabella couldn’t help herself to cry with the little boy. “I should have considered your feelings.” How could she be so numb? Adam had no father since birth. He was like a puzzle with a missing piece. Now that the piece was found, he must be very happy and contented that he was now complete. He now had a father that he can call dad.

Bill looked at his son and wife. He observed them calmly without moving like a sturdy post.

“Ahem!” A cough was heard. They all looked at the officiant who was obviously getting their attention.

“Should we begin now?” The old marriage officiant asked.

Adam turned around then curled his lips upward while shaking his head to the officiant. He was signaling him to call off the wedding.

When the officiant was about to go away, “I am ready. Let’s proceed.” Arabella suddenly sounded wiping Adam’s tears. Then she kissed his forehead so dearly and stood up. She looked at Bill with a smile but her eyes were cold.

“Then let’s begin.” The officiant cooed.

Overwhelming happiness was reflected on Adam’s face. Finally, he could witness the wedding of his parents.

“Let’s go?” Arabella’s heart was joyfully jumping seeing his son’s satisfaction. She held his little hand sweetly as they walked towards the center aisle. Wearing his happy smile, Adam followed swaying their hands in the air. The mother and son were holding each other’s hands while they were walking on the center aisle. Bill was waiting for them in front. When they reached in front, “Daddy, please take my mom’s hand and please promise me that you will not hurt her anymore.” Adam sounded serious.

Bill smirked at him. He messed Adam's soft hair. “Ahem!” Bill coughed then he leaned over to the little boy. “I think it’s not fair. Maybe you could also make your mom promise not to hurt me anymore.” Bill sounded serious but he looked at Arabella teasingly.

Upon hearing his dad’s words, Adam frowned feeling wronged again. His dad was right. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango! He scratched his head while he kept switching his stare to them. “Okay, dad, mom, please promise me not to hurt each other anymore.” Adam rephrased his statement with a serious strict expression just like his dad.

“That’s my boy!” Bill tapped Adam’s shoulder while smiling proudly. Arabella just rolled her eyes at Bill and didn't say anything.
