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

Chapter 245 : Love Equation

“Let’s go!” Eric’s voice suddenly sounded behind Arabella.

“Uncle!” Ivan shouted excitedly seeing him.

Arabella turned to look at Eric.

She was surprised by his sudden presence.

“Why are you here? I thought you are busy now?” Arabella frowned.

She immediately forgot what her mind was thinking earlier.

Eric looked at Sharon while Sharon was also looking at them with a puzzled expression but she was

smiling not to come out to be so nosy.

“Sharon, this is my brother.” Arabella started to introduce them. “Brother this is my friend.” Arabella's

eyes were thinking of something that she could not figure out even if she tried harder. “We also worked

together before,” Arabella added with a smile but her eyes were lost.

Eric just nodded at Sharon.

He didn’t like strangers to talk to Arabella and he heard their conversation that is why with big strides,

he interrupted them.

They were talking about Bill Sky.

That man! This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He didn’t deserve to occupy her mind.

He deserved to vanish in Arabella’s memory.

Eric was clenching his fists again remembering the man who made Arabella suffer.

“And this…” Arabella held Ivan’s shoulder. “This is my son.” Arabella introduced the little boy in her

cart.

“Adam, say hi, to my friend, Aunt Sharon,” Arabella asked Ivan.

Sharon froze in her spot.

Her smile faded immediately.

Something was wrong.

Arabella Sky’s son is Adam Sky.

In capital Z, they were like a royal family.

When Bill Sky showed his family to the public, their faces were like the image of the city.

Sharon could not be mistaken for Adam Sky’s face.

After Bill Sky spared her life even if she offended him, Sharon became a fan of Bill Sky as she

considered him his life savior.

If he killed her at that time as her punishment, her son would become homeless and parentless.

Now, her son was in college and was about to graduate.

She was happy seeing Arabella Jones by Bill Sky’s side and she also had a collection of their family

pictures that she cut out from different magazines.

She had also a big picture of Adam cut from a tabloid so she was sure that the boy in front of her was

too different from Adam Sky.

Sharon was very puzzled but she didn’t want to make it obvious.

How could she say that the boy is not Adam Sky?

“Are you okay, Sharon?” Arabella asked as Sharon seemed frozen and her eyes were not leaving

Adam.

“Yeah,” Sharon answered along with a stiff smile.

“Let’s go now!” Eric saw the obvious. He quickly held Arabella’s cart and her waist to leave.

“Bye, Sharon. It was nice to see you again. Take care.” Arabella politely waved her hand at Sharon was

still left in a daze.

She waved too while her eyes traced their backs.

Sharon could feel something weird but she could not confirm it.

It was all in her mind for now.

She shook her head to get rid of her bad thoughts then walked away.

When they reached the house, Eric didn’t open the topic again.

He didn’t ask about Sharon instead he opened another topic just to cover the conversation she had

with that woman named Sharon.

Before, Eric hoped for Arabella’s quick recovery not until he and Ivan became used to her in their lives.

At first, Eric had feared only one thing.

He was afraid of her breakdown as per the doctor so he gave Arabella a new cellphone so he could

hide her old one.

Surely, Arabella had pictures of Adam and Bill Sky on her phone.

On her new phone, only Eric's and Ivan's numbers were saved.

He also ordered his IT to block the usage of search engines and news websites even Arabella was not

fond of using the internet.

She was only fond of reading books but Eric just wanted to make sure.

Admittedly, after 3 months, Eric’s fear became fears.

Eric feared that Arabella would remember everything.

He was afraid that Arabella would remember Adam and would go out of her way to find him

everywhere.

He was afraid to not control her if she would break down.

He was afraid that she would remember Bill Sky.

He was also afraid that the satisfaction he felt for the past 3 months would be gone tomorrow or

anytime.

Most importantly, he was afraid Arabella would leave his house.

His house would become lifeless again.

Ivan would obviously go back to his normal sad soul.

Eric gritted his teeth as his thoughts frightened him.

He had never been scared before.

It was only now that he was very scared of something.

Eric lit a cigarette in the garden and puffed it until he released the tension inside him.

“Brother? Why are you still awake?” Eric quickly threw his cigarette hearing Arabella’s voice behind

him.

He smoked when he was tensed but he stopped a long time ago.

Today, he could not help it.

“I’m just thinking about something,” Eric answered turning his head to see the girl who’s coming to sit

beside him.

“Do you have a problem in the office?” Arabella’s eyes were full of concern and it made Eric’s heart

jump. “You can tell me,” Arabella said sweetly.

Eric was controlling his emotion but he couldn’t help to hold her hands.

His gloomy and worried eyes met her eyes.

Arabella felt restless with what he saw in Eric’s eyes. She instantly felt very worried as she just let him

hold her hands.

“Whatever happened, know that I am here for you,” Eric uttered every word sincerely while his eyes

never leaving hers. “All I want is to make you happy. I don’t want to see you cry again.” Eric continued.

Arabella let go of her sweetest smile. “I am. I am very happy, brother.” Arabella answered to assure and

appeased Eric’s worries.

After hearing her answer, Eric kissed her hand.

Arabella was shocked and she saw him was shocked too.

Eric didn’t know what he had just done. It was his subconscious that was taking over him.

“I’m sorry.” He uttered quickly as he averted his gaze away from her.

He knew he wanted to do it to her for a long time but he always held back his desire.

Now, he couldn’t believe that he had done it.

He felt shy of her but Arabella tapped his shoulder and smiled at him without any awkwardness in her

expression.

“It’s okay brother.” Along with her sweet smile, she uttered. “I know you missed Ivan so much.” She

added. Her face had pitied him.

Eric froze.

Did he hear her right?

He let go of her hand then he released a stiff smile.

So, Arabella thought, Ivan had left the house.

“Brother, I know you love Ivan so much. I am willing to help you win his custody. We are family now. I

can’t afford to see you sad and it pained me seeing you sad and alone here.” Eric could only see the

sincerity in her eyes.

What a beautiful creature!

He could not help but appreciate her more.

Eric averted his gaze from her. The more he stared at her the more he fell in loved with her.

Eric heaved a deep sigh with his true feeling for her.

How could he tell her his true feeling for her when she looked at him as her big brother?

This is nuts!

Eric was a good businessman.

He was used to getting what he wanted.

He closed multi-billion projects almost every day.

But he didn’t expect this kind of situation involving his heart was too difficult to handle.

How could he handle her?

What’s the best technique to make her fall in love with him?

Is there any equation to his problem?

“So, you remember what I told you?” Eric asked to confirm and analyze Arabella’s condition carefully.

“Such an important matter, how could I forget brother?” She answered along with a sweet chuckle.

Eric concluded Arabella only forget Bill Sky and he was happy about it.

“Then, will you marry me?” Eric had to take the opportunity. He asked while smiling as he didn't want to

put on awkwardness in the air.

Arabella was already divorced so they could register their marriage immediately.

He had to do it or else he would miss the chance to make her his wife.

If Arabella would be his wife, Bill Sky would completely vanish from her life.

She was going to be his wife and he would never let her go.

Arabella looked at him with still sparks in her eyes.

She smiled as she nodded at Eric. “I will do that brother. You had helped me a lot. Let me help you

too.” With pure soul, Arabella answered agreeing to his proposal.

Eric felt happy with her answer but he was not completely satisfied.

For now, he should settle for it.

“Thank you, Arabella. “Eric said then he hugged her.

Arabella stroked Eric’s back to comfort him. She sincerely wanted to help him.

After their conversation, Arabella went back to Ivan’s room while Eric to his room.

He was standing on his balcony seeing feeling the wind touches his face.

His eyes were glued to the dark with few lights afar.

Then he called someone on his phone.

“I am going to get married tomorrow. Prepare everything. The ceremony should be simple and private.”

That was what Arabella wanted.

She didn’t want a lavish ceremony.

The ceremony was just to show proof of their wedding to the court together with their marriage

certificates.

“Right away sir.” It was already 12:30 am. A wedding ceremony would happen in the afternoon as per

Eric’s order.

His secretary answered but he was already cramming inside.

He had to do his task perfectly as this is the first marriage of his boss. It shocked him a lot.

“Sir, what about the media?” He asked to clarify if Eric wanted the media to cover his wedding.

Eric didn’t answer immediately. He was weighing the pros and cons. If the world would know that

Arabella was his wife already nobody would dare to touch her. Bill Sky would not disturb her anymore

wherever he is in right now but Arabella wanted the wedding to be solemn and simple.

She didn’t want to wear an expensive wedding gown.

Eric heaved a sigh before he answered. “Invite only one local and one international. Control the

security. I will send you the guest list.” With that, Eric dropped the call without waiting for his secretary’s

reply.

Tomorrow, Arabella would become his wife.

The Sky family would not look down on her.

He would give everything to her.

Eric had only one girl in his heart for a very long time.

That young girl, he was with in a dark room.

He couldn’t forget her and she was none other than Arabella Jones.

After the wedding, Eric planned to take Arabella back to his country.

They would leave Capital Z with Ivan for good. Surely, Adam would find them if he would be at the right

age.

Someday, Arabella would see him as his man.

Eric would take one step at a time.

He would never force her to love him or gave her under any pressure.

Time would process everything.

Morning came quickly.

Ivan was so excited about the wedding of his uncle and mommy.

Arabella didn’t want someone would touch her son so she was the one who dressed up Adam. He was

so cute with his little black tuxedo.

“You guys ready?” Eric strode inside handsomely. He was wearing a black tuxedo too like Ivan. Eric

was charming and striking with his tall sexy figure.

Arabella knew she was staring at her brother long enough so she shyly averted her gaze. She blushed.

Eric smiled at her reaction. He admired her so much. The white gown she was wearing embraced her

curved perfectly. The cut showed her white collarbone.

She was beautiful and sexy as hell!

Eric noticed her face had no makeup but she was such a beauty without it.

“I like it.” Eric could not help but utter his appreciation.

He used to see girls covered their faces with heavy makeup but the girl in front of him was simply

stunning without any tints on her face.

Arabella looked at him puzzled.

Eric smiled.

“I mean. You are very beautiful even without any makeup. I like it.” Eric clarified.

“Thank you, brother.” Her porcelain teeth were so perfect.

“Breaking news: The billionaire businessman, Mr. Eric Grant, is holding his wedding today with Ms.

Arabella Jones. The couple was said to be old lovers and was reunited after a decade. Today, they

finally decided to tie the knot.”

Meanwhile, A man’s sharp eyes were bored on the TV screen then after a while, he pressed a button

on the remote control to turn it off.
