You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 450

"Why... why are you here?" When Hanna arrived at her house after work, she saw Eric with her brother, Anthony. They were sitting on the sofa and watching a movie like they were already close friends.

"Sister, brother here... we played basketball earlier then we get tired and went home." Anthony quickly stood up to greet Hanna and assisted her with her bag and the things she was holding.

Hearing Anthony, Hanna frowned.

She didn't believe that Eric could be this friendly.

But she couldn't avoid thinking about his plan.

She knew Eric had something up his sleeve.

Hanna just didn't like that her brother would be dragged into their matter.

She didn't like her brother would be hurt because she knew his brother was already beginning to like him judging from Anthony's jolly expression. If Eric would be staying on the island, it would be okay but she clearly knew that Eric would leave them sooner. She didn't want to put her hopes up on him because she knew she would surely be disappointed.

Eric could not continue living on the island and he would never throw everything he had for them.

"Bro... brother?" Hanna asked with a deep frown.

Anthony smiled at her and nodded.

His expression was something and she didn't like it.

Anthony was playing a matchmaker for them.

"Eric! We need to talk." Hanna called out the man who was laxly sitting on the sofa and he seemed not part of the topic.

After hearing Hanna, he looked at her calmly and smirked.

"Okay, come here and sit beside me." He ordered tapping the space beside him.

Hanna looked so annoyed as she felt there was a new owner of their house.

"No! Outside!" Hanna ordered almost shouting.

Eric heaved a sigh like he was complaining about her stubbornness in his mind.

Hanna looked at Anthony like she was reprimanding him to go to his room through her eyes.

Anthony quickly got the message and ran to his room.

After he left, Hanna went to Eric and held his arm forcefully pulled him up but Eric was overly strong than her. He pulled her instead then, she was quickly shoved into the space beside him.

Eric smiled satisfyingly at her while she was bursting with anger.

"What are you doing here and why are you with my brother?" She was rolling her eyes in annoyance.

Eric looked at her and then smirked charmingly.

"Didn't you want to see a handsome guy inside your house?" He answered kiddingly.

"Hahaha! Should I laugh now? I am serious, Eric." Now she understood why he didn't see him in the resort.

It seemed he went out to mingle with her brother, Anthony.

After seeing that Hanna was already bursting with annoyance, Eric's face got serious.

His eyes were fixed on her.

"I... I'm going back to Capital Z," Eric uttered seriously.

Hanna heard Eric clearly and she was suddenly taken aback.

She was right, Eric would leave them sooner.

And the time was just too quick.

She should be happy that at long last, he would return and leave the island but why she felt so sad?

Hanna felt disappointed and her heart seemed crying.

Even though, she tried to smile hiding her true feelings.

"Then, good for you." She uttered trying her best to hide her real emotion toward Eric.

"Hanna, I want you to come with me." Eric suddenly held her hands.

Hanna wanted to say yes.

God knew how much she wanted to be with him but she couldn't.

If only her heart could shout, it already betrayed her.

"You know that I ...." Hanna answered and she was about to refuse him but Eric cut her by putting his thumb on her lips.

"Shhh... I don't want to hear your answer now." Eric sounded so sincere. "Tomorrow, I will wait for you tomorrow in the resort. I expect you to come with me, Hanna. I want you to come with me." Eric continued with his hands holding hers then he hugged her.

Hanna felt her heart shatter into pieces again.

She didn't understand why she had to see Eric again and they had to separate from each other again.

Her tears wanted to betray her but she tried her best not to cry behind him.

Eric's hug seemed to tell her his last goodbye and it seemed it was the last time they would see each other.

Meanwhile, when Bill kissed her, she was stunned a little.

This was because the alcohol made her body hot and hotter when Bill started to flirt with her.

Just when her phone rang, she was quickly snapped back to her senses.

Quickly, she pushed Bill and got her phone as she frowned thinking of why she kissed the man and she even let him kiss her.

“You can go home,” Arabella sounded so uneasy like she was already sobered.

“Seriously? After what you did to me? Ahhh!” Bill was mad. He obviously didn’t like Arabella’s attitude.

He quickly stood up and went to her shower room.

“Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?” She asked panicking. “Go back to your home right now!” She exclaimed annoyed with the man who invaded her place again.

What made him so irritated was that Bill moved into her house like he owned her place.

Bill just halted at the center and turned around to face Arabella, “This is my home.” Bill claimed as he smirked then went straight to the bathroom without waiting for Arabella’s reply.

Arabella was puzzled by his claim.

She never gave him any right to her house and she had no plan to give him.

Everyone knew that Bill was a married man.

How could he put her reputation in a dangerous state?

If people knew, surely, her reputation would be ruined.

With her thoughts’ Arabella’s jaw dropped as her eyes grew wider.

Then, she touched her lips with unstable breathing. “Oh my! Oh my! What did you just do? Arabella!” She muttered in the air thoroughly questioning herself after she realized that she just kissed a married man.

“Yeah, it is Bill Sky but his status isn’t the same anymore and you and he were nothing.

Why did you let it happen, huh?” Along with her noisy ringtone was her voice mocking herself.

She was immensely complaining and at this point wanted to choke herself. “Arabella, you are a sinner!” She exclaimed in the air as she held her hair with her two hands and shook her head.

She was guilty of everything that happened.

Though she tried to stand what she believed was correct but whenever Bill was around, she was always shaken.

Her heart trembled and her heartbeat raced so fast.

She lost all her control and then everything was ruined just like that.

That was all the effects whenever Bill was around and she was aware that she needed to stimulate strong control and barrier between them but the big question was, HOW?

How could she hide from him when he could even enter her house without her giving the key?

It was just so funny that in these modern times, rich people like Bill could always find a way on whatever they wanted using their power, people, and money.

When her eyes landed on the couch where Bill and she sat last night, all the memories at that moment instantly flashed across her mind.

She felt good about it but was quickly covered with sadness at the same time.

After realizing her complicated emotions, she shook her head to get rid of the memories in her mind.

She should not be thinking of those as she prohibits herself to think of Bill.

Just by thinking of the married man, she was already committing a sin.

She quickly went to her kitchen and got herself a glass of water then she drank medicine to get rid of her hangover.

In just a few hours, the anniversary party would start.

She didn’t wish anything bad would happen to the party.

Instead, she wished the party of Bill would be fun ad successful.

After she got her breakfast, her doorbell rang.

She had no choice but to open the door.

The person behind the door was another delivery man.

She didn’t need to ask about what he was going to give her.

Judging from the size and kind of box he was holding, Arabella knew that it was from Bill and it was a cocktail gown again.

She didn’t want to receive it but upon realizing the delivery man’s trouble after, she received the parcel.

She didn’t want anyone to be in trouble with her personal matter.

When she entered back inside her house, she just threw the box onto her couch without bothering to see what was inside the box.

She was just so impressed how Bill could waste his money and effort after declining his invitation but even if he would send her thousand of gowns, she would not go.

It was clear to her mind and to herself that she would not go to that party and no one or nothing can convince her.

After she cleaned her house, she went back to bed.

Finally, it was time for her to rest her mind and didn’t want to be bothered by the party that was going to happen.

Arabella quickly took a nap.

“Mom? Mom? Mom….” Suddenly, she heard Adam’s voice calling her.

She was not mistaken, it was her son. She felt so happy hearing Adam’s voice but was unsure if it was real or a dream.

Her eyes were closed and the last thing she remembered she felt asleep.

She was pretty sure she was just dreaming. Well, even in her dream, she was happy to hear from Adam and she also wanted to see him but it was all dark.

“Mom? Mom….” She heard Adam again.

“Mommy! Open the door, please. I am here outside. Mommy! Mommy!” Adam sounded followed by loud knocks on her door.

At that moment, Arabella quickly opened her eyes.

She was sure, she wasn’t dreaming.

Adam was outside as she still kept hearing knocks on her door.

Realizing everything, Arabella smiled.

She felt so happy and excited.

She ran outside and opened the door.

Quickly saw her chubby charming boy smiling lovingly at her.

He was dressed up so gorgeous with his black tuxedo and well-fixed hair.

"Mommy!" Adam quickly hugged her. "Get dressed now, mommy, because you are going to be my muse at the party." Adam's adorable dimples showed with begging eyes.
