You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 119

Hearing Damien, Lira was liked struck by a flash of thunderous lightning. She couldn’t believe Damien had shared it with her. Judging from his stare, he was telling the truth. Aside, he had no reason to lie to her.

Why there’s dissatisfaction in his face when she said that she didn’t feel anything at that time?

Was he disappointed because they didn’t share the same feelings at that time?

“Huh!” Lira sounded in the air. She really didn’t want to think of him anymore but with his last sentence, her heart had felt good. If what he’s saying was true, then they were the same.

He got her.

She got him.

Their first was great and she didn’t think that there’s more than great to what she had experienced with Damien.

She remembered everything.

His every touch, his kiss, slam, his hardness and masculinity, and his scent that give her familiarity to something that she couldn’t figure out.

But it’s clear that even though they have each other first, it would not change everything. Damien loved her boss. He belongs to her boss. Still aiming for him is a sin.

She had to make a stand to her words.

She had to find a boyfriend.

If she had to pay someone, she would, just to put an end to the awkwardness in the house. After, she would find an excuse to leave them for good.

Damien was working when his cellphone rang again. He frowned and already expected who’s calling him this late. He quickly got his phone but it’s not the person he was thinking of.

It’s not Lira.

“Yeah. Miss me?” Damien answered Arabella cheerfully.

“Don’t be like that. I am calling because I am a bit worried about Lira.” Arabella was waiting for Lira to come home.

“What about Lira?” Damien asked.

“Well, last night, she went home early in the morning, and now, she was still out with her boyfriend. I don’t know, I just feel something wasn’t right.” Arabella explained her gut feeling.

“Damien, are you still there?” She asked when Damien on the other line didn’t respond.

“Yeah. I am listening and thinking.” Damien was snapped back to his senses.

“Well, don’t worry about her. She had her own life to deal with. Okay?” Damien wanted to pacify her but his mind was thinking about the girl who he had explored. For some reason, his mind was bothered about Lira but his mind was sure about his love for Arabella. It's been a long time he kept his feeling with her not to scare her away from him. Now that she's already his girlfriend, he would do everything to keep Arabella by his side no matter what. He was sure that Arabella is the girl he wanted and the thing about Lira was just a mistake.

“Yeah. you are right. I’m just a little paranoid. Goodnight then.” Arabella said sweetly.

“Goodnight only?” Damien was teasing her.

“Hmmm…” Arabella was speechless.

“Okay. I love you.” Damien said as she didn’t want to give her a hard time. He knew Arabella was trying her best to get over her past and be with him.

“Hmmm.. I love you too.” Hesitant but she replied. It was just right to give him the words he wanted to hear. As his girlfriend, she just wanted him to be happy even in small things.

The dinner dragged by the time so quickly.

Arabella had busied the kitchen preparing for the arrival of her visitors. Damien and Adam helped her with the barbeques.

All was prepared but Lira and her boyfriend had not arrived yet.

“Mommy, Can I eat now?” Little Adam was obviously hungry.

“Oh. Honey. Let’s wait for a little while, Aunt Lira called and they are near.” Arabella replied to her son whose expression was a bit irate already.

Then in just a quick second, the doorbell rang.

Starving, Adam quickly stood up and ran to open the door.

“Sorry guys, we are stuck in the traffic.” Lira was holding a man’s hand with a flickered eyes and a bright smile.

“It’s fine. Please, let’s take our seat and start our dinner now.” Arabella gladly welcomed them with a warm smile. Now, she saw Lira’s boyfriend she felt comfort in her heart.

“By the way, meet my boyfriend, John.” Lira had no time to waste. After this dinner, she had to bid goodbye to the family. Though thinking about this made her very sad but she had to leave them no matter what for peace and to clear her guilt.

But she was unsure about clearing her guilt…

All she wanted to do is to go away from them and be her own to pacify the situation. Then her mind brought her back to how she got her fake boyfriend.

At 10 p.m., Lira was still at a bar dressed to kill. She was determined not to go home without getting someone tonight. If only she had friends, it’s very easy for her to ask them to help her but she hasn’t, only those people in the orphanage.

With a desperate heart, she had been drinking for quite a while. Gone to her 5 bottles when someone sat beside her. Lira was stunned as she was not really used to going to the bar and making friends with random strangers.

“Alone?” A hoarse voice sounded beside her as she quickly looked in his direction.

Stunned but she just kept it to herself. Then she put on her sweetest smile.

Maybe this person is her angel.

Maybe he’s here to save her.

“Hi.” Lira in her cutest possible look greeted the man.

“Is this seat not taken?” The man was good-looking and his smile was bright.

“No. I… It’s just me.” Lira replied but with a trembling voice.

“That’s good. Then, may I know what’s the beautiful lady’s name?” The man asked politely.

“Lira.” She said plainly. Judging from the man, he’s not the dangerous type. He’s casual and he’s alone too.

“Nice name. I’m John.” He offered his hand to her for shaking.

“So, tell me why you’re here alone?” John added.
