You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 452

Arabella Jones and Adam Sky were like royalties striding gracefully on a red carpet.

A beautiful royal princess and a young handsome prince holding each other hands easily caught everyone’s attention and that’s including the king.

“Daddy!” Adam sounded charmingly seeing Bill walking so gorgeous towards them.

Arabella tried her best not to stare at Bill’s handsome face for she knew she would have a very hard time taking her eyes away from him.

It always happened.

Bill had something that made her hypnotized and it was embarrassing.

It was embarrassing because she could not control herself from staring at him.

She always lost all control whenever Bill was around.

Before, maybe it was okay because they were both untangled but now, Arabella found it already awkward.

Bill Sky is already married and she had no plan to stare at someone’s husband.

“Mommy, look! Daddy is very handsome.” Adam sounded teasing while wiggling their hands.

Arabella just smirked cutely.

When did her son develop this kind of skill?

He is now good at teasing and he just found her as his first victim.

“I think you are more handsome my darling,” She mumbled smiling sweetly at Adam.

“How can you say that mom? You never look at daddy. Oh, by the way, he is coming.” Adam continued teasing his mom seeing her blush and even got blusher upon hearing him.

Adam couldn’t help giggling on her side.

“Should we just stop right here? Or should we just go and get some food? Seriously, baby, I’m starving already.” Arabella mumbled seeing the tall powerful figure coming their way.

Bill was getting closer to them and she was already panicking.

And now she questioned herself why she had to be there.

“Mommy, relax. It's just dad.” Adam giggled more seeing his mom a bit uneasy.

It was obvious to him the reason why her mom was acting like she was not in herself.

It was because of his dad.

Adam squeezed his mom’s hand a little to appease him.

“No, it’s not that.” Arabella didn’t want to affirm Adam’s observation.

“Well, he is here,” Adam announced. “Daddy, we are here.” In just the next second, Adam was already talking to Bill Sky.

Arabella stood frozen and her eyes were everywhere.

She didn’t like to meet Bill’s eyes.

She didn’t want to bombard him with her annoyance for using Adam against her and most importantly, she didn’t want to admire his most gorgeous and elegant look tonight.

She didn’t want to fall in love with him again and again tonight.

“Mom, dad is here,” Adam squeezed her hand again and pulled her a little.

Adam wanted her to pay respect to his father of course it was just the right thing to do as the main host of the party.

Even though she didn’t like the idea but for Adam, Arabella tried her best to act normal and of course, a good mom to her son.

She bowed gently to Bill, “Nice party,” She felt she had to say something but she never looked him in the eyes.

“Thanks,” Bill replied briefly as his eyes were fixated on Arabella's beautiful face. “You are beautiful.” Bill continued. “The most beautiful.” He added with his eyes filled with admiration at her explicit beauty.

Even though she didn’t want to absorb his words into her heart but she could not help to feel flattered.

Bill’s voice was Magnifique and it had shaken her heart in a good way.

“Oh sweetheart, you are here,” Suddenly, Trishia’s melodious voice was heard behind.

The in just a quick moment, she appeared in front of them and quickly hugged Bill’s arm.

Trishia appeared to be a very gracious and sweet wife in everyone's eyes.

“Oh, Adam, you are here now with your…” Trishia was smiling but her eyes were scrutinizing Arabella from head to toe again and again like she was discriminating her through her eyes before she continued, "...mother," Now, she just didn't appear to be a sweet wife but also a sweet stepmother.

“I hope you don’t mind, Aunt Trishia. I just want to be with her celebrating my family’s milestone.” Adam was quite good at speaking.

He was so a natural speaker ever since.

Upon hearing Adam, Trishia’s fake smile showed up as she tightened her grip on Bill’s arm.

She knew all eyes were on them.

The spotlights were on them as the family reunited.

“Of course, Adam, baby. Your mother is welcome to join us. Right sweetheart?” Trishia was acting like so lovable stepmother in front of everyone but inside she was cursing the boy and Arabella.

These two should vanish from her life or they would ruin her life.

They were a threat to her happy wealthy life.

“Thank you, Aunt Trishia.” Adam seriously spoke filled with gratitude in his expression.

Arabella looked at Trishia who was wearing her fake smile.

She could not forget how Trishia set her up seven years ago at this same party.

Trishia could manipulate Adam’s mind but Arabella could never fall into the same trap again.

Trishia’s kindness is fake and even Bill Sky was deceived by it.

It was just for everyone’s eyes and gathering appreciation.

A desperate attention seeker.

Arabella smirked at Trishia, “Thank you,” She uttered to Trishia also showing her gratitude to Bill’s new wife.

With an empty expression, Arabella met Trishia’s pretentious eyes.

They stared at each other for quite some time secretly mocking each other through their eyes.

“Bill… son, Mr. Garett is looking for you.” Kelly strode in front of them as she called Bill in a hurry.

“Oh, look who is here? Bill why is this woman here?” Kelly broke the tense atmosphere upon seeing Arabella.

Arabella didn’t want to disrespect Kelly so she gracefully bowed down to pay her respect to her Aunt Kelly.

“Mom, Adam invited her.” Bill quickly answered trying to stay her mom calm.

Trishia smiled wickedly because of Kelly’s presence.

She didn’t need to shoo Arabella away because Kelly would do that for her.

Earlier,

“Mom, I need to talk to you,” Earlier before Trishia went to Bill, she went first to Kelly who was busy talking to some businessmen.

"What is it, darling Trishia?” Kelly asked almost whispering.

“Mom, this is so awkward, Arabella Jones, is here with Adam.” Trishia looked so pitiful.

Kelly hurriedly excused herself from the group. “What? That woman? How dare her!” How Kelly sounded hysterically, gave Trishia overwhelming satisfaction.

“Mom, what should I do? People will see her as Bill’s ex-wife and I am…” Trishia sounded like she was in full trouble.

“Shhh… Trishia, remember that you are the new wife and she is just the ex-wife. Leave it to me, dear. I will make sure that my son would get rid of her at this party.” Kelly promised and went back to the group to completely excuse herself.

Trishia was left smiling wickedly.

Before this party ends, Arabella Jones would regret attending the party.

Trishia then hurriedly went to Bill.

“Bill, did you forget what this girl did seven years ago at this party, huh? And did you even forget that she is the reason why your father…” Kelly strode closer as she scolded her son.

Her eyeballs were bulging looking mockingly at Arabella whose head was staying low.

“Grandmother…” Adam was trying to say something but was hurriedly shut by Kelly.

“Adam, you didn’t know anything. Can you just bring that woman outside now?” Kelly was sounding harsh and angry.

Arabella held Adam's shoulder. Adam looked at his mother who was also looking at him with her head low. She nodded at him like she was sending a message to him not to fight with his grandmother or not to talk back to her.

Adam quickly got the message from his mother so he lowered his gaze.
