You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 460

In the afternoon, Arabella was already discharged from the hospital.

Arabella and Adam together with Bill’s men went directly to Bill’s main mansion after the dismissal.

Bill offered her to transfer to the big mansion so she could be with Adam.

Of course, who would not want to accept it?

They were talking about her son, Adam.

She was longing for this for a very long time.

Now, Arabella was overwhelmed with happiness being with her son in the mansion.

Not only that, she could be with Adam every day just like before.

This mansion was the biggest one which had a huge driveway, a wide lawn, and the huge tallest gate she had seen.

Judging from the level of security, elegance, and its whole atmospheric ambiance, Arabella could tell that it was Bill's main home because if not, he would not probably let his son live there.

This was where Adam lived before he went to study abroad with his grandmother, Kelly.

This was also where Bill abandoned her outside.

There were memories of her in this mansion but Arabella decided to shoo away those bad memories and retain those happy ones.

Anyway, it was always been a choice for you to make if you want to dwell on bad memories or choose to be happy and even happier every day.

“Son… Do you know where your dad is at this time?” It was dinner time but Bill still didn’t arrive.

She wanted to call him so badly but she didn’t want to appear like an overthinker and possessed wife who was tracking her husband non-stopped at night when he wasn’t around.

Arabella didn’t want Bill to think of her that way.

Besides, she was the one who asked Bill for a new start and start their relationship as friends.

They had to get along well first and that being said, it just meant getting to know well with each other first.

She was the one who decided to label their relationship as a friend so, no matter what, she had no right to complain about her situation and maybe Bill didn’t call her to inform his whereabouts because of their relationship status.

He wasn’t obliged to report his whereabouts to a friend or didn’t feel the urge to do it because she was just his friend.

“Mom, if you are too concerned about dad, maybe you have to call him.” Adam seemed to read her expression as he sounded cute.

His eyes sparkled like he was obviously teasing his mom.

Hearing Adam, Arabella blushed uncontrollably but tried to quickly cover up.

She didn’t want Adam to tease her and get easily affected by it especially when it comes to his father.

“Hmmm… Nah, I am just curious.” She exclaimed trying to shake off her blushing cheeks.

“Mom, dad came late sometimes when his work required him to,” Adam blurted out like he was used to his dad’s absence during dinner.

Arabella could not help felt pity for her son. “So, is this frequent? So, you mean you are always having dinner alone?” Arabella asked with a troubled voice.

She didn't want to think that if she wasn't there, Adam was eating alone at a very long table.

What a pity!

And Bill chose his work over spending time with his son.

Dinner time is so important for a family, especially her growing boy.

Arabella could help but instantly felt disappointed with Bill but then Adam rescued his father as he spoke pacifying her mom.

“Nah… It’s not always like that, mom. Dad always comes for dinner.” Adam announced cutely with his sweet smile.

Arabella heaved a sigh as she let go of the unnecessary things in her mind.

It was a big relief to her that Bill was a responsible dad for Adam and she could see it through Adam’s well-being.

He had gotten along well with his father.

Maybe letting Adam live with his father was a great decision.

After all, Bill seemed to be a responsible father judging how Adam defended him.

“Shall I call dad for you mom?” Adam asked as he smirked cutely.

“Nah… no need! How did you become so naughty, huh?” Arabella quickly refused as she joked with Adam to avoid the awkwardness.

She would never call him even though she really wanted to hear his voice.

She missed him already and that’s a fact.

“Just eat and we are going to watch a movie. How about a load of cheese popcorn after, huh?” Arabella was happy to be with Adam and see his eyes sparkle after her offer.

With Adam, she couldn’t ask for more.

She felt at home with her son and Bill was an extra.

She didn’t know where they would start but she felt easy now.

Her heart was light and couldn’t feel any pressure.

Arabella knew it was the right decision for now.

As long as she could be with Adam, there was nothing more she could ask for.

She was more than satisfied.

“I like that, mom!” Adam answered and they continued their catching up and eating together while laughing tremendously over their past happy experience.

On the other hand, Bill was staring at his phone.

He stared there for almost an hour now.

He was waiting for something or it was right to say that he was waiting for someone.

The sound of the ticking wall clock reminded him that he was already spent too much time waiting for that someone but it didn't bother him.

He still wanted to wait for more and more until that someone's name appeared on his phone's screen.

Bill deliberately stayed late as he wanted to play a little trick with Arabella.

The word ‘friend’ bugged his mind the whole day and he could still not believe her decision.

For a domineering person and overconfident man like him, it was out of his league.

Accepting Arabella's decision wasn't a favorable thing for him and he found it very weird or a nonsense one.

After all, they experienced, he was expecting the glory of everything but Arabella had already decided.

For the first time, he would try to value her opinion and decision as he knew this would end up so soon.

Arabella would come to him and she would take away her decision willingly.

Tonight, Bill was waiting for her call but she didn’t.

She never bothered or she was stopping herself not to be embarrassed.

Either way, Bill had to find out.

He was already satisfied that Arabella decided to stay in his place with him and Adam.

He just couldn’t touch her and that was the main reason he was now in a dilemma.

He could not promise when he could hold his urge whenever she was around.

Maybe he just had to focus on his work and do overtime in his office.

Just maybe… he could avoid the urge and nasty things in his head that he wasn’t used to hiding and holding.

“Arabella…. If this is what you want. I’m gonna play with your stubborn game until you give up and come to me with your own will.” Bill muttered in the air as he smirked challenged.

His eyes were meaningful looking at the screen of his phone.

The night was cold.

After the movie, Arabella put Adam to sleep.

Bill granted her demand to have her own room.

She liked it a lot.

It was a huge place and was all to her minimal taste.

She was like living in a seven-star hotel room.

The huge bed was so soft and she had a balcony where she could see the view of the city.

City lights were very colorful.

She wondered if people were still working this night.

Bill wasn’t still home and it was the first night she transferred to the mansion again.

He could at least be there to welcome her but he wasn’t.

He was still out there. She had no clue where and with whom.

Maybe he was in his office and still working at this time or maybe he was unwinding somewhere with someone.

With her sudden thoughts, Arabella could not help to feel sad.

It was going to be 12:00 am soon but she could not sleep.
