You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 467

Slowly, Arabella looked at Bill with a saddened look. 

She didn’t expect that Bill would let go of her hand. 

Did he already decide that quickly? 

He let go of her just like that without any hesitation.

Arabella's heart clenched so hard and her knees weakened. 

She had to gather her composure otherwise she would break down there uncontrollably.

Feeling that Bill was going to leave her and he would choose his mom over her, she could not breathe easily. 

Why she even questioned that? 

Who would choose someone over his mother? 

Why she was expecting that much? 

With her thoughts, she felt like a fool. 

It was just so funny that she was expecting Bill would choose her. 

Somehow, she felt a bit of satisfaction that Bill chose his mother. 

She would never wish to hurt Kelly even though Kelly hated her so much. 

She never hated her though Kelly kept on blaming her for the death of her husband. 

Arabella understood her but, of course, she was just a human too, she felt hurt but she never held grudges toward Kelly Sky. 

Arabella even prayed that the time would come when Kelly could open her heart to her again. 

She missed her aunt Kelly. 

She was very good to her before and she looked up to her as her second mother. 

Arabella still believed that their relationship still had hope only if Kelly would learn to forgive her but the big question is when and how?

Kelly was full of hatred toward her and seeing her hysterical action at the moment, Arabella’s hope was slowly fading away. 

Still, Arabella wished and held a single glimpse of hope for their relationship to be fixed. 

“If you choose her, I will not come back to this house and you will never see me again!” Kelly shouted angrily. 

She was so desperate to get Bill’s answer after all she was his mother. 

She wanted to punish her son for taking her words for granted. 

As Bill let go of Arabella’s hand, he calmly strode forward to Kelly leaving Arabella behind. 

With her flushed face due to immense anger, Kelly looked at Bill so desperate to hear his answer. 

She was expecting that Bill would give her a positive answer. 

Then, Bill held his mom’s shoulder. 

His eyes were serious looking at his mother. 

“Mom…” He sounded so serious complimenting his stern expression. “Don’t you want me to be happy?” Bill asked frowning. 

His eyes were fixated on Kelly. 

Questioning and determined to hear a good answer from his mother. 

After all, he is her son and no mother didn't want her son to be happy. 

Obviously, Bill was looking for that kind of a mother.

Kelly was stunned. 

She knew her son's eyes very well. “Son, listen to me. I am your mother! I know what’s good for you and I am doing this for your own sake. Just listen…” Kelly bombarded him so desperate to get her son’s side but then Bill was quick to cut her. 

“Mom!” His voice was deep and it was obvious that he was controlling his temper for the sake of his mother. “I love her,” Bill confessed simply yet firmed.

Hearing Bill’s words, the sad Arabella was taken aback while Kelly was stunned. 

Kelly didn’t like what he was hearing from Bill and it made her more livid. 

She could not forgive Arabella until her death for what she had done to her husband and son. 

Without any warning, “Pakkk!!!” A loud slap sound echoed in the room. 

Kelly suddenly slapped Bill so hard. 

His cheek instantly turned crimson due to his mother’s blow but he allowed her. 

Bill allowed Kelly to hit him and it seemed he would allow her to hit him again and again just to pacify her. 

Just for her to accept his relationship with Arabella. 

Just for her to accept Arabella and stop blaming her. 

Just for her to love Arabella again. 

Bill would take all his mom’s anger for Arabella and he was willing to be his mother’s punching bag rather than her hitting Arabella. 

“If this will make you happy, then hit me, mom. Just stop hurting the woman I love.” Bill touched his burning cheek calmly as he sounded again with a stern and firm voice. 

His domineering poise was there but Kelly took her anger to another level.

Though his cheek turned flushed, his handsomeness never lessened even a bit. 

Arabella was happy with Bill’s action. 

She was grateful and so touch by Bill’s guts to go against his mom and for standing up for her. 

He defended her and protect her from his mom but undeniably, there was a heaviness on her shoulders and heart. 

She never wanted them to be like this. 

“You dare to choose that woman? You change because of that woman! What about the company, huh? That’s our family’s legacy and that is your legacy! Are you still going to be happy when you wake up someday that everything your hard work was destroyed because of that woman?!” Kelly roared angrily as she pointed at Arabella behind. 

Her veins popped up on her neck due to excessive shouting while her eyeballs bulged.

Arabella was stunned again. 

Her heartbeat was racing so fast. 

She didn’t know about Bill’s company and why Kelly was mentioning this. 

Is there a problem with Bill’s company? 

He never mentioned it to her. 

Is this about the bombing happened on the Sky Corporation’s anniversary?

 Is his company was greatly affected by it? 

Arabella felt the urge to know about it. 

She could not find her calm and wanted to know all the answers to her questions immediately. 

She could not just watch Bill setting aside his problem in front of her. 

If her thoughts were right, she was sure that Bill was sad and he kept everything to himself. 

She didn’t like it.

 Arabella wanted to comfort Bill. 

She wanted to help him. 

She wanted to be there for him and would not leave his side like what he did to her. 

“If I have to choose between my legacy and her, I will not hesitate to choose Arabella, mom,” Bill answered Kelly firmly. 

His eyes were deep and had a sense of strong determination.

“Are you insane?” Kelly shouted in disbelief and anger. 

She never thought that Bill would say it and the fact that he was choosing a woman over his company was a hell of a joke to her. 

Bill’s life is his company so there’s no way she could believe his words. 

She could never accept Arabella Jones.

“That is my final decision, mom.” Bill seriously answered Kelly amidst her extreme anger. 

He was meeting his mom’s furious eyes as he seemed to be ready to take her mom's punishment.

“Pak!!!” Another loud slap sound echoed in the area. 

Kelly was so disgusted and pissed with Bill’s decision and not only that, she could not accept his decision as she knew her son well. Whatever he decided, he would stand for it. 

He was the type of man with one word and no one could make amendments to it. 

His words were irrevocable especially when he had given his decision.  

On the side, Arabella was petrified. 

She didn’t want Kelly to hurt her son. 

She wanted to stop the chaos immediately but she didn’t have enough guts as her feet were still not cooperating. 

She wanted to cool everyone down but her knees softened. 

She wanted to defend Bill and Kelly to Bill but her speech seemed to run out of her. 

Arabella clenched her fists hard to muster up her courage but by the time she was determined to pacify the situation, Bill had grabbed her and dragged her away leaving Kelly alone with a despising look at her. 

She could not blame Kelly as she was a mother. 

Her son had chosen a woman over her. 

With her thoughts, she could not help to feel pity for Kelly.

Arabella swore that she would find ways to reconcile the mother and the son as soon as possible.

She and her family would not be completely happy without Kelly's acceptance of her.

For Bill and Adam, Arabella was determined to 

Shortly, Bill put Arabella inside the passenger seat of his sports car. 

Arabella was silent and could not find her calm.
