You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 92

Arabella was so amazed with the mansion’s elegant interior. The trademark of a billionaire was screaming inside the mansion. The shiny polished woods and bricks were at their finest and high qualities. In the corner was a chimney and the lightings were warm that reserved the coziness of the place.

She thought that she already had entered all the rooms in the house, but still, she could not find Bill.

Just when she accidentally tripped a button on the brick wall.

The wall automatically slid to the side, revealing a stairway down to the basement. In every step, the pathway lit until she reached a huge door that was slightly open. From her position, she could hear some noise coming out through the open.

It made her more curious and strode towards the room. From the small opening, she sneaked to see what’s inside only to find out that the room was dim.

Bill was sitting on a leather chair and he was seriously watching on the big screen in front of him.

The room was like his own theater room.

Though it’s dark, she could still see how big this room through the light coming from the big screen. She could only see Bill’s broad back and she couldn’t stop thinking why this room was secretly located in a basement.

‘Did he come here just to watch a movie?’

‘Why did he have to bring me here?’

‘Definitely, he had no time to dispatch her on the road.’ Herself refuted.

With a curious expression, she averted her gaze to the big screen.

For some reason, she felt delighted with the random pictures and videos showed on it.

There was a cute little boy and an old man.

They were like very happy being together in every picture.

The little boy’s handsome face had a mere resemblance to the old man.

She could easily tell that the cute little boy was Bill and the old man was his grandpa.

Her hand subconsciously touched her belly. She seemed to see the actual face of her baby when he grows up.

Wanting to see more, Arabella tip toed and got inside silently. She sat on the other leather chair nearest the door.

“My boy, look! These are the materials I prepared for my gift in your birthday. This is just a wood, I know! I just got it outside. You may think it has no value, but I want to let you know that, happiness is not measured on expensive things.” The old nobleman cheerfully said in a recorded video.

Then the noble old man carved the wood in the video. His face was very sincere and optimistic to come up with a good creation. He was very skillful that in just a little while, he did make a wooden robot out of it.

“Tadaahhh…. The simplest thing can give you great happiness.” The noble old man added when he finally finished the wooden robot. His noble face was full of satisfaction and happiness. His happiness was a mere reflection of his achievement by making up a good gift from a piece of wood that he just saw in the forest while he was hunting.

“I am so excited to give this to you. I hope you will like it. I know you will conquer the world soon. I don’t have any doubt of that! But do not ever forget to live a happy life. The life that you wanted not the life that others wanted you to be. Promise me that.”

“I love you, my boy!” He added cheerfully showing his wooden toy robot in the video.

This was supposed to be his grandpa’s gift to him in his sixth birthday, but his grandpa died the day before his birthday.

It was the most tragic part of his life.

That was the day he first broke his heart.

Bill was just five at that time, but the heartbreak he had felt was trapped in the deepest part of his being.

The supposed to be a children's birthday party became a wake of his loving grandfather. His grandfather seemed to know that he would die before his birthday since he brought his gift wrapped with blue and red ribbon the day before he passed away but Bill opened the gift exactly in his birthday.

He was so happy to see his toy robot personally made by his grandpa yet the sadness he felt was incurable for losing his best friend and the only man who spoiled him a lot. He had a very hard time to believe and accept that his grandpa wasn’t with him anymore. For so many nights, he cried in his sleep and woke up lonely and no appetite to eat.

With his grandpa, he felt so much alive as he could do everything what the normal kids do. But after, he was only left with a wooden toy robot and his spontaneous words of wisdom together with their good memories together.

Though he was so young at that time, he clearly remembered everything and valued every single memory of his grandfather.

After the loosing of his grandpa, Bill didn’t celebrate his birthday anymore. He mourned every year and he never missed to visit his grandpa’s grave in his every birthday. The toy robot he cherished the most, was carefully put into a glass display container in his room.

Until one day, he entered his room with shattered pieces of glass on the floor together with his broken toy robot. The head, arms and legs were detached from the main part of the body.

His heart was broken again for the second time.

This was because of one little girl. A trouble maker girl who deliberately went in his room and destroyed his most treasured toy. That was the only toy in his life made by his late grandfather, but the girl was cruel.

She destroyed everything.

Jane Foster.

Arabella Jones.

Bill clenched his fists in anger. If he had a favorite place in the world, it was his late grandpa’s mansion. If everything turned so tiring in the city, he traveled about 3 hrs. just to recharge in the mansion. Every time he went there, he always spent the time watching his beautiful memories with his grandpa, but every time he saw the toy robot, his anger on Arabella always welled up.

“Hmph..Hmph..” A weeping cry was heard in the room that made Bill snapped back to his senses.

He quickly pressed the button to open the lights and turned around only to see the woman who he hated the most sitting at the back. With bursting fury, he stood up and dragged her up immediately.

“Out!” Bill was enraged that he shouted very loud.

Arabella shivered in fear. She didn’t know why he was so angry with her when she just sat and watch the big screen quietly. She didn’t mean to distract him, but she could not help to cry when she heard the loving message of his late grandfather.
