You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 322 : Who Truly Loves The Most

Meanwhile, in Adam's room, Arabella was sitting on the couch still wearing her white bathrobe. She just

finished taking the shower and she had no plan to show up outside and see Bill Sky again. To avoid

him, she planned to stay in Adam's room and wait for her son's comeback there. It would be a great

relief for her not to meet Bill Sky for a while.

Starting to get bored, Arabella got her phone and browsed the internet. The happiness in her heart was

still very overwhelming seeing her son again. It was too unexpected and she felt like she was still

dreaming. A magnificent dream indeed! Having Adam once again was the best feeling she could ever

have. With the thought of it, she wanted to surprise and give Adam something special but her mind was

too excited that she could buy all the things in the world if she would follow her thoughts so she

decided to browse the net for some possible gift ideas.

With the white teacup in her left hand and her mobile phone in her right hand, she opened the main

browser of her phone. Suddenly, she froze. The online headline was written in bold and big letters

which made it visible to capture the eyes of the online users.

JAYSON HANSEN WAS FOUND DEAD ON AN ABANDONED LAWN. THE SUSPECTS WERE

UNIDENTIFIED.

"Jayson!" She blurted out in the air with goosebumps instantly appearing all over her body. Her hand

was trembling tremendously. She wanted to put down her cup but her hand was not cooperating. The

air seemed to go colder as her body stiffened. Her mind was baffled. There's part of her that didn't want

to believe the news so she tried calling Jayson's number but it was out of reach. She didn't give up

dialing his number as she refused to accept it. Her mind was protesting the news. It could not be true!

Maybe they were just mistaken! It was really difficult to acknowledge as it was very sudden and she

could not believe Jayson's disastrous fate.

Even though they broke up a long time ago, Arabella treated Jayson like a brother. Even before, she

treated Jayson more like a family than a boyfriend. The news gave her a big shock as her heart was

clenched so hard that she was unable to breathe properly. Her heart was grieving for Jayson.

"Jayson, why? What happened? Why did you leave so soon?" Her eyes could not help releasing her

sorrowful tears. She was completely at a loss when someone knocked on her door. It made her snap

back to her senses. Arabella quickly wiped her tears but the red marks in her eyes were visibly seen.

One could easily say that she had been crying.

"Who's that?" If it was her house, she would probably say 'come in' but it was not, so she had to screen

some people as she had someone whom she didn't want to see.

"Mrs. Sky, This is old butler Hanford, Mr. Sky is requesting your presence in his study room." A polite

voice of a man came out behind the door.

Since Arabella was not in the mood to see and bicker with Bill Sky, she opted to turn down the

invitation, "Please tell him that I am busy." It was the only alibi that came to her mind first.

"Mrs. Sky, Mr. Sky wanted to inform you that it was an urgent matter. He clearly stated that it was about

Mr. Jayson Hansen." The butler replied in a detailed manner.

Upon hearing Jayson's name Arabella halted in the air. She could still feel her body trembling with

intense grief. It seemed Bill had read the news too. Arabella was just so curious about Bill's intention

and what it had to do with Jayson. So, she stood up and said, "Okay, I will come to him now. Thank

you."

After her words, she went directly to Bill without even noticing that she was still wearing her bathrobe.

Her mind was fully occupied with Jayson's death. Maybe Bill Sky had something to enlighten her.

Maybe he had some good news. Just after a minute, she reached Bill's study room. Standing outside,

she knocked on his door with a heavy heart.

"Come in." Bill's stern voice was heard. Arabella was trying to compose herself though she found it very

hard, she didn't care at all. She had the right to mourn as Jayson held a special part of her heart. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Arabella slowly entered the huge study room and she quickly saw Bill sitting on his president's chair.

Even if he was just wearing casual house clothes, he still looked elegant and intimidating. His cold eyes

met her red sad eyes.

"I..." Arabella uttered trying to compose herself. Having Bill Sky in the same room, the air seemed to

turn very cold. She wanted to check on Jayson but she didn't know how to inform him.

"5 minutes... We go together." Bill suddenly said like he read her mind.

Arabella looked at Bill in disbelief. She didn't know what to react or say but she felt satisfied with Bill's

words.

"Okay..." That was the only word she could utter then she left.

Bill's unreadable gaze accompanied Arabella's back on her way out.

Arabella went down before the agreed time. However, Bill was already in the car with his driver. He sat

at the back and Arabella was ushered by the butler in the same seat.

Upon entering the car, Arabella met Bill's unfathomable eyes, she nodded at him as a courtesy. Her

door closed and the driver swiftly drove away. Inside the car, the silence was deafening. It seemed the

two had nothing to say to each other or maybe they tried to suppress the things they had in mind and

kept them to themselves. It was also possible that the timing wasn't right. Jayson's sudden death was

just so outrageous. Arabella was still in deep shock.

The death of Jayson Hansen thunder struck the whole city and abroad but hence, the wake of him was

privately exclusive by Jayson's family's arrangement.

The car arrived at the wake's venue.

Bill got down first and Arabella followed. Her steps were slow like her feet were contemplating if she

would go inside and see Jayson inside his casket. Just thinking about this, her heart was clenched very

hard. With her head low, she tried to walk properly not to stumble and humiliate herself in front of

everyone. The trembling in her feet was surging up when she was about to enter the place. There were

people inside but her bloodshot eyes were only focused on the elegant brown coffin in front of her.

When she was already in the middle, Arabella stopped. She felt she wanted to go away. She could not

find her courage seeing Jayson in a casket. She wanted to turn around and just run away.

Then she heaved a heavy sigh. She was clenching her fists to stabilize herself and muttered in the air,

'You can do it, Arabella. For one last time... Be there for your brother, Jayson.' She closed her eyes

then released a heavy sigh again and continued walking forward.

Finally, she got a glimpse of her ex-lover Jayson.

"Jayson Hansen...." Arabella muttered in a low voice. Her tone carried immense dismay. She looked at

Jayson like he was sleeping peacefully and memories with him flashed across her mind.

Jayson's smile whenever he sees her was divine. He was always there for her. When they became

lovers after years of courting her, Jayson was very sweet, helpful, responsible, and protective. At that

time, she felt like having a big brother in school but then, the students on their campus wanted them to

be the perfect pair. They were always nominated for Mr. And Mrs. Northern Campus even on

Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, and other events on the campus they were always matched. It was

either they took part as partners in the said events. They even think that they were in a romantic

relationship because they were very close but they had nothing until their common friends made it work

for them.

She still remembered Jayson's smile and happiness when she said 'yes' to him. His eyes narrowed and

it was filled with sparks. Whenever they had to study for a long night, Jayson had always something for

her. Whenever she was hooked up on studying or she was chasing some deadlines, she had a habit to

skip meals but Jayson was always there to feed her. He fed her just for her not to skip meals. He would

not go home until she was already asleep. Sometimes, she just drove to her sofa and slept there but

Jayson always carried her inside her room and settled her on her bed properly before he go. In school,

he was always there to protect her. When someone wanted to kiss her for fun Jayson came to her

rescue. He got into a fight for her. He got bruises all over his face but he still managed to smile at her.

"I will always be there for you, babe."

That was always his tagline for her. Then he would kiss her forehead and give her a satisfying smile. A

smile that could sweep all her worries away.

Along with her memories with Jayson were all her tears. She could not suppress her sadness. She

cried without any care for the people around her like she was the only person left in the world.

"Why do you leave me?" She muttered sobbing. Her heart was aching so bad. Her tears were no sign

of stopping. She let all her tears out. Then she looked at Jayson's face again. His face was very

peaceful like he was just sleeping. Arabella wiped her tears then she held the glass of his casket.

"Thank you for all the memories, Jayson. Rest in peace, my friend." She muttered staring at Jayson

sincerely. After her words, she felt great relief when someone held her back.

Arabella slowly turned to see the person. Margaret was there and there was no doubt that she was

affected the most. Her expression was spiritless but she tried to smile at Arabella.

Arabella could not help but hugged Margaret. They had a catfight before but at this moment, they

needed to comfort each other. Arabella was thankful for Margaret as she was the one who never left

Jayson. She truly loved Jayson.

"Arabella, thank you for coming," Margaret whispered sincerely with swollen eyes.

"Of course. Jayson is a good friend to me." Arabella answered in a low voice. "I have to thank you for

loving him." She added with a comforting tone.

After hearing Arabella, Margaret sobbed. Her shoulder was heaving up and down. Arabella tapped

Margaret's shoulder. "I loved him but he never loves me but I don't regret loving him." Along with

Margaret's tears were her heartbreaking words.

"Arabella, Jayson loves you the most. He had no one else in his heart but you." Margaret spoke like

confessing but in a low comforting tone. "When you married Bill Sky, he was crushed. He never wanted

to surrender. I was there every night and I had to make sure that he got to his house safely because he

never missed a night getting wasted.

He was broken when you married Bill Sky. When you left the country, he never stopped finding you.

Arabella, you are the only woman Jayson wanted to marry. You are the only woman who he wanted to

live forever." On behalf of Jayson, Margaret felt she had to confess everything to Arabella without any

hatred towards her. It's been a long time since she already accepted the things that she could not

change with Jayson and Arabella. It was through her experience that she could confirm that there was

zero chance to get Arabella out of Jayson's heart. It seemed Arabella's name was pierced deeply in

Jayson's heart.

"Margaret... The person who truly loves the most is the one who never left amidst everything. And

that's you, Margaret. I know in Jayson's heart you are also there. He would not marry you if you are

nothing to him. Trust me, Margaret, I know him." Arabella's words were like enlightenment to Margaret.

There was something in Arabella that she trusted. Maybe because Jayson and Arabella had been

together for a long time. If there was someone who had known Jayson so much, it's Arabella.

Admittedly, she was just blinded by her jealousy and possessiveness that she had misinterpreted

Jayson.

Margaret's face lit up and hugged Arabella again.

"Madame is here."

"Mrs. Hansen had arrived."

The murmuring in the place got their attention as they turned around to see Jayson's mother.

Mrs. Hansen walked elegantly. She was carrying mixed emotions like grief and anger. The atmosphere

became very silent that even a drop of a pin could be heard.

Margaret and Arabella quickly nodded at her politely but the latter was not in a friendly stance to

accommodate them.

As the madame strode towards them, her furious eyes were on Arabella.

"How dare you come here?" The deafening silence broke instantly as Mrs. Hansen bombarded

Arabella without any care for the people surrounding them.

Arabella was stunned and so Margaret.

Mrs. Hansen pointed at Arabella like she was the culprit of her son's death. Margaret quickly went to

Mrs. Hansen to calm her down but she refused and got closer to Arabela. "You! You are the reason

why Jayson died! You dated him and give him chances then you dumped him! You are a b*tch! You

don't deserve my son." It seemed Mrs. Hansen just needed to have someone to blame for her son's

death. Seeing Arabella busted her anger as she witnessed his son's heartbreak with Arabella before.

The clamor had gone wild.

Arabella felt embarrassed but she refused to that someone to take the blame on as she had nothing to

do with Jayson's death.

"I am not..." Before she could finish, Mrs. Hansen lifted her hand to slap her but her hand never landed

on Arabella's face. Mrs. Hansen was very angry when she failed. With bulging eyeballs, she looked at

the person who caught her arm and her eyes opened wide.

"Mr. Bill Sky..." Mrs. Hansen uttered in shock. Who could not identify their greatest competitor who

could also put them down in just a blink of an eye?

Bill had a stern expression like someone had offended them. His eyes were strict looking at the

madame. With the billionaire's presence, the clamor went viral.

"Mr. Sky, why are you defending this woman?" Puzzled, Mrs. Hansen asked irritatingly but there was a

trace in her eyes that she didn't want to offend the man. The madame knew Bill Sky's capabilities very

well. Now that they didn't have a CEO, their company was in deep trouble.

Everyone's ears were focused on them as they were very eager to know Bill's answer.

"No one can hurt my wife," Bill announced in an autocratic voice.
