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

Chapter 332: Mr. Heather

Dinner time had arrived.

Adam could not make it because his tummy ached after eating too many mangoes earlier. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Ginger's family doctor stayed in Adam's room to monitor the child's condition.

Though it was all well, Arabella let the doctor stay.

Plus, the house little buddy was tired from the long drive and playing ball with the ranch's boys.

Meanwhile, Arabella was not in the mood to go.

There was no reason for her to attend the dinner if it weren't for Ginger who was so nice to her.

Ginger was inviting her to dinner and she could not resist her as she even brought her to the main

family mansion.

They went to her room and lend her a new set of luxury clothes she bought abroad.

Well for her, it was better to be Ginger rather than Bill.

After their conversation in the room, she already avoided him.

She had to find her calm to still played the role of being a loving mother to Adam's father.

Adam would surely be disappointed if she could not hold her temper and fight against his father.

"There you go! Wow! You are so beautiful, Arabella!" Ginger was too astonished by her masterpiece.

She did Arabella's make-up and was very proud of her outcome.

Arabella was a natural beauty and she didn't need to wear heavy make-up to conquer the eyes of her

audience.

Arabella looked at herself in the mirror wearing a simple smile.

Ginger didn't know that she was an expert in this field.

She loved to beautify people and she made money from her make-up skills.

Just not to disappoint Ginger, she didn't mention it.

"You too, Ginger! You are very gorgeous!" Arabella praised her back.

"Are you sure?" Ginger looked at Arabella with round curious eyes.

"You know what? I have a lot of suitors abroad but when I met Bill, oh my gosh! I'm like I'm going crazy.

I started to question myself if I'm beautiful enough. I want to be beautiful in his eyes always." Ginger

shyly confessed.

Her expression was shy but she was determined to hook up with Bill Sky.

Hearing Ginger, Arabella could not help but mocked Bill in her heart.

"Do you like Bill that much?" Arabella was so curious about Ginger's feelings.

Ginger was good to her, unlike Bill's other women who wanted to kill her just to get Bill Sky when in fact

she didn't own Bill and she didn't have any plan of owning him.

"Oh, common sis, how could you ask that? What eyes do you have? Bill Sky? The mighty Bill Sky?

Even abroad, he was every woman's dream." Ginger answered with sparkled eyes.

Arabella underestimated Ginger's affection toward Bill, Ginger was head over heels for him.

"Oh..." That was the only thing Arabella uttered.

If only she was the type of woman who could backstab someone for Ginger to be discouraged and not

pursue her feelings but Arabella was not the type.

She rather listened than say bad things to other people.

"Arabella, maybe you can help me with Bill. Maybe... his favorite food? His favorite book? Music? The

brand of his favorite scent?" Ginger sounded excitedly like a teenager who had a crush on the captain

player of their university.

Arabella knew it.

Ginger was very eager to have their chit-chat moment so she could ask for all of Bill's information.

For Arabella, it didn't matter as Ginger was very nice to her.

"Ahmmm..." Arabella didn't know what to say.

How would she possibly answer Ginger when she didn't even know.

She was with him before but she had no interest in getting to know him well as their relationship could

be compared to a cat and a dog.

"I don't know." She added with an uneasy expression.

"Don't get me wrong but are you the nanny of Adam?" Ginger was a bit shy about her question. "I'm

just curious what is it like living with Bill under one roof." She added trying to avoid misinterpretation.

Again, Arabella didn't know what to say.

It seemed Ginger didn't do any research about her.

It was understandable that Bill's personal life was discreet to everyone as he had an expert team who

shut down all the news relevant to his private life.

"How did you apply for that position? Did Bill choose you personally? But ...you are married to my

classmate, Eric, right? Gosh! Eric is a billionaire! How could he let you be a nanny for Bill's son? Or are

you already a nanny before you meet Eric? Is there something I missed?" Ginger seemed to have no

plan to finish her interrogation.

Arabella felt a bit awkward with the direction of their conversation.

The topic was not just for her.

She could not answer all of Ginger's questions because she didn't want to lie.

If not for Bill, she would not lie to Adam.

Her guilt still couldn't recover and now she would make another lie to answer all of Ginger's questions.

That was already absurd!

Bill was really putting her in a difficult situation.

"Ginger... Adam is my ...." Arabella could not handle it. She didn't want to lie anymore and decided to

tell the truth but she was cut by a knock on the door.

"Ms. Heather, your father is already in the venue.' A voice of a man was heard.

"Oh... Thank you, butler Louie." Ginger answered politely. "I guess we have to go. My father is not good

at waiting." Ginger quickly held Arabella's hand and she dragged her out. They walked in a hurry.

Arabella sensed that Ginger was quite scared of her dad.

She could feel his nervousness while they were walking to a huge garden.

When they arrived, Arabella saw a long table filled with different meals.

They were dressed in a colorful presentation.

They were really cooked at their best.

The fruits and vegetables look very fresh.

They were freshly picked.

Then her eyes landed on a dignified man who was sitting at the edge of the long table.

His heavy expression could instantly change the atmosphere.

"Good evening dad.," Ginger quickly hugged and kissed him on the forehead.

That was the time Bill arrived with his always gorgeous-looking persona.

His hair was fixed clean on the side.

His face was neatly shaved.

What a good-looking man.

He was wearing a royal blue shirt paired with white pants.

No necktie and coat just casual but one could easily say that he is the VIP.

Arabella looked at him and Bill looked at her.

Arabella was wearing a black v-neck sleeveless knee-high dress embracing her curves.

Ginger was generous enough to hand her a new dress she just bought abroad.

She was alluring and no one could resist her beauty, especially tonight.

"Oh, Bill. You arrived on time." Ginger instantly noticed Bill.

Her eyes fancied the handsome man in front of her.

"Good evening, Mr. Heather." Bill went to give his hand to the man who was steadily sitting just looking

plainly at them.

Mr. Heater was kind enough to shake Bill's hand. "Finally, Mr. Bill Sky..." The man uttered his name

meaningfully. His tone was strict.

"Dad, meet also Arabella. Mr. Sky's son's nanny." Ginger sounded pulling Arabella to her father.

Arabella forced herself to smile though she felt very awkward.

She didn't belong there and she was not included in that event but it was too late.

She could not escape anymore.

"Good evening. Mr. Heather. Arabella... Arabella Jones." She said politely shaking Mr. Heatner's hand.

"Such a beautiful woman for a nanny." Mr. Heather commented. His eyes were also meaningful.

Arabella tried her best to smile in response to Mr. Heather's compliment.

"Okay, take your seat everyone. The business can wait but the food can't." Mr. Heather sounded stern.

The garden was quite cozy and the fresh air was very relaxing but the atmosphere seemed filled with

tension.

Arabella could feel Mr. Heather's indifference.

Ginger was also a bit disturbed.

Bill was just in his usual emotionless expression.

Now, she really regretted coming to the table.

She should have stayed in the villa or refused Ginger's invitation.

It seemed Mr. Heather would give Bill Sky a problem.

He seemed not easy to persuade.

The servants were serving them wine.

No one was talking.

It was very quiet until someone came in.

"Good evening, everyone. My apology for being late." Victor sounded in a loud energetic voice.

This time he wore a stripe polo shirt and denim pants.

"Victor, didn't you know the time for dinner?" Mr. Heather commented displeased seeing his son arrive

late.

"Dad, relax. I had some important matter to attend to." Victor answered. He seemed used to having his

dad’s temper in control.

“What is more important than your family?” Mr. Heather asked frowning. His tone was displeased.

Arabella could feel the tension in the air surging up.

Ginger lowered her head obviously she was humiliated by her family and Bill was just calm. He was the

most relaxed in the place.

“Dad, I’m hungry. Food can’t wait.” Just to kill the tension between him and his dad, Victor jokingly

sounded then he went to sit down beside Bill.

Before he sat down properly, he saw Arabella and he winked at her.

Mr. Heather opted to keep silent and he continued his eating.

“Bill, I haven’t introduced you two properly. This is my younger Victor.” Ginger said shyly.

“Victor.” Victor sounded as he tapped Bill’s shoulder. A complete opposite of Ginger, Victor behaved

casually.

Bill just nodded at Victor.

“What a wonderful night to dine in with a beautiful visitor.” Suddenly Victor mumbled looking at

Arabella.

Hearing him, everyone’s eyes landed on him.

Arabella looked at Victor uneasy.

Ginger was a bit humiliated by her brother’s vocal admiration while Bill had the sharpest eyes.

“Victor, you are making my friend here, shy. I’m sorry Arabella. My brother seemed to admire you a lot

and he is a bit of like that.” Ginger rolled her eyes at Victor giving him a warning.

“It’s… fine.” Arabella felt she had to say something to kill the awkwardness.

“Thanks a lot. I’m just appreciating beauty. What’s wrong with that my dear sister?” Victor defended

himself jokingly until something banged on the table creating a loud sound. Mr. Heather put his knife

and spoon on the table loudly.

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

Mr. Heather acted normal then he said, “Can we continue eating now?”

No one answered him but everyone followed quickly.

From that moment, everyone ate in silence.

Ginger and Victor stopped bickering.

Mr. Heather was not the man who was easy to get along with which made Arabella wonder how Bill

would pursue him.

After a while, the dinner went well.

The servants were quick to clean up the table and put wines in their cups and mix fruits and cheese on

the table.

Now it was time for the business meeting.

Arabella just wanted to leave.

For her, it was Bill and Ginger’s matter and she didn’t want to get involved.

Listening to them there would be just a waste of time.

She didn’t want to hear anything.

She didn’t want to witness how Bill courted Ginger’s father.

Just thinking about this made her a nuisance.

She just wanted to flee but how?

Knowing Mr. Heather’s character, she just didn’t want him to be misinterpreted.

“Mr. Sky, Mr. Bill Sky, it seemed you are very willing to get what you wanted.” Mr. Heather started the

conversation.

Bill was sipping his wine calmly.

His slender fingers were holding the wine glass elegantly.

One could easily say that he was used to dealing with such matters.

His expression was unreadable.

On the other hand, Arabella was uneasy with Mr. Heather’s words as her mind went wild again this

time.

Her thoughts were exploding because it was a lot in her mind.

Undoubtedly, Bill always gets what he wanted and that long drive was nothing to him.

Arabella could feel her heart clenched with her thoughts.

“That just shows how I work things out,” Bill answered briefly. His tone carried formality.

Mr. Heather nodded after hearing Bill. “With all the praises you got all over the world, there’s no doubt

about that.” Mr. Heather seemed to hear a lot about Bill Sky. Obviously, he did his research. “However,”

He added with a meaningful tone. “Can you give me a reason why I am going to give my own to you?”

Arabella didn’t know why but she felt so intense and nervous about the topic of their conversation.

She could not breathe.

To get rid of her situation, she focused on drinking.

She could not deny that the wine on the farm was really good.

It was the most soothing wine she had tasted.

“Resources. As promised, everything here will be taken care of.” Bill answered eloquently.

Mr. Heather nodded absorbing his answer.

He knew he didn’t say more.

The Sky Corporation offered him tripled amount to get his land.

“Mr. Sky, do you have a family of your own?” Mr. Heather suddenly asked meaningfully which made

everyone surprised.

Even Bill’s collect persona was a bit stunned by Mr. Heather’s question.

Though he was stunned, he quickly recovered as he knew Mr. Heather was going to pinpoint

something.

“Do you have a wife?” Mr. Heather added. He was unreadable.

Arabella almost spewed the wine out of her throat.

She knew she should not be hearing their conversation but what could she do. S

he was there with them.

However, her ears were patiently waiting and very curious for Bill’s answer.

There was a deafening silence for a moment.

“I have.” Bill suddenly answered briefly in a serious tone.
