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

“Adam, are you bluffing to avoid your punishment?” Arabella was trying to calm herself but deep inside she was already in a mess. Adam never used such lame excuses for his wrongdoings.

But it’s impossible!

They were ten times fold away from capital Z.

She tried all her best to hide from the crowd and cameras in the concert and yet, Adam here was telling he saw his father.

He saw him.

How’s that possible?

Unless fate would play a trick on her again.

No way!

Arabella was deliriously fighting against her mind and refusing to believe Adam’s words. She was already unconsciously wringing her hands on the steering wheel as she wanted to scream to get rid of her agitation.

“Forget about it, mom. Maybe I am wrong or I am right. I don’t know. It doesn't matter.” Without any clue that her mom was already freaking out secretly, Adam replied with an upset tone beneath his breath.

“Did you already apologize to your Aunt Lira?” To avert the topic, Arabella asked trying to appease Adam and most importantly herself. She didn’t want Adam to dwell on his imagination and she was not ready to talk about his father especially with other people around.

Adam looked at his Aunt Lira and smiled naughtily.

“I am sorry Aunt Lira.” Adam paused. “But you still have to thank me though.” He murmured in a low voice.

Lira frowned but with a pleasant curiosity at him.

“Can you explain to me why I have to say thanks to you? You give me a fright!” Lira was smiling now but her brows clashed in the middle.

“Because of me, Uncle Damien had shown up. Duh….” Adam said it with a cute silly tone.

Lira blushed instantly. She didn’t know how to reply

She couldn’t believe what she heard from Adam and she didn’t know how to answer him.

How did a five-year-old boy know it?

Is she really that obvious?

She couldn’t imagine what Adam had witnessed as she always sneaked a look at Damien’s house from time to time hoping to see him through his glass window.

“Adam, that’s enough. It’s not Aunt Lira’s night. It’s yours.” Arabella came to Lira’s rescue. Her son was a smart boy and he didn’t need to put much effort to know his Aunt Lira’s feelings for his Uncle Damien.

“Sorry, mom, and sorry Aunt Lira.” This time, Adam cooed with sincerity. Admittedly, he was really wrong this time. Looking outside the window, Adam remembered the man he met.

He also wondered what he was doing?

Where did he go?

Why is his name the same as his father's?

The man wasn’t friendly but he let him dined with him.

The man didn’t talk but he let him stay with him.

Is he really his father?

But her mom’s expression said it’s impossible.

Adam gave up the case and lifted his shoulder then he dropped it down while releasing an ample air.

Sneaking her son in the rear-view mirror, Arabella felt her heart was clenched. She knew Adam was bothered by something.

“Adam, are you all right my son?” Arabella saw her son’s gloominess while his gaze was outside.

“I’m fine mom. I just felt tired.” Adam replied and closed his eyes. He really felt tired as his little mind was thinking about the man.
