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

“Why are you so good to me?” For six years, she had not asked this question. She was just very thankful for everything that Damien came to her life and saved her.

“Do I have to tell you? Isn’t that obvious?” William’s forehead lines deepened. He was looking at her so deeply.

“Hmmm… Forget about it.” Arabella felt the sudden awkwardness in the air. She should have not asked him as she was not ready for his answer.

“I love you.” With a deep serious voice, Damien expressed. He seemed ready to let everything out. Six years is enough for him to take the courage to confess his feelings.

“Damien.” Arabella was stupefied.

Her eyes met him.

This was the only time she stared at Damien’s eyes. She felt something different that she couldn’t clearly decipher. It was an extreme familiarity but she couldn’t jolt a bolt out of the blue.

How could she be so blind?

No. She’s not.

She was just shocked by the sudden love confession.

What’s with the night that Damien had felt the sudden urge to confess?

“You don’t need to answer me now.” Damien averted first his gaze and he started the engine again.

Arabella remained silent. The palpable awkwardness in the air surged up and had no plan to leave.

Is she ready for love?

After all her bad experiences in the past, is she had the capability to love?

The traumatizing experience made her heart hardened like a rock.

She had cursed love a long time ago.

She didn’t want to feel any pain anymore brought by it.

She already closed that chapter of her life where she dreamt of marrying the person she loves.

And Damien knew everything about it.

Is it time for her to open it again?

Ever since Damien was very good to her and Adam. His treatment of Adam was like his true biological father and Adam liked him a lot. Without asking for anything in exchange, he always got her back. She even promised before that whatever Damien wanted from her, she would grant it without any hesitation. This way, she could pay him for everything he had done for her and Adam.

If she’s going to have another man in her life, that would be Damien.

Now that he wanted her love, could she really give it to him?

The question bothered her a lot and she couldn’t find the answer elsewhere in her mind. All she knew, without Damien in her life, she’s probably dead a long time ago.

All she knew, she didn’t want to lose him in her life but she didn’t want to be unfair to him.

“Damien, let’s have dinner tomorrow.” Arabella had the whole night to think about it. She already had the answer in her mind but she was still unsure about it. Maybe a whole silent night would make a difference.

Damien looked at her with some glint of hopes in his eyes.

“Sure.” He smiled sweetly.

The silence invaded once again inside the car. It was too different from the normal.
