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

Chapter 250 : Rosy

"Who the hell are you?" The foxy woman shouted. She was beautiful but Arabella could see her inside

was not.

"I... I am Arabella Jones." Arabella answered with surging irritation. Why was the woman shouting at

her when they can talk politely and properly.

Who even she by the way?

After they got custody of Ivan, Eric wanted them to move to his country but she refused. For her, what if

Adam would go back? She could not afford to leave the country without her son. So Eric had no choice

but to stay in Capital Z but Arabella agreed to leave the country after they found Adam.

Living in Eric's mansion was a breather for her. She was the only lady in the mansion aside from a few

servants. The irritated woman in front of her was new to her sight but why was she acting like she

owned the house?

Is she Eric's sister?

A relative perhaps?

Now, her mind was in a deep mess.

She realized, she didn't know Eric and his life well.

She only had what he told her and the rest was a mystery as she was not nosy about someone's life.

"Arabella Jones?" The woman frowned deeper as she looked at Arabella from head to toe. Her right

eyebrow was in an upward direction as she twitched her lips on the side. "Who are you and why are

you here?" She asked with arrogance folding her arms up her chest.

Judging from the girl's intimidating attitude, Arabella had some bad thoughts about her.

She might have a close relationship with Eric.

If that was true, then she was really the trespasser in the house.

She had to behave and be polite to the woman even if her attitude wasn't good.

"Hmmm..." Arabella was about to give her answer to her honestly but she was cut.

"Rosy?" Ivan strode into the living room with his pajamas and his big rimmed eyeglasses. He stopped

beside a concrete post and tilted his body towards it folding his arms in front up his chest. " The

beautiful woman you are talking to is my mom," Ivan smirked cutely defending Arabella.

"Your mom?" Rosy frowned deeper.

Then when she realized she heard a joke, she chuckled.

How could it be? Ivan is parentless.

"Yes. She is my new mom." Ivan blurted with a serious tone.

Rosy pointed to Arabella with wide eyes then averted her gaze to Ivan.

Ivan smirked cutely unaffected by Rosy's reaction.

"Well actually, she is not just my mom but also my uncle Eric's wife." Ivan babbled lazily.

After Ivan's words, Rosy's chuckling stopped. She looked at Arabella and rolled her eyes. Then, she

laughed out loud.

She seemed not to believe Ivan or she heard the funniest joke in her life but she stopped seeing

Arabella's ring finger.

What she was wearing was Eric's mother's ring.

It was passed by his great grandmother and now the woman named Arabella Jones was wearing it.

Her eyeballs instantly bulged while pierced onto Arabella's big diamond ring.

"What? Where? When did..." Rosy's deep wrinkles on her forehead appeared.

She was obviously shocked and was surging with mixed emotions.

She was with Eric before he started his company.

She helped him and she stayed at his side for a long time.

They had been partners for a long time like best buddies. She took care of him, helped him, and loved

him.

Eric was hers.

Seeing he annoyed Rosy, Ivan strode towards Arabella who was just witnessing their conversation

confused and puzzled.

"Mommy? Let's go? I am starving. I want to eat cheese ramen." Ivan held Arabella's hand and sweetly

asked.

Rosy was dumbfounded.

"Ivan, I came here all the way to see you. I heard the good news. So don't joke at me, okay?" Rosy

tried to compose herself.

She knew how important Ivan was in Eric's life. It was always a struggle for her in dealing with the boy

but she had to for Eric.

" I am not. You can ask my uncle though." Ivan answered strictly. Then, he dragged his mom away from

Rosy. He didn't like her to be with Rosy.

Rosy was left in a daze. She took the earliest flight and came there to surprise Eric and Ivan but it

seemed she was the one who was surprised.

Raging with annoyance, Rosy took her phone and dialed Eric. She was still in disbelief and she just

hoped Ivan was just bluffing as she knew long before, Ivan didn't like her. She didn't like him too but for

Eric, she had to get Ivan's heart so she could also automatically capture Eric's heart too.

That was what she longing for a long time.

She knew some affairs of Eric but she was not threatened by them as she knew her existence in Eric's

life was already rooted and no woman could replace her not even Arabella Jones.

"Eric, I am here in Capital Z." She reported using a melodious voice.

"Oh, Rosy. I'm here in the office. Where are you? I can ask someone to pick you up." Eric answered

casually.

"Eric, I am already in your mansion," Rosy announced.

"Seriously?" Eric's tone was in disbelief.

"Yes. Because I wanted to surprise you and Ivan. I heard the good news about Ivan's custody." She

blurted.

"Hmmm..." Eric muttered on the other line. "Did you meet Ivan already?" He asked flipping a document

to sign. His company had also a building in Capital Z. For a while he worked there.

" Yes! And that woman!" Rosy's tone changed like she was irritated.

"Oh! So you already meet my wife?" Eric cheerfully asked which made Rosy jolt on her spot.

So it was all true.

She wanted to break down, shout and seek a fight. How could that woman steal Eric from her?

"Eric, you must be joking." She tried to compose herself. She could not break her sweet image.

"I am not. Arabella Jones is my wife. She was the kid I was looking for. You remember?" Eric told

everything to Rosy. She was his data bank and they were close buddies ever since. Their families were

close friends.

When his parents died, her parents adopted him.

They helped him like he was their own son until he achieved success.

He made himself a billionaire at a very young age but be could not forget Rosy and her family's support

for him.

Hearing Eric, Rosy's heartbeat stopped.

She knew the history of Eric and that girl when they were kids.

She knew how much effort Eric put to find her.

"How? Why I didn't know about it?" She managed to ask even though her fury was eating her up.

" I'm so sorry Rosy, It was so sudden. But I really plan to formally introduce her to you but you seemed

to find it already. So stay for dinner tonight so you can mingle with us. Okay?" Eric invited Rosy

sincerely.

"Okay. I will stay. Come back quick. I miss you." Rosy blurted managing her surging piss with the

situation.

How could she just accept Eric's marriage?

How could she accept Arabella Jones?

That would never happen.

After her conversation with Eric, she dialed another number.

"Find out all information about Arabella Jones. Dig everything about her. I need it immediately. No! I

needed it within 3 minutes!" Rosy ordered the man on the other line. Her tone was angry and

demanding.

"Arabella Jones," Rosy muttered in the air while clenching her hands into fists. Her teeth were gritted

thinking of the woman who was wearing Eric's mom's ring.

She hated her now.

She hated her existence in Eric's house.

She hated her existence in Eric's life.

Then Rosy heaved a heavy sigh.

She was itching to know Arabella's background.

She could not wait to get rid of her.

The night came so fast.

Eric ordered the servants to make a feast for Rosy's presence. It was an intimate dinner but with great

meals. The purpose was to introduce Arabella and Rosy formally to each other. Eric was sure that

Rosy and Arabella would be good friends just like him. He could see they have the same traits. They

were tough and smart but sweet and had a big heart for everyone. Rosy was generous and gave all her

time to help him when he was still struggling with his business before. He could not forget that.

Everyone gathered at a long table.

Ivan never left his mom.

He was like Adam who sensed the enemy and was overprotected.

He stayed beside her.

Eric was at the center edge and Rosy was at the opposite side of Arabella.

When everyone was settled, Eric held Arabella's hand as he smiled at her dearly. Envious, Rosy tried

her best not to go hysterical. Her heart was raging with jealousy.

"Rosy, meet my beautiful wife, Arabella Jones." Along with his words, Eric patted a soft kiss on

Arabella's hand.

Rosy smiled fakely. Deep inside she was already bursting with mixed emotions. Anger, jealousy, and

loss were mixed together.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Rosy. Eric's...." Rosy managed to introduce herself nicely in front of Eric of

course. "I'm Eric's long-time partner." She wanted to intimidate Arabella which is why she used the

word,' long-time partner'.

Arabella just smiled as she reached Rosy's hand. She shook it then they started eating.

Eric quickly prepared Arabella's meal on her plate. Seeing this, Rosy giggled in jealousy. She gritted

her teeth to calm herself down.

"So Eric, how's everything here? The head office missed you already." Rosy blurted to interrupt his

sweetness with Arabella.

"Well as you know, I have to stay here for a bit. I know you can handle the head office Rosy just keep

me updated." Eric simply answered.

"Why do you have to stay here?" Rosy asked again. All she wanted was Eric to be backed in the head

office so she could spend time with him longer in the office.

Just like before.

They were always together working from morning to night and sometimes the whole day and night.

"Because my wife is here," Eric answered looking lovingly at Arabella.

Rosy felt extreme jealousy and anger was surging deep inside her.

"So tell me how you guys managed to get married? How did it start? I don't mean to be nosy but really,

I'm just so curious." To defeat an enemy, you have to know everything about her. Rosy put up a fake

friendly smile at Arabella.

" It was a long story, Rosy," Eric said lazily.

"I don't mind." She smiled sweetly.

Ivan was just listening to the adult's conversation. With Rosy, he could not help rolling his eyes secretly.

Arabella was just hearing them too.

She had no intention to join them as she knew Rosy was pinpointing something.

She could clearly see Rosy liked Eric so much.

How could Eric didn't see it?

It was already screaming from Rosy's aura.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me then I'm gonna ask Arabella then." Rosy's eyes landed on her while

she said her words coolly.

Arabella met Rosy's eyes. Then she smiled and held Eric's hand on the table.

Rosy's stare quickly averted on their hands.

Arabella had confirmed her suspicion.

Rosy was into Eric.

She was happy that finally, someone had a crush on her brother. Rosy would surely love Eric so much.

"Well, Eric and I are just..." Arabella wanted to tell Rosy the truth but Eric squeezed her hand sending Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

her a message not to reveal the truth.

She didn't know what's the reason of Eric but she followed.

"We are in love with each other that is why we decided to get married." Eric finished Arabella's

statement as he sipped his wine.

After Eric's words, Rosy felt the greatest pain in her life.

She never imagined that Eric would be married to another girl.

She was supposed to be his wife. Only she is capable to be Eric's wife.

" Arabella, do you really love Eric? I heard you are the ex-wife of Bill Sky. Please don't get offended

with me I just want to make sure that you love Eric and you would not replace him with another man

just like what you did in your previous relationship." Rosy could not help maintaining her cool as she

hissed.

"Rosy!" Eric roared. Though he knew Rosy was just concerned for him she was just too much.

"What? I just wanted to know." Rosy defended herself. Her investigator already relayed Arabella's

information before their dinner.

" My mom loves my uncle so much. As a matter of fact, they will be having a baby." Suddenly, Ivan

blurted which made everyone freeze.
