Chapter 330 : In The West
Chapter 330 : In The West
The next morning, Arabella woke up to a piece of funky kid music and she could hear Adam's cute
voice.
If she was not mistaken, Adam was singing accompanied by the beat.
She thought she was just dreaming as she slowly opened her eyes.
To her shock, she was inside a car.
She was lying in the passenger seat slightly reclined and the first thing her eyes landed on was the
stereo of the car where the energetic music came from.
Then her eyes drifted to the man who was driving the car.
She quickly jumped onto her seat as she fixed herself.
Bill Sky was handsomely driving the car wearing his black ray ban.
Cool and sexy with his hair dropped down covering his forehead.
She wanted to take her time looking at her good morning view but her mind was in a panic trying to
think why she was inside his car after last night.
"Mommy, your awake! Good morning my beautiful mom." Adam's enthusiastic voice was like an alarm
clock.
She suddenly snapped back to her senses.
Bill looked at her and even though she could not see his eyes, she felt his gaze permeating all over her.
It made her feel conscious about herself.
She quickly looked at herself as the question in her mind was left unanswered.
She still couldn't think why she got inside his car.
In an instant, her eyes widened in shock.
She was just wearing her pajamas from last night.
A simple long-sleeve shirt partnered with its long pants printed with a bugs bunny character.
It was the only conservative pajamas inside her closet in the mansion.
She didn't even know who both that stuff.
The only thing she knew was there was one big closet there for all woman's stuff and Adam said it was
all for her.
All things inside were new.
It was always a girl's instinct to detect something used and unused.
Just to avoid the awkwardness and him, she looked at the back to see Adam.
With an immediate smile, "Good morning honey!" She greeted Adam in a cheerful voice. "Baby...can
you tell me where are we going?" She then asked controlling her panic attack. Adam was wearing a
yellow tee and white shorts. He was also wearing his square-shaped black sunglasses and a bucket
hat looking so gorgeous.
The father and the son were exceedingly handsome.
"Mommy, dad said we are going on vacation," Adam answered her excitedly.
"Oh,". She mumbled looking at herself. The two men were too handsome and dressed gorgeously but
she was wearing her pajamas. Clenching her fists, she could only think of one thing. This was Bill's
doing. Surely, he did it on purpose for her to be the laughing stock. It seemed Bill Sky had no plan to
stop pestering him. " Where, baby?" This question was for Adam but she looked at Bill already killing
him in her mind.
"We are going to the west, mom," Adam answered cheerfully.
He was securely fastened to his seatbelt while his head was moving up and down dancing to the tune
inside the car.
Upon hearing Adam, she then remembered something.
Looking at Bill frowning and mocking.
Today, Bill was driving to Ginger's house in the west.
It was a long drive but Bill was very determined to drive there.
It seemed he was going to introduce Adam to Ginger's family.
With her thought, she felt a bit nuisance.
She could feel a pang in her heart.
Could it be she was jealous that her son would be introduced to another woman?
But what about her? What was Bill planning for her? Is he going to introduce her as Adam's nanny?
She heard that Bill was going to meet Ginger's father, Is Bill going to ask for Ginger's hand today?
Arabella heaved a deep sigh trying to calm herself.
Why did she feel so bad about it? She should be screaming in happiness right now since Bill Sky would
no longer be in her life so soon.
Arabella leaned on the headrest trying to maintain her sanity.
The music was very lively but she could not absorb the vibe from it.
Her eyes looked at the long winding road.
It was clear and had no obstacles around it.
Trees were few and the sun was shining brightly.
Her eyes focused on the concrete road as her mind brought her to last night's event.
"Tell me if it was a lie." After Bill kissed her passionately, he spoke. His eyes were proving and his tone
carried a subtle seriousness.
Her heartbeat stopped. Her lips could still taste the delectable intimacy they shared. It brought her to
the night when they first met in the bar. When she kissed him then he deepened the kiss and didn't let
her go. She could feel his intense desire, the longingness, hunger, and excitement through his lips.
Gosh!
She wanted more...
But no!
"Hah!" Arabella released a cracking mockery. "Ha!ha!ha!" She could not help it.
She laughed insulting him.
Why did she have to let her feelings ruin her again?
Bill Sky would never love her.
Bill Sky knows no love.
If there was someone who would hurt her, it would not be Bill Sky but herself.
It was because she already knew how terrible this man was but if she still let herself fall to this man, it
was already her to blame.
"Mr. Sky. I'm tired already. Goodnight." Badly wanting to avoid him and kill her crazy feelings from his
kiss, Arabella quickly added in a lazy tone.
She had to end this night otherwise she could not promise if she could still hold her guard.
Bill was too hot and alluring to handle.
His charm could easily bewitch her.
His kiss could make her out of control.
Then she quickly stood up and raised her hand to the butler who was waiting in a distance.
She signaled to Adam's tent.
The butler quickly lifted the sleeping Adam then they left. Arabella stopped in the middle and turned
around to face the man who was still sitting on the couch with a blank expression.
"I wish you luck in your business trip to the west." She added meaningfully. Her tone carried sarcasm
then she left.
On that night, she slept in Adam's room.
"Can you stop the car? I want to use a bathroom." Arabella suddenly sounded to the man who was
focused on the road.
It seemed there was so much she needed to know and Bill should do the explaining.
He could not just drag her with him to Ginger's house.
She wanted to protest but she could not say it in front of Adam.
Bill turned to her. "In the next gasoline station." He uttered briefly and calmly then went back to focus
on the road.
After hearing him, Arabella heaved a deep sigh trying to calm herself.
This man's arrogance was getting her nerves.
As promised, Bill stopped at the next gasoline station.
Adam quickly loosened his seatbelt and said, "Mommy, I'm going to use the restroom too." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay, let's go!" Before Arabella got out of the car she looked at Bill.
Her eyes were saying 'Explain everything.' It was not asking but ordering him.
Bill just smirked at her then he went out too.
"Daddy, I'm a man now. I'm going with you." Adam chased Bill and held his hand.
The little boy looked proud.
The father and son were so stunning in the eyes of the women around them.
"OMG! They are so handsome! Are they celebrities? Are they siblings? I think I want to marry both of
them." Arabella heard someone from the three girls they encountered giggling.
'Siblings?' Arabella caught only one word as she frowned and rolled her eyes mocking Bill Sky.
How could he be a sibling of her son? She wanted to chase the girl and correct her as she was very
annoyed with her word.
"Oh, I think, I already love them both." The other girl answered. "Me too!" The third girl cheerfully
joined.
Arabella heaved a sigh and shook her head to get rid of her annoyance.
When she got inside the toilet, she quickly washed her face and looked at the mirror as she spoke to
herself. "Relax... Cool down... You can't lose your temper in front of Adam." She blurted in the air as
her memory from last night suddenly flashed across her mind again.
"Yes. I love your dad." Those were her words to pacify Adam. With her words, she felt the hair behind
her neck had risen.
"Arabella... Calm down. Do this for Adam. Do this for your son. You can't hurt him now. Okay?" She
was talking in the mirror like she had gone crazy.
"Okay." Then she nodded agreeing to her own words.
When she got out of the restroom, Bill was already standing outside the male's room waiting for Adam.
Surely, Adam got rid of him.
With that, Arabella felt lucky.
Now that she was given a chance to confront him and she would not miss it.
"Mr. Sky, now that we are alone, can you tell me why are you bringing me and Adam to see your future
wife and father-in-law? Are you insane?" Her anger was bursting as she clenched her fists hard and
gritted her teeth.
"Hmmm..." Bill hummed and nodded. "What's wrong? Don't you like to witness a special event?" He
asked calmly but his eyes were sarcastic.
"No! I don't want to. I don't care about your special event." Full of irritation, she answered back. “I don't
care about you and I don't care about your matters!" She added roughly putting a strong emphasis on
her every word.
Bill took off his sunglasses and put them inside his pocket.
The coldness in his eyes was clearly shown as he grabbed Arabella's shoulders and pushed her
against the wall.
With overwhelmed shock, she struggled but it was to no avail.
Bill's grip on her was showing his intense resentment toward her.
"Let me go, Mr. Sky." She yelled softly as she was aware Adam could possibly hear her.
“Enough!” Bill’s dangerous voice frightened her.
She stood frozen.
His eyes were pierced into her like they were going to eat her in whole. “You should know that your
stubbornness had consequences, right?” Bill was trying to control his temper but this girl just wracking
everything. “If you can’t put up with my matter then get lost.” He added full of sarcasm. His eyes
showed impatience.
Arabella felt like running out of breath.
‘Get lost.’ These words made her tremble.
She wanted to run away from him but she could never leave Adam.
It made her worried about her position in Adam’s life.
What if Bill would get rid of her that instant?
Or Bill would hide Adam from her again?
No! She could not let it happen.
Bill’s words were a slap on her face.
Not only her face but her heart.
His words made her feel her greatest fear.
The fear of losing Adam again.
“Mom, dad… what are you guys doing there?” Suddenly, Adam’s voice was heard.
They both turned in the direction of the voice. Adam was already in front of them. Bill quickly loosened
his grip on her shoulders while Arabella quickly released a sweet smile for her son.
“Ah… Daddy and I… ah...” Arabella was lost for words. Her heart was about to shatter due to Bill’s
words.
“Mom and I were talking about the places we can go later.” Bill’s voice came to her rescue.
After hearing his dad, Adam jumped and clapped his hands.
He was very excited about this vacation.
Both of his parents were with him and he had nothing more to ask. “Yes!” He blurted out excitedly.
“Let’s go, honey!” Arabella quickly escaped from Bill's grip and got Adam’s hand.
They walked together to the car.
Inside the car, Bill played Adam’s music.
The boy was singing behind while the two adults were not on good terms.
There was a deafening silence between them.
Bill was focused on the road with one hand maneuvering the steering wheel.
Arabella was also staring at the road blankly.
They were like couples who had just gone into a fight and had no plan to reconcile.
When they arrived at Ginger’s family place, Ginger together with her servants welcomed them outside.
It seemed the whole west was Ginger’s family.
If Arabella was not mistaken, they were on a huge ranch.
There’s a large vineyard and on the other side, there are lots of horses, cows, and goats.
“Welcome, Bill! I’m so happy that you made it! Welcome to our land!” Since Ginger studied and was
raised abroad, there was no single trace of a farming lifestyle in her. She was a classy and chic city girl.
“This is my boy, Adam.” Bill just nodded at Ginger and held Adam’s shoulders.
“Adam, meet Aunt Ginger.” Bill introduced Adam and Ginger properly.
“Hi, Aunt Ginger. By the way, how big is your land?” It seemed not only Arabella was wondering about
that but also Adam.
Ginger laughed at the cuteness of the little boy.
“All that you can see is my family’s land.” She answered with a sweet smile.
Adam’s eyes got rounder in astonishment.
Even Arabella was so amazed by Ginger’s land.
“Oh, I know you. We’ve met again. Welcome, Arabella!” Ginger sounded friendly as she strode toward
her and hugged her.
“Where’s your dad?” Bill sounded impatient.
Arabella could feel that Bill didn’t like seeing Ginger hugging her.
She felt like Bill got angry every time someone treated her nicely.
There’s no doubt Bill wanted to see her beaten and mocked.
Even though, she humbled herself as she could not lose Adam again.
“Dad will meet you at dinner tonight, Bill. I hope you don’t mind.” Ginger sounded apologetic.
Bill nodded at her with a serious expression. Then in just the next second, a man riding a horse arrived.
"Oh! That is my brother, Victor. " Ginger blurted to the handsome and topless man on his horse.
He was wearing a cowboy hat. His sexy firm muscles were screaming.
He jumped off from his horse and strode in Arabella's direction.
Victor suddenly held Arabella's hand, knelt on one knee, and kissed it.
"You are beautiful. I'm Victor." He spoke gentlemanly.
