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

Chapter 445: His Guilt

“Stop it!” The surging tension was building up in the air as Eric shouted angrily.

His expression was dangerous like he wasn't willing to hear any unworthy reasons.

He seemed so sure that the baby was his and no one could change that not even, Hanna.

Charles David stayed lost and very puzzled by the happenings inside the kitchen.

His eyes were stuck on Eric’s hand holding his lowly servant, Helen.

His expression was so confused like believing them wasn’t an option when the truth was already in

front of him.

Eric and Helen had something with each other and that was what his eyes were seeing.

“Yes, it is! He is the father of my child and you have nothing to do with it. Do you understand? Now you

can leave me alone!” Helen gathered all her strength to push Eric and she succeeded.

Then, she quickly got back her arm then she ran away using the back door.

The tears that she was holding for too long, make their way down.

As she strode big, they poured like rain along with the heaviness of her heart.

She was very happy to see him again but she was also in a big mess.

If her heart would decide, she would not be probably running away from him.

She may be hugging him and kissing him right now because the truth is, she missed him a lot.

She missed him all nights and days and there were no times that he didn't occupy her mind.

She loved Eric so much and in this lifetime, he would be the only man she would love.

Eric Grant ...

But he is so high.

This reasoning gave Hanna heartache.

And with happened to his family because of her, it was impossible that they could be together.

Hanna just wanted Eric to go away and stop bothering her anymore.

As for Hanna, Eric had nothing to worry about because all her devotion and dedication was to her child.

She would give all her love to her baby and do everything to give the child home.

“What happened here?” The silence was broken by Charles’ lame questioning in the kitchen.

He blocked Eric’s way as he was about to follow Hanna.

Eric's sharp eyes landed on Charles' face like they wanted to swallow him for Charles to stop asking or

saying anything.

Obviously, he had no time for Charles.

“Get away!” Eric sounded so angry and in a hurry.

“Wait. What? This is my resort and she is my servant. I have the right to know what’s happening.”

Charles stubbornly refused but already trembling in fright.

Eric’s angry expression was something that he could not afford to take but his pride and curiosity were

unstoppable.

If the media reporters could capture the moment of Eric Grant and his maid, this would surely be a big

hit all over the world.

Everyone would go crazy about Eric Grant having a love affair with a lowly servant on a small island.

How could it be?

The famous Eric Grant ...

Charles' could still not believe this.

Eric heaved a deep sigh as his dangerous eyes landed on Charles' face.

It made this Charles tremble more.

Eric strode closer to Charles like his every step was telling him to run away or else he would be hurt

badly.

“The more you have to get away if you don’t want your family’s businesses to go bankrupt! Do you

understand?” Along with his warning was with his sharp eyes digging Charles while his strong hands

held Charles' collar tightly.

Charles had seen Eric Grant always on TV and he always wore a collected noble expression too

different from what he was seeing now.

Charles’ shoulders instantly dropped down.

Then he quickly stepped aside without any word.

He was completely stunned by Eric's deadly reaction.

Without delaying any second, Eric went away.

Charles was still in disbelief.

He just offended Eric Grant.

He just hoped that Eric would forget about his family’s businesses or else he was doomed because his

money was coming from his family and Charles exactly knew that Eric was very capable of doing his

warning.

He still couldn’t believe his servant, Helen.

He never thought that she had a hidden big fish.

Who would have thought that his lowly servant had a relationship with a big business mogul?

With his thoughts, Charles smirked meaningfully.

“Hanna! Hanna! Stop!” Eric was chasing Hanna along the shore where she walked that night when she

dropped her handkerchief.

Hanna didn’t stop running instead, she ran faster but luckily, Eric was quick enough to catch her.

She quickly took a few steps back but Eric caught her shoulders to stop her in full.

Hanna struggled with all her might.

She pushed him but Eric was overly strong for her.

Eric stood mighty and was not bothered by her struggling.

There were random people on the bay at that time.

Just seeing a handsome figure on the shore made them stop plus seeing Helen, they were more

curious about who was the gorgeous man in Helen’s life because people saw her already pregnant but

they never saw her with any guy on the island.

“You stop!” Hanna’s eyes were misty due to her stubborn tears.

She ordered Eric strictly which at this moment it was very impossible that he would obey her.

“If that’s not mine, then why are you acting this way? Answer me!” Eric blurted angrily.

Hanna stopped struggling.

She didn’t expect that his question would give her a blow.

Obviously, she didn’t know how to answer him.

She could not afford to meet his sharp eyes like she was afraid that she was going to fall into his deep

dark abyss and couldn’t retrieve herself back.

“Look at me, Hanna, and answer me now.” Eric sounded impatient and domineeringly as he looked at

Hanna’s beautiful face.

He could see Hanna’s eyes were filled with uneasiness then shortly, his eyes landed on her luscious

lips.

Eric knew the time wasn’t perfect to reminisce about the last night they had spent together but he could

not help himself.

All the sensual details and all that they did that night popped out like bubbles in front of him.

“I miss you…” Eric uttered all of the sudden.

This was completely out of the topic and it just came out from somewhere.

Eric was also stunned that he was being so honest about it.

Hanna who still had trouble answering his question and still trying to find the right answer to it

immediately stopped after hearing Eric. Her mind instantly went blank.

She blushed uncontrollably and she was shy about it but it was too late.

Eric grabbed her closer to him and she instantly shove his chest.

Their body touched each other.

She didn’t know how to react to this.

She wanted to withdraw herself quickly from him but her body didn’t want to cooperate.

She couldn't move at all.

It seemed her body wanted this and it longing him for a very long time.

“Don’t do this, Eric.” She could only utter complain as her eyes were avoiding him.

“Don’t do what?” Eric asked but obviously, it was a tease.

“There’s a lot of people here and they all know me so stop harassing me, please.” She was right.

On such a small island everyone knew each other. If not, they knew by faces.

“So, come with me.” Eric was serious.

His eyes were serious it’s just his words were funny to Hanna as he seemed to be teasing her in a

broad daylight.

She smirked at him mockingly.

“No! You can’t be serious, Mr. Grant. Please leave now and let me go.” Hanna tried to calm herself as

she knew fighting against Eric would never make her win.

Eric was a good man but he was also righteous and stubborn at the same time.

They shared the same traits sometimes so, it was too hard to choose who would win over the other.

So whatever it is, maybe she could persuade him to go in a nice way.

“I said, no!” Eric was not bothered by her tricks.

He seemed to know more about Hanna and her being nice wasn’t an option.

He would not give in to her no matter what.

“Eric, go back to where you belonged and stop bothering me, will you?” Hanna sounded so displeased

again.

Her eyes got wider when she saw her co-workers coming toward them.

She saw the old butler, Mr. Harry, Ms. Dally, Beth and etc.

They seemed to know that there was a commotion happening in the place so they went and check.

She instantly felt nervous.

At this time, Hanna hoped that the ground would open and swallow her whole to avoid disgracing

herself.

How could she continue living on this island after this?

If people knew that the father of her child is Eric Grant, the billionaire business mogul, there is no way

she could live peacefully on this island.

“No! Please go!” With her messy thoughts, Hanna blurted angrily.

She struggled again as her face was blushing.

She didn’t like creating a scene but she had to get rid of Eric.

She was struggling using all her might but suddenly, her body was lifted into the air.

Eric suddenly carried her in a bridal position.

“What are you doing? Put me down!” She asked in a panic but Eric seemed to not hear her.

He deliberately didn’t want to hear her this time.

“Where are you going to bring me? Put me down, please!” Hanna was already pleading and panicking

but Eric strode big still not hearing him.

She saw that they were heading back to the resort and they were going to pass to the other servants.

Hanna could not help but hide her face in Eric’s chest.

Seeing this, Eric smiled. He seemed his anger toward her quickly dissipated in no time.

Eric brought Hanna directly to his room.

He locked it and dropped her on his bed.

She was taken aback.

He was a VIP guest in this resort and she was just a servant.

It was not a good idea.

Everyone could accuse her of climbing his bed to catch a big fish.

It wasn’t good for her reputation and what about her work performance?

What about the madame of this resort that is waiting to fire her?

Hanna was in big trouble now.

She could not afford to lose this job otherwise they would go hungry.

She didn’t know what to do.

All she wanted was to run away from the place urgently.

She was also blaming fate this time.

Of all people, she was to see, but why it had to be Eric?

Why Eric had to be in this resort where she was working?

And why he had to be on the island where she settled?

Grrr….

Hanna could not help gritting her teeth to control her annoyance.

If only she could rearrange her fate, she would not hesitate to undo everything with Eric.

“Why did you bring me here?” She asked with nervousness mixed with annoyance.

“So, we can talk?” Eric answered plainly unbothered by her nagging.

“You are really insane, Eric. We have nothing to talk about. I already closed that chapter of my life

where you are in it. Okay?” Helen said seriously and she was very hopeful that Eric would agree with

her.

She was very hopeful that he would understand her even though it was very impossible.

“If that’s the case,” Eric strode closer to her. “Why you are still messing in my head, Hanna?” Eric lifted

her chin to face him. Her eyes met his serious eyes. For a while, they stared into each other’s eyes.

Helen was hypnotized by his eyes again like she was caught and imprisoned unwillingly.

"I... I don't know," Hanna answered like losing her senses in his deep wary eyes.

She wanted to add or tell him honestly that he was also messing her mind and he was not only

suffering that kind of torture but she couldn't.

Hiding her true feeling for him was the best option for her in order to get rid of him successfully.

Eric held her shoulders as his eyes never left her beautiful face.

"Come with me. Let's get out of this island." Eric said in a serious voice.

Hanna felt happy with his words but it was also too painful in her heart because she knew that could

never happen.

In front of Eric, Hanna chuckled softly.

She seemed to hear the funniest joke in the universe.

Then she looked at Eric with her self-deprecating smile.

"Then, what about your friend, Rosy? Your aunt? And your uncle Byer?" Hanna was clenching her fists

hardly as she asked him the question she never wanted to ask.

She never wanted to bring it up to him as she knew Eric was still hurting about this but she had no

choice.

This was the only way she could use for now and she was sure that it was the most effective way but

the most painful for Eric.

As expected, after hearing her question, Eric was taken aback.

His courageous eyes instantly turned gloomy.

Seeing Eric like this made her heart clench so hard.

She was sorry for her question but she had to use this against him.

His grip on her shoulders loosened.

She could see guilt in his eyes.

Hanna confirmed that Eric was still in the state where his guilt was maneuvering him.

And this guilt would never go away.

That just meant, there was no chance that they could be together again.

Helen fixed herself and her composure.

She knew she won over him and she could now go freely.

"Goodbye, Eric. Take care of yourself." It was her last words then Hanna left.

Meanwhile, Rosy and the rest arrived back in the city.

They were all tired but still, they were all awake as the internet fussed about Bill and Trishia's

honeymoon on a very luxurious and the most expensive island.

Their sweet photos were all over the internet.

"Arabella, are you okay?" Rosy asked worriedly.

Lira also looked at Arabella filled with concern about her friend.

Arabella smirked sweetly. "Of course," She responded but it was obviously a lie. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Rosy quickly read her uneasy expression. "Don't worry. You know what? Forget about him. There are

so many men out there. Don't be afraid to open your heart to someone who truly deserves your love."

Rosy quickly appeased her dear friend.

Arabella just smiled at Rosy who was now playing the role of an expert love guru.

When Arabella arrived in her new small apartment, she could not help but feel lonely again.

It was a quiet vicinity she had but at some point she liked it.

It was just this time, her heart was still heavy because of the photos of Bill she had seen with his new

wife, Trishia.

Inside was dark so she quickly turned on the switches.

But she was suddenly taken aback.

"Bill?"
