Chapter 329: The Truth Beneath His Lie


    “I love you.” Bill suddenly uttered which made Arabe’s heart skip a beat.


    She looked at Bill with her eyes strongly asking, ‘Why do you have to do that? Why do you have to tell


    a big lie to your son?’ Her eyes were ufortable.


    They were seeking the truth beneath his lie.


    Even Adam could not believe was he was hearing from his dad.


    His eyes got rounder and his smile widened filled with excitement.


    “Dad, do you really love mom?” Adam was the happiest kid on earth right now.


    His cheeky smile could not hide his happiness.


    Bill looked at her seriously.


    His eyes were an unending abyss.


    It was mysterious and meaningful.


    Whatever it is, Arabe was afraid to know.


    She was afraid what the truth about his words.


    She was afraid of what was in his mind.


    She was afraid of what he was nning to do and she was afraid that she would fall into that abyss


    and she could not escape anymore.


    More specially, she was afraid for her heart.


    “Yeah. I love your mom. Can you also ask her if she loves me?” That was unexpecteding from Bill


    Sky.


    Bill answered Adam then he winked at Arabe whose smile was nowpletely fading.


    Her eyes shot him with daggers secretly.


    A controlled annoyance was traced on her face because obviously, she didn’t want to ruin the special


    night for Adam.


    All her efforts and the good oue would just go to waste if she would fight with this man in front of


    her son.


    For her, Bill deliberately did it to put her in a difficult situation.


    He wanted to ruin the night.


    With her thoughts, Arabe strongly squeezed Bill’s hand under but Bill was quick to interlock their


    fingers together.


    She wanted to push him with her other hand but she would just put their secret bickering under the


    table too obvious.


    “Mom, are you okay?” When Arabe was unable to speak, Adam asked with pure innocence.


    “Yeah. I am.” Arabe answered releasing her sweet smile.


    “So, mom do you love daddy?” After hearing that she was alright, Adam asked again wearing his


    overwhelmed expression and somewhat he was very hopeful of getting a positive answer from his


    mom. It seemed her answer wouldplete the kid’s night.


    Looking at Adam, Arabe had no heart to disappoint her son.


    She widened her smile when the reality was, that she didn’t know what to say.


    Her words seemed to stick in her throat.


    Her wits had run out.


    “Hmmm…” She hummed trying to say something. “Yes. I love your dad.” Mustering all her courage she


    answered.


    She had no time to think. Adam’s hopeful expression was just too hurtful to break.


    If she would say ‘No’ what would the kid think of his parents?


    That he was made out of nothing?


    What would Adam probably feel about it?


    What would Adam think about her?


    Is he going to look at her the way he looked up to him now?


    Arabe was full of apprehensions.


    She could not find her calm inside and this was because of one man.


    She looked at him angrily.


    Bill was looking at her too with eyes as deep as the word love means.


    Their eyes met.


    Seeing his parents, Adam could jump for joy.


    Now, the question in his mind was answered.


    When he saw her mom in his dad’s mansion, he wondered why.


    Not until tonight.


    Adam quickly stood up and approached Arabe.


    “Thank you, mom, foring to us.” It was a deep statement.


    Arabe could feel the deepest sincerity of Adam.


    It instantly made her eyes teary.


    She wanted to cry but she controlled it because this night should be a night of happiness only.


    No tears… No cries…


    “Thank you, daddy, for bringing back mom.” Adam’s other arm reached for his dad.


    The boy was very sentimental but he was bursting with happiness.


    It seemed Adam’s long-time prayer was granted tonight.


    “I love you, mom. I love you, dad.” Adam sounded hugging both of his parents.


    Adam was not so expressive but tonight he was a very sweet little boy.


    He seemed to wait this moment for a very long time to happen.


    Arabe felt a bit of guilt as she knew Bill was just faking it.


    They both faked it for the sake of Adam’s happiness.


    One thing is for sure, she would not break Adam’s happiest moment tonight.


    It was her first-time seeing Adam out of his controlled genius freak look.


    He did funny things before but was not as sweet as this little guy now.


    He seemed to feelplete.


    Arabe hugged her little boy with her other arm.


    Bill also did the same.


    With the boy in between pulling them together, Bill and Arabe’s faces were left just a small gap from


    each other.


    Arabe’s calm was quickly gone.


    Bill’s handsome face was like a magnate to her eyes.


    He was very tempting like she saw the most handsome god on the.


    The depth of his eyes was like sucking her breath.


    “I love you too, baby.” To disrupt whatever she was feeling inside, Arabe answered Adam trying to


    avert her gaze to Adam though she knew Bill’s eyes were on her. Admittedly, his stare made her weak.


    She blushed tremendously.


    The good thing was the lighting was warm so she was sure Bill and Adam would not notice it.


    Arabe leaned down a bit to kiss Adam’s left cheek.


    Unexpectedly, Bill kissed Adam’s right cheek.


    It was a perfect family picture.


    Adam felt very happy with his parents loving him.


    He was hopeful that the moment would not end.


    He prayed that his mom would stay with them forever and his dad would not bully his mom anymore.


    There would be no fighting and there would not a point anymore that he had to choose between them.


    Tonight, Adam could not ask for more. It was all he wanted.


    With a silly smirk, Adam suddenly pulled out from the two.


    Without expecting the little boy’s action, Arabe and Bill’s lips instantlynded on each other.


    The wind blew cold just enough to cool down the atmosphere.


    Arabe tasted his luscious lips.


    The softness was touching hers making her heartbeat race so fast.


    She wanted to retract herself but she couldn’t move.


    It seemed her lips had their own minds.


    On the other hand, Bill had longing enough to taste her seductive lips again.


    Thanks to his little guy’s initiative.


    He swore to reward Adam in the future.


    Seeing his action’s good result, Adam pped his hands with a wider cute smile.


    This made Arabe snap back to her senses.


    She pulled away from Bill and quickly stood up trying to take away his taste that was still lingering on


    her lips.


    “Son, since you’re done eating, let’s watch a movie now.” Arabe tried so hard not to stagger and be


    obvious to everyone’s eyes.


    “Okay, mommy. I am ready.” Adam quickly answered.” Daddy, I think you’re done too. Care to join us


    for a movie date?” Of course, Adam would not want to end the night with his parents acting like the


    ideal couples he saw online and everywhere.


    “Ah… son, I think we have to excuse your dad tonight because he still had a business trip tomorrow.”


    Arabe quickly butted in. She was talking about Bill’s appointment to the west. It was the meeting of


    Ginger’s father. Even though she hadn’t been there but she knew the distance and travel time of the


    ce. Also, she just didn’t want him to be around anymore. She preferred to have Adam only on the


    couch having a movie date as Bill’s presence was just too much for her to handle. Admittedly, her lips


    were still not sober from his kiss and even her entire system.


    “Nah… I wouldn’t miss this.” Bill sounded yful as he quickly sat on the couch. Arabe’s eyes grew


    wider. This man had no n to stop pestering her tonight. He sat while his long legs crossed one over


    another then his arms were spread on the backrest.


    Arabe could not help rolling her eyes at how Bill was cing himselffortably on the couch.


    “Mommy, what are you waiting for?” Adam held his mom’s hand he dragged her to sit on the couch.


    “You go first.” Arabe was smarter enough to ce Adam beside his father.


    Then she sat beside Adam.


    Adam quickly yed the movie.


    It was a new movie about superheroes.


    Adam could not help but appreciate his mom more.


    His mom knew him very well and that included his favorite movies.


    While watching, Arabe opened a bucket of cheese popcorn.


    Adam was addicted to it every time he watched a movie.


    Actually, they both could not stop eating this vored popcorn when watching a movie.


    Adam’s eyes sparkled seeing the movie and his favorite vored popcorn.


    When the movie started, Arabe tried to find her calm.


    It was a good thing that Adam was in the middle.


    She could hide from Bill.


    She even stopped herself from getting a scope in the bucket so she could avoid Bill’s hand.


    Unexpectedly, Bill liked the cheese popcorn too.


    That made the family’smon denominator.


    Under the stars, Arabe, Adam, and Bill watched the movie peacefully.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    There wasplete silence until Adam suddenly stood up yawning.


    “Where are you going, honey?” Arabe quickly asked puzzled.


    “Don’t worry mom, I just want to experience your tent.” Adam was eyeing the Indian kiddie tent ced


    just beside the couch.


    He sounded while he was already walking toward his tent.


    “Ah… Son, do you want me to join you?” Obviously, she didn’t want to be left alone on the couch with


    Bill.


    She quickly stood up and quickly follow Adam but when she was about to take her second step, Bill


    snatched her wrist and pulled her to him.


    It was a swift one that Arabe had no time to struggle and the next thing she knew, she was already


    on Bill’sp while his arms were enclosing her body.


    Arabe was shocked but quickly snapped back to her senses.


    She jumped out from hisp and fell to his side but his arm was still on her waist and the other was


    holding her arm.


    “Bill Sky! You pervert!” With a controlled voice, Arabe said angrily.


    “Calm down. Let’s finish the movie.” Bill looked at her calmly.


    “No! Take off your hands away from me.” She tried her hard not to shout at him though she was already


    bursting in anger. For her, Bill was there to pester her. “Are you doing this because you want to ruin my


    effort for Adam?” Even though she wanted to hit him and scream in his face, she couldn’t. All she could


    do was a whisper so that Adam could not hear her.


    “Mommy...Daddy... are you guys okay there?” Suddenly, Adam’s head sneaked on their side.


    Quickly, they both turned to Adam at the same time.


    “Of course. We are okay. Honey.” Arabe sounded first wearing her uneasy smile.


    The truth was she was irking.


    “Daddy, please take care of mommy. I’m just here in my tent if you need me.” Adam seemed to like his


    tent and the things stuffed inside.


    “Go on, son. Don’t worry. I got your mom.” Bill answered with a wink while his hand caressed Arabe’s


    waist secretly.


    Arabe could feel his yful touch.


    She held herself not to giggle at what Bill was doing behind Adam.


    “Okay. Enjoy your movie date, guys.” Adam mumbled then he turned around and went inside his tent


    again.


    “Take off your hands!” Arabe quickly scolded him.


    Her tone carried a deadly threat already.


    “Shhh… Your son can hear you. You just said that you love me earlier in front of him. Do you want him


    to get disappointed?” Bill whispered.


    For whatever reason, his voice was sexy.


    “But you are the first one who lied to him. You made him believe that you love his mom. You should not


    do that. In the future, your son’s heart will be broken because of your doing.” She could not hold it


    anymore. She was angry with him for being so selfish and insensitive to his son.


    Amidst her nagging, Bill looked at her.


    His eyes were telling her something.


    They were serious and were staring at her keenly.


    “Who said it’s a lie?” After a while, he finally spoke.


    “Mr. Sky, Bill, please stop ying!” If she had to plead to him, she would do it just for him to stop.


    She was enough of his lies. “If you can make Adam believe you, spare me.” Arabe maintained her


    low voice.


    She was aware that Adam could hear them.


    Bill’s grip on her waist tightened.


    His stare got sharper.


    She trembled a little but her eyes could not escape from his handsome face.


    His lips were inviting.


    She hated herself for appreciating him even though she was very annoyed at him.


    “I…” Bill uttered but he stopped. His sharp eyes were pierced into her.


    “What?” She asked impatiently.


    She just wanted to put an end to his nonsense.


    Bill’s sexy lips parted ways.


    “You have nothing to say because you…” She could not suppress her waiting any longer. He would just


    tell another lie and she didn’t want to hear another nonsense from him but she was cut.


    Bill suddenly locked her lips with his.


    Arabe was shocked.


    She quickly pushed his shoulders but Bill didn’t let go.


    His lips moved hungrily and gently.


    She could feel his desire.


    Controlled but bursting.


    It was irresistible.


    Arabe found her lips dancing with the rhythm.


    Her hands on his shoulders climbed around his neck.


    Then Bill released her lips.


    He lifted her chin so she could face him before he spoke in a dignified tone, “Now, tell me if it''s a lie.”
