Chapter 467: Forgiveness


    Slowly, Arabe looked at Bill with a saddened look.


    She didn’t expect that Bill would let go of her hand.


    Did he already decide that quickly?


    He let go of her just like that without any hesitation.


    Arabe''s heart clenched so hard and her knees weakened.


    She had to gather herposure otherwise she would break down there uncontrobly.


    Feeling that Bill was going to leave her and he would choose his mom over her, she could not breathe


    easily.


    Why she even questioned that?


    Who would choose someone over his mother?


    Why she was expecting that much?


    With her thoughts, she felt like a fool.


    It was just so funny that she was expecting Bill would choose her.


    Somehow, she felt a bit of satisfaction that Bill chose his mother.


    She would never wish to hurt Kelly even though Kelly hated her so much.


    She never hated her though Kelly kept on ming her for the death of her husband.


    Arabe understood her but, of course, she was just a human too, she felt hurt but she never held


    grudges toward Kelly Sky.


    Arabe even prayed that the time woulde when Kelly could open her heart to her again.


    She missed her aunt Kelly.


    She was very good to her before and she looked up to her as her second mother.


    Arabe still believed that their rtionship still had hope only if Kelly would learn to forgive her but the


    big question is when and how?


    Kelly was full of hatred toward her and seeing her hysterical action at the moment, Arabe’s hope was


    slowly fading away.


    Still, Arabe wished and held a single glimpse of hope for their rtionship to be fixed.


    “If you choose her, I will note back to this house and you will never see me again!” Kelly shouted


    angrily.


    She was so desperate to get Bill’s answer after all she was his mother.


    She wanted to punish her son for taking her words for granted.


    As Bill let go of Arabe’s hand, he calmly strode forward to Kelly leaving Arabe behind.


    With her flushed face due to immense anger, Kelly looked at Bill so desperate to hear his answer.


    She was expecting that Bill would give her a positive answer.


    Then, Bill held his mom’s shoulder.


    His eyes were serious looking at his mother.


    “Mom…” He sounded so seriousplimenting his stern expression. “Don’t you want me to be


    happy?” Bill asked frowning.


    His eyes were fixated on Kelly.


    Questioning and determined to hear a good answer from his mother.


    After all, he is her son and no mother didn''t want her son to be happy.


    Obviously, Bill was looking for that kind of a mother.


    Kelly was stunned.


    She knew her son''s eyes very well. “Son, listen to me. I am your mother! I know what’s good for you


    and I am doing this for your own sake. Just listen…” Kelly bombarded him so desperate to get her


    son’s side but then Bill was quick to cut her.


    “Mom!” His voice was deep and it was obvious that he was controlling his temper for the sake of his


    mother. “I love her,” Bill confessed simply yet firmed.


    Hearing Bill’s words, the sad Arabe was taken aback while Kelly was stunned.


    Kelly didn’t like what he was hearing from Bill and it made her more livid.


    She could not forgive Arabe until her death for what she had done to her husband and son.


    Without any warning, “Pakkk!!!” A loud p sound echoed in the room.


    Kelly suddenly pped Bill so hard.


    His cheek instantly turned crimson due to his mother’s blow but he allowed her.


    Bill allowed Kelly to hit him and it seemed he would allow her to hit him again and again just to pacify


    her.


    Just for her to ept his rtionship with Arabe.


    Just for her to ept Arabe and stop ming her.


    Just for her to love Arabe again.


    Bill would take all his mom’s anger for Arabe and he was willing to be his mother’s punching bag


    rather than her hitting Arabe.


    “If this will make you happy, then hit me, mom. Just stop hurting the woman I love.” Bill touched his


    burning cheek calmly as he sounded again with a stern and firm voice.


    His domineering poise was there but Kelly took her anger to another level.


    Though his cheek turned flushed, his handsomeness never lessened even a bit.


    Arabe was happy with Bill’s action.


    She was grateful and so touch by Bill’s guts to go against his mom and for standing up for her.


    He defended her and protect her from his mom but undeniably, there was a heaviness on her


    shoulders and heart.


    She never wanted them to be like this.


    “You dare to choose that woman? You change because of that woman! What about thepany, huh?


    That’s our family’s legacy and that is your legacy! Are you still going to be happy when you wake up


    someday that everything your hard work was destroyed because of that woman?!” Kelly roared angrily


    as she pointed at Arabe behind.


    Her veins popped up on her neck due to excessive shouting while her eyeballs bulged.


    Arabe was stunned again.


    Her heartbeat was racing so fast.


    She didn’t know about Bill’spany and why Kelly was mentioning this.


    Is there a problem with Bill’spany?


    He never mentioned it to her.


    Is this about the bombing happened on the Sky Corporation’s anniversary?


    Is hispany was greatly affected by it?


    Arabe felt the urge to know about it.


    She could not find her calm and wanted to know all the answers to her questions immediately.


    She could not just watch Bill setting aside his problem in front of her.


    If her thoughts were right, she was sure that Bill was sad and he kept everything to himself.


    She didn’t like it.


    Arabe wanted tofort Bill.


    She wanted to help him.


    She wanted to be there for him and would not leave his side like what he did to her.


    “If I have to choose between my legacy and her, I will not hesitate to choose Arabe, mom,” Bill


    answered Kelly firmly.


    His eyes were deep and had a sense of strong determination.


    “Are you insane?” Kelly shouted in disbelief and anger.


    She never thought that Bill would say it and the fact that he was choosing a woman over hispany


    was a hell of a joke to her.


    Bill’s life is hispany so there’s no way she could believe his words.


    She could never ept Arabe Jones.


    “That is my final decision, mom.” Bill seriously answered Kelly amidst her extreme anger.


    He was meeting his mom’s furious eyes as he seemed to be ready to take her mom''s punishment.


    “Pak!!!” Another loud p sound echoed in the area.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Kelly was so disgusted and pissed with Bill’s decision and not only that, she could not ept his


    decision as she knew her son well. Whatever he decided, he would stand for it.


    He was the type of man with one word and no one could make amendments to it.


    His words were irrevocable especially when he had given his decision.


    On the side, Arabe was petrified.


    She didn’t want Kelly to hurt her son.


    She wanted to stop the chaos immediately but she didn’t have enough guts as her feet were still not


    cooperating.


    She wanted to cool everyone down but her knees softened.


    She wanted to defend Bill and Kelly to Bill but her speech seemed to run out of her.


    Arabe clenched her fists hard to muster up her courage but by the time she was determined to pacify


    the situation, Bill had grabbed her and dragged her away leaving Kelly alone with a despising look at


    her.


    She could not me Kelly as she was a mother.


    Her son had chosen a woman over her.


    With her thoughts, she could not help to feel pity for Kelly.


    Arabe swore that she would find ways to reconcile the mother and the son as soon as possible.


    She and her family would not bepletely happy without Kelly''s eptance of her.


    For Bill and Adam, Arabe was determined to


    Shortly, Bill put Arabe inside the passenger seat of his sports car.


    Arabe was silent and could not find her calm.


    She looked at Bill as her eyes widened seeing his cheek flush.


    With an impulsive instinct, she quickly cupped Bill’s face.


    “Are you… are you, okay?” She asked worriedly.


    Bill''s serious face turned gentle as he smirked cutely at her.


    Then, he caressed Arabe’s long hair, and after, he grabbed her toward him.


    He hugged her as he rested his forehead on hers.


    “I’m sorry,” He muttered softly as he kissed her forehead gently.


    Instead of replying to him, she hugged him tighter.


    Arabe was more than satisfied with Bill on her side.


    She felt no one could hurt her anymore.


    Bill and Arabe went to the school.


    He never left her side the whole day.


    He watched her teach her students with admiration.


    Bill was taking his time with her.


    Arabe smiled at him sweetly.


    Undeniably, she liked Bill''s effort to be with her.


    Who would not?


    Seeing him closely gave her inspiration and until now, she was still mesmerized by his beauty and


    sexiness.


    He was like a vitamin for her eyes and he would not mind seeing him every day but somehow, she still


    felt bad about his rtionship with his mother.


    Arabe was hopeful that they would reconcile sooner.


    "Teacher!" Someone sounded from her students which made Arabe snap back to her senses.


    She smiled at Miley, one of her students to acknowledge the youngdy.


    "Yes, sweetheart." Arabe sounded sweet.


    "I have a suggestion." Miley cooly said. "Teacher, what about if your handsome boyfriend will join us? I


    saw him y earlier." Miley added smiling.


    Arabe was stunned a little as her eyes traveled to Bill who was also looking at her handsomely.


    "Teacher, I think that''s a good suggestion." Three of her students agreed at the same time.


    Arabe didn''t need to ask Bill to agree with her students.


    She felt awkward and of course, Bill was a famous figure in business and everywhere.


    He had a strong and powerful aura.


    People looked up to him highly.


    Lots of people knew him and not only that, the upper-ss people to be more specific.


    She won''t think Bill would like to entertain those people and in addition to that, Bill was a busy man.


    Being with her today is enough for Arabe.


    Sooner, Bill would have to go back to hispany and his regr busy schedule.


    With her thoughts, Arabe smiled awkwardly.


    She was looking for perfect words for her students.


    "Hmmm... my..." Arabe was about to decline their suggestion but then, "I agree to join." Bill cut her off


    which made her jaw instantly drop.


    Her eyes widened in shock.


    She could not believe that Bill had announced something that was not to her imagination.


    Arabe quickly looked at Bill with a questioning expression.


    Bill winked at her cutely as he strode forward and then without any warning, he kissed her lips in front


    of her students.


    She blushed as her students were pping their hands and cheered.


    Bill then smiled at her as he caressed her blushed cheek with his index finger delicately.


    "Are you sure?" Arabe looked at Bill in disbelief.


    Bill smiled at her. "Of course."


    Hearing his answer again, her students cheered louder.


    They were excited about their performance with Bill Sky.


    Surely, people would love it.


    Days were too busy for them.


    Arabe was so grateful for Bill''s help and effort.


    Since the Mayor''s event was fast approaching, they kept on practicing and Bill was so sincere with his


    words.


    He was punctual with the practice schedule and was very professional.


    They had to perform together on thest part as a finale of their performance.


    Also, Bill is their surprise guest to everyone.


    Arabe was so excited.


    "Thank you." Arabe could not help to hug him and kissed his lips one night after their duet practice.


    It would be theirst practice as the event was scheduled for tomorrow.


    They are going to perform together and that was something special in Arabe''s heart.


    Bill hugged her and kissed her back.


    Then he whispered. "If you are really grateful, can you show it to me in bed tonight?" Sexy as hell, Bill


    whispered as he purposely brushed his luscious lips on her ear.


    She instantly felt burning everywhere as she bit her lower lip to control those burning sensations inside


    her body.


    Then she smiled and nodded. "It would be my pleasure, Mr. Sky," She whispered back.


    Bill was satisfied as he held her hand and they went home together.


    Morning came so fast.


    Arabe was a bit nervous at the backstage.


    Bill was one of the VIPs in the Mayor''s event.


    Even the mayor had no idea that Bill would be joining their performance.


    Arabe gathered her students as she briefed them and inspired them to do their best in front of a big


    crowd.


    She could see they were nervous and admittedly, she is also.


    It was a long time before she went back to ying and performing in front of a big audience.


    "Are you okay?" Bill sounded behind her all of a sudden.


    Arabe was sitting trying to muster all her positive energy and courage.


    She heaved a deep sigh before she smiled at him.


    Arabe never thought Bill would go backstage just to meet her.


    "Yes... I think so." She answered inly still trying to gather her cool.


    "You can do it. I''m here for you." Bill held her shoulders and squeezed them a little behind her.


    Arabe held Bill''s hands on her shoulders.


    "Thank you. It''s my honor to y with you today." She said sincerely.


    "No, it''s my great honor." Bill refuted.


    When the program started, they also started performing.


    Arabe got all the energy she needed to perform wonderfully.


    Apuses were heard right after their performance.


    Then as nned, Bill strode in front to y with Arabe for the finale.


    Everyone was shocked forming a noisy mor.


    They couldn''t believe what they saw.


    Bill sat beside Arabe which made the people quiet.


    Then a deafening silence invaded the hall.


    They smiled at each other lovingly before they started ying.


    It was magnifique!


    With a standing ovation, the crowd cheered at them.


    The Mayor was very happy and proud of the mighty Bill Sky performing at his event.


    Arabe was also so happy.


    She was satisfied seeing the crowd cheering at their wonderful performance until her eyesnded on a


    corner.


    Her smile instantly faded and her eyes were shocked like she saw a ghost.


    Her heartbeat raced so fast meeting someone''s resentful eyes.


    She could not be mistaken.


    She saw Trishia Meyer even though her half-face was covered with a ck cloth.


    She was standing in the corner looking at them.


    In just one blink, Trishia was gone.
