His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 440 - Love Truly Moves In Mysterious Ways
After a few days, Vincent left Sydney for his Northeastern visits to their subsidiary companies. He first stopped at Gold Coast then stayed at Brisbane for the night.
Then, his next stop was Queensland.
"I missed you, hubby." Hailee purred when she finally got a hold of Vincent that evening. Vincent immediately had a video call with Hailee when he came back to the yacht.
Anyway, she understands how busy her husband was, not only meeting Davies' business partners but also her knights and the Mafia members under her dad.
"I missed you too, Wifey. Did you have a good day?" Vincent asked longingly.
"I felt great! I did something today and I will not tell you as it was just a secret," said Hailee with glee. He pouted to show her that he was hurt being secretive.
"It's a surprise! Not one but two!"
"Really?"
"Yup!" Hailee smiled coquettishly. Vincent was still pouting and so, she kissed her Tab screen wishing it would reach Vincent.
Soon, Vincent's sexy laugh echoed in Hailee's ear. Vincent finally stops acting childish.
"How're the kids?" Afterward, Vincent queried as he saw Hailee stroking her baby bump.
Hailee smiled as she responded, "They're doing well! I feel them all day. Now I'm exhausted playing with them."
It was absolutely draining to have four active kids in her womb. But she was happy that they are healthy. Therefore, every time the babies kicked on her belly, she would instantly tell them a story.
The story is not just the typical children's book but it was the love story of their parents.
Hailee is always ecstatic when she recalls those encounters she had with their dad in Budapest and Metro City.
She always giggles every time she would mention how their dad pretends as a customer so that he can get close to her and if he's lucky, he could ask her for a date. She didn't forget to mention that their dad dressed up as an ordinary man to approach their mom so that she would not be suspicious about him.
Hailee also includes the times she chases their dad to offer him a project, the Dream City, their very own kingdom.
She went to P Country to personally meet him. And every time Hailee recalled that elevator encounter that it's not a pure coincidence at all, the three girls and the younger nannies squeal. They always love to hear it over and over again.
They think it was so sweet that the woman he was looking for suddenly appeared in front of him, and so he never misses the opportunity that she will be his.
Vincent has been telling her what strategies he would plan out to make it a natural encounter. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
"Wifey, I could feel that when our children finally came out to see the world. They will request to hear their parent's love story and it will be their favorite bedtime stories."
Hailee giggled, concurring Vincent's conclusion. She also thought about that and so, she started drafting a children's story that features her childhood. This is one of her surprises for Vincent.
She will write a glimpse of her childhood and the first book is about Friendship.
Just to think about it, Hailee's chest is filled with warmth. The people who brought happiness to her after her mom died in an accident are now called knights.
A simple Friendship that becomes Family as time passes by.
"Wifey, are you thinking about something?" Vincent asked when he saw Hailee was in a trance after she laughed.
"I'm just remembering all of my friends and how blessed I am."
"I see." Vincent smiled. He wished he could embrace her and kiss her. "I could relate to how you feel. I just met your knights but I feel honored to work with them."
"When I haven't told dad about you, yet. I'm really worried that they will storm P Country and beat you up until you turn into a pulp. Somehow, Liam's threats have become a way that you can be closer to them."
"It was like a blessing in disguise when Liam planned out to break your engagement with Bryan." Vincent recounts. "And then his endless attempt to kill me made me close to your knights and we build a good brotherhood now. Also, I'm glad that your knight accepts me completely."
"I'm overjoyed every time I think of that hubby. Nothing that will make me happy is to see you all get along."
Vincent nodded his head as he muttered, "I promised, Wifey. I will even work harder to show to everyone that I am worthy to stand by your side."
He didn't expect that Hailee would be emotional. He watched her head lowered, then heard Hailee's sobs. Vincent quickly coaxes his wife and showers her with cheesy-sweet corny lines. Hailee immediately stopped crying and now she's laughing loudly in the next half hour.
After she settled down, she notified Vincent. "Hubby, mom Hilda finished preparing my bath. She puts herbs, leaves, and flowers to help soothe my muscles."
"I'm happy that mom is doing a great job. I wonder what rewards she wants to receive." Vincent curled his lips when he saw his mom halt in her tracks.
"Stop talking nonsense! What do you think of me? I earned millions during my younger days! I don't need your payment!"
Vincent grinned while staring at his mom after she didn't let off his tease but deliberately made a comment. Actually, Vincent wittingly jokes on his mom as he knows what temperament she had.
She may be truly stern and snobbish. But a gold heart is buried in her heart. She acted firmly not to be bullied.
"Mom, I know you need not money. The reason Hailee and I work harder to give you four grandchildren at once."
Hilda widened her eyes when her son blabbed a sensual topic. She grew up being a conservative person and so for her, this kind of stuff is supposed to be just a conversation between a couple.
Vincent laughed when his mom rolled her eyes at him.
"Alright. Get lost now and Hailee needs to drink her tonic after bath."
"Okay, mom. Thank you." Vincent wishes to convey his gratitude to his mom and let her know how blessed he was to have an amazing mom like her. But because she was too stringent, he could not figure out how to express his love for his mom. So what he did is listen to anything that she would say, follow whatever she want for her, and do everything not to provoke her. Until Hailee came into his life.
Love truly moves in mysterious ways.
Not only for someone you feel in love with but also for people you call family. Love can teach you many things you never thought were possible.
As well, love can bring peace to one's life. Now they are living in harmony and helping each other in any way that they could offer based on their capability.
While his dad-in-law gave him all the resources he needed to win every battle that he had, he was at peace knowing his mom is taking care of his wife in her difficult pregnancy.
"I love you, mom." Out of the blue, said Vincent to his mom.
Hilda didn't see it coming that Vincent would show sweetness toward her. She did her best to conceal her emotion. But she failed to hide the glistening water in her eyes and so, Hilda glared at Vincent to ease the embarrassment she felt.
"You don't need to act sweet to me. I am taking care of your wife and your heirs with all of my heart."
After Hilda said that, Hailee hugged her and said.
"I also love you, mom!"
This time, Hilda could no longer suppress her emotion. She honestly was irrational before because she just wanted to avoid any scandalous situation for them. She is always in dilemma.
"Would the two of you stop?" Hilda simply wipes her eyes.
Vincent chuckled when his mom still did it elegantly. Her sophistication is on another level. "I love you both and of course my sisters."
"I love our family!" Hailee happily chanted...

Vincent has been successful in meeting the people he was courting to take his side. The meeting was in secret but Vincent is still vigilant and believes that Samuel Miller has eyes to all places that he went to.
One evening, Vincent was seated on a long couch, patiently waiting for his very important guest tonight.
On the deck, a helicopter landed on the helipad. A man wearing a navy blue suit gets out from the chopper and walks to the man casually leaning on the railings.
"Yo, John Jackson!"
"James…" John nodded at the guy.
Before coming here, he receives a report that Vincent Shen has been seeing around Northeastern territories. He didn't expect that James would also be here. He has knowledge that Pitterson Cha has been seeing on Vincent's side.
But this time, James White is also here. He would prefer meeting Pitt rather than James because Pitt is calmer than James. This guy only knows violence.
"Welcome aboard! I will show you the way."
"Then, I would be honored." John understands that he needs to play with their game if he wants to get out alive here.
"Nah. Drop the crap. Come on! Vincent is still occupied in video calling with the princess. So wait for a moment in the game room."
The game room James mentioned is an area where a pool table and another activity. There is also a huge TV and other knights watching football while some hang out in the bar for drinks.
"Hey, John! You're finally here!"
It surprised John to see more men boarded on the princess' superyacht.
"Hey, join us playing pool!" Mikael Davidson invited him. John also sees Lucas Martel and Rob Dawson playing billiards.
'Why are they also here?" he thought.
