His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 340 - Curiousity

Hailee snuggled Vince's body after she found the most comfortable position on the bed. Now that her belly is growing a bump every day, it has become a little uncomfortable for her to lie flat on the bed.

"Come here, Wifey." Vince carefully held her in his arms as she rested her head on his shoulder. He placed a kiss on her hair, then ran his fingers on them.

"Bruce came to inform us about Liam's upcoming trial soon. Carl will prepare to go to the US the day after tomorrow, and James wanted to tag along," he began.

"Oh. I see. That's good."

Vince heard Hailey heaving a long sigh.. He guessed she recalled distant memories. He hadn't listened to the whole story about that guy but enough for him to enrage.

Liam has given Hailee a lot of trouble in the past, and now, he's still doing it.

"You need not bother to think about him." Vince lifted his right hand to brush Hailee's cheek as he tried to comfort her.

Hailee smiled, looking straight into his eyes. "I wanted to forget everything about him and just think about you, our children, and our future. However, it really made me sad that Liam became like that."

"A person always changes. It may be for bad or for good..."

Vincent tried to pick out the perfect words to soothe whatever Hailee was feeling at the moment, but he was not good at comforting.

"But my love for you will never change," he added.

Hailee tightens her embrace around Vince's waist, rubbing her face into his sturdy chest.

"You were treating me so well even before you knew who I was… Oh. You were already in love with me back then, that's why..." she playfully glared at Vince.

Vince chuckled after the flash of memories from these passing months passed his head. That was true, and it was a crazy ride how he suppressed himself not to confess to this girl.

But he doesn't want her to feel she is truly a mistress, the reason he did his best to get his divorce before he will confess and courted her.

However, things didn't go as he wished because Liam manipulated Eva to ruin Hailee and Bryan's marriage plan.

Well, he is honestly glad that happens. But then, Liam finally found Hailee acting as someone's mistress, and Eva was again used by him and this time to compromise their divorce!

To look back, things are so mysterious of how they all become connected to each other.

Who would have thought that Eva's boyfriend was Hailee's best friend who later became her fiance…

"Hubby?"

Vince came back to his senses after Hailee touched his face. He lowered his gaze at her and asked, "I'm sorry, wifey… I'm just thinking of some unimportant stuff. Did you say something?"

"I'm just saying how happy I am to be with you."

"So am I… I am so happy I finally found you," said Vince from the bottom of his heart. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I promised Liam I can no longer become the hurdle of our happiness."

"He cannot do anything anymore."

Vincent felt a little guilt. But he makes sure Hailee notices nothing yet until tomorrow.

"Hubby, if I remember correctly, James was Carl's underlings before, right?"

"Yeah. During the camp in Italy. Carl joined first because he is older than me. I then attended the camp the next summer, but when the year James joined in, I didn't go back to the camp. Instead, I chose to work in the company to be trained by dad how to manage the company. But even though I didn't continue the training at the Camp, butler Roberto taught me all the self-defense I needed to know."

As she keenly listens to Vince's story, she suddenly grows excited. "Does it include swordsmanship?"

Vince nodded and smiled. "Do you want to see me practicing?"

Hailee's eyes twinkle. She imagines Vince going through those fantastic martial arts moves and then the swordsman's actions while wielding a blade in the air.

"Yes, hubby. I would love to!"

Vince widened the smile on his lips. Hailee was like a bit of a child that was promised to go to the amusement park.

"Alright. Let me show it to you tomorrow morning," he promised.

"Really?" Hailee sat up on the bed to have a better look at Vince's face when he made that promise.

"Yes. So, come here and?let us take some rest now."

"Okay!" But then, she remembered something. She asked, "How about your meetings?"

"Nothing to worry about. I can do a video conference after. I don't need to go to the company."

'How bossy.' She beamed. Anyway, that was her doing as she was often outside Australia. Either she was in Dubai or somewhere in Europe.

"Okay, hubby." Hailee initiates the kiss. She was touched that Vince always gave time to her.

Vincent is supposed to be busier as he turns over his old projects to his best senior engineers. Not only that, but he is also evaluating the newly hired ones to handle the new projects.

Recently, Shen Group needed more skilled architects and engineers, which made Vince busy the most. Even if he is resigning as the CEO of Shen Group, he is still a major stakeholder of the company, and so, he wanted to continue the best service they could offer to all clients that they have already and the new ones soon.

He had so many dream projects in the whole country. Even if his life would be in Australia the most, he will make sure to be updated on everything that he proposed to the national government.

His vision and mission will remain wherever he is... P Country is his motherland, whatever blood that runs in his veins.

"Thank you so much, hubby," said Hailee. Vincent is very meticulous in his works, which have become his trademark, and it was the exact reason she wanted him for Dream City.

"By the way, Wifey. Are the ones you talked to earlier are Shun's wife and Daichi Isagawa's wife?"

"Yes, hubby," she replied coquettishly.

Vincent could sense the suppressed giggles from Hailee. Now he was intrigued. "Hmm... Did something happen?" he asked curiously.

Hailee pondered for a moment if she must share it with Vince. However, she thinks it should be a secret between wives.

"Hubby… just spare me with this one, okay?"

Ouch… he could not force her to confess when he also had something to hide. He stared at Hailee with so much curiosity in his eyes.

Hailee didn't want to share anything with him, but her silly smile told him it was about something very interesting.

A few hours earlier…

She has been bothered by it for many days now. She is only looking for a perfect moment to talk to the girls when they are all busy in the passing days.

While the men were drinking, she joined the girls discussing the bridesmaid's dresses, then the wedding giveaways, until the topic was changed about Kelly and Gigi if who would get married next.

Hailee was keenly looking at the girls. Her two best friends are openly sharing their feelings about their relationship.

But since she and Vince were in a different relationship stage and became parents soon, she had another issue she wanted to share with the girls as she could not share it with Vince when it involved him.

She found it a little complicated when Kelly was not experienced, moreover the three teenagers. They were too young for this stuff, to begin with, and she couldn't talk to Vera either, as she knew she had not been in a relationship.

No one she could talk to. Now that she was alone in the bedroom, she got bored waiting for Vince. She was curious about what they were discussing.

She wondered why Bruce did not report to her first or she was included in the meeting.

Hailee felt so depressed. It must be her mood swings…

'What should I do?'

She chatted with random people on her Instagram inbox until a few girls replied. She has excitedly opened a FaceTime group call with Cassandra, Riley, and Nikki.

"Hey, girls!" she was waving at them.

"Hey, Mumma, what's up?" asked Cassandra.

"Hailee! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding soon!" Nikki shrieked on the other line.

"Hi, Nikki! Thank you! Oh, Cassie! Thank god it was you. I am so glad that you are back, and I'm actually hesitant to call you. Maybe the one right there is the other you, switching at the time being… well, you know ...."

At the other end of the video call, Cassandra laughs awkwardly. "Yeah. It's really kind of hard to stay in this body, and I feel so pitiful for Shaun to bear our situation...."

Hailee's eyes gleam. She thinks this is the perfect moment for her to ask what bothers her.

"Right! So, um… Cassie… I was just curious…." She was hesitant to bring up the topic. But she has no one to ask. "How did you manage your sex life when you were always switching with your other you?"

"Huh?" Cassandra was a little shocked, including the other girls.
