His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 354 - The Man She Trust

Bryan turned his head toward Pitt and caught the guy smiling at him mockingly. Pitt was once very close to him. But after the scandal and breakup he had with Hailee, Pitt has hated him since then.

His anger shakes the hell, the reason he took every opportunity he could take revenge on him. Lately, Pitt is constantly slapping him on the face by showing that the princess is much happier now with Vincent than with him in the past, who was Hailee's favorite person in the world once.

He is pissed because he could not be annoyed at Pitt as he sees too. The smile and sparks in Hailee's eyes are evidence she is happy with Vincent. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Bryan didn't leave his gaze at Hailee, and he could feel Vincent flashing sharp glares at him, but he just ignored him. Even though Hailee will be his wife soon, Bryan won't hold himself to show that he still cares for Hailee.

May he not be Hailee's best friend anymore, who was the best man before, and the most trusted guy to her, but he still shares the same dream. He wanted to complete Dream City and watch its progress.

Vincent cannot stop him. But he will stand a distance because Hailee's happiness is the most important thing in the world right now.

Bryan could still feel those sharp stares in his direction. He pulled out his phone and typed a quick message, and pressed the send button. He met Vincent's eye, who later lowered his gaze to read the text message.

Vincent frowned after he read the text.

It was from Bryan saying, "I'm looking and listening to my boss's discussion. You don't need to make the room hard to breathe for both of us, boss' husband."

Vincent raises one brow upward while typing a reply. "I'm just reminding you she is mine now."

After sending the message, Vincent put the gadget back into his coat pocket and focused on Hailee.

Meanwhile, Bryan checks his phone when a message arrives. He already guessed that it was from Vincent, and he wanted to dig a pit after he read the reply. The guy knew how to annoy him and added salt to his wounds.

Bryan hurls a deep sigh inwardly. Even though he would fret, it's useless because Vincent is right. Hailee now belongs to someone else as he wasted the opportunity he had back then.

"Hey!"

Bryan looks at Pitt's hand, tapping his shoulder. He lifted his gaze and snapped at Pitt, "What?"

"Would you attend Eva's funeral?"

Bryan was stunned for a moment. He heard about Eva's death, and Ruth called him to ask about it, but he couldn't decide if it was smart if he showed up in Metro City.

Although he and Eva were in a relationship, it's not really stable, and it's more like an open relationship. They can be together, or they can be together with someone else. But after he completed his course in the US and focused on helping Hailee build Dream City, he completely cut whatever he and Eva had.

Bryan looked at Pitt after he weighed things. He shook his head and asked Pitt, "Do you think it would help to douse the issue? Or will it create a new one?"

"Yeah. The world wanted to reveal Eva's boyfriend, and it was only you who she had a steady relationship with, right?"

"We are on and off, yes. I never thought of marrying her, but I am her longest boyfriend indeed." Bryan sat straight in his seat and fixed his eyes on Hailee. "I will visit Eva's grave after the princess' wedding if I visit now, and it will add to the fire, and I don't want to stress her further." ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

It already stressed Hailee how to finish her wedding preparation. They have to accommodate thousands of very important guests, so he doesn't want to add more problems for Hailee.

"Well, you are right." Pitt agreed to Bryan, and he couldn't deny that he was correct. It is not the best time. And even though Bryan doesn't love Eva, they were together before. "Do you know who killed her?"

Bryan nodded. "It is confirmed, right? Liam, who gave the order?"

"Yes. The syndicate he joined is a giant organization, and master Shun is still having difficulties taking them down in an instant. But now that Liam Huo is in prison, these people will have a harder time continuing to operate in Asia."

"But they were still there," Bryan remarked.

"Yeah." Pitt was about to say another word to Bryan, but Leo called out to him.

"Hey… Hailee is asking you." Leo was seated near them and so he could hear their conversation. Even so, his other ear was listening to Hailee while eavesdropping on these two men here.

"What?" Pitt suddenly was sweating. He didn't pay attention anymore but focused on gossiping with Bryan like they used to do in the old days. "I'm sorry, princess. Bryan and I are planning for Vincent's bachelor party. Can you repeat your question?"

Instantly, Bryan shot a dagger look at Pitt for dragging him to his craziness. It was Pitt who began gossiping at him, and now this guy is embarrassing him.

On the other hand, Hailee only raised an eyebrow and retorted, "There is no bachelor party."

"Hah?"

Pitt was dumbfounded, and Hailee wanted to burst out laughing to take him off-guard with her announcement. She already noticed that Pitt and Bryan were busy gossipings.

Although she could not hear them, they were not paying attention, so Hailee wanted to play further.

"There was only a joint party for boys and girls."

"I see." Pitt scratches his head., he laughed nervously. "Okay."

"Yeah. I don't want to see the groomsmen in my wedding were full of bruises, swollen lips, and dark circles caused by Vincent's punches."

"Oh…" the room filled with men's challenging tones while the girls laughed.

Bryan couldn't take his eyes away from Hailee. She is really a different person, and she deliberately boasts how she believes in and trusts her soon-to-be husband.

The way she said those words. She was very confident that Vincent was a very competitive man. Somehow, it caused pain in his heart, as he was still jealous.

There is no other man he wishes she would believe in, but him only.. However, he would never be that man anymore, and he must accept the truth.
