His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 405 - Mine Is Yours

Hailee sat up from lying down on the lounge chaise to better look at Vincent. She reached for his face, held him, and kissed his lips.

She whispered, "I never doubted you since the very beginning."

Vincent had a very tender look in his eyes, brushing his fingers on Hailee's hair.

"That makes me feel so blessed. I was actually too delighted when you agreed to be my contractual mistress… I was scared that you would think of me as an irresponsible man, as I am desperate to get my divorce. However…"

Vincent paused and poked Hailee's nose, broadening the silly smile on her lips.

"However… you have no idea that I already know about Eva." Hailee finished Vincent's words.

"Yes, my darling." Vincent brushed his lips on top of Hailee's and murmured, "It was mind-blowing every time I look back on how our lives tangled because of some people we crossed."

"I concurred with you, hubby. I have known Eva because of Bryan. But Liam is actually the one who caused our misunderstanding. And then, when I found you and fell in love with you… It was Liam, again, who tried to separate us from each other."

"But thanks to the people surrounding us. They took a very important role in our life that now, that I have you in my life forever."

"You are right, Mr. Shen… and so, we have to write a Thank-You card for all of them. It will be Christmas soon! I wanted to send them handwritten greetings."

"Hmm… If everyone, that would be at least hundreds of handwritten letters."

"Yup! So, I have to write at least five cards a day or more to send out when December arrives."

"Okay. But if you aren't feeling well, take a break and rest." Vincent reminded Hailee as Doctor Dave warned them that Hailee would be difficult in the last trimester. "Please, tell me if there are places you would like to visit. I will manage my schedule to accompany you."

"I would love that! I may have come every time I am feeling better. So, I will tell you ahead before we leave the mansion."

"Okay, Wifey." Vincent kissed Hailee once again.

He could say that simple communication can even draw them closer; at the same time, it made him feel at ease.

"Thank you. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Honestly, I am worried that you are anxious about me; might everyone be causing trouble for me? Like I told you earlier, having faith in me is more than enough. Let me protect you instead, rather than protecting me. Let me be the man you can trust the most."

Hailee held back the tears that threatened to escape from her eyes. Vincent's words were like sweet promises that Bryan once broke. But she believes in Vincent. Ever since she met him and got to know him well, he never stops showing how much he loves her like she is his very existence. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

"You occupy a big space inside my heart. Although it will also occupy soon by our sons, then dad who took the second, Andre, and you know how much I care about the men as to how they catch a bullet for me. But I want you always to remember… You are the only man my heart beats to and the man who owns my whole heart."

"And you are the only woman who owns my whole heart too…" said Vincent from the bottom of his heart.

"And our princesses too..."

"Yes... I love them and you so very much..."

This endless confession had never happened when they were dating back then because they put a wall in between them most of the time.

They both struggle to maintain a boss and employee relationship. Hailee wants Vincent for Dream City, and Vincent wants to pursue Hailee after his divorce.

Even though he wanted to confess to Hailee but thought he had a nominal wife, he doesn't wish Hailee to feel a real third party in his marriage.

There are many cases where a man promises the second woman that there is no love between him and his original wife. However, he could not actually divorce her for a particular reason.

In his case, he wanted to show Hailee that it was purely an arranged marriage between him and Eva, who has her own man.

And the reason he tried to hide his feelings and act indifferently is that all he wanted to do was wrap this woman in his arms and never let her go. As days pass by… He becomes tired of pretending.

"You are holding me so tight."

Vincent came back to his senses after Hailee complained when his hug tightened.

"Did I hurt you? How about your belly? I didn't press it hard?"

Hailee shook her head and said, "You were falling into deep thoughts. I am wondering what bothers you all of a sudden."

Vincent pursed his lips into a smile as he stroked Hailee's baby bump. He leaned over, kissing her belly before he moved to her lips.

Hailee was a little curious about Vincent's sudden strange behavior. He suddenly went quiet.

"What's wrong?" asked Hailee.

"I'm just reminiscing about the time we were in Metro City."

"Is it those times you were pretending I am your pretend mistress?" f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

There is a tease in her tone that causes Vincent to chuckle sexily. Seeing him laugh like that, Hailee remembered something.

"Hubby, do you remember what we talked about when I was in my office at DV Inc.?"

Vincent tilted his head to the side and rolled his eyes to recall it.

"You have forgotten now." Hailee pouted and pretended she was irritated now. However, Vincent is also playing along.

"I might have, so I need a kiss to remember what it is," he said playfully, causing Hailee to laugh out loud.

Meanwhile, hearing the laughter inside, Tina and Tim, who were at the door, shared a meaningful look. They were reluctant to press that buzzer on the door and disturb the happy moments of their bosses.

However, the folders in their hands are very heavy. The male boss wanted to review them to understand how Davies Corporation had its humble beginnings and expanded as an empire to the entire world.

Rather than be scolded later, Tim had decided to interrupt his boss. He holds the folders in one arm, and his other arm knocks on the door.

"Probably it was Tim. I asked him to get all the data regarding Davies Corporation. It was the very first thing I should have done—is to learn and understand the core of this company…."

"Our company…" Hailee corrected Vincent. She went on, "What I have is also yours, like how you wanted me to own everything that you have. Suppose you will only think of this company as only me who owns it. Then I would think that you will only treat it half-heartedly. So, please think that this company is your life, your family, and your very own children."

"I promised to care and love this company as I know how important this is for you."

Vincent lifted his right arm, pushed the strands of hair that covered Hailee's cheek, tucked them behind her ears, then brushed his lips into hers...

The light smooch became a fervor kiss that left them both gasping for air.

"Hubby, did we forget something?"

"Do we?"

Hailee nodded her head. She was still chasing her breath after the kiss. Slowly, her eyes dramatically widened as she remembered what they had forgotten.

"Tim has been waiting at the door!"
