His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 415 - I Dont Want To

Solaris Hotel

At the parking lot, John immediately climbed into the driver's seat of his car and punched the steering wheel. What happened in the men's room keeps playing in his head.

No wonder Liam had difficulties walking when he saw him on the news a few months ago. Vincent had mentioned that Hailee, who shot Liam, caused him to be crippled now. Liam must have had an operation on his knees and replaced it with steel to walk.

The person responsible is the princess. She actually had the tenacity to shoot her first knight, which in his eyes, she is just a fragile princess whose knights pamper her so much.

John could not believe she could really do it. But after his conversation with the princess, he proves she could actually go rogue, and this is because of Vincent Shen, as she was overprotective of him.

And regarding Vincent Shen. He did not rely only on the support he got from his wife and father-in-law. He could sense that was true as he tasted Vincent's anger after he provoked him. The same as what the princess felt, Vincent's bottom line was also her.

J Group has been prosperous because of Liam's support. However, it was Davies Corporation who dominated everywhere in Australia.

If Davies blocked them, it would undermine their operations, which tonight's encounter didn't have a good result but only angered the heiress. He was lucky that she didn't order her knights, Pitt and James, to beat him up, which he knew how those two were hot-tempered when the person involved was her.

After the princess left, he found them outside. The two men were actually guarding the door so that no one interrupted the princess to say her piece.

John felt helpless thinking about this now. He must talk to his father and make careful plans regarding their operations in Australia, particularly in Sydney.

Liam may still be capable of making someone's life in hell. However, he was locked up now while Vincent Shen was the free one and soon will dominate the business world under Davies Corporation.

Regardless, John has his other worries. His father is too loyal to Liam Huo. It will be a family matter if he and his father are not on the same page.

A little while back... 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Vincent entered the dining hall and immediately swept his gaze, looking for Hailee. However, he didn't spot his wife. He kept looking for her when Mikael approached him and grabbed his arm.

"Come on, bro."

"I need to find my wife first." Vincent refused, but Mikael was persistent.

"What are you worried about? Pitt and James are with her. I saw them escorting her out of the dining hall."

When Mikael says this, he notices that other men are now taking the seats they had occupied before. If those two men are with Hailee, then he could rest assured and stop worrying.

Vincent followed Mikael and went back to his seat.

"There you are, Mr. Shen! We are just talking about you."

"Oh. Is that so?" Vincent raises an eyebrow upward. "What gossip is that?"

"Ah. Don't think we are gossiping about you! We were just impressed by you. The reason we can't stop talking about you."

One man explained that he concurred with the rest of that table. Vincent also noticed that more men came over and stood on the side to join their conversation.

"That's right, Vincent! We are discussing my latest project with Rob, and you are the person we have in mind!" said Mikael. to Martel Industry if you agree to design for us."

"Project?" Vincent asked curiously.

"Yes! I have been eyeing investing in cruise ships for so many years now. But the demands these days are people choosing to have yacht parties and renting superyachts for their travels. High Society is more selecting luxurious voyages such as private trips. So, Rob and I just made a deal with Lucas, and we hope you can design for us."

Vincent pondered for a moment. He doesn't want to give an immediate answer, as he has a few things to consider, and that is his time. He was under his father-in-law's supervision, learning all the aspects of how Davies Corporation operates.

Aside from that, he wants to give all of his spare time to watch Hailee's pregnancy.

Vincent was immersed in chatting with the men on the table; he didn't notice that Hailee had come back.

Seeing that Vincent had a serious talk with the other men he had just met tonight, Hailee went back to the girl's table and let him mingle with them. But before midnight, Hailee bid farewell, as she was getting too tired.

The party had just gotten heated after a DJ played upbeat songs. Hailee told Pitt and James to stay partying. She and Vincent could return to their suite by themselves.

"Wifey, do you want to drink anything?" asked Vincent while he was drying up his wet body with a towel in his hand.

Hailee had already washed up and changed into silk pajamas with Vincent's help. When Vincent asked her, she only hummed as her response.

It occupied Vincent's mind with the business proposal Lucas offered him. That's why he didn't notice that something was different with Hailee.

He walked toward a drawer and pulled out a white boxer, wore it, and then chose the same pajama Hailee is wearing tonight, but he remained shirtless. After putting on the lower pajamas, Vincent stepped out of the walk-in closet and fetched Hailee some water.

While Vincent is away, Hailee stares at her reflection in the mirror. The soft gaze in her eyes and sweet smile on her lips disappear. Instead, it replaced with a dagger look that her eyes were blades; the mirror was already shattered into pieces.

"Wifey, are you not hungry? Do you want me to fix you something?" While heading back to the walk-in closet, Vincent asked Hailee, combing her hair.

Hailee immediately parted her mouth into a smile as she looked up at Vince when he came back. She shook her head as a response and then drank the water in one gulp.

"I'm still very full with the dessert I've eaten. My dietician would scold me again for consuming too many sweets," she said calmly.

"Then, can you lessen it in the next few days?" Worries appeared on Vincent's face.

Hailee nodded, pulled him closer to her, and claimed his lips.

"The boys stole you from me all evening," said Hailee coquettishly after the kiss. She is not angry. She just wanted to act cute.

Vincent chuckled as he watched how Hailee's enticing lips form into a pout. He carried her to the bed and carefully put her down, then he leaned over and kissed her feverishly. He parted Hailee's lips with his tongue to deepen the kiss while it wandered inside her mouth.

Hailee moaned. She pulled Vincent's neck as she slowly lay down on the bed. Heat erupted between them, but they both knew that it was not safe to make love anymore, but they must take extra precautions that Hailee was having multiple babies.

Vincent parted his lips from Hailee to let her breathe some air. He planted soft kisses all over her face and neck while panting. He was in the mood, but he had to suppress his desires.

"You must be tired. Mom will scold me if I let you stay up late."

Hailee giggled when Vincent used his mom as an excuse. She nodded her head and obediently tucked under the quilt. She cuddled Vincent after she found her comfortable position.

Not long, they both fall asleep. But Hailee woke up due to needing to go to the restroom. Hailee slowly got out of the bed. Vincent moves and sits up, but Hailee presses him on the bed.

"I'm just going to the toilet. I'll be back."

Vincent tried to open his eyes, but he was dozing off. He only manages to nod and settle back to the bed.

Hailee made it to the toilet room and went back to bed after. However, she could not fall asleep again until it was about time for the sun to rise.

Vincent was woken up by someone groaning helplessly. He realized it was Hailee, who was already bathed in a cold sweat.

"Wifey, are you okay? What's the matter?" He began panicking, seeing the tired expression on her face. "Are you in pain?"

Hailee is breathing heavily. It was what Vincent noticed. He jumped off the bed and hurriedly went to the console table, poured Hailee a glass of water, and helped her drink.

"Do you want me to bring you to the hospital? I will call an emergency."

Hailee shook her head. "I don't want to."

"But, Wifey…" he could not stand seeing Hailee seem to suffer from unknown pain.
