His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 430 - He Is Smart

In the following days, Hailee completely recovered. Doctor Manni performed an ultrasound to check the babies' health, showing excellent results.

"They were holding tight on to their momma!" said Doctor Manni. "Continue following the menu your nutritionist and dietitian prepared, and the tonic your mom-in-law gives you is also good. I studied botany, and herb tonic teas are actually good for your health."

In the next half hour, Doctor Manni further explains and educates the soon-to-be mom and dad on what they must watch out for now that Hailee is six months pregnant.

Vincent was relieved that Hailee and the children were safe now and away from danger.

"Hubby, I am rounder than during our wedding." Hailee pouted, complaining to Vincent while they walked out of the Medical Room and headed to their bed.

Vincent is holding her waist while Hailee places her hand on her lower belly, and one is stroking in a circular motion.

"So what? I would even worry if you were thin and looked malnourished," said Vincent in his most loving voice.

Hailee giggled at Vincent's response. She knew Vincent was only trying to coax her, and he succeeded.

"Why would I complain? You were carrying my children," he added—that even brightened Hailee's mood.

"Honestly, I can't wait to get back my figure. I want to look beautiful in my eyes," said Hailee lovingly, resting her head on Vince's shoulder. They had already reached the French chaise lounge on the footbed, and Vincent sat beside her after she sat down comfortably.

"You are always beautiful in my eyes. You are the bravest and strongest woman I have ever known. So, thank you for enduring all the pain and difficulties to carry my children. Your condition isn't stable. It means your life is also in danger. I can't help but love you more and adore you my whole life."

There are beads of tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

"Should I get pregnant often so that I could listen to more of your corny but sweet lines?" It was a jest, and Vincent's sexy laughs echoed in the room.

Doctor Manni, who is casually watching the couple from the medical room, wipes the tears she didn't notice that were already falling from her eyes.

"Marlyn, did you see that? Your daughter found a great man who could bring sparks in her eyes that we had never seen before. Also, our princess is going to be a mother soon!"

Mannie was genuinely happy for her best friend's daughter. Hailee is a genuine person like her mom; both had a heart of gold.

The female doctor silently exited the room, leaving the couple to continue being intimate with each other.

Hilda is waiting patiently with Hailee's nannies, and personal maids, lounging outside might Hailee needs them.

"Doctor Manni, how are my daughter-in-law and my grandchildren?"

Mannie smiled, seeing the concern of Hailee's mom-in-law.

According to James, Madam Hilda Lopez Shen is difficult to please and has a temperament that needs to be watched out for. Yet the woman in front of her is a genuine person.

"Why don't we sit down and have some tea?" Manni suggested to Hilda, to which the latter agreed immediately.

Seated across from each other, both women had relaxed impressions on their faces. Manni then began explaining to Hilda.

"The babies are healthy, and Hailee is away from the danger of having a miscarriage, although she still needs to be cautious, as she is twenty-one weeks pregnant now. The uterus has almost completed its development. So if Hailee is put in danger again, the only choice that we have is Hailee into forced labor, which will risk her life."

Hilda's right hand that was holding the teacup trembles. She quickly put down the cup to calm herself.

"You didn't tell them about this yet…." Hilda guessed, waiting for the female doctor to concur.

Doctor Mannie nodded her head and smiled bitterly. Hilda closed her eyes and took a deep breath, reminding herself not to panic. She needs to stay calm and avoid showing such a worried face in front of her daughter-in-law.

"I think we need not tell them. Both had already anxious for each other since my son had a great battle he had to win over the Davies Corporation, then Liam Huo's men still bringing trouble."

"I understand. And don't worry, Madam Shen… My husband is on your son's side."

"Hilda… Just call me by my name. From here on, we are both taking care of Hailee."

"It's my pleasure. Then call me Manni."

Hilda smiled. "Thank you. And please, convey my gratitude to your husband. Vincent may have Jacob backing him up. Still, he needs more subordinates that would trust in his capability."

"Don't worry, Hilda. My husband acknowledges your son's talent. John is actually praising Vincent."

"I am happy, then."

"By the way, to think about the past. I still can't believe that your son and Hailee would be destined for each other. You tried to save Marlyn from the accident; maybe it was fate you crossed path with the Davies."

"Vincent and Hailee are destined to meet, yes. I met Marilyn before she and Jacob got married. They were having a vacation in Metro City."

'Should I share that I mistook Marlyn as Fred's girlfriend? Well, never mind….' Hilda thought.

During that time, she was persistent to annul the engagement with Frederick. Would Hailee and Vincent fall in love being childhood friends if Marilyn lived and became good friends?

This thought stuck inside Hilda's head all morning; she started having a scenario of Vincent and Hailee growing up close to each other. Then, she need not decide to use Eva to save Vincent's face from malicious rumors.

Later that day, she gives up having wishful thinking and accepts the fact that everything happens for a reason.

After a sumptuous lunch, Vincent has to leave to attend a meeting with the production team.

"Pitt will be by your side all the time from here on. In this way, I will be at peace," said Hailee to Vince before he left that day. "Take care, hubby."

"I will… Enjoy the rest of your day." Vincent kisses Hailee before letting go. He is less worried about her now they're back in the mansion. In here, there are several bodyguards aside from Hailee's knights.

Vincent's eyes flickered upon seeing the car waiting for him on the front porch. He owns several sports cars, but it would never compare to his wife's collection.

Everything Hailee owns is personalized design and the most expensive ones. Somehow, he is proud that the Ferrari he gifted for Hailee to drive around Metro City is his design.

It upsets him after Eva demands a brand new car from him, so he makes sure that when he got together with Hailee, she would own something that is nothing alike. Not knowing that Hailee is not just a billionaire heiress, but she held trillions, and her garage is five times bigger than his.

Not to mention owning several yachts and one of the most extensive and most expensive private jets in the world.

Vincent shook his head and pulled himself back to his senses. He descended on the steps and climbed inside the latest four-seater Bugatti that cost thirty million dollars.

Pitt was in the driver's seat, and Tim was in the passenger. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Tim handed him a folder when he was seated in the back seat.

"Gladly, many capable employees of Davies Corp. are working for them. However, many deserve to be promoted to a higher position, like what you concluded, boss," said Tim.

"It has already reached the news overseas about the reorganization you plan to do, Vincent." Pitt chimed in, his eyes remaining on the road as they trotted after exiting the giant mansion front gate.

"That's good then. Now everyone will work even diligently and show off their capabilities."

"That is definite." Pitt concurred. He speeds up a little more. He maintains a velocity as two cars follow behind them and one car leads them.

Hailee's knights were behind, and Jacob's best men were on the front. Vincent thinks it was too much, but he was not on his territory. Back in P Country, he does not need many bodyguards like this—as no one would dare to harm him but only someone like Liam Huo.

Vincent glanced on the back, and Pitt noticed him.

"The princess doesn't want to slack off in protecting you. Since Samuel Miller is a threat to her, then Hailee comprehends that who he is after was you."

"It was for Hailee's peace of mind. I understand." Vincent may say it cooly but his fists tightly clenching into a ball.

He was supposed to protect his wife, but what happened instead was the other way around.

'Then what I must do now is to win everyone in the Davies Corp.'?It was his greatest battle at the moment.

"Any news about Samuel Miller and the Jackson family?" Vincent asked, specifically for Pitt.

Pitt looked at the rearview mirror to meet Vincent's eyes.

"Kristian garnered a piece of news from the Jackson household. The father and son were often arguing now. It looks like the two are finally not on the same page."

"Heh. Did dad put our men to spy on them?" Vincent need not ask this–even so, it amuses him. "Is John willing to side with Hailee?"

"He is smart."

Pitt only muttered three words; Vincent immediately came up with a plan.

"I want to meet him in private without Samuel's watch," said Vincent.

"Copy. I will contact our men."

Vincent nodded at Pitt.. The corner of his lips contorted into a vicious smile.
