Chapter 361 - Possessive In His Own Way
Hilda heard Sheena. She couldn't stop meddling and reminded her youngest daughter. "That is unnecessary, as Hailee is pregnant. I am not using that's an excuse, but you know she was in a sensitive condition."
"Mom, don't worry. We won't overdo it." Sheena would not let her mom get involved in the planning or else it won't be that enjoyable!
"I know how you will come up with crazy ideas which Hailee is…"
"Mom, trust me! We will just have an all-girls bonding time!" Sheena cut her mom's statement.
Hilda is trying to insist but her daughter is not giving her a chance. 'This daughter of mine!'
"Mom, Sheena… Actually, I already told the men that I want a joint party and they agreed. But before that, we girls and the boys will have our own party on that day, then we will have the joint party in the evening." Hailee could not just let them argue with her bachelorette party, which is unnecessary when she is already pregnant.
"Well, in that case… You can throw a bridal shower during the day, but if you plan to do it at night, I won't allow it."
Sheena rolled her eyes. "Okay, mom. Don't worry."
"Sheena Marie!"
"Mom, stop dropping my full name." Sheena put out her tongue before she dragged Hailee toward the SUV that was waiting. "Where should we have a meeting where no boys can eavesdrop on us?"
Sheena is asking Hailee, but her gaze is at her brother.
Vincent frowned. He is absolutely not interested in having a separate party. He doesn't care about his bachelor party as he didn't like to have one, but Carl and Rodney are eager to throw his bachelor party.
Honestly, he need not say goodbye to his single life when nothing he dreams of is being with the woman who held his heart for many years before this very day that finally, he will tie a knot with her soon.
"So, where could we discuss it, bro?" Carl put his hand on Vincent's shoulder. Who, the guy, is throwing a murderous glare he only ignores.
"We all can have the meeting on the rooftop. The girls can occupy the tea room and we men can use the bar room. Let's drink tonight!" Pitt suggested.
"Alright!" Rodney threw his knuckles at Pitt.

It's only been five days, and it's the wedding day. More close friends, families, and relatives arrived in Dream City that for many, it was more likely a family reunion.
That morning, Vincent was at Hailee's office to give the progress of the tower's finished design. Later, someone rushed inside without knocking.
"Boss!"
"Timothy Cheng, have I given you so much favor lately?" Vincent is throwing fire breath at his assistant for a reason that he and Hailee are making out after his presentation when this man suddenly enters the office without knocking.
Tim has no time to think about that. Besides, he is already used to his two bosses displaying their affection in front of others.
"I'm sorry, boss and boss... But I have to report it to you, instantly." He reasons out, ignoring his boss's fury.
Vincent, on the other hand, wished to drop his assistant from that floor. He crossed his arm and gave his assistant a sidelong glare. "Alright. Now make sure your report is worth saving your life."
Tim bathes with a cold sweat. He didn't notice that Pitt and James were behind him watching this interesting scene. Vincent saw Hailee's knights at the door, but he didn't care to show his true self.
It made him realize he didn't need to go easy on his employees. He must show the same leadership and discipline he showed to them when he managed Shen Group.
Being the new CEO of Davies Corporation soon is a place something like a swamp; he could not reach his foot at the bottom so he had to swim in it. He has to prove to the world that he deserves it not because he married the heir, but because he is capable of taking over this giant company.
Tim stared at his boss. He knew he was not joking with him. His boss is a gentle and kind man on the inside, but in front of other people, especially his competitors, he showed a stern attitude.
"I'm sorry for not knocking, boss! Please, I also wanted to get married and have children."
"Speak," Vince ordered coldly.
"Boss, Rubin Lim is here."
"Why is he here? Do we have a meeting with him?"
"Hello, Mr. Shen!" Rubin Lim, a representative from Li-Shang Enterprise, appeared behind Pitt and James. The two men give way to him, letting him enter the office. "I'm here to deliver my two masters' wedding gifts to your wedding.
Rubin places the suitcase he is carrying on the floor. He opened it and took out three bottles of wine.
"Our new products that are scheduled to launch next month. My boss would love for you to have the honor of tasting them."
"We would love to taste it!" Pitt and James rushed toward Rubin's side and scanned the wine. Rubin gave it to them, winking at Vincent.
"We will let the other men have a taste of them," said James. He and Pitt disappear from Hailee's office in an instant.
Hailee chuckled. Her knight actually has simple happiness, and that is drinking. "Theo's strategy is brilliant."
Vincent blinks his eyes upon contemplating whether he should get jealous that his wife is praising another man. However, he knew Hailee meant nothing about that. Theo is his good friend as well as a business partner.
"These wines look sweet."
"Yup! It was made from raspberries. We will produce a sparkling one and something with higher alcohol," Rubin explained. He took out another bottle and handed it to Vincent.
"I'll get the glasses!" Tim volunteered; he strode toward the console table where Hailee's wine glasses were neatly placed on a glass serving tray.
Vincent opened the bottle and poured the red content on the glasses, one he handed to Hailee. "It's sparkling wine, so it has no alcohol."
"Thank you, hubby." Hailee delightedly took the wineglass from Vince's hand. She carefully swirls her glass, watching the liquid's motion. She drew the glass into her nose and inhaled the pleasant aroma that lingers in her nose.
Vincent coughs when Tim and Rubin never leave their eyes off Hailee. His glare warned the two men that it was forbidden to look at his wife.
Although he understood it was Hailee's elegance what draws these men to watch her, he wanted to remind them they can't gawk at his wife as he is possessive in his own way.
