Chapter 364 - THIS IS OUR STORY
After having dessert, Vincent and Hailee didn't stay long as it was getting late at night.
As the men planned to get drunk tonight, Shun also took his exit and made an excuse that Cassandra needed to get rest.
The four of them together took the elevator and headed to the top floor of this courtyard.
"Good night, Cassie."
"Night, Hail!"
"Good night, princess," said Shun.
"Good night, Shun. Thank you for everything."
Shun gives Hailee a warm embrace and kisses her cheek. He muttered, "Small thing. You and Vincent stop thanking me, okay?"
Hailee glanced at Vincent and smiled at her husband. Shun also gave Vincent a warm hug and patted his back.
"Good night, man."
After that, the two couples head in different directions.
After changing into her silk nightgown, Hailee slid under the covers. She immediately threw her arms and snuggled Vince when he joined her on the bed, and he fixed his position that Hailee would be comfortable.
"What do you think of Shun and Cassie?"
Suddenly, Hailee asked him this question. Vincent fell into deep thoughts, pondering what exactly Hailee wanted to hear from him.
He may have impressions stuck in his head, but he won't dare to voice them out since he isn't a gossipy person about other lives, like how he wanted other people to stay away from his personal affairs.
After a moment of silence, he asked Hailee. "What do you want to hear from me?"
He understands that Hailee is waiting for him to say something, so he has to determine his answer. However, Hailee didn't reply but waited for him to figure it out himself. He can say a few things like Shun has a beautiful wife, but of course, Hailee is more beautiful in his eyes.
"Alright. I don't know which one I should say..." Of course, he wouldn't dare to gossip about the guy. Still, Shun is everyone's superior, including his dad. "But… How old is his wife? She seems to be too young, like an eighteen-year-old girl."
Hailee widens her smile after Vince finally guessed the one she wanted to hear. "Have you heard the news about Shun?"
Vince replied, "There is news reaching me, but who am I to judge him? There is news that can be true or just purely gossip."
"Yeah. We cannot fully trust the media. Many of these news stories comprise baseless rumors and a lack of evidence. It was just all about something to report, and Shun's gossip is just a half-truth. Sometimes they saw him in France with a beautiful woman. Or next time paparazzi releases a photo that Shun is with a pregnant young woman, then in a few months, he is in the South Cape with another woman. Most people didn't know about Cassie or what she looks like since there is no information you can find on the internet like mine."
"Yeah. If I only found a single photo of you on the internet, it won't take me three years but soon to find you."
Hailee gazed at Vincent and uttered, "Shun didn't leave any photos of me being Hailee Davies, but very basic information with my fake identity as Hailee Hillson."
"No wonder I could never track you down. I'll be honest. Dad, run an investigation about you. But everything is just ordinary."
Hailee giggled before she continued. "Yeah, and we have to make sure of that. And regarding Cassie and Shun's case. People always mistake Shun for having many young mistresses because Cassie never changes."
"Changes like?" Vincent is perplexed on that part. He is certain that they weren't talking about fictional creatures here, such as vampires.
Vincent raised an eyebrow when he could feel Hailee's body shaking as she suppressed to let out her laugh.
"This is not about something like what is running in your head at the moment," Hailee explained to Vince.
He couldn't deny that. He concludes Hailee meant those kinds that are found in books.
"Wait, Miss Cassandra is Lady Isabella's younger sister, right? The one who is going to reincarnate over again?"
"Yeah, and Shun."
Until now, Vincent still couldn't convince himself to believe about all of this happening to them. "I'm still overwhelmed, and can I just pretend I know nothing?" he told Hailee.
"Of course. That is what I am doing, too. I don't understand what dad told me before, but I am slowly accepting it. That we are necessary in this world to play an important role."
Hailee and I will become Shun's great-grandparents, and Cassandra will be our great-granddaughter in law. "It's weird."
Vincent didn't notice that he spoke what was on his mind loudly. Hailee is looking at him with amusement.
"We don't need to concern ourselves about the future." Hailee understands Vincent is having difficulties accepting the mystery that surrounds them.
"Right. And so, all we have to do is focus on raising our family."
"Yes, hubby. Because our children and grandchildren will carry out the future."
"I like that." He is slowly accepting the future that awaits them. Vincent knows it will be a bumpy road, but he needs these trials to widen the range of his perception as a father and as a grandfather in the near future.
The two of them will do this together.
"I am so happy that I was destined for you. I won't mind if we are only tools for the future. Instead, I am honored because you are the man I would spend my whole life with."
Hailee mumbled with droopy eyes. She yawned and buried her face into Vince's broad chest as his warmth gave her security.
Watching Hailee doing that, he let out a sexy laugh. He lowered his mouth to place a kiss on her forehead and hair.
"I love you, Wifey… Waiting for you my whole life is all worth it because I have the chance to walk life with you."
'Our adventure has just begun. I won't promise, but I will do it. We will do everything we can to become great parents. I know we will not become perfect for everything, but we can always work on it.'
This is our life, and this is our story…
