Chapter 371 - Spend The Rest Of Our Lives Together
"What's going on?" The woman asked repeatedly.
Tim's face turned pale. He turned around and faced his preggy boss.
"You—you, young madam Shen! We—we…"
Tina and Laila heave a helpless sigh after Tim only stutters while answering their lady boss.
"Please, don't misunderstand, boss. Mr. Shen had some things to deal with. Tina, who obliged to explain.
"Young madam, why did you come here? Ugh." Tim shut his mouth when Tina elbowed him, and Laila gave him a look, saying, 'Seriously? She is the owner of this company! Our boss!'
On the other hand, Tim is fuming because these two ladies don't understand him at all! He wanted to explain to the lady boss that she should understand this situation. There is no way his male boss will do something unforgivable like cheating!
Anyhow, Hailee needs no explanation. She simply walked toward the door of her office, then pressed her ear to listen to what was going on inside.
"Hmm…" After she heard enough, she pulled her head and stepped back.
She only hears faint voices, but her heart is sure of who they are.
These three men are actually very dear to her heart, though she didn't love them the same way. They are all important to him.
"Miss?"
Hailee looked at her assistant and secretary, who was perplexed. Then last, Tim. She smiled at them and said, "You didn't see me."
The three people were dumbfounded, but they understood what their lady boss meant by her request.
Hailee walks out the secret door of the Davies Group, where Pitt is waiting in the car.
"Princess? Did you forget something?" Pitt wondered. Hailee just got out of the car a few minutes ago, but she returned immediately.
"Let's go back, Pitt." Hailee walked straight to the passenger seat.
"Huh? Is the board meeting hasn't over yet?"
"They were done already, but Vincent has a meeting with the others inside our office. I better not disturb them, and I will wait for Vincent in the hotel."
"What's wrong? Aren't you able to take part in the meeting if it is regarding Dream City? Besides, you are the Chairman soon, and there is no one as important as you."
Hailee looked at Pitt, but she said nothing yet as she processed his words before replying.
"I think the more I must not use my position for my personal capriciousness."
'Why is that?' Pitt groaned inwardly. He wanted to know what really happened, and he didn't believe that it was really the reason Hailee returned to her tracks. She is clingy to Vincent, and she has all the right to interrupt the meeting.
But Pitt is wrong. For Hailee, it's something she must set boundaries for.
She went to the office after Leo and Josh told her about what they had discussed during the board meeting.
She planned that after she proposed what she came up with, she would flirt with Vincent. But it surprised that Vincent had a private talk with Bryan and Geoffrey.
Before, she is afraid that her knights will find out about Vincent and a dispute between her knights and Vincent.
Now she realizes she must not meddle with them. If the boys only treated Vincent nicely because of her words, what about if she wasn't around?
She believes they will behave as professionals toward each other. They all mature and never saw them act impulsively without reason.
Meanwhile, the three men had agreed not to have a dispute against each other, for Hailee's sake. They love her.
Vincent finished some work that morning. He rushed back to the hotel and found Hailee chatting with the newly arrived couple.
"Theo Shang!" Vincent had a long stride toward Theo and Shun lounging in the Courtyard's lobby.
"Hey, Vincent!"
The two men shook hands, had a brief hug, and patted each other's back.
Vincent swept his gaze, and he found Hailee having a cheerful chat with Theo's wife.
"Glad you're here now. You can attend my bachelor party."
"Sure!" Theo nods his head.
"I heard Hailee disagreed with what the boys came up with. I heard Daichi prepared a boxing arena," Shun chimed in.
"Nah. Hailee warned them already, and she wouldn't let her entourage attend such games. Even I should not participate, but only watch everyone competing in car and motorbike race competitions. More in the boxing game."
"Well, your wife just makes sure everyone looks presentable at your wedding," Theo remarked that causing them to laugh.
"Yeah." Vincent concurred afterward.
Honestly, he has no problem with that since he only looks forward to this wedding day. He is happy that he could give Hailee a grand wedding, and she really deserves that.
"By the way, your wedding day is also your birthday, right?" asked Theo.
"That's right. It was Hailee who chose this date," Shun remark.
"So, what gift do you want? Should I have shipped more wine?"
"Nah. Expecting three kids of mine is the best gift I have already received."
Theo and Shun shared a knowing look. Of course, they felt the same way as Vincent. Who's a man who doesn't get excited after learning he has become a father?
They were the happiest man in the world when the woman they loved dearly conceived them, children.
"Congratulations to us!" Theo raises the champagne and clinked glasses with Shun and Theo.
Not long after, Nancy announced that lunch was ready. Vincent walked toward Hailee and led her toward the dining area. Shun and Theo also take their wives. Both women are close to their due, and the two men were careful with them.
Well, he was too. He treated Hailee like a fragile object or a delicate flower that needed careful tending.
Vincent saw his mom and dad, along with his father-in-law, already seated at a round table. He pulled Hailee into a chair and helped her sit down.
Soon the chef assigned to make Hailee's diet arrived with the meal she requested to prepare today's lunch.
After the sumptuous lunch, Hailee excuses herself to get some rest. She's even feeling heavier than she could not stop herself from eating a lot of every meal, as there are multiple babies inside her belly.
Hailee was comfortable lounging on the sofa. She heaves a satisfying sigh after Vincent massages her lower back. In these passing days, the best part was that she wanted to be massaged every day.
"Hubby, I heard that all the construction firms will advise their employees to stay within the vicinity of the apartments during these three days we have our wedding."
"Hmm… They volunteered not to bother the security team, and it will be tough for everyone as the entire city is under tight security."
"It is necessary as our guests are not just ordinary wealthy families."
"They understand, yes," said Vincent. After he massaged Hailee's shoulders down to her lower back, he wrapped her body with his arms and planted a kiss on her hair. "I love you."
Hailee glanced over her shoulder and met Vincent's tender gaze. It looks like Tim didn't tell his boss that she had gone to the office earlier.
She was happy about that, but she didn't want to hide anything from Vincent. And so, even if she told her assistant and secretary not to say anything, it doesn't mean she will keep it from Vincent. Instead, she wanted to tell him by herself.
"Hubby, I went to the office earlier."
"Oh."
It surprises him, as Tim mentioned nothing to him. Now he is worried if Hailee heard his conversation with Bryan and Geoffrey, but she misunderstood something. Although the talk ended well, he should share it with Hailee, not worry.
Vincent searched for something on Hailee's face, but he didn't find any unusual expression from her, and so he carried on.
"Geoffrey and Bryan came to me to have a private talk over my morning break. They give us a cheque gift."
Vincent pulled out the cheque inside his suit pocket and showed it to Hailee.
"Your knights are too generous."
Hailee reaches for his lips instead of looking at the amount on the cheque. Vincent, on the other hand, was perplexed by Hailee's action.
"That was your reward as you handled it well." She explained to Vincent.
Hailee also told Vincent how grateful she was, that he cared for her friendship with Bryan and Geoffrey even after he learned of their true feelings toward her.
"I realized later that Bryan and Geoffrey actually didn't see me as their little sister. However, my heart never beats for them, and it only fluttered for you. So, please trust me, okay? You are the only man that I ever love. I would be honest that I love Bryan and Geoffrey, but it was just for a genuine friendship even if I almost marry Bryan."
Vincent reached for Hailee's face and caressed her cheek so gently.
"I trust you, and I believe in you. I never doubt your love or your loyalty. It's just that I couldn't stop not feeling jealous because they were with you for so many years, but me? We were just together for less than a year. How can I compare?"
"Does that matter?" Hailee asked Vincent.
Vincent shook his head and retorted lovingly, "That is why tying a knot with you means that we have forever to create a beautiful life together with our future children."
Hailee hugged Vincent so tight.
"Yes, hubby! It was what I wanted! I want to spend every day of my life with you. I want to grow old with you! And I even wanted to love you in my next life."
"Of course, I feel the same way too."
Vincent claimed Hailee's lips and kissed her until they were out of breath.
He said, "Thank you for coming into my life."
