His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 417 - I Gave You The Right

After Pitt shared what happened last night that he didn't know Hailee overheard him, Vince cursed inwardly.

So, indirectly, he was also the reason Hailee bleeds after she was exasperated and gone distressed. In this situation, it also saddened him that Hailee kept this a secret from him, which they promised to be honest with each other, but she chose to keep it herself.

"Mr. Shen, either the princess feels worse or feels better. Please, take her to the hospital for an ultrasound. I'll be there on duty all night. I have to go now and bring the princess's blood sample to the lab."

"Alright. Thank you, Doctor Dave."

Doctor Dave nodded and left.

Vincent heaves a long sigh. He leaned on the wall and muttered in a weak voice. "She has been worrying about me that everyone in the company is putting pressure on me. Hailee didn't realize that she was also putting pressure on herself thinking of me."

"The princess loves you so much. When it comes to you, she lost her calm and modesty. She learned how to talk shit and threaten someone," Pitt remarked.

"If to compares her attitude in the past and at present. We almost believe the princess actually has a split personality she is just showing to us recently." James chimed in, in addition to Pitt's statement.

Vincent frowned when he heard this. He thought Hailee had been a tactless woman as she fearlessly fought whoever lashed at her back the time she was pretending as his mistress.

But Hailee has class. She is sophisticated, a temperament he loved with a woman. And one thing is, she is a snob toward other men, except for her knights and a few familiar friends.

Vincent returned inside the suite and told the nannies to eat some breakfast. He went to the bedroom and joined Hailee on the bed, slowly lying behind her.

He buried his face in Hailee's neck while his left hand rubbed her lower back and pressed the part on her hip. Vincent heard Hailee sigh.

"Wifey… Please, stop worrying about me. It kills me inside to see you suffering like this after you were stressed because of me." said Vincent tenderly, placing a kiss on her hair.

"You knew already?" she asked with a hoarse voice.

Vincent's heart ached, listening to Hailee's weak voice. She is just twenty-two weeks pregnant. How about if it was near her due?

"I asked Pitt and James to tell me if something had happened last night. I know they were loyal to you. But, Wifey…"

"I'm sorry…."

"No. You have nothing to apologize to me for."

"I should have told you last night," said Hailee with sincerity.

"I was to blame as well. I didn't share it first with you. That's why I hate myself now. I am responsible for your suffering as well."

"Yes, you are. My belly won't grow a lump if I just do it alone."

There was a brief silence that had passed. Hailee and Vincent both giggled afterward. Hailee slowly turns around to face Vincent. She then threw her arm around his waist and buried her face in his chest.

"I love you so much," she muttered.

"I know, and I love you so much too… " Vincent kisses her forehead. " You haven't eaten yet. Come, I will feed you."

Hailee nodded. Vincent helped her get up and lean on the headboard. He brought the food tray table on the bed and fed her.

"You need to eat too." Hailee urges Vincent.

After the meal, Hailee pursues Vincent to go to the company. But Vincent would not leave her until he ensured she was not at risk, such as miscarriage.

"Wifey, even if I will go to the office. I could not focus on work if my mind were only thinking about you. Besides, I would only be restless."? Vincent did his best to comfort Hailee.

It's a good thing Jacob arrived to check on his daughter's condition before he headed to the office. After Hilda told him, he rushed to the city as soon as he could arrive.

"Princess, your mom-in-law was visiting Chinatown to get some fresh herbs to make a tonic for you."

"Okay, dad. Mom is so nice."

"Yes, she is. And so, relax, okay? Vincent will stay to accompany you. Stop worrying about our firm. I am here until you are ready to go back to work and my grandchildren are old enough."

Hailee nodded, then smiled at her dad. She guessed that Doctor Dave had reported what he had already advised her. "Thank you, dad."

"Princess, trust your husband, okay? I know Vincent would let no one intimidate him, and he would fight back instead. He would let anyone just bully him."

"But dad… He is my husband. Everyone should show respect to him as much as they respect me. If they can not accept that Vincent is their boss, then they can resign."

Jacob is actually happy to see his daughter willing to fight. But her current condition will only bring danger to her pregnancy if she stresses herself so much.

"Okay. I understand. But remember this princess. If Vincent does not win everyone's trust to lead the company in a brighter direction, it will always create a dispute. The bosses should help each other grow our family, not break it apart."

Hailee smiled. She knows how many hours her dad burns to work hard to build this family. Hailee hugged her dad and said coquettishly,

"Dad, I'm sorry if sometimes I still act like a brat. I am a mother now..."

"So what? I gave you the right! You are Jacob Davies' daughter! It seemed like I had been slacking these passing years... I have been indulging everyone lately! Do they think they can do whatever pleases them? They are wrong!"

Jacob points out the people who wanted to sneak around on his watch. 'I will put them to the place that suits them!' He added to his head.

Hailee giggled and ignored the other meaning of her dad's words. Instead, what she wanted to believe was her dad tried to pamper her again, as usual.

Ever since she started running her own companies and building her empire, she has been too busy and has less time for her dad. Most of the time, they only had phone calls and video calls unless they had important board meetings regarding Dream City.

Yet, she would fly back to Dubai or visit her store branches and cosmetics companies in Korea and France.

"Thanks, dad."

Jacob patted his daughter's back as he nodded. His daughter is not the typical spoiled brat other people call her. His daughter actually did more charities than those old geezers who don't believe in his daughter's capability in running the corporation.

Those men didn't see how his daughter stood and was ready to fight against the most influential leaders in the world…

The Elders from the High Royal Family and Mafia Association. His daughter is just too timid to use her power to shake the world of what she could do once provoked.

So then allowed his daughter to act like a spoiled princess because she is not the typical rich brat like those old geezers' families.

"Princess, know that dad is too proud of you."

Tears threaten to flood Hailee's eyes. Her dad's phrase warmed her heart so much. It was the praise she wanted to hear rather than receiving a billion euros from him.

She could earn that herself, so money is not most important to her.

"I'm happy to hear that, dad."
