HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 269 - Her Dads Blessing



Chapter 269 - Her Dad's Blessing

Walking down the hallway, they couldn't take their eyes off of Vincent. They still can't accept that the princess is so obsessed with him that the moment she wakes up, he's the one she's looking for.

Looking back just a month ago, the princess has been protecting him already. She kept it from them, but she already gave him so many privileges.

And now he had the chairman's blessing. Even though they question how faithful he is toward the princess, they can't show resentment when the princess seems serious about him. All they could do was keep quiet since the princess's condition had to be considered.

When they arrived at Hailee's ward, they saw her sitting on the bed. Her face instantly brightened upon seeing them coming in. When she had a glimpse of Vincent's face, she had that big smile on her lips.

"Hubby…" she called out to him.

They have to give way for him and watch. Vincent sat on the bed, warily scanning her face and arms, but Hailee quickly threw her arms around his neck and cried on his shoulder.

"I missed you." She mumbled between her sobs.

Vince chuckled, encircling his arms carefully around her body. He's afraid that she's in pain everywhere, and he might break her if he tightens his embrace.

"I missed you too, Wifey." He replied, kissing Hailee's hair.

This girl is behaving adorably again. They actually did not separate that long. She only lost consciousness, but he was here by her side most of the time.

"That's enough now. You need not stress yourself." He coaxed her, caressing her back to calm her down. He asked afterward, "How are you feeling? I was worried sick."

"I feel tired, but I want to see you. Hector told me I lost so much blood, so I was transfused with two bags. I'm glad our baby is safe."

"Yes. They are fighters. And you too! So, you can stop crying now, okay?" Vincent continued comforting her, using his sweetest and calm voice.

When he said that, her eyes twinkled with excitement. "Is it true that possibly we have twins?"

Vincent parted their body to see her face. He is gently brushing her right cheek, drying her eyes with his thumb. He replied, "Yes. And so, follow what the doctor has to tell you, especially with the food you have to eat."

"Okay." She smiled at Vince.

"It should be only healthy foods. You can still eat what you like too, but there should be a limit and little sweets this time, okay?" He added.

"Hummed!" she nodded delightedly. It makes her happy that she could still eat cakes; although she has to limit sugar and salt consumption, she can have them once in a while.

"Good girl." Vincent smiled. He placed a warm kiss on her forehead as he whispered, "I love you."

"I love you, too." Hailee lifted her chin to reach for Vince's lips, then brushed hers on top of his.

The knights, including Jacob, contracted their pupils while watching this scene. Of course, this is the first time that Hailee was very intimate with another man!

She was sweet to all the boys, but she's not this daring. But for her to behave and be obedient like that, they knew what it meant...

She completely trusted this man.

It causes their hearts to break, but they could see the glimmer in her eyes the way she was staring at Vincent. It's the first time they saw her having that kind of expression. Her cheeks were blushing, and she smiled sweetly.

It shows she's genuinely in love.

Bryan lowered his gaze to the floor and paused back, the tears threatening to escape his eyes. Meanwhile, watching this scene is not his first time. Still, it breaks his heart. He keeps telling himself to stop and give up. But he knew it was impossible to be too soon.

After the kiss, Hailee's eyes fell at Vincent's hands. Her eyes widened, and shock struck her, seeing the bandages on his fingers.

"What happened to your hands? Did you injure your fingers?" Panic began exhibiting on her face; Vincent had to calm her down quickly.

"They're just minor scratches." He tried to sound cheerful, but the way Hailee looked at him, she didn't believe his excuse.

"Scratches?" Instead, she freaked out.

The men in that room shared glances. They see how Hailee gloom upon seeing Vincent's wounded hands.

"There's nothing to worry about, okay?" said Vince, coaxing her. He didn't want to stress herself, thinking it was her fault, so he didn't mention he wounded his fingers to save her after she fell to the vases.

But Hailee isn't convinced. It can be seen how troubled she was to see his injuries. She took his hands and asked, "Are they painful?"

"Not much. But I have to take care of them, so they don't get infected. I'll be careful next time."

"You should be!" She mouthed.

"I'm more worried about you." He muttered. It pained him to see her arms covered with bandages.

"I am fine. They were just my skin compared to you. You needed these hands to keep your promise to me." She told him that almost choked Vincent.

Her statement moved him, bringing warmth to his chest. Vincent lowered his head, touching her forehead. "Silly girl, have you forgotten we are not alone?"

"Oh…" she blushed, then giggled. "I forgot." She whispered while her voice still reached the boy's ears, which were too alert to listen to their conversation.

"Everyone is too worried about you, particularly your dad." Honestly, he has to bring it up, or the rest of the men would keep throwing daggers at him. He would have no head by now if only their eyes could kill.

Now that Vince had mentioned this, Hailee turned her head to the door where her knights were, waiting patiently for her to notice them. She smiled at them, traveling her gaze to each of them before she fixed her eyes on her dad.

"Dad..." Hailee raised her left hand, waiting for her dad to come over. Vincent gets off the bed, giving way for Jacob to hug and talk to his daughter.

"Oh, princess. I'm happy that you are awake now. I'm so worried about you." Jacob fought the tears that formed in his eyes. He didn't hide the pain he felt seeing his daughter in such a situation.

"I'm sorry, dad. I have been lying to you. I should have told you the truth sooner…."

"Hush, now. Don't worry. Dad is not angry at you. I forgive you already." Jacob raises his hand and carefully combs Hailee's head. She got a minor injury at the back of her head after she fell on the floor.

"Dad... Don't get mad at Vincent. I think you already know that he is married. And his wife is Bryan's girlfriend. Dad, I knew everything, but I still fell in love with him... I…"

"Shush... That's enough. It's okay now. Like I have said already, I'm not angry anymore."

"Dad…" Hailee let her eyes welled up. She rested her head on her dad's shoulder as she continued crying. "Thank you, dad."

"I love you, princess. Dad is not trying to interfere with your happiness. But I think dad should have apologized too."

Hailee released from her dad's embrace to look him in the eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"I know he was looking for you three years ago, Princess."

"Oh, then?" She and Vincent had the conclusion that Shun possibly did something so that he could not find her. And they've guessed right.

"Shun informed me about it. And I gave the order not to let Vincent Shen find you. I have to hide you. Dad has his reasons, and you know what it was… So, can you forgive, dad?"

"Dad…" Hailee remained silent for a long moment, pondering about something. Later on, a sweet smile played on her lips.

"Does it mean you'll accept Vincent to be your son-in-law, dad? You'll give your blessing for us to get married soon?"

Jacob dropped his mouth open. Suddenly, he felt like he was under pressure to make an important life decision. He could see that his daughter was getting good at negotiating, which he had no other choice but to agree!

Meanwhile, the rest of the men remain silent in the next few minutes. Each of them gets a grip on themselves not to fret. They disagreed that there will be a wedding too soon.

It feels like Bryan and Hailee suddenly announced they were engaged and began planning to get married.

Now, the princess is planning to get married, and this time, it was to someone they barely knew!

They are against it. However, with the princess' condition at the moment, they cannot raise a protest nor scold her for making such decisions. She and Vincent had just been in a relationship for a few months. Even though they are expecting now, they believe it is still too early to get married soon!

Jacob lifted his head and looked at the men. Like him, he could see that they object to this, but no one wants to cause his daughter's sadness like him.

Heaving a long sigh inwardly, Jacob turned to his daughter and kissed her forehead.

"Whatever makes you happy, princess."

Hailee threw her arms around her dad's neck.

"Thank you, dad!"
