Chapter 280 - Belongs To Her
Vincent wanted to give Hailee a grand wedding. Her son merrily told her, and she has no objection. When they forced him to marry Eva, he didn't want to announce it to the world, so they just did it in a simple wedding ceremony and a simple dinner gathering afterward.
There are no other guests but Carl, Jake, Tim, and the newlywed's parents. Vincent didn't care to make it fancy and grand; he was entirely not interested in going through details.
But now, according to Carl and Rodney, Vincent is saving up his money for a grand wedding he could give to Hailee. It was something that he thought on his own. How obvious he only looks forward to marrying the woman he wants to grow old with—for investing his strength in the wedding preparation.
In the past few days, the Shen family stayed in Dream City. Along with Gigi and Kelly, the girls accompanied Hailee every day to discuss the details of the wedding.
Since they have to avoid tiring her and stressing herself from deciding and picking out everything for the wedding, Hilda and the five girls would meet the wedding planners they've invited to present their ideas before they showed it to Hailee. They will choose the best among the better.
Hailee wished to join them, but she cared more about the life growing inside her. And so, she endures the boredom she felt in her stay at the hospital. Gladly, Vincent had a valid reason to slack off of his work for several days while waiting for his fingers to be fully healed.
He tried his best to entertain her and what happens instead; they took every opportunity to make out.
Since his dad was there, he has nothing to care much about. Fred led the engineers and architects on the site, preparing the area for the Groundbreaking Ceremony next week.
It was a perfect time that his family was here. It was also their opportunity to announce their relationship to the world. Certainly, it will be the biggest news of the year.
Also, the scene of Jacob and Fred driving around the city to visit other sites has become routine.
And so, rumors started rising among the other contractors.
Several workers often saw Vincent coming in and out of the hospital. They could see that he only had injured his fingers that looked almost healed, but they hadn't seen him around the restaurant at lunch.
When there is gossip, typically, the wives spread them fast. And as they signed an agreement that they wouldn't bring any news outside the time they live with their husbands in the city, they could only gossip among themselves and make sure not to let the entire world know.
News circulating that Vincent Shen is accompanying a beautiful woman to an Obstetrician clinic. And this woman, they have never seen her before. But one wife, whose husband is the representative of their construction firm, recognized Hailee.
"She's the CEO! The owner of this city!"
They quickly shared the gossip with their husbands, and typically, the husbands would feel tension toward him. His company is the newest team to join them. Then now, they would learn that he was the CEO's lover and possibly expecting a child.
To those who didn't know their story, their imagination went wild with every possibility as they recalled how warm and grand the welcome party was for the Shen Group.
Not only that, the Shen Group is alone in handling the entire East District. It means that was a hell of a project!
East District is the heart of the city. Everyone desired to get the projects in East District. But the CEO was too picky. She would only approve of their proposal if they agreed to assign it to another site.
Now, the reason is obvious to them. That was reserved for the SHEN GROUP, where the CEO is the Davies—solely heiress' lover.
Would they feel biased or lucky to receive a project? Even a few companies were discarded for some vague reason, such as the LN Group that built Pearl Hotel.
Now they would hear that Shen Group was assigned to build the tallest tower in the world, which they can do that too!
Why didn't the CEO hold the bidding?
They would happily take part and show off their talents, too. But the CEO gave it to Vincent Shen just like that.
The CEOs, including the chairman from the other construction firms, felt the unfairness. And because of that, a few of them requested an appointment to talk to Jacob.
Jacob was enraged that such rumors spread out. It worries him it will reach his daughter, and she would go furious.
He immediately ordered Kris to suppress the gossip. And to ease up every construction firm they hired, Jacob held a meeting.
"I think my daughter and I have the full rights to pick out which construction firm we will offer a project! She was in a sensitive stage of her pregnancy at the moment... If you don't control your wife's mouth! I'll consider terminating your contracts!"
Every CEO and representative in that room fell silent. They could not afford to lose their projects!
After apologizing and ensuring that they will warn their workers, Jacob dismissed them.

At Dream City Hospital, in a private ward inside the bathroom. Hailee let out a satisfying sigh.
Tomorrow, she can finally go home. However, she was prohibited from going back to work right away, so she would bore herself at her apartment for a few more days.
Hailee bit her bottom lip when Vincent added another finger.
Vincent was relaxed, leaning on the bathtub wall while she was squatted on his thighs. His eyes fixed on Hailee's beautiful face. It displays the pleasure she was enjoying at the moment.
Being careful, holding his excitement not to speed up his thrusts in her inside, Vincent could feel her tightening her grip on his shoulders. Her nails are digging into his back. It was mean; she's near to her first orgasm. He reached out for her breast, kneading one after another, and then he leans over to do his work on her n**ples.
Hailee reaches her climax; shuddering her body, she rested her head on his shoulder. They both aren't satisfied, but Vincent is just being careful0.
Gratefully, the babies are holding tightly into their mommy's womb. Hailee almost had a miscarriage.
And so, her body still needs more rest. That's why Vince can only give to her is pleasuring her with his fingers.
Vincent carefully helped Hailee sit on the top of the bathtub. He then lifted her one leg and placed it on his shoulder before he lowered his head.
Hailee held tight in the bathtub, closing her eyes as waves of pleasure surging in her core.
Meanwhile, the door in the ward opens. The man looked around, but the room was empty. He wondered where Hailee was.
When he was about to place the folder on the bed, he heard pleasurable noises from the washroom. The man darkened his face, clenching his other palm into a fist on his side.
He changes his mind to put down the folder. He left the room, headed to the lounge not far away from Hailee's ward, then took a seat.
In his eyes was sadness exhibiting on them. He lowered his head for a moment, then furiously hurls an air from the deepest part of his lungs. He waited for five minutes before he pulled out his phone from the back pocket of his pants to send a text to Hailee.

Back in the ward, after fifteen minutes, Hailee and Vincent finished their steamy bath. He was helping Hailee to apply a body cream all over her body; he admires her every curve. He allows his eyes to feast on her smooth skin and wishes to find her team had spent creating skincare products for her wounds.
It's just a couple of days, but it is now showing promising results.
Vince planted light kisses on her smooth back while his hands kneaded both of her breasts. Hailey lovingly gazes at their reflections in the mirror. Watching Vince caressing her body like that arouses her once again.
She reached out her hand to hold on to his neck, then let out her soft moans after he pinched both of her n**ples.
"Hubby… might someone knock. I haven't dressed yet!" she reminded him.
"Okay…" Vince's simple answer, she swallowed his hoarse voice after he claimed her mouth.
After she got dressed, she checked her phone and found Bryan's text message. She read it, then lifted her head to meet Vince's curious eyes.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" he asked.
"It was Bryan… He wanted to speak with you. He was waiting in the lounge," she informed him.
"Okay." he nodded, then put on a shirt. He leaned over to kissed Hailee before he stepped out of the room.
Vincent stared at Bryan. The guy was standing near the floor-ceiling window, gazing out at the busy sites in the distance. From where the hospital was located, they could have a view of the half-finished buildings around the South-west and South districts.
Vincent halted two feet next to Bryan. The guy didn't spare a look at his left side when his presence was overwhelming already.
Vincent didn't spare a look at him, either. He could already sense that Bryan was somewhat annoyed.
He hasn't seen him after Hailee regains consciousness. It was Tim who reported to him that Bryan personally took care of Eva's imprisonment.
Eva was almost beaten up to death inside Sydney Correctional after the inmates heard who she offended.
Bryan was keenly watching her not to pity her but to make sure she stayed alive to suffer from her crimes. Soon, Eva will transfer to Metro City to face another trial, and so, she has no reason to stay in Sydney but will face a heavier punishment back in P Country.
"What do you want to discuss, Mr. Anderson?" asked Vincent after a long silence passed between them.
Instead of Bryan answering Vincent, he extended his arm and handed him a folder. Vincent lowered his gaze; the folder was very familiar to him.
He blinked twice before he took the folder and flipped over to see the documents. Vincent furrowed his brows. Eva had finally signed up.
A mountain thorn pulled out from his heart.
Finally… He can give his surname to Hailee, which belongs to hers, on the very first day he meets her...
