Chapter 288 - Colour His Life
As the board meeting was ongoing at Davies Group HQ, at Hailee's apartment, Gigi fixed a vegetable salad after she craved something sour.
Gigi came up with cucumber salad she mixed with lettuce and seaweeds, then put a lot of apple cider which Hailee would dip the cucumber and lettuce into the mayo.
Since she didn't like tomatoes this time around, Kelly and Gigi made a separate bowl for them, then stayed a few meters away from her.
The two girls ate at the dining table while she remained in the living room.
Later, Sheena and Deana came over to join them. Janise goes back to Metro City first as she needs to start to make Hailee's wedding dress. These passing days, they made many video calls to discuss the details of her wedding gown. Like this morning, they had a long chat with her, who already misses hanging out with Kelly and Gigi.
Kelly promised to fly to Metro City next week. She wanted to visit the branch store, then help Janise work on Hailee's wedding gown. Kelly had ideas of adding real gemstones to the dress.
"Have you guys found a perfect date for the wedding?" Kelly asked Hailee after the video call with Janise. At the moment, they were enjoying their cup of honey and lemon tea.
Hailee replied, "I can't decide yet. Vince and I will discuss it after he comes back from meeting the Elders."
Honestly, she was too anxious to tell the world the good news.
However, she couldn't calm down but had a bad feeling when she would think about meeting the elders. Now that they demanded their presence, she has to plan out everything.
Somehow in the past, Shun had warned her before that not everyone in the alliance would remain loyal for long; that is why he needs more trusted Lords in the Mafia Alliance to support him.
Hailee wanted to help Shun to strengthen his throne. However, she has had no interest in the underground world since the very beginning.
She was already distancing herself from aristocrats on the surface and the tycoons' circle, which she knew she could not hide from forever. For now, she would do all her might to maintain the status of Davies to the surface world.
There is no other heir but solely her. By now, she wanted to worry less about anything but soon to focus her life together with Vincent and their future children.
Yes. She planned to conceive a dozen children to continue the Legacy, at the same time to strengthen Davies' status both into the surface and the underground world.
The more children she bore, the more heir and heiress to protect Davies and Shen's royal bloodline.
The more she thinks about her life after marriage, the more she's determined to enjoy her life around her family because as a family who stood on the top, the more the possibility of the people to bring them down.
She badly dreams of living only an ordinary life. However, she accepted now that it would be impossible for her and Vincent to achieve such a life.
The only choice she has now is to show the strength she possesses. To gain unfathomable power is to gather as many trusted knights on her side, which she finally achieves.
What is needed for her to do next is act as a real leader, which she hinders from carrying out in these passing years.
She is aware her dad faces a lot of battles to keep her safe and alive. Now that she will become a mother, it was her turn to protect her family.
After a long thought, Hailee snaps herself and comes back to her senses. She then resumed her speech.
"Maybe after the Elders accept Vincent as my husband. I would not delay announcing my pregnancy to my Instagram Official account. Also, it will be a perfect opportunity to reveal the wedding date."
"Oh! You're going to introduce my brother?" Sheena was ecstatic after hearing Hailee's plan. When Hailee nodded at her query, she felt elated.
So then, it's not bad that the world would know that he will become the husband of Hailee Davies, a self-made billionaire. Hailee didn't rely on her dad's money, but she earned her own wealth. Of course, she was delighted that her brother found the woman he dreams of being with forever.
The Shen family is not as wealthy as the Davies family, but her brother is also a self-made millionaire. Aside from his success in managing Shen Group. He had his line of business, which earns well. He could give Hailee a good life even if she were from an average wealthy family.
But no one imagined that the famous Mistress in Metro City is a super-rich girl! Her brother thinks she is only from a middle-class family. That is why he ensures to protect her from malice and judgment.
People could not stop naming her with this title because her brother was forced into marriage. Even if he and Eva never become real husband and wife, still their marriage is legal.
But now, she was happy that her brother finally got his deserved freedom.
Soon, everyone will know that the famous mistress is not just simply a business partner of DV Gem Inc., but she is actually the owner of these billion-dollar companies, and she is also the founder of Dream City. The most awaited modern city in the world.
They already predicted that it would be the safest city to live in. As of now, Melbourne holds the title of entire Australia.
But Hailee aimed to have a perfect city to live in for celebrities and super-rich people in the world.
It felt so amazing that her brother, Vincent, could contribute to building this city. He is going to make the tallest tower in the world!
Sure is... They were making history!
Being a Shen to achieve such recognition, their family accomplished another success that even though many hundred years had passed, the world would remember the Shen family.
She couldn't stop admiring and being proud of her brother. Above all, her brother deserves to be happy despite his achievements and soon fame.
She believes that the unparalleled rewards her brothers deserve to earn are pure love and genuine happiness.
With the overwhelming warmth surrounding her heart, Sheena suddenly hugs Hailee, which surprised her a little.
"Hail, thank you for coming into my brother's life. He was such a great man. He deserves this… He deserves you…." Sheena mumbled in a trembling voice as emotion engulfed her.
"When no one I could hold on a family to call on, Vincent is always there for me and my daughter Lena. He gave up many things, even his happiness, for the sake of our family. But now, finally, his life had colors. And it was you who painted those colors in his life... I know, same as you... You didn't care about my brother's wealth, but to have someone who can make you feel the inexplicable happiness lingering in your heart."
Sheena's eyes were drenched with tears after. Those other girls couldn't hold it as well. Their eyes welled up and sobs. They all could relate to that feeling of finding someone who completes you.
Gigi knew that feeling very well. After her life in hell with Galvin, she thought many times to end her life. And after she got free from him, she never dares to love again.
Many courted her, but she swore she would rather grow old alone instead of suffering again like what she had been through in a forced marriage with Galvin.
However, she never imagines nor dares to dream of finding love for a second time around.
But Tom is willing to love her unconditionally. He made her feel that wonderful feeling of being genuinely loved by a man. He showed her that pure love is real.
The same as Sheena and Deana, they also found their true love. And as for Kelly, she may not have seen that guy yet, but she is hopeful and believes that someone is meant for her who will dedicate his life only to her.
As tears blurred their eyes, the front door opened, and the men who entered the room were surprised why they were crying while having a group hug.
"Women truly are too emotional… They sure are Drama Queens!" Pitt commented that both Vincent and Tom elbowed his stomach. He was pitiful, reaching out the wall to hold on to it while he rubbed his tummy to ease from pain.
He could only cry inwardly, comforting himself from the brutality he received from Tom and Vincent.
'What is the problem with these men!?' he grumbled inwardly as he was afraid to let out his thoughts; he might receive another blow.
Pitt glared at Tim, who was snickering at the door. He was annoyed because he believes he did nothing wrong!
