HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 397 - Beautiful Memories



Chapter 397 - Beautiful Memories

Vincent gently strokes Hailee's belly as he speaks.

"Hello, boys. How are your little sisters? Take care of them."

Hailee shed tears upon watching Vincent talking to their children close to her belly. He also kisses the places where the kids are moving before he stands on his feet to claim her lips.

Vincent didn't stop kissing Hailee but deepened it.

It was the loud applause from the surrounding people that ended their kiss. They look around and smile at everyone.

The nearby people figured out that it was the babies' first movement inside their mommy's womb, the reason they heard the new mom gasp loudly.

Vincent's reaction was also a priceless sight before their eyes. The new dad immediately kneeled on one foot to feel his children's movement inside their mom's womb.

The expressions that they display on their faces are adorable.

The couple didn't know them all, but they were happy to witness such an event and share this moment of joy.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, princess!"

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Shen!"

Everyone couldn't help expressing their greetings. Hailee and Vincent thanked them, waving their hands. And before they resumed walking, they kissed one more time in front of everyone, which they cheered for.

"Let's go back to the yacht," said Hailee afterward. She added, "I'll text Pitt and James to stay and continue drinking."

"Aren't your feet in pain now? Let me carry you." They have been walking a little longer; now, Vincent knows Hailee is a little tired.

But Hailee shook her head.

"You don't have to! I'm heavy now, you know."

"Still, I want to carry you. I would love to piggyback you if it would not press your belly."

Hailee's eyes instantly glowed upon hearing Vincent say that... It took her back to the time when Vincent brought her to one of his out-of-town business trips.

It was a three-day work schedule, but Vincent finished his work on the second day, and by the evening, Vincent brought her to the famous tourist spot on the island.

The locals wanted the guests to feel the historical atmosphere of the area, so they prohibited any vehicles from entering the premises. So then, they walked from their hotel to the place.

Unfortunately, because she was overjoyed strolling around, she sprained her ankle when she missed a step, which caused her terrible fall from the stairs.

Vincent has only one choice, and that is to carry her on his back. Fortunately, there was a nearby clinic, and after that, Vincent still took her on his back and walked toward the hotel.

But honestly, they could already get a local public transport, but Vincent insisted on carrying her. So her only choice is holding tightly around his shoulder and burying her face into his neck to balance her weight.

That time, she was nervous as she wondered if Vincent noticed how wildly fluttered her chest.

"What's wrong?" Vincent asked Hailee when he noticed she was in a trance.

Hailee shook her head after she came back at present. She smiled at Vince and shared how she remembered their beautiful memories when she was pretending to be his mistress.

"I just remembered the time you brought me to Hal Island."

Instantly, the beautiful memories Vincent had cherished flashed through his mind. Hailee sprained her right ankle, and so he carried her on his back.

Indeed, it was a beautiful memory as he didn't bring Hailee on a date to display his affair to the public and give the paparazzi a good show, but because he was really in love with her and wanted to spend as much time as he could.

"It's a wonderful memory."

"Mr. Shen, you're such a tricky man." Hailee pouted, then glared at him as if she was annoyed by his pretenses, to which Vincent only chuckled in response.

Vincent indeed offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress, not knowing he just pretended she was not the love of his life.

"Humph. Now that I remembered your act, I wanted to punish you. Are you ready, Mr. Shen?"

It sounded sweet to Vincent's ears.

"It looks exciting." He whispered while his eyes glowered in anticipation. Whatever his wife came up with, he would be glad to submit and play along.

Hailee's threat thrilled his chest instead.

Pampering this girl is his happiness.

Vincent leaned over and kissed Hailee one more time before they resumed walking.

They were showing so much PDA on the streets of Hobart City. However, people don't mind at all. They are delighted to witness the newlywed's lovely moments displayed in front of them.

Strolling the streets of restaurants and cafes, the shop's owners approached Hailee and Vincent to give them freshly baked from their stores.

"Princess, this is freshly baked from our oven!"

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Jones!"

Hailee also receives varied delicacies that are famous in Tasmania, which were part of her childhood. Her parents often visited the island to visit her great grandparents, who owned one of the vastest vineyards in the state.

In one shop, Hailee stopped and dragged Vincent inside; it was the place where her parents always brought her for an afternoon snack.

Hailee sweeps her gaze to the entire room. The shop only changed little, which gave her a nostalgic feeling.

"Hello, Mrs. Gibb!" Hailee greeted the elderly behind the cash register with glee. The old lady instantly brightened her face upon recognizing her.

"Oh, Princess Hailee! It is really you! I hear you were on the island for your honeymoon. Thank you for visiting me."

The old lady's eyes started shedding tears. Seeing Hailee made her remember that little girl who always had a bright smile when she stepped inside her shop and greeted her cheerily.

"Of course I will, Mrs. Gibb." Hailee sweetly smiled at the older lady.

Mrs. Gibb hurriedly got up from her stool and went to hug Hailee warmly. "Oh, I almost forgot that you are pregnant now."

"It's alright, Mrs. Gibb. By the way, this is my husband, Vincent Shen." Hailee introduced Vincent and Mrs. Gibb to each other.

Mrs. Gibb exclaimed, "Ah, the blessed man!"

Vincent smiled at the old lady as he politely nodded and concurred, "I am truly blessed, ma'am."

When Vincent said that, he looked at Hailee with eyes filled with love. The old lady smiled and said,

"It reminds me of your mother. She also came and introduced me to your dad."

"Then, I will tell my daughters to introduce their husbands to you as a family tradition," Hailee replied. She didn't look at Vincent, and so she missed that flash of protest in his eyes.

Vincent always felt uncomfortable when it was mentioned the marriage of his girls.

He valued family traditions, but what he doesn't want to think and talk about at present is the distant future when his daughters are married.

What he only thought once they were born was how he could pamper and dote them. Also, he would not allow them to get a boyfriend at a young age, not until they haven't finished college yet.

Of course, there are rules they have to follow.

Ah, wait… That's not it!

He acts like his mom, who would like to imprison him inside their mansion but take extra lessons from his tutors and perfectly learn self-defense that masters in martial arts teach.

Now, he has complete control of his life with Hailee. Together, they will build their own family and raise their children with all the best they can do.

"Wait a minute, princess. Let me give you a box of freshly baked doughnuts."

Vincent heard the old lady tell Hailee.

"Ah, my fave! Thank you, Mrs. Gibb!"

"You're very welcome, dear."

"I've really missed the place."

Hailee told Vincent while they were standing in front of the shelves filled with different loaves of bread, cakes, tarts, and all sorts of pastries.

"You have wonderful memories with your mom in this shop, right?"

He only guessed, but the emotion that wrote on Hailee's face told him out loud.

"Thank you for sharing this wonderful feeling," Vincent added. "I could imagine our children would leave a mess at the place."

Hailee giggled, but she stopped when she felt a kick once again.

"I think the kids protested with your statement, daddy," she told Vincent coquettishly.

"Alright. Daddy is wrong." Vincent bent down and kissed Hailee's bump. "Daddy will reward you guys as long as you stay behaved."

"Oh!" Hailee gasps.

"Are they still kicking?" asked Vincent.

Hailee nodded. Vincent placed his palm, and he indeed felt the babies' movement beneath his hand.

"Did the babies kick?" asked Mrs. Gibb, who now came back with two large boxes in her hands.

"Yes, Mrs. Gibb," answered Hailee.

"That's wonderful! I wished them to grow up healthy and happy."

"Aw, thank you for blessing them, Mrs. Gibb."

"I am delighted to see you happy," she told Hailee. Then Mrs. Gibb moved her gaze at Vincent and handed the boxes. "Here, it's for the babies!"

Vincent took the boxes and thanked the old lady. "Thank you, ma'am."

Hailee bid goodbye to Mrs. Gibb when Pitt and James arrived in a car.

"Good night, children!"

"Good night, Mrs. Gibb!" James waves at the old lady.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Gibb." Pitt also bid farewell.

They were often hanging out at the bakeshop when the princess had her stop from sailing the Oceanic Continent.

"You guys should continue spending the night on the island."

"Princess?" Pitt instantly protested.

"I saw the local coast guards were on high alert tonight to watch me. So, you guys take this opportunity to enjoy the night."

Pitt and James shared a look and then grinned.
