His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 389 - No Dream Can Compare

Chapter 389 - No Dream Can Compare

Vince helped Hailee place a piece of cake on the dessert plates. Hailee picked up a fork and scooped a fraction of the cake. Then she put it in Vince's mouth. Vincent does the same, and it is supposed to be just one time, but since Hailee is starving again, Vincent feeds Hailee four times more.

"Ah! The baby wants their share!" Jessa jested that made everyone laugh.

One last time, Hailee and Vincent greeted their other guests. They strolled around and made a quick chat with them.

"Hello, aunt Sol!"

"Hailee… Vincent… Congratulations." the older lady smiled warmly. Sol's eyes could not avert from Hailee's wedding dress as she spoke. "You look so lovely."

"Thank you, aunt Sol. I am so happy that you came too."

"Hilda said, Vincent is building the tallest tower, and so I wanted to visit your city. Tyler had mentioned to me it was his biggest project to work soon. He was so happy that he could provide more jobs to the island. Recently, he hired more people to work in the production department. Thanks to you, everyone is happy."

Hailee was moved the way Sol narrated about it. "I am happy to work with them, too. I will visit them one day, once I give birth, then Vincent and I have a few days' vacations to visit the island."

"That was wonderful! I'll absolutely look forward to it!"

Hailee smiled and gave the older woman a tight hug before she and Vincent moved to the other relatives.

"Attention, please… May I call on our bride and all the single ladies to please come forward in the middle of the dance floor."

To proceed to the next program of the celebration, Jessa announced its time to throw the bouquet.

Several single ladies are taking part, and the men tease each other.

Some of the single ladies are Vera, Fraine, Jennifer, Tiffany, Nancy, and Kelly, who will get married soon and still join the fun of catching the bouquet.

"Damn! Are you ready, boys?" Tom and Alex shouted from the back.

Hailee glanced behind her and swept her gaze to see all the faces of these single ladies. She smiled gleefully and positioned. "Ready, girls?"

She faced the stage and playfully raised her hands, attempting to throw the bouquet. Then everyone joined Hailee and started counting…

"3… 2…..1!"

The bouquet flew, many of the girls ran, and only half of them tried to catch the bouquet. A few of them who avoided the bouquet: were Hazel, Nadia, and Liza.

The three girls would stick to their original plans of not entering a relationship but focusing on finishing college until they got a master's degree.

They would not waste the opportunity Hailee is giving them. The teenage girls are more looking forward to going to Paris and being trained under famous French and Italian chefs of the world.

Meanwhile, Jennifer bites her bottom lip. She just participated half-heartedly; however, it is easy for her to catch the bouquet with her training that developed her reflexes.

"Oh, my god! Congratulations, Jennifer." Jessa made more noise, which encouraged others to clap their hands.

Jennifer shook her head and giggled. She was about to glance at Andre, but Hailee rushed to her and hugged her tight.

"Congratulations! Please, say yes, Jennifer!" Hailee said to her.

Jennifer wrinkled her forehead, confused by why Hailee said something like that. Besides, the crowd suddenly went wilder than before.

"Turn around!" Hailee whispered to Jennifer.

Suddenly, her heart was beating wildly. Jennifer slowly turned around instantly; she covered her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Jennifer tries to remain composed. But her tears made their way down to her cheeks.

Andre is kneeling on one foot and holding a jewelry box in his hands, asking,

"Jennifer Wright… Will you marry me?"

Jennifer stifles. She bit her lip, then nodded. "Yes!"

For Jeniffer's response, everyone applauded, flooding the newly engaged couple with congratulations. Andre stood on his feet and put the engagement ring on Jennifer's fourth finger.

The couple kissed and hugged tightly.

"Congratulations, Andre! Jennifer, welcome to the fam!" It made Hailee elated that, at last, Andre planned to settle down.

In the past, her uncle rarely dated someone. She even didn't know if Andre had a girlfriend because he never shared it with her if he ever liked someone.

"Thank you, princess."

"Thank you, Hailee." Jennifer was still in a daze. Until now, she could not believe that everything was real. Andre was just her crush back then. She may be snobbish to him, but because she is not an easy girl. So she has to play hard to get.

Andre and Jennifer were greeted and took a photo of them being engaged.

Hailee also had several photos with all the single ladies and Jennifer raising the bouquet above their heads. After that, it was time for the newlyweds to bid goodbye.

"Hailee, wear this coat." Hilda draped a white fur coat around her daughter-in-law's shoulder.

The information of the honeymoon trip was only known to a few people, so Hilda made sure that Hailee's nannies brought all the dresses and winter clothes she needed while staying in Tasmania.

"Thank you, mom." Hailee was touched by how her mom-in-law even took care of her luggage. Her nannies told her how they were reminded of Vincent's mom repeatedly. Hailee giggled when she heard how her nannies copied her mom-in-law.

True that her mom-in-law is a kind of domineering. She is the head of the Lopez Clan, and so, she was used to acting mightily to anyone, even if her family.

"Tell me if Vincent gives you a headache. He will receive a nag from me."

Hailee giggled and hugged her mom-in-law like a spoiled child. It's been so long since she behaved coquettishly toward the older female in the family.

Hilda, on the other hand, dotingly embraces Hailee in return. Vincent didn't see this, but his sisters filmed it and sent the clips to their big brother.

Meanwhile, Vincent was talking to his dad-in-law, granddad-in-law, and Andre.

"Take care of my daughter and my grandkids," said Jacob to Vincent.

"Yes, dad. Don't worry. I will try my best not to spoil my wife with unhealthy habits." Vincent promised as it was what his dad-in-law was concerned about.

It's hard for him to say no to everything that Hailee wanted. And as she is pregnant now… she craves a lot of unhealthy delicacies.

Jacob nodded and then patted Vincent's shoulder. He said, "My daughter is actually listening to you. And so, I entrusted my daughter to you completely."

"Thank you, dad." Vincent smiled and nodded. After he spoke to his in-laws, he turned to his parents and sisters.

"Enjoy your trip, guys!"

"Thank you, everyone!" Both Vincent and Hailee waved at them.

But before they boarded the three helicopters waiting for them, the newlywed posed for another photo. In the background is a tarp placed on the aircraft saying,

"JUST GOT MARRIED"

And then, beautiful fireworks exploded above Dream City Palace. Hailee and Vincent lifted their heads to watch the fireworks continue flaring above them.

"How beautiful!" Everyone gasps in astonishment.

On the other side, the media camping outside were startled when they heard something that exploded. Soon, they saw the beautiful fireworks display.

Halfway through it, Hailee and Vincent board the helicopter that James piloted.

Pitt is with them as he is the captain of Hailee's yacht. Also, Shun sent Matthew to accompany them, assuring the newlywed's safety.

The other two helicopters are where Hailee's other knights boarded, including her dietician, nutritionist, resident OB, and two nannies.

Yup! She is going on her honeymoon, but she has a bunch of chaperones!

Anyway, she understood why her family was still tight on her. From here on, she's not the only one they have to protect, but it includes her husband and her four babies.

Hailee and Vincent wave at their families, relatives, and friends who sent them off. As she looked down, she could not hold back her tears. But she cried because she was too happy and thankful for how beautiful her life was to have a huge family.

Before they left Dream City, Hailee instructed James to bring the helicopters to all the gates where the media have been on standby these past few days.

She actually sent them food every day, the reason these reporters are behaving outside. Hailee's PR team is releasing daily updates about the wedding preparations and activities that made them delighted.

Even though they are not allowed inside the city, the princesses are too generous of them. Like at that moment. The helicopter where the newlyweds boarded is passing them.

"It's them! It's Miss Davies and Vincent Shen!"

Everyone aimed their cameras at the passing helicopters.

"Oh, my god! This is very live from Dream City's north gate! The newlywed had just passed us! What a surprise that the princess is generous for us to see them this close!"

"Did you see that? The newlywed couple is waving at us!" One journalist doing a live report, pointing at the helicopter, passing them slowly.

Indeed, Hailee visited all the access gates to enter Dream City, where the media's camping outside.

She actually didn't ignore them, and she just prioritized the safety and privacy of her guests at the wedding.

***

Somewhere on the Southern Australia coast…

Two helicopters landed at the yacht where Hailee used to board every time she was sailing, while the other landed on the twin yacht.

"Welcome, princess!"

Hailee's knights and specially selected crew greeted them on the deck. She nodded and thanked them.

"Alright. Everyone, go to your post!" Pitt commanded.

In a flash, the deck was emptied. Pitt took off his coat and loosened his tie. In the ocean, his orders are the rules.

"Good night, princess." Pitt saluted them and walked toward the ladder, and went to the bridge of this yacht.

Now, only Hailee and Vincent are left on the deck. They watch the helipad slowly descend to the hangar after James secures the line of the helicopter. He salutes and disappears along with the helicopter.

Vincent heaves a sigh, appreciating how grand his wife's mega yacht is. It could actually keep two helicopters, a small boat, and several cars in its hangars.

"It was always my dream to build a mega-yacht like yours. But I prefer a humble beginning before I proceed to my big dreams."

Hailee shrunk her body inside Vincent's arms, which embraced her from behind. He replied, "Then, maybe it's time for you to work on that dream?"

"Nah. Honestly, I already achieved my biggest dream."

"Really?"

"Yes…"

Hailee turned around and looked at him. It displays that she is curious for him to elaborate on his words.

"Having you as my wife and making you the mother of my children… no dream can compare."
