His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 270 - Dad, He's Too Handsome

Fate works on its own.

This is what Jacob has been thinking at the moment.

He prevented Vincent Shen from finding his daughter. But it turns out his daughter finds him. He once defies what destiny had designed, but...

After many years, the two of them are still united. It means what he did in the past only proved that it meant for his daughter to cross paths with Vincent, and the two of them are tied to each other no one can ever separate them.

His daughter still falls in love with Vincent Shen even though he is married at present.

He is not against the guy, the reason he hides his daughter from him. The world they were living in is not a perfect place. Many people would take advantage of his daughter's status, not to mention a man like Liam.

Gladly, that man was apprehended now, and according to the reports, Vincent took a big part in getting Liam to trap. That was a huge thorn pulled out from his heart. Liam is not a threat to his daughter anymore. He can relax a little from now on.

Jacob took his daughter's hand. He looked at her with full of love in his eyes and a warm smile on his lips.

He had no objection if his daughter fell in love with someone else, regarded as a stranger to them, as long as his daughter was happy. That was all that matters to him.

"I wished you all the happiness in life, princess."

"Thank you, dad."

Now that she's awake and out of danger, the men one by one to start a day of work, even though they have no sleep and rest.

She thanked each of them, hugged them, and made a quick talk. And the last person she anticipated talking to was Bryan, but she didn't see him anymore. He was here a while ago.

After everything that had happened, Bryan still occupies a small space inside her heart. It is not the same anymore, but her life once revolves around him. He was still the best friend and brother who did many things to make her happy in the past.

It's just that…. They have a not-so-good ending.

"Where's Bryan, dad?" she asked afterward. Everyone had left already.

"Ah. Kris told me that he left not long after he saw you're okay," Jacob replied. He could see the sadness exhibited on her face. "What's the matter? Do you want me to summon him?"

"Ah. Well, I just wanted to ask how he felt after he learned about his girlfriend. I felt bad for him, dad. I always think of him as my good brother, so I hope he'll move on from here. Eva doesn't deserve him."

"I understand that you still care for Bryan. And what you did is enough already. You can stop concerning yourself with him or that woman."

"I know, dad. She can no longer bother Bryan or Vincent from now on."

"And you... She can never harm you again. From here on, you and Bryan will continue your lives in separate ways."

Hailee nodded. She smiled, then rested her head on her dad's shoulder. She just realized how much she misses him.

"Thank you for accepting Vincent's dad," she mumbled afterward.

Jacob squeezed her hand and replied, "As long as Vincent makes you happy and would never hurt you, I would never beat him up then chase him out of Australia."

Hailey giggles. She then bragged about Vincent to her dad.

"Vincent is taking good care of me, dad. When I stayed in Metro City, he pampered and loved me even if he didn't know my true identity. He treated me like a queen."

"Alright. I am giving him ten points if that was true," said Jacob. He then leans over to whisper to her daughter. "Speaking of him... It felt awkward. We're talking all of this when he is just standing a couple of meters away."

Jacob moves his mouth in Vincent's direction, standing in the corner, patiently waiting for the father and daughter to finish talking.

Hailee squeal. "Dad, he's too handsome, don't you think so?"

Jacob rolled his eyes. His daughter never speaks to him about a guy. She never mentioned before if she had a crush on someone, especially the hot men surrounding his daughter. She seemed na?ve to see their assets and physique, which was a dream for every woman to date them. And one of those crazy women is Eva, who has a grudge against her daughter for being too lucky.

Jacob wanted to stay and accompanied his daughter. But since she had someone she more wanted to spend with, Jacob bid his goodbye.

"Take a rest, princess. Don't worry about the company. The boys take care of everything. Remember what the doctor told you? You have to avoid any circumstances that stress you out."

"Yes, dad. I'll keep it in mind. I will take care of myself for your grandbabies."

Jacob's eyes flickered for what she had said. He may not show it, but he was already excited to confirm if Hailee was expecting multiple babies. Finally, there would be little ones that are going to mess up his mansion.

It's been a while since the house was too noisy every time the boys stayed every weekend to accompany his daughter.

Having grandchildren is still a different feeling.

"Bye, dad. See you at lunch."

"Okay, princess. I'll ask the chef to prepare something."

"Thanks, dad."

Jacob placed a kiss on Hailee's hair before he glanced at Vincent. He said, "Take care of my daughter."

"Yes, sir."

Vincent sighs with relief when he could finally have Hailee for himself in at least a few hours. Having everyone around is his rival to her time and attention, and this is something he has to get used to from here on.

"What was in your mind, hubby?" asked Hailee. She was leaning on his chest, but he remained silent.

"I'm just jealous, Wifey," he answered with honesty.

Hailee looked up. She gaped at Vincent lovingly and said, "You have nothing to get jealous of."

She lifted her chin to brushed her lips on top of his. Vincent gently held her face to deepen the kiss. But it didn't last long because their breakfast arrived.

She giggled, looking at Vince's face, frowning.
