His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 379 - His Rivals To His Children

Vincent gently brushed Hailee's eyes, drying from tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Congratulations, Hailee! Congrats, brother!" Sheena hugged them both; she quickly parted to wipe her tears.

Sheena was extremely happy for her brother Vincent, and he was there for her when the world turned its back on her.

Having someone like Hailee, Sheena believes Vincent deserves her and all the happiness in the world.

Hailee hugged Sheena back; she thanked her for everything she'd done since the first day they planned out the wedding and every detail of her bridal and baby shower parties.

Then, her dad, Jacob, and in-laws came up to the stage to congratulate her and Vincent.

Hailee throws her arms around Jacob, who embraces her lovingly, just the way he has been treating his daughter dotingly.

Soon, he has two little princesses to dot and spoil. He was happy that he had already announced his retirement, and he had all the opportunity to stay home and watch his granddaughters.

Meanwhile, Fred was delighted to learn that he has two grandsons from Vincent.

The Shen heir is secure. Finally, he can breathe with relief. Instead, he is looking forward to teaching his grandsons all things he taught to their dad. Including as well the things he learned from Vincent.

Life is not about being just knowledgable as you become older and walk the world for a long time already, but the lessons you embraced from that journey.

Everything is just a waste if you ignore the best lessons life offers you when you are younger and grow old ignorant because of arrogance and ego.

Fred learned many things from his children, primarily from Vincent. He is the one who didn't give up on this family but kept his patience toward his nagging mom.

"Congratulations, son! I'm so happy for you and Hailee." Fred patted Vincent's back.

His heart melted when Vincent stifled with sobs in his shoulder. He runs his palm on his son's back to coax him.

"You did great." He told his son with the father's pride in his voice and heart.

"Thank you, dad."

Fred nodded, then let go of his son to look at his wife. Hilda is congratulating their daughter-in-law.

Hailee didn't just give them two heirs but also two princesses. Their family is growing, and Australia absolutely will become their second home from here on.

"Son, I'm thinking of purchasing a mansion here in Dream City so that we can visit the kids every time we come to Australia."

"What are you saying, dad? Hailee and I would love for you and mom to stay with us. I am designing the castle, I promise, for Hailee and our children. You are welcome to live with us."

"I know that. But it will also be a home for your sisters when they visit Dream City."

Vincent ponders for a moment. There will be no problem for everyone to stay in any of Hailee's mansions across Australia. But having his own for his parents is not a bad idea. Soon, their family will even grow big. It was nice for the cousins to meet and bond, like how he spent the summer with Zayn, Rodney, Carl, and all of his cousins in one place.

"Okay, dad. The Lewis Construction firm that handled the Dream City Estate Residential, and you can discuss with Chairman Lewis the villa you wish to build."

"Sounds great, son!"

Hilda holds Hailee tight while fighting the tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Although her face wrote how emotional she was, she had an impressive control built for many decades since she was a teenager. But deep down, she knew that the soft spot of herself was trying hard to hide.

"Congratulations, Hailee. You are a mom of four now."

"Thank you, mom. I don't know how to handle it, but I will do my best to be their mom."

"You will be a great mom. I'm sure of that."

Hilda said this from the bottom of her heart. She may never be the best mom, but it's not late for her to be a wonderful grandmother to all of her grandchildren.

"I may not be a capable mother, but I promised I would be a cool grandma," Hilda added.

Hailee giggled and hugged her mom-in-law once again. "You are a great mom. Whoever Vincent is today, and it's also because of your contribution in raising him."

"You really know how to flatter me." Hilda smiled genuinely. She knew deep down that she was still the same person who would not lower her pride. But for her family, especially her grandchildren, it will be another story.

"Mom, my children would be so lucky that they have a grandma like you."

"Yes, she is!" Both Deana and Sheena joined in snuggling Hailee and their mom.

"The kids are clingy toward her now. They said granny bought them lots of dolls and toys!"

Their moms have already showered them with material things. In fact, before they rebelled against their mom, she spoiled them with everything, even if they didn't actually need them.

It's just that she was too strict with many things and a nagger.

"Hail, we're so delighted! Congrats for having quadruplets!" Deana placed a warm kiss on Hailee's cheek. She was always happy to see her brother had this bright face every time she talked to him over the phone, and now that she witnessed everything in her eyes. Hailee is the source of their brother's happiness.

"Thank you, girls. I love you all." Soon, Hailee let go of her sis-in-laws, and she turned to Fred and hugged her dad-in-law.

"Congratulations, Hailee."

"Thank you, dad."

Fred didn't take long; he gave Hailee to Vincent, then they took a family picture. Loud applause filled the grand hall, and everyone expressed their congratulations and took photos with them.

After the gender of the babies was revealed, there was one person who remained silent.

"James, why aren't you congratulating Hailee and Vincent yet?" asked Carl.

James only twitched his mouth. But he didn't reply to anyone who asked him the same question.

"Dude! What happened to you?" Pitt queried.

James hurls a deep sigh that makes everyone wonder. It was rare for him to shut his mouth and feel down like this.

"I'm just thinking how to handle the two baby Hailee soon."

"Huh? Two babies, Hailee? What do you mean by that?" Rodney asked curiously. None of them get James' sudden drama.

"What if the princess one wanted to go to Sydney? But princess two wanted to go to Melbourne? Whom I would accompany?"

His explanation stupefied everyone, and they tried to process in their head what his point was.

"Vincent is not even thinking about that matter yet when he is the dad. Then, how come you've been worrying about that already?" Matthew Lawrence remarked with a broad grin on his face.

James only cast a downward look at him. He hissed, "Of course! I am a great uncle! I will accompany the princesses like I let their mom drag me around Australia! But it's a different story when there's two of them soon."

Everyone was surprised. They saw a side of James of how concerned he was when it comes to Hailee and now to her daughters.

James was indeed very loyal and cared much for Hailee. He never neglected protecting her, especially the times Liam could get near Hailee. He is ready to catch a bullet for her.

"Dude, it's really a big problem if princess one wants to learn how to navigate a yacht and then princess two wants to race a car."

Vincent frowned upon listening to the men's conversation. They were wrong to think that he wasn't worried yet.

Now that he learned he has two daughters, the worries are even worse. Just to imagine them growing up and doing what their momma loves to do, it feels like his heart wanted to jump out of his heart.

But as he and Hailee had an immense responsibility in managing Davies Corporation, they were often out of the country. Then he will be forced to entrust his children to Hailee's knights.

What if they will influence his children? What if these men allow their daughters to drive their mom's sports cars?

Their momma has countless race cars in her garage. Now it worries him. His mom should not let his children sneak out or escape from the bodyguard's watch with their mom's sports car.

Vincent suddenly felt dizzy, playing the scenarios from the distant future. He needs to ask Hailee to hide her cars if their kids already know how to drive.

He's hoping these men won't dot his children more than he would be!

Now Vincent started realizing something. There are a bunch of men that will become his rival in his children's attention.

He already struggles to keep Hailee to himself without clashing against her knights. However, either they are her executives, they are her bodyguards.

Soon, they will also be his great competition in his children's time!

'They have a bunch of uncles to call on….'

Vincent thought about his children being clingy to other men they would think of as a second father or third father, whatsoever during his absence when he's busy at work.

It seemed like he had to accept the truth. He has been witnessing how these knights pampered Hailee.

And so, Vincent isn't sure either to feel happy that many people will watch over his children and assure their safety if these men would also become his rivals in his children's attention.
