Chapter 274 - Destined For Each Other

Vincent is pacing back and forth outside Hailee\'s ward. Her maids are helping her to get a bath. It frustrates him that he could not use his hands yet.

He wants to bathe Hailee himself and dress her. He would love to take care of her and be in service, but he has nothing to do for now but cuddle her.

"Don\'t worry, hubby. Your body is still useful to me. Hug me like this…" she said this morning; they woke up. She gets up from the bed, then sat down on his lap and purred against his chest.

He frowned. She was giving him that kind of look, teasing him as he had his morning hard-on.

"How about a hand job?"

Hailee whispered in his ear; he shrunk his pupils, pressing his mouth tight not to sigh hungrily. This girl was behaving naughtily early in the morning.

She had no idea how he only controlled himself not to touch her when she still looked pale. It scares him she might pass out if they make love.

Moreover, he could not use his hand to pleasure her, the least he could offer to her for the time being. But the main problem here is her knights came and went in her ward.

Like, what the f*ck?

The doctor said she has to rest, but those men are checking her out every hour. They were bringing food and anything, but he had suspected that was only their f*cking excuses.

They don\'t respect their privacy at all!

Vincent had this grim mood exhibiting on his face when Pitt and Tom arrived. They found him leaning on the wall next to the door of the private ward.

"Hey, Vincent Shen! What\'s up, man? Early in the morning, but you look gloomy? Why is that? The princess had her mood swings?"

Vincent shrugged a shoulder. In the past week that he spent much time around Pitt, he was getting used to his nosiness.

"No. I was the one who was having mood swings." His reply to Pitt, who laughed out loud at his answer.

"I could not imagine that you are this honest. But that actually is a nice character of yours. I won\'t be surprised if you persuade the princess with that behavior. She needs an honest guy. Otherwise, she would not understand if you are sulking because of her."

"Yeah. I deliberately told her I would be jealous if she were close to other men."

Pitt and Tom were rendered speechless. Later on, it was Pitt who burst out laughing, patting on Vincent\'s shoulder.

"I think I\'m going to like you too soon," said Pitt delightedly. "Anyway, aren\'t they finished yet?"

"Hailee\'s dermatologist\'s team is there to check how deep her wounds are. I heard they would start making the skincare products she needs to heal her wound faster and, at the same time, won\'t leave a scar on her skin," Vince explained.

"I see." Pitt sighed. He could still remember how pitiful she looked inside Vince\'s arms. Each of them, as her knights, was too cautious she would not get into an accident.

But she was too careless. No one can stop her from doing some stunts that end up bleeding her knees or elbows, scratching her legs, or spraining her ankles.

And seeing her bleed a lot freaks him out. They have been too overprotective of Hailee.

After what had happened, then seeing another man who wouldn\'t want to leave her side as much as them…

Maybe it\'s time to let her go. She will become a mom soon and a wife to someone.

It feels like, just yesterday, that little girl was following them around in secret. Soon, she\'s going to look after her children.

"Hey! Do you need a facial napkin?" Tom elbowed Pitt, and the guy was puzzled. He didn\'t understand him at all. Tom grinned at him, which annoys Pitt. He told him, "You look like you\'re about to cry."

Pitt twitches his mouth. "Shut up, Tom!"

He laughed. It amused him to see Pitt blushed once in a while. This guy loves to make fun of everyone. Getting him good is rare. But he understood why Pitt\'s facial expression suddenly turned emotional. Even he would surely shed tears at Hailee\'s wedding.

They were all going to miss that cute girl who would trouble them even in the middle of their sleep.

"Tom! Dad won\'t allow me to go to Melbourne!"

And in the next few weeks…

"Tom! Dad gave his permission to have a drive toward Northern Australia! I\'ll let others know!"

And whatever came to her mind. The more she\'s growing up, the more she\'s demanding to travel to farther places. Well, at least he\'s still going to pilot her private plane.

He\'s still traveling with her most of the time. And he knew Pitt would be her head of bodyguards. So there is nothing to feel bad about. Pitt was just too emotional, and it was contagious.

"Come on. Let\'s get Hailee\'s breakfast." Tom urges Pitt; both left Vincent, who was still in a gloomy mood.

Not long after, the door opens, and Hailee\'s dermatologist team comes out, followed by her nannies.

"Mr. Shen, the princess, is looking for you," Mrs. Brown informed him. She is the Headmistress of the Davies family, serving for forty years already.

"Thank you, Mrs. Brown." Vincent thanked the older woman, sighing with relief that finally, after almost two hours waiting, they\'re done examining her.

He steps inside the room; Hailee immediately opens her arms to hook them around his neck when he sits next to her on the sofa.

Vincent claimed Hailee\'s lips; she tasted sweet; he\'s enticed to thrust his tongue inside her mouth to kiss her deeper.

"Ahem! Food is here. It\'s time for breakfast, princess." Pitt announced he didn\'t care, even if the couple was making out.

Tom, who was following behind Pitt, shaking his head from astonishment. Pitt has no consideration at all. He admires his nosiness to the princess\'s privacy. May Vincent conceals his annoyance toward them, but he caught that glint of irritation in his eyes.

It looks like he has to gather the knights and discuss crucial matters. The princess isn\'t a little kid anymore. She will have her own life from here on, and everyone should have accepted that.

Tom had this thought in his mind when he placed the basket of fresh strawberries on the coffee table.

"Here, Princess! Fresh picked out this morning from Russell Farm." Tom smiled to see the joy in her eyes.

That girl who always has the sweetest smile and purest heart. Everyone is overreacting now that she has a lover. But for him, she was always the girl they all have known...

"Thanks, Tom! They are so big and so red!" Feeling thrilled, she picked up one and put it in her mouth. In the next few seconds, she had already eaten five strawberries.

"Alright, princess. We\'re leaving now," said Tom, pulling Pitt outside.

"Hey, let me go! Why are you dragging me?" Pitt complained and was about to go back.

"Are you serious about being the third wheeler inside?" asked Tom with one eyebrow raised upward.

"So what? Vincent wounded his fingers, and the princess has cuts in her arms. Who would feed her?"

Tom has rendered speechless. He was dumbfounded at Pitt\'s response. \'This guy is impossible.\' He mumbled inwardly.

"What are you laughing about?" Pitt asked Tom after the guy smirks at him.

"You know what? Enough being excessive to the princess. You know that things aren\'t the same anymore. She had a fiance now, and they were expecting already. It\'s time for the princess to live her life without relying so much on us."

"You know that was not!" Pitt argued.

Tom sighed. It looks like things would not be easy. He just talked to Pitt, and this guy showed stubbornness already. How if it was everyone who he speaks to now? He should prepare himself then, thought Tom.

Inside the ward, both Vincent and Hailee heard the conversation outside. A flash of sadness passed in her eyes, and Vincent caught that before she shrugs it off.

"I should talk to them," he told Hailee. Vincent decided he had to initiate an all-men heart-to-heart talk with all of her knights.

The silent dispute between him and the knights would cause an unhealthy environment. They were all working in the same company and with the same goal.

Moreover, they all wanted to create a happy place for her. What they wanted to see is her beautiful smile each day. But if they were indifferent toward him, he knew Hailee would be affected.

And his only choice is to court her knights and persuades them.

Hailee raised her arm and held his face. She brushed his lips on top of his as she muttered, "Thank you. Maybe that is the best thing we must do for my knights to see that you truly love me. I\'ll ask Tom to set an all men\'s out for you all. I think it will be perfect for my yachts."

"Hmm… What if they throw me into the ocean with a rock tied on my ankle?"

Hailee laughed out loud at the crazy thoughts Vincent had at the moment. He was too cute having that expression on his face while narrating his imagination.

But Vincent intentionally makes a funny face. He wants to see Hailee smile and stop worrying about her knights for not accepting him yet.

"There… I need that smile," he mutters on top of her lips.

Hailee playing Vince\'s ear, she softened her gaze as she uttered, "I think I would not have overheard Eva\'s conversation with her best friend if I didn\'t search for you."

"Well, your dad made sure I would not find you three years ago. Still, we will meet as we are destined for each other."

"I love you, Vincent Shen…."

"I love you more, Hailee Hillson Davies," Vincent claimed her enticing lips; he didn\'t let her go until both were out of breath.
