Chapter 410 - Married To Eva (One)
"Hailee!"
The girls immediately welcome Hailee with hugs and cheek-to-cheek kisses. These women are Hailee\'s High School classmates she got close to.
They were actually at her wedding, but she had little time to entertain them as she mingled with more of Vincent\'s relatives, and she had to take a seat many times to rest. Now, this is the best time to have a chit-chat to their heart\'s content, inquiring about each other\'s recent life events as they all are career women.
"Girl, look at you! How did you do it?" Kyla commented regarding Hailee.
"Hmm?" Hailee had a puzzled look on her face. It confused her with what Kyla was pointing to as recently so much happened to her life.
Then later, it was the other girls who enlightened her.
"You look so gorgeous, preggy!" Crystal echoed.
"True! You are glowing, Hail! What is your secret?" Janet chimed in with a tease in her tone.
Hailee smiled at her friends as she now understood what they meant. She could not hide the happiness that always filled her heart, and it registered on her face.
She is madly in love with her husband, and being a mom soon somewhat made her feel so proud. Such events change so much her life, which she embraces lovingly, as it gives her the feeling of completeness.
Indeed, nothing she could think of now, but her life was perfect.
Some people believe she must have done so many good things and sacrifices in her past life that in her present life, she was too blessed in this lifetime.
She has a loving husband who showered her with so much love she could not ask for more, but Vincent exceeded what she prayed to God to have in her life. And her in-laws treated her well; she knows not because of her wealth but as the woman who loves Vincent the way he is, no less.
People think her husband is inferior because he could never surpass Davies\'s wealth. But what is she going to do with so much wealth if Vincent happens after her family status and they are only bound for business benefits and not love?
She and Vincent tie a knot not only because they want the sacred blessings of the Holy Matrimony. But they want to seal their love into eternity.
"Is that even a question? Of course, our dear friend always had her fill! Can\'t you see how round the belly is evidence here!"
Hailee was zoomed out from her deep thoughts when Daisy jested and touched her belly. The girls laughed at Daisy\'s tease, which made her drop a jaw before Hailee laughed vigorously. She is used to this girl\'s teasing. So she could only shake her head and pursed her lips into a sweet smile.
"Alright, girls... Why don\'t we have a toast for our Queen?" said Daisy afterward.
"But Hailee cannot drink any liquor that has alcohol, remember?" Kyla interrupted and reminded the girls.
"Don\'t mind me," said Hailee, waving both her hands. "I\'ll be fine with cold water."
Daisy immediately called a server and asked for a glass of cold sparkling water. The six girls raised their glasses and had toast cheerily when it arrived.
"Girls, Hailee shouldn\'t remain standing this long. We should take a seat." Carry suggested after they sipped on their wine glasses.
"Carry is right. But first, let\'s get something to munch on. Hailee must be hungry," said Daisy. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. Let\'s go to the buffet table!"
Daisy leads them to the buffet table, and the girls get Hailee a plate and help her fill it with her favorite delicacies.
Hailee\'s eyes twinkled with delight after she found her favorite cheese and macaroons. She fills half of her plate with smoked air-dried speck and fruit tarts.
"Do my godchildren like potato salad?"
Hailee looked at Daisy and smiled. This girl is already offering herself to be the godmother of the unborn children.
"Yes, we are!" Hailee replied gleefully.
"Don\'t forget! We would love to become the pretty godmothers too!" chimed by the others.
Once they got something to eat before the main course to serve, they headed to a French chaise lounge and continued chatting about random topics, which they ended up laughing at. These girls are all beautiful women in their unique ways.
But the girls are not the only ones who had the fun. Pitt and James introduced Vincent to their friends and acquaintances in that circle.
Vincent already met a few of them at his wedding, but they only shook hands after expressing their wishes and congratulations, as there were so many guests to mingle with one by one.
"Vincent Shen!" A tall guy in a navy blue tuxedo walks toward the group with a massive smile on his face. "My man!"
"Mikael Davidson!" Vincent shook hands with the guy, then a quick embrace, and pats each other\'s backs.
"Good to see you, brother!" Mikael cannot close his mouth from smiling.
"So am I... How were your wife and your twins?" Vincent asked afterward, clicking glass with Mikael.
He replied, "They\'re doing great!"
"I\'m glad they are well," said Vincent with sincerity. He added, "Congratulations, by the way."
"Thank you. Same for you! You are a father soon too!"
Vincent smiled and nodded at Mikael. Then, the guy added,
"I apologize. We weren\'t able to attend your wedding to the princess. My wife was actually excited, but we never expected that two days before the wedding, she had to do CS when she was just twenty-eight weeks pregnant."
"That\'s alright. It was an emergency, and the condition of your wife and twins is the most important."
Mikael stretched his arm and raised his glass toward Vincent. He immediately brought close his glass and clinked it with Mikael\'s, drinking the content with one go.
The other men in that group watched this interaction with great curiosity as Mikael and Vincent spoke like they were close friends.
"You know Mr. Shen, Mikael?" asked one guy who could not keep his curiosity to himself.
"Yes, I am! Vincent, who designed my resort." Mikael replied with proudness on his face, tapping Vincent on his back.
"Oh." The other men made that astounding look on their faces.
"Well, it didn\'t highlight him that much because that was Vincent\'s collaboration with the Lewis Construction Firm," Mikael explained. "But he received recognition the following year."
"Yeah. I was just new in making my name as an international licensure architect back then, and Prof. Lewis offered me to design Davinson Resort as my internship project." Vincent then clarified about that matter five years ago.
"You were just an intern when you designed Mikael\'s resort?" Rob Dawson queried. Recently, he invested in Davinson Resort with a new project, and they are looking for the best designer to handle this project.
"Vincent has been designing since he was just a freshman in college, the reason he didn\'t need to complete five years of architecture course. Am I right?" Mikael nudges Vincent by his elbow.
Vincent immediately added to Mikael\'s boast about him.
"I am grateful to Prof. Lewis for guiding me. He is the one who offered me the internship in my third year."
"And Vincent passed his course with flying colors!" Mikael carried on. "Anyway, now that we have brought about my resort.. I was actually shocked that Miss Eva Lan is married to you. How did that happen? Have you both developed a feeling when you designed my resort and Eva did the interior designing?"
