His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 467 I Could Punish You More



Chapter 467 I Could Punish You More

Dream City, Australia

"Papa!"

Angela lunged in her father's arms the moment she recognized the men who appeared in the hotel garden.

To everyone's surprise, the men arrived without announcing.

Hailee had her morning workouts accompanied by the girls when the men made their secret arrival.

Instead of taking the helicopters, Vincent and the others boarded a smaller jet and quietly landed at Dream City Airport.

"Papa!" Hendrik throws his toys on the ground and runs to his father.

Shun scooped his youngest son and put him on his shoulders.

"Have you been a good boy?" He asked Hendrik, and he heard him giggle as he replied to him.

"I am, papa!"

Shun chuckled. Like he didn't know that this guy had a lot of silliness hidden in his body. "Alright. Let's go to your mama and baby sister Aravella."

The father and son approached Cassandra lounging in a beach chair as she was giving her youngest daughter a sunbath. Shun put down his son and wrapped his wife in a tight embrace.

"Good morning, my queen. How's our little princess?"

Cassandra looked up and smiled at her husband. She replied, "She is well behaved."

"That's wonderful."

Their lips meet, then share a long passionate kiss. Sitting on a bench nearby, Allen rolled his eyes when his twin sister and little brother sniggered behind their parents.

Anyway, there's no surprise anymore as they were used to witnessing their parents being intimate like this in front of them.

Meanwhile, Vincent, approaching Hailee on a lounge chair, saw all of Shun's interaction with his family. Observing that, his heart wishes for the day to come fast and he could come home, where his children are running toward him and meet him in the entranceway when he arrives.

Dreaming of that, Vincent hurried his steps toward Hailee.

"Hello, Wifey." Vincent immediately claimed his wife's lips before she could utter a word. He pulled her into a tight embrace, and after the kiss, he buried his face between her shoulder and neck, breathing a sigh of relief.

In the past few days that he stayed in Northern Australia, they were always vigilant as Samuel Miller might have attacked them when they lowered their guard.

"I'm glad you're home." Hailee sees the tiredness in Vincent's appearance. She could not help feeling sorry for him.

Vincent is not only taking care of the corporation and its branch offices, but he is also busy helping Shun to apprehend the leader of the Dark Shadow Organization.

Seeing Vincent losing weight wrenched Hailee's heart with pain. Feeling like this, the more she desired to help solve the matter. Hailee reached Vincent's chin and caressed the stubbles growing on his face.

"Did you get some sleep?" she asked lovingly, tracing the jawline of her husband before she lifted her chin and bit Vincent's ear.

Instantly, his eyes flickered with excitement.

In the passing month that he was busy and had less time than he'd spent with Hailee, he missed the days they were intimate like this.

"I'm fine," Vincent replied, brushing his lips on her cheek, conveying how much he missed her.

On the other hand, Hailee frowned. She didn't believe what Vincent had said, as she knew very well that he did not get enough sleep now that he had more work to do.

And as a wife, instead of scolding him, she has to do something so that her husband feels warm.

"President Shen, you did great."

"Thank you, Wifey. My hard work is for our wonderful family."

"And you deserve praise from us!" Hailee took Vincent's hands and placed them in her baby bump after the fetal movements.

Vincent stared at her with joy. He bent his body and kissed Hailee's belly, mumbling excitedly, "Hey, kids! How are you guys doing?"

It is one of many things that he misses every time he could not come home every day.

"They were more active these passing days," said Hailee delightedly, stroking the side of her baby bump.

"That's great! I'm relieved to know they were doing well." Vincent got up and sat down next to Hailee. He snuggled her, planting kisses on her forehead. "You deserve all the praises, too. Thank you for conceiving my children."

"But I have been bad lately," she muttered while burying her head in Vincent's chest to hide her guilt.

"Hmm… I'm all ears." his encouragement. Vincent knew his wife could hide nothing from him, which always brought delight to his chest. It only means that his wife trusts him so much.

After a moment of debating within herself, Hailee confesses.

"I phoned Lady Isabella to speak with Liam." Upon saying that, Hailee takes a peek at Vincent, searching for a trace of anger on his face. "Are you not going to scold me?"

"Why would I?" Vincent pulled the corner of his mouth. His wife looks too charming, acting up after she could not hide the guilt in her eyes.

"Really?" Hailee fluttered her eyes to act cute. She smiled sweetly when Vincent smiled. However, what Vincent whispered stunned her.

"That's good. I could punish you more. I'll add that to my list and think of another way to punish you further."

Hailee was in a trance as her mind started playing some near-future scenarios awaiting her.

'I forgot, he can be like a beast too!'

She had completely forgotten that her husband was only collecting all the silliness she did in the passing months because Vincent would collect the payment after she gave birth.

"Hubby, you'll be gentle, right?" She teases him.

Vincent gulped, listening to Hailee's pleas as she added,

"Don't worry. I'm willing to give the interest first." Hailee winked at him.

Vincent clenched his jaw as he understood what his wife was talking about. Helplessly, he uttered, "Don't tease me, Mrs. Shen."

Hailee broadened the smile on her lips after she successfully coaxed her husband not to be angry at her. "We can start tonight."

Vincent chuckled and poked her nose. "How I missed your silliness. But I'm glad Lady Isabella declined you."

Hailee dropped her jaw, and Vincent pushed her chin up to close her mouth.

"You knew!" she yelled out.

"More punishment as I learned your plan from someone else."

"Ugh! Shun!" They are best friends now, huh!?

A few days have passed, but the accusation of John plotting his father's death, which also caused the death of his twin brother, was still on hot news, especially it drags Vincent's name into the incident.

People are keener to see if Vincent can get away from the accusation. He was just the new CEO of Davies Corporation, but he had already faced such a scandal.

The media are more persistent in writing articles every day as Davies Corporation didn't release any statement. Instead, the Shen Group answered the malicious comment to Vincent.

"The investigation is complete. So a report will be published soon. Please wait for C Country to release a statement regarding the incident."

The media shared every statement Shen Group posted on their official social media account.

Meanwhile, John also faces criticism and judgment not only from the media but also from the higher executives of J Group.

Early that morning, John drove hurriedly to arrive at the company as soon as possible. The Board of directors plans to replace him now that he has no backing. A few of them are clinging to Samuel Miller, whereas they are not aware that he and John had an agreement.

Thanks to Vincent's help, his assistant Kristian stayed in Northern Australia to keep an eye on the J Group. They foresaw already that the board would not sit idly but aim for the seat.

John admits he lost focus because of Ivy's condition. In recent days, Ivy has continued to break down, leading her to become ill constantly. The doctors advised her repeatedly to take care of her pregnancy; however, Ivy could still not accept what happened to Jay.

Northern City Hospital, Australia

John was exhausted after a long day of salvaging his position. Even so, he still drove toward the hospital to visit Ivy that evening. When he arrived at the door of the private ward, he heard a loud clatter from inside. He immediately took a peek inside, and the scene he saw worsened his headache.

"I'm sorry. I will prepare another soup tomorrow."

John heard Carmen apologizing. Judging the situation, Ivy refuses to eat and throws a tantrum instead.

Carmen picked up the food containers on the floor and put them back in a bag.

"Ivy, you should not do that. Carmen prepared them, especially for you." Mrs. Mills reprimanded her daughter in a soft tone. She doesn't like what Ivy did, but she's more worried about her daughter, and so she bears her behavior as her mood swings up.

"I don't want to eat! Why don't you all understand? Just leave me alone instead!" Ivy was upset that everyone didn't don't listen to her. She had already told her parents to leave, but Carmen arrived.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Mills. I better leave now."

Mrs. Mills looks at Carmen with an apologetic gaze. Carmen smiled at the older woman and headed to the door. It surprised her when she saw John outside.

After the interment of his father and twin brother, John rarely goes home to the Jackson villa. She just learned that John is staying at the hospital every night to accompany Ivy, as Mrs. Mills is also ill, and it isn't advisable for her to stay up all night.

Hoping to see John, Carmen brought dinner to Ivy. However, Ivy seemed upset to see her.

"Hi." Carmen tried her best to show her sweetest smile at John.

"You're here. Let me drive you home."

"Don't you need to watch Ivy tonight?" Despite how jealous she was, Carmen did her best to sound casual.

"I have something to talk to you about, and it is not appropriate to discuss here," said John.

"Okay."

Carmen nodded her head and followed John to the parking lot. He opened the door on the passenger seat, and Carmen quietly got into his car.

Upon seated, she clasped her hands tightly on her lap as she already senses from John's indifferent tone that something would happen tonight.
