Chapter 273 - Put Her On The Pedestal

DREAM CITY, AUSTRALIA

Hailee was yawning when she felt a firmed body underneath her. She realized she was lying on top of Vincent\'s body.

After she had some carrot cake and green tea around 5:30 in the evening, she fell asleep. If she weren\'t mistaken, she\'d sleep for hours.

Ah, poor hubby!

Surely, his body was numbing now, but she wanted to stay cuddled by him.

Hailee gaped at Vince, immersed herself in staring at his handsome face while he slept so peacefully. When she saw him this morning, she could tell how exhausted he was. Now, she doesn\'t want to disturb his nap.

Hailee remains to stare at him for a few more minutes before she slowly gets down from Vince, then sits up on the bed to check the time on her phone.

\'Gosh!\'

It\'s nine-thirty of the night. It was way past dinner, and she wondered if Vince had eaten already when she pillowed on his body.

Hailee types on her phone. "Pitt, are you in the hospital?"

"Yes, princess. I\'m with the others here in the lounge. Gigi and Kelly were here as well. Do you want to have dinner now?"

"Yes, I\'m feeling hungry... Is Vincent done eating?"

"Not yet, princess. I urged him earlier, but he refused, saying he\'d wait for you to wake up to have dinner together."

"I see. He looks exhausted, so I don\'t want to interrupt his sleep. Did he freak out when I lost consciousness?"

"It cannot paint how worried sick he is, princess. Well, all of us have no sleep as well. Everyone was too worried about you too, but he\'s the one who broke down in tears."

She\'s reading Pitt\'s reply. It made her heart leap with joy. Learning that Vince shed tears, an unexplainable warm feeling filled her chest. Making him worried was the last thing she wanted him to feel, but it made her happy to know this.

Hailee glanced at Vince full of love, glimpsing in her eyes. She placed a soft kiss on his lips before she sent another text to Pitt.

"Thank you, Pitt. I\'ll wait for Vincent to wake up for us to have dinner together."

"Alright, princess. Just ring us so that the boys heat the food. They prepared your favorites."

"Oh…"

"Don\'t worry. Vincent told us what food you don\'t like to eat this time around your pregnancy."

"I see. Thanks, Pitt!"

Hailee placed her phone on the bedside table. She then slowly lay down next to Vincent. She was careful not to wake him up, but she couldn\'t keep her hands from touching his face. Her fingers were tracing his jawline and the bridge of his proud nose until it reached his lips.

"Why don\'t you completely take advantage of me when you ogle at me like that?"

Hailee dropped her mouth open when Vincent opened his eyes, then wink at her. She smacks her shoulder from sudden embarrassment. He was awake!

She giggled, then pinched him on the waist, but she swallowed the words she wanted to spill when Vincent claimed her lips. This guy could make her feel like a teenager.

"Next time, wake me up like this..." said Vincent after he parted their lips. "It\'s not healthy for you to miss a meal. It\'s getting late, and you haven\'t had dinner yet."

She smiled at what Vince had said. "But I want us to eat together. You\'re waiting for me to wake up, too, as I pillow on your shoulder."

"I don\'t mind, of course." He said but didn\'t tell Hailee how his shoulder was numbing now, and he\'s suffering real bad. But he could ignore that. Holding her like this made him feel at ease. He wished they could stay like this forever... Like was glued together.

"Thank you," she muttered, full of love.

Vincent brushed her cheeks gently. He\'s glad the swelling from Eva\'s slap is slowly disappearing.

"It\'s healing now. I\'m sorry. I should have watched Eva closely. It should not have happened." he apologized with distress in his voice.

It pained him to see Hailee with bandages on her arms and legs. He\'ll do everything so it won\'t leave any marks on her body. Her skin is so smooth and flawless.

He doesn\'t mind if Hailee had scars, but women boost their confidence when they see flawless skin. She loves sleeveless crop tops, camis, and halter dresses, where she looks too pretty and elegant, whatever clothes she\'s wearing.

He doesn\'t feel less because of her flaws, but he knows it will affect Hailee psychologically.

Starting at her, Vince leaned over and kissed her shoulder.

Hailee could see the sincerity in his eyes and his fear after she fell on the vases. "You don\'t need to apologize to me. Okay?" she persuades him.

"I\'m too worried…." Vincent lowered his gaze to her arms; Hailee could guess what he\'s thinking.

"Are you afraid they would leave some scars?" she asked.

"I don\'t mind. But you are so precious to have those. You don\'t deserve it." Vincent groans with frustration.

Hailee cupped his face and said, "As long as I am still the prettiest girl in your eyes, I will always feel confident in myself."

"You\'re the image of your company. I know how you take care of your body."

He could recall those beauty products in her dressers and bathroom. They aren\'t the ordinary products you can buy in the mall or drugstores. They seem personalized formulations for sensitive skin types.

"Dermatologists surely can do something about it," Vincent added afterward.

Hailee parted her lips into a huge smile. She smacks a kiss on Vince\'s lips.

"Thank you. I know you aren\'t concerned if I ever get ugly. But you are right. I am the first image of my company, so I have to maintain my flawless skin. Don\'t worry. My team is already preparing the research on what kind of formula I need to eliminate the scars on my body without doing any surgery."

"Oh… is it?"

Hailee nodded. "In the past two years, I\'ve invested in a Research Center for beauty products. I want to expand it by introducing our products to middle-class housewives, not just for young single ladies but also for everyone. But my team still failed to find the perfect formulation that I can sell for a little cheaper than its current prices."

"For now, my beauty products are available only to the upper-class consumers. My next goal is to make it affordable to everyone," she added.

Vince kept his silence for a little while. He fell into thought while staring at Hailee, who was waiting for his insights. Ever since Vince knew her real identity, it became too convenient for her to discuss what she was doing in her life.

"I should not forget that I\'m going to marry a businesswoman," said Vince.

Hailee chuckled. Sometimes, she\'d forgotten about that too.

"Hailey Hillson is always available, you know... She will always make time for you." She purred at Vince, playing on the buttons of his shirt.

His eyes gleamed with excitement as this kitten was making a move towards him. He lowered his head to cover her mouth. After the long kiss, he placed his forehead on hers and muttered, "I\'m madly in love with her. But Hailee Davies made me kneel on one foot as I adore her. I want to put her on the pedestal."

"You\'re too cheesy. But I love it!" She and Vince both laugh.

He claimed her lips, kissing her one more time before he urged her to talk about her other company. "Now tell me more about your other company."

Hailee had these sparks in her eyes when she discussed her cosmetic company, the reason he urges her to tell him more about it.

"I see the struggles of mothers who lost confidence after giving birth. Not everyone is gifted with naturally flawless skin, but the majority suffer from stretch marks, skin sensitivity such as allergies and then changes during and after pregnancy."

"You are amazing." This girl keeps impressing him. Vince couldn\'t help compliment her in the middle of her talk. "How can I invest in your cosmetic company?"

Hailee gaped at Vince with surprise. She couldn\'t believe it would interest him. But it made her happy if Vince would become her business partner.

"Well, my company is more on skincare products. Now that we\'re expecting our babies, I\'ve got an idea. When my team succeeds in making cheaper beauty products, I want to name it after our firstborn daughter."

"Oh." He loves the idea! Now he\'s mulling over to find the perfect name. "Could it be Venus? Or Aphrodite? She is the goddess of beauty according to mythology."

Hailee smiled enormously. She was glad to see Vince had already thought about it. In fact, he looks more excited than her.

"Are you sure to name your daughter after Greek goddesses?" She teases him.

Vince laughed awkwardly. It was just something that came to his mind. Now he realized they must choose the names carefully.

He said, "Of course, it\'s up to you what name you would like for our children."

"Well, I\'m thinking of consulting your family. Maybe you have some tradition or beliefs?"

Vince contemplated. "Do you know the meaning of mom\'s name?"

"Nadia and Liza mentioned it before." She beamed. It was one of those days; the great Madam Hilda Shen is chasing her out of the country.

Both Nadia and Liza commented about it.

"Everyone was actually scared of Madam Hilda Shen. Do you know what the meaning of her name is? It means war!" said Liza.

Then Nadia echoed. "She lives up to her name."

She would admit that Vince\'s mom was intimidating. But she never feared her, nor hated her. Madam Hilda Shen was just ethical.

Having a mistress is never right.

No one should be happy about that. But she believes that hers and Vince\'s story has profound excuses and is exceptional.

NEXT ON:

"Vincent Shen?!"

He was dumbfounded to see his mom on the door. "Mom?"

"What are you doing?" Hilda asked his son.

Vincent was puzzled by his mom\'s question. He replied, "I\'m eating, mom."

"And why does Hailee feed you? Are you the one who was hospitalized here?"

Vincent shook his head in response to his mom. He was amazed at how nagging his mom was as always; whatever circumstances are or wherever she was...

She is always the great Hilda Shen.
