His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 386 - Her Wedding Day (Six)



Chapter 386 - Her Wedding Day (Six)

Vince walked toward Hailee and took her hand, guiding her toward the dance floor in the middle of the grand hall.

Beautiful voices then began humming. Soon, Jessa and a famous artist sang one of Vincent's favorite love songs.

"Did you love this song because of me? Or do you already love it?" asked Hailee.

Vincent chuckled and nodded.

"I would never love it if I never saw you in Budapest."

While dancing, their eyes make love. They only swayed very slowly, as Hailee was already exhausted. But she is enjoying her wedding day, and so she wanted to proceed to every program they've prepared as part of the celebration.

Ooohhh...

What if I never knew

What if I never found you

I never had

This feeling in my heart

How did this come to be?

I don't know how you found me

But from the moment I saw you,

Deep inside my heart, I knew

Chorus:

Baby, you're my destiny

You and I were meant to be

With all my heart and soul

I'll give my love to have and hold

And as far as I can see,

You were always meant to be

My destiny

***

Hailee tightens her hold on Vincent's neck, placing her head between his shoulder and collar. At this very moment, they let every word of the song carve into their hearts.

Then, the next song is the song they danced during Vincent's Class Reunion.

"I want to spend my lifetime loving you…." Hailee closes her eyes and listens keenly to the song.

Events of the passing months flash in her head. Walking the journey of finding true love isn't easy for her and Vincent when there are people against them to be together in peace.

When Liam found her in Metro City and planned to abduct her, Vincent appeared and fought him. Not only that, Vincent arranged marriage, which he had a hard time getting his divorce because of Liam using Eva not only to ruin her relationship with Bryan but, once again, it's with Vincent.

And then, the elders and her uncle, Alessandro Martini. But thanks to the surrounding people, they gave their lives to protect Vincent for this love to continue its journey.

She just realized that she was not alone. Everyone supported her and Vincent's love story.

"We must thank everyone, especially those who have faith that our love for each other is true," said Hailee to Vincent.

"Yes, we will." Vincent retorted before he lowered his head to kiss Hailee on the lips. "I love you, Mrs. Shen."

"I love you too, Mr. Shen."

The third song then plays. Vincent pulled himself from Hailee and looked her in the eyes.

"It's your favorite song, right?" asked Vince. He had heard Hailee humming it when she was cleaning the penthouse and earphones in her head.

"Yes, because I always saw mom and dad dancing on this song. After mom died, dad never listened to it anymore."

It's the love song she always heard when her parents were dancing alone, and she was peeping in secret.

Upon hearing it, Vincent stopped swaying. He gently pulled Hailee toward his father-in-law. Vincent then gives Hailee's hand to her dad.

Vincent's gestures warmed Hailee's heart; she hugged him and kissed him on the lips passionately.

Jacob brings her daughter to the middle of the dance floor.

"Princess…" Jacob was emotional that this song would be sung at his daughter's wedding.

"It was Vincent's idea. He learned that this song is yours and mom's favorite song."

Jacob smiled, nodding his head with Once again, his son-in-law impressed him.

I finally found someone

That knocks me off my feet

I finally found the one

That makes me feel complete

It started over coffee

We started out as friends

It's funny how from simple things

The best things begin

My favorite line was

"Can I call you sometime?"

It's all you had to say

To take my breath away

This is it

Oh, I finally found someone

Someone to share my life

I finally found the one

To be with every night

'Cause whatever I do

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun

I finally found someone

Meanwhile, Vincent walked toward his mom and took her hand. Hilda proudly stood up and strode toward the dance floor and danced with her son.

"Thanks, mom."

"What are you saying?"

"Hailee has no immediate female family to help her organize our wedding. Thank you for doing it all," Vincent explained.

"Stop talking nonsense. Of course. I will make sure that your wedding is grand. It is supposed to be, in the first place."

Vincent curled his mouth. He knew his mom very well, so; he stopped teasing her now that his mom's cheeks were flushing crimson red.

Even though she was emotional today, she maintained her composure as the mighty Madam Hilda Lopez Shen.

His mom has always been proud to accept all the compliments thrown at her every time she succeeds in the things she does.

On the other hand, Hilda had the thought. It was her son's wedding, so it should be perfectly grand to impress Hailee's relatives, the royal families.

But of course, Vincent wanted to give Hailee the grandest wedding of the millennium. Gladly, Jacob helped with the wedding expenses. He wants to give everything to his only daughter to make her the happiest bride in the entire universe.

Indeed, everything was extravagant.

Even the royals were amazed by all these luxurious decorations, from the hotel they'd stayed in to the church and the wedding reception.

Of course, one shouldn't forget, and that was the giveaways they gave to the guests.

Jacob didn't mind throwing away the diamonds that their family owned to make over a thousand wristwatches, engraved Vincent and Hailee's names with the symbols of their families…

The Imperial Xing family and the Davies origin.

This wedding was recorded as the highest budget ever, and they didn't care. She wants the best for her son. Hilda thought.

Halfway through the song, Grandpa Allen replaces Jacob to dance with Hailee. She hugged the older man so tight and shed tears as he whispered,

"I know that your mom and grannies were watching over you from Heaven, and they were so happy for you."

"Yes, grandpa. They were always here in my heart."

Then, another song played, next to dance Hailee is Andre. He placed a warm kiss on her forehead while they were dancing slowly.

"I'm glad to see you are smiling this happy," he told Hailee.

"Thank you, Andre. You can stop worrying about me now."

"What are you saying?" Andre frowned. "Of course. I will remain worried. But there is someone who would be worried more than me from now on."

Hailee smiled. What Andre had said was true.

Every day, Vincent showed how much he cared about her. He is always concerned, especially since she is pregnant now.

And to look back on the very first time that Vincent invited her to have some coffee. He already showed his thoughtful side when he draped his coat around her shoulder.

Haylee didn't notice that tears were already streaming down her face. She came back to her senses when Andre's thumb touched her cheeks to dry them.

"What's wrong?" Andre asked dotingly. He sounded like the usual uncle who would turn the world upside down just to pamper and spoil his niece.

Hailee shook her head. She smiled and said, "I would not be that spoiled princess who will keep bothering you and making trouble."

"That's not true." Andre paused, a smile playing on his lips. "There are two more little princesses on the way, and their handsome grandpa will dot them as well."

Hailee shook her shoulder as she suppressed not to laugh out loud.

"I would feel more restless if you would not bother me," Andre added.

Hailee giggled, and Andre chuckled.

It strengthens their relationship through time. Andre let Hailee rely on him all the time, and he always made her feel that he was the person she could trust above everyone else.

But when she was in the second time, she was in her loneliest moment. He wasn't there to comfort her, and it broke Andre's heart as well.

Suddenly, Andre remembered something. He parted from Hailee and looked around to search for a particular person. "Where are you, Pitt?"

Hailee understood after she saw Andre speak over the communication device on his cufflink.

"Why? What happened?" Pitt is leisurely drinking a fermented raspberry, a wine that was a gift from the Shang family to Vincent and Hailee's wedding. He rushes to the dance floor in fear that something has happened to Hailee, such as she is not feeling well.

However, there she is, standing in the middle of the dance floor with both hands stretching toward him.

Pitt is confused. But he still walks toward Hailee. Then Andre spoke in his earpiece.

"It's your turn to dance the princess."

Pitt was stunned for a moment and wanted to inquire. Hailee is supposed to dance first with her family members, especially her father-in-law and Vincent's male relatives.

"Princess?" Still, confusion was written on his face, even when they were already swaying.

Hailee, on the other hand, understood why Pitt was perplexed at this moment. She explained, "I just wanted to do the honor of dancing with my brothers."

After Hailee's words reached his ears, an inexplicable emotion exhibited in Pitt's eyes. Hailee never fails to make them feel how much they are significant to her.

Pitt pushed back the tears that wanted to escape his eyes.

"Thank you, Pitt… Thank you for always being the brother I dreamed of having," said Hailee from the bottom of her heart.

"You are always welcome, princess.?But you are not firing me, right?"

"Why would I?"

Pitt chuckled. Then, someone spoke on the earpiece line...

"I want to dance the princess too!"
