Chapter 216 - Would You Seduce Me?
After dinner, Vince helps Hailey wash the dishes. When they're done cleaning the plates and utensils, she made two cups of coffee and brought them over to the living room.
She sat down on the chaise lounge sofa where Vince is comfortably leaning on the backrest. She handed him the mug; then began narrating why Hailee Davies came to Metro City as Hailey Hillson.
"I always ask my grandpa to tell me the story of his great grandparents. I was still a little girl by then, but I love the story of where my forefathers got our wealth. His family removed him as a successor of the throne after he eloped with his commoner girlfriend, so he became penniless. But he never stops there; instead, he dreams of building his own kingdom. So I grew up dreaming as well when no one fulfills this dream. But the question then troubled me. How will I make it?"
"So, I began searching the internet until Geoffrey helped me print out beautiful designs of hotels, resorts, and mansions. Also, apartments and condos. I sorted them out and created a photo album. When Bryan was completing his engineering course, we discussed putting up my company when I graduated college. I want to build a city to fulfill my forefathers' dream, and I was happy that my friends wanted to take part. Um..."
Hailey turns her head and looks at Vince. She asked him, "You meet my executives. They were the ones who helped me founded my company even before I graduated from Oxford University. Bryan and Geoffrey, who designed and oversaw the construction of the first buildings in Dream City."
Listening to Hailey's story, Vince blinks his eyes. He is looking back at the day he meets her executives. According to the gossip Tim heard from his girlfriend, most of them are all single. It means they were in their prime career but stayed bachelor. Not to mention they are all rich men from prominent families, which they've invested in Davies Group.
But they were all a bunch of men, handsome men. Now that he meets their boss. He could not stop feeling jealous.
"Wifey... Your executives are all handsome and single."
Hailey looked at Vince with confusion. She blinks her eyes several times as it rendered her speechless of how straightforward he is. But then she understood why Vince commented on this. He is jealous, and she must coax him not to feel threatened by her knights.
She placed her mug on the coffee table. She climbed on his lap and sat down. "Hubby, you have nothing to get jealous of. They are my great friends, and they are so nice to me. So, I love them. But they were all just like a brother to me."
Vince dropped his jaw. This girl deliberately admits to him how she loves other men! Undeniably, after hearing this fact, now, he would get jealous his whole life! What would he feel about it? Of course, he would feel threatened!
"Wifey, you're making me too jealous right now." he sounded like sulking all of a sudden.
"But you are the only man I fall in love with!" Hailey snapped at him. Then she looks at him like a cute kitten.
Once more, it rendered him speechless. It looks like he has a bunch of competitors in her attention. What would happen if he forbade her to go back to Australia?
Ah, no. He wishes for them to be together. It would be best if he were by Hailey's side than with her other knights if he asked her to stay in Metro City. Besides, it isn't right. But he could not avoid feeling insecure!
Right? Ah! He felt helpless! But it is normal for him to feel these emotions.
As she notices his silence, Hailey grinds her hips and rubs her body to Vince. She asked, "What should I do to prove you are the only man for me, and I am madly in love with you?"
Vince lowered his gaze to meet Hailey's eyes. She was leaning on his chest, look seductive. Once again, he felt weak. How could he seriously express his issues if this girl rubbed her lower body on his groin and purred like a kitten?
'She perfectly knew of my weakness.' Vince mumbled inwardly. He caressed her cheek and muttered to her, "I believe you. It's just that… I would honestly get jealous all the time. However, I trust you, Wifey."
"Thank you, Hubby. It's the reason I love you so much! You always stood as the adult one in this relationship. I am still childish sometimes. But I promised you. I will work on that."
Vince lifted her chin and brushed his lips on top of hers as he mumbled. "I love everything about you, even your stubbornness. So then, I don't want you to change your personality as you think it will please me. But if you believe that it's necessary? Then please do it as long as you are comfortable with the changes within yourself."
"It is necessary, hubby! I should start making adjustments when I am a married woman soon. I want to be your wife and the mother of your children. So then, I must act properly! It doesn't mean that I have a bunch of people who would utterly pamper and spoil me; I should remain that way. No. When we got married, things would not be the same anymore. And being honest with you is the start."
Vince took Hailey's hand and planted a tiny kiss on the back of her palm.
"Thank you. I am so pleased to hear that. To tell you the truth, I made adjustments too. I beat myself up to act like a man and open my mind to any possibilities in our relationship. So, I will try my best not to get jealous when you are with your knights, especially your executives. But I probably feel down from time to time. You know… Men love to express their feelings to other men through our punches."
Hailey curled her lips into a smile. She understands what Vince meant to say. He already proved to her there's truth in that, and that is when he beat up Liam. Instead of letting Interpol arrest him. He instead challenged him. Men indeed love to show off who had solid punches amongst others.
And between Liam and Vince. It was Liam who had a swollen face and black eyes than Vince. It appears he only dodges most of Liam's punches.
"Liam's uncle and dad are good friends. We visited V Country when the former king died. It was the time I met him. Then after a few years, we went back to attend the funeral of the present king's wife and Liam's parents. It was the moment he and I got close. But I'm still in elementary that time around. I do not know the meaning of marriage or relationship yet. All I know, everyone is my brother."
Vince remained silent. He blinked twice but didn't make a comment, which made Hailey worried for a moment.
"Hubby… You were only silent most of the time. You can share your thoughts, you know." She encourages him as his silence made her nervous.
She doesn't want any misunderstanding between her and Vince. Although Liam cannot trouble them any more, Vince is the only man she would fight for till death. She's madly in love with him, and so no man or woman can separate them together. Yes, even his mom.
And if Eva would not grant the divorce, she would do everything to force her to sign the divorce agreement. She'll definitely do that even if someone calls her coveting a sin.
While she was in her own thoughts, she felt light but warm kiss placed on her forehead, then on her nose.
"I'm happy that you meet me later than sooner," said Vince, which confused her. He then explained. "Now it made me wonder. I realized it was scary if you were only going to love me as one of your brothers."
Hailey tried to process his statement. It takes a long moment before she understands what Vince was saying. She cracked up, bouncing on his lap.
"Wifey… What you were doing was dangerous." Vince pursed his lips upon saying this. He's only controlling his desire not to eat her again.
Soon Hailey stops laughing and sits still on top of Vince's thighs after she feels his hard-on. She curled her lips as she slid her palms on his chest above the fabric of his long sleeves. She remains to stare at him with her alluring gaze.
"Hm… That was really interesting, hubby." Her hands reached his shoulders. She places them behind his neck. "I wonder if we meet after I got married and then, you'll work for me. Would you seduce me?"
Vince's eyes flickered with excitement. Although the red warning is flaring at the back of his head, he could not help to wonder if he is ready to sin for the sake of his love for this woman.
What if her fiance didn't get back together with his ex-girlfriend? Then Hailey and her best friend get married, and that's the end of him. He isn't sure if he could kill his feelings for her.
But Hailey maybe is right. Probably he could not stop himself from dreaming of being close to her. Or possibly he will continue loving her in silence while he is watching her from a distance.
There would be so many things to happen by then if he meets Hailey when she is also married because he could not promise that he could hide his feelings for her.
Definitely, he covets a sin.
"Wifey… Can I ask a question?" he asked Hailey after he fell from deep thoughts.
"Sure! What is it?" she nodded and smiled.
Vince held his breath for a moment before he released them. When she began sharing about her knights, there is one thing he notices. There is a perplexing expression flashing on her face every time she brings up someone's name. Besides, it was the name she often mentioned.
Vince played with Hailey's hair as he asked, "Could it be that Bryan Anderson is your ex-fiance?"
