Chapter 238 - Vince Found Out

"Keith, thank you so much for everything you did for me in these passing months. I'm such a bother," said Hailey. "Instead, you were supposed to be at Daisy's side, but you were here with me instead."

"What are you talking about, Princess? Daisy would kill me instead if I do not help you. Besides, it was my great honor to fulfill my role as your knight." Keith answered with a smile. His gaze was of a brother who dearly protects his sister, and she could feel it.

Hailey hugged Keith, then Bruce. She thanked him as well for being too helpful since the first day she arrived in Metro City. But they haven't met at that time yet. But it was Bruce who became her errand to investigate, especially about Vince and the Shen Group.

Now it's time for their flight. Vince holds Hailey's hand to help her climb the stairs, then both take a seat.

On this flight, Gigi came along. Tom plans to introduce her to his family in Melbourne, Australia. And so, Tom and Gigi will have a long drive from Sydney to Melbourne.

And because they were taking off at midnight, Hailey took a nap in Vince's arms. The entire flight, she was only sleeping, but Vince suits himself awake and watches her sleeping, making sure she is comfortable in her seat.

"Boss, do you need a drink or coffee?" asked Tim. He was sorting out some documents that he supposed his boss would look at. But he was here and couldn't take his eyes away from his Queen.

"A mug of coffee, please."

Tim right away left and headed to the pantry. Pitt already showed him around, and so he knew where it stocked the beverages and food.

The Davies private jet and Shen private plane have vast differences, of course. While Shen could only spend a million dollars on a private plane, the Davies can throw a billion on it.

But in these passing months, he was around Hailey Hillson or Hailee Davies. He has never seen her act arrogant or superior like a spoiled brat rich girl. In fact, she is a nice and sweet person. Unless she was slandered, mostly because of the Lan family's doing, she never backs down on those slanderers.

***

It was dawn when they arrived in Sydney. Tom brought the plane toward the hangar he requested yesterday. Hailey wants to keep their arrival a secret and that it is easy for him to make arrangements since he has many loyal to the princess even though they aren't her knights.

They were men of Kristian, personal assistant and right hand of Lord Jacob Davies.

Instead of staying in Davies Manor in Sydney or hotels that belong to the Davies Group, they headed to Tom's villa, located outside of Southern Sydney.

As they arrived, they had another breakfast, as Hailey requested. Vince couldn't help but notice that Hailey kept yawning.

He asked, "Are you still sleepy?"

"Yes," Hailey replied. "I think I will message Bryan to meet him this evening. I want to sleep more after breakfast."

"Alright then." Vince kissed her forehead.

Held hands, they were taking the stairs toward the guest room prepared for them. They will stay for a few days until Vince talks to Eva and signs the divorce agreement.

After then, Hailey plans to move to Davies Manor to talk to her dad before she and Vince fly to Budapest, Hungary, and meet the Elders.

One step at a time… It's getting closer. Hailey thought.

Meanwhile, something caught Vincent's attention. Closely, he was looking at the frames hanging on the walls.

In each of the frames, Hailey was in the picture. There are frames where she is alone in the photo. If he didn't witness how clingy Tom is to Gigi, and now they were engaged. He would start thinking that Tom was in love with Hailey to hang a hundred photos of her.

Vince was in a trance for a moment. He still couldn't fully reckon that there are men who love her so much. He knew he should not feel threatened or get jealous of them.

Liam probably feels this way. Vince thought. And so, he will try to be understanding of all the men that Hailey is close to.

"So this is what you look like when you are little," he mumbled.

"I'm embarrassed!" Hailey covered her face, which Vincent pulled her closer.

"Why would you? You were so cute back then!"

"How about now?" Hailey peeped between her fingers; she put out her tongue that made Vince let out sexy laughs.

Tom noticed them flirting on his staircase while looking at the frames on the walls. "Would you like to keep some of these photos, Mr. Shen?"

"Can I?" There are sparks in his eyes as he confirms if Tom was serious about saying that.

"Sure! Take as much as you want." Tom knew already that Vincent would take all the photos that Hailey is alone in.

Tom, as a pilot, also loves photography. He is silent and calmer among the knights because he wants to appreciate life through his camera.

He traveled the world either alone or with Hailey and other knights. During those trips or vacations, his camera is always in his hands.

Now that they've talked about the photos on the walls. Gigi has been curious to see them. She carefully looked at the frames and was shocked to find her pictures were there as well.

"You also took a photo of me?"

.

"Yeah. But the rest was hidden where only I could see them." Tom smirked.

"Seriously?" Gigi was dumbfounded to know this.

"I hide your solo photos here in my heart."

"You are so cheesy and corny again." Gigi pouted. But then her lips tore with a big smile.

Tom laughs at what she said, but then his expression turns solemn afterward. "They said it's a sin to like someone's spouse. Then how about admiring her? Then after you have divorced Galvin, finally, my admiration can turn into sinless affection."

He winked as he continued, "I can seduce you at last."

Gigi was laughing so hard at his shamelessness. She was happy, though, at the same time embarrassed by how Tom kept declaring his love for her in front of their friends shamefully.

She couldn't believe that Tom had already liked her, even though she was married to Galvin back then.

And so, when Tom kissed her, she responded passionately and forgot that they had company.

Pitt rolled his eyes; he invited Tim to go in the pool yard while Hailey and Vince resumed climbing the stairs.

"I'll look at them again later and pick out what I wanted to bring home."

Hailey chuckled at how excited Vince sounded. He looks like a kid who cannot wait to claim his reward.

"I will take everything that you are solo in the photo," Vince added afterward.

Hailey had already guessed that Vince would say this. "I took a lot of photos when I was a kid. You can have them."

"Really? How about your other knights?"

Hailey let out a loud laugh. Gladly, they were now inside the room Tom gave them. "Are you planning to collect all my photos from them?"

Vince had this enormous smile when he admitted it. "Yes, I will. I'm jealous. So, I will confiscate them all."

Hailey couldn't stop laughing at what he said. She pinched his cheek and said, "Hubby, I'm starving."

They have already had breakfast on the plane, but Hailey isn't satisfied with the food they brought over.

"Okay. I'll go check if the maids are done making breakfast."

"Thanks!" Hailey placed a kiss on Vince's lips before she let him go.

On his way down the stairs, Vince mumbled on his head. 'Why does she have a huge appetite now? It was like someone also eating inside her stomach. Surely it wasn't a worm.'

Vince snapped himself when he arrived at the kitchen. He greeted the two maids and apologized.

"Why are you apologizing?" said the older maid.

"My girlfriend suddenly has a huge appetite lately. And it's unusual food. So she's been craving food all the time." Vince added into his head.

The older maid laughed and patted his back.

"Of course, pregnant women have unusual cravings, especially in the first months of pregnancy. Others would continue their unusual habit of eating and cravings even when they are close to their due."

Vince was remained surprised. He didn't hear what the rest of the older maid's remark when there was only one word registered in his head.

"PREGNANT?"
