Chapter 345 - She's Not Fragile

"You need not think about it, okay? Soon, you will discover it, and I am worried you will stress yourself once you see the news. So, you better hear it from me."

Hailee looked at Vince earnestly. She smiled and hugged Vince. "Alright. Of course, it will worry me and shock me at the same time to learn that Eva is dead. It's not for myself, but because of you. How did it happen? Is this the news Bruce reported to you?"

Vince nodded. He breathed with relief after seeing that Hailee was calm about it.? Maybe they are just overthinking.

It looks like they were treating Hailee like she is too fragile. Or was he just overprotective of her?

Of course, he doesn't want to see her sad or in pain because other people want to trouble their lives.

He only wanted to see her happy every day.

He wants to give the world to her; however, she already has it.

And so, making her happy is the only thing he could offer to her…

Vince leaned over and kissed Hailee on the lips. They already had agreed to be honest with each other and solve every problem and together fight the storm that threatened their life.

"The result Bruce had investigated pointing to Liam Huo. He had someone outside to do things for him, and they hired someone inside the prison to kill Eva."

"Is he afraid that Eva would stand as a witness against him?" asked Hailee.

Somehow, she had a hunch that it was not the real reason, but it was something related to her. However, she doesn't want to assume, and so she is praying it was just a wrong perception that someone died once again because of her.

Vince lifted his right arm, rubbing Hailee's natural pinkish cheeks. He could see a glint of worries as she already had apprehension why Liam did that.

"Whatever Liam's reason, you need not think too much regarding that, okay? But I am thinking of going to see Liam," he said afterward.

"No!" she won't allow it. Hailee turned abruptly and faced Vince.

He explained, "I want to end his madness. I don't want to live with fear every day. What if someone comes and harms our family? I can't imprison our children in one place like how dad did it to me."

Hailee stared at Vince. He is absolutely right. She was also living under her dad's tight watch, afraid that his enemies would harm her.

She may freely wander around Australia, but outside her dad's territory is another story. Their children deserve to have freedom, even if they are mildly strict with them.

"Hubby, maybe you don't need to go. I want you here." Hailee rested her head on Vince's shoulder, buried her face between his neck to breathe in his scent.

Vince knew she was worried about him. "If you are worried that Liam can harm me, you know I can protect me. I know martial arts and sword fighting, and I, and I just showed that to you earlier."

That was a whisper in her ear. Hailee blushed after sensing Vince's teasing tone. How could she forget when she drooled, watching his naked upper body, sweating from martial arts practice?

Not only that, she and Vince did another kind of exercise inside that sacred room.

Hailee couldn't help curling her lips into a playful smile. Clearly, Vince is teasing her, and he succeeds. However, her smile vanished and was replaced with a grim expression since Vince didn't see her face.

Suppose Liam thought he could draw out either Vince or her to meet him. She would not let that happen.

"Hubby, Liam had a permanent disability after I shot his knees, and he could no longer fight with you one on one. However, how about his connections? Liam is a big fish. He knew all the giant criminals in the world, including those International syndicate Shun tried to apprehend all these years. Liam will persuade them to help him do things for him outside for his silence."

Vince pondered with Hailee's words. This girl is right, he mused.

It's not a matter of Liam who ordered to kill Eva inside the prison, and they only gave these people a chance to attack him when he visited Liam.

"Alright. I won't go any longer." He listened to Hailee. Obviously, Liam tried everything to separate him from Hailee, even though he was inside the prison.

"Thank you, hubby. Liam does not deserve to be graced by your visit, and your place is to stay here by my side." Hailee uttered before she lifted her chin to kiss Vince.

The truth is, she would not let her pillow leave the bed. She will go crazy missing him if he isn't by her side during the night. It will be hard for her to have a good sleep.

"I will phone Shun to ask for his help to do something about Liam. Perhaps locking him up in Italy is the best solution."

"I think it was really the best thing to do. In that way, no one could get near him." He concurred.

"Okay. I'll go get my phone," said Hailee.

"Let me get it for you. But you have to sit comfortably." Vincent helps Hailee stand up and sit on the sofa.

Hailee sat down comfortably on the sofa, leaning her back on the armrest after Vince put a pillow before going to the table to take her phone.

"Thank you, hubby." She kissed Vince on the lips. He sat down and brought her legs on top of his lap, then began massaging them.

She sighed with satisfaction when Vince pressed those heels of hers and around her ankles upward to her knees. Vince saw the pleasure on her face.

"Should I put a little more strength?" he asked.

She nodded with a big smile. Vince knows how to please her.

While Vince continued massaging her legs, Hailee dialed Shun's personal contact number. It takes only two rings, and the other line answered.

"Princess?"

"Hey, Shun!"

"Hi! How are you?"

"I'm fine. I started having a big baby bump now." She happily told Shun.

"I could picture it." And he teases Hailee.

Hailee chuckled, but after that, her expression changed. "Shun, I know you already heard what happened last night."

"Yes." Even though Hailee would not see him, Shun still nodded his head. "One of your knights had already reported it to me."

"Can you do something about Liam? He still had contact outside."
