La Prairie Courtyard

  Staying at the hotel is convenient for everyone when they have the entire building for themselves. Having the nannies around, her mom-in-law, her doctors, and the girls, they would only crowd Hailee's apartment every single day.

  Since Dream City is only half complete, the hotel with vintage classical theme decorations will be their residence for the time being until Hailee gives birth.

  The Meadow Hotel nearby is also open for the kids since it has a Nursery Center. Shun brought a few outstanding teachers to give the children some lessons not to get bored, including a few sports such as swimming and then learning Martial Arts.

  While La Prairie Courtyard has a sense of vintage atmosphere, Meadow Hotel has a futuristic theme. The hotel is built with advanced technology, such as AI, through voice command. One can speak to the AI through computers scattered around the hotel or be accompanied by a robot for direction and robots, the ones who clean the entire floor.

  While Shun and Vincent worked hard to solve the matter concerning Samuel Miller, Cassandra will stay in the city for the children's safety, including the Montfort family and the Shangs. They've decided that Nikki will give birth in the city.

  Theo Shang is lending all his family influences and resources to help apprehend more organization members that it causes his life into a pit of misery for many years. It is also his way of seeking more justice for all innocent victims, most especially the death of his father-in-law.

  At the Presidential Suite.

  Vincent was in the study room, seated on the sofa, gazing at something on the center table. He looked up instantly, darting his gaze at the door, when he heard a knock.

  "Busy?"

  Standing at the doorway, Hailee looked enchanting in her dress. She was wearing a pleated-long gown with a deep V neckline.

  Gaping in a little while, it took a moment for Vincent to snap back at his senses.

  Who would not be in a daze upon laying his eyes on his regal wife?

  Hailee had exquisite makeup on her face and painted her lips with mauve lipstick, the same color as her dress.

  "My virtual meeting is done. I'm just resting and looking at something." Vincent replied to his wife as he rushed to her side.

  He led Hailee to the sofa, and after she was seated, he fetched a rectangle ottoman stool and brought it over. Vincent was cautious in holding Hailee's legs when he placed them on the stool.

  He asked afterward, "Do you need anything?"

  "Some water, please…."

  "Okay, I'll be right back."

  Vincent left the study and headed to the kitchen. He took out a bottle of distilled water from the refrigerator and twisted the cap.

  Before returning to the study, he grabbed a table napkin from the box and wrapped the bottle with it to prevent the perspiration from coming out. Vincent thought that it would drench Hailee's hand.

  Seeing Vincent come back, Hailee pursed her lips into a sweet smile. Her husband is getting better and better at pleasing her. He has become extremely attentive. It means he has not just a high IQ but also includes his EQ.

  "Thank you, hubby."

  Hailee took the bottle and drank the content in an instant. Being preggo causes her to be thirsty all the time.

  "What are you looking at, hubby?" She asked Vincent afterward. She saw a map on the table, but she could not figure out why her husband looked at it.

  After Vincent put away the empty bottle, he took a few sheets of the Kleenex and wiped Hailee's mouth. He sat beside her, with whom she unconsciously rested her head on his shoulder.

  "I am studying the Oceania Continent."

  "Hmm?"

  Hailee looked puzzled, so Vincent explained.

  "I'm checking the territories we have our trusted ally with." Vincent pointed to an island as he carried on. "The Crow Corporation and Shang Empire are the companies reigning in Hawaii. Then, we have the Dawson family in T Country and Davidson in NP Country."

  Hailee just nodded her head the entire time Vincent was explaining further. Vincent mentioned the names, mostly close friends of her dad, whose sons became her knights.

  "I will tell Pitt to notify the knights to make a move." She told Vincent.

  "Thank you, Wifey." Vincent looked at his wife with great admiration and respect. So many men were envious of him for marrying such a powerful woman. "You are really amazing."

  Vincent brushed his lips into Hailee's…… As the smooch deepens, it turns into a French kiss.

  "I'll be traveling again. I'm going to miss you so bad." He said after the kiss.

  "Then hurry back so that I can continue paying the interest of my punishment." Hailee had this playful smile when she said this.

  Vincent instantly fell his gaze into Hailee's mouth, making him swallow hard.

  "I'll return the pleasure after you give birth." He whispered into Hailee's ear, resisting not to strip his wife.

  "I can't wait!" Hailee states with glee. She rested her palm on Vincent's thigh while gazing at him, eyes filled with seduction.

  Behaving toward him this way, Vincent groans inwardly as the effect of his wife is great, and it is so hard to resist.

  "Can I have another shower before joining everyone in the dining hall?"

  "I can accompany you if you like to." Hailee winked.

  Vincent rolled his eyes as he cursed inwardly. He rose and said, "No need, Wifey. It will only be quick!"

  Hailee giggled, watching her husband's disappearing silhouette at the door.

  After half an hour, Vincent finished showering and was now wearing fresh clothes. It is time for dinner and tonight is a special celebration.

  "I would feel lonely again. So I've been thinking about what I can do not get bored. I finished writing the Christmas Cards. All it needs is to send them out soon." said Hailee while they trailed the hallway toward the elevator.

  "Great then! You are so fast."

  "Thanks to the girl's help!"

  "I promised to help you. I felt bad that I didn't fulfill it." He has been too busy since the turnover of the CEO position was earlier than they'd planned.

  "You should not. I would rather request you get some rest than help me when I know you are exhausted. Besides, you give me the best present! I'm happy the girls could continue their lessons while accompanying me throughout my pregnancy."

  Vincent had arranged special lessons for the three girls to complete their course next year. It will be enough preparation to study further in Paris and take language courses.

  "I'm glad that I could make you happy with these small things," said Vincent sincerely.

  "It is not a small thing! You made my happiness a big deal."

  They were now on the elevator, so Vincent had a chance to kiss her passionately until the lift door opened.

  "You are my everything, so all the things concerning you are a big deal to me."

  Hailee could not find a perfect word to react to Vincent's sweet words, so she placed her lips on his.

  "I'm so in love with you," she murmured as she kissed Vincent. After another passionate kiss, they resumed walking toward the dining hall.

  "Hail, you are finally here! Gosh! I can't wait to watch the first episode of the Documentary!" Hazel could not decide whether she would dance or jump out of the thrill she felt at the moment.

  "Then how about we take a seat?" James urges his girlfriend to pull her to their seats and push her shoulders to sit.

  "Okay!" Hazel giggled. Honestly, she was just a little nervous because she has many features in the show. Several recordings they made at the university and other places of Metro City, so she was anxious.

  "Alright. Let's have dinner first!" Hailee announced.

  Her gaze traveled throughout the dining hall, making her happy to see her executive knights. But then, her attention fell on the couple entering at the entrance.

  "Oh, gosh! Do I see correctly?" Hailee could not help but burst out upon seeing Vera holding hands with a particular guy.

  "I was also surprised, Hail!" Hazel bolted to Hailee's side and began gossiping.

  "Come here! Stop paying attention to other couples! You have a boyfriend right here!" James pulled Hazel again toward their chairs and pinned her hands on the table.

  "Should I start to ponder if I made the right decision?" said Hazel, causing Hailee to giggle.

  Now, these two are showing their differences and issues between them. James acts like a mature man, while Hazel is witty. But seeing how Hazel's eyes twinkle while looking at James, she is undoubtedly falling in love with him.

  The exclusive dinner party was lavish and merry. As the time hit eight o'clock, the gigantic screen on the stage turned on. Everyone held their breath as Hailee and Vincent's Documentary began playing.
