His Contractual Mistress - Chapter 479 The Man in Her Dream (Three)

Chapter 479 The Man in Her Dream (Three)　　”What else happened in that timeline?” Shun asked the couple.

Madison and Levi shared everything they found out that was about to happen in the near future.

“Papa, Hailee got angry at you because you knew Vincent would die, but you did not save him. She also hates us because we didn’t tell her about it. Instead, she learns the mystery in this world from someone else.”

“The Dark Shaman, is it?” Shun guessed. “That man certainly never took a vacation and spared us all to live a peaceful one lifetime once in a while.”

Shun felt helpless, as he had to make careful decisions once again. Decisions that either make him the hero or the villain.

He reached his forehead and kneaded his temples. He mused, ‘That man is starting a new game, huh? And this time, his pawn is Hailee’s fate.’

Shun leaned forward, placing his elbows on the couch’s armrest, then rested his chin on top of his folding hands.

“The both of you are saying… The Alliance got separated after Hailee took revenge for Vincent’s death, and then I stopped Hailee from making reckless decisions. This leads Hailee to think of me as the enemy because she thinks I am afraid to be killed by her sons.”

Shun paused and pondered. After he digested the information, he went on.

“So later on, Hailee defeated me with the help of her sons, as they could harm me. Not knowing my nephews could hurt that man as well. Now, this is interesting.”

A cunning smile played on Shun’s lips as he added, “That man is able to get close to Hailee. However, we don’t know which life and body he possessed this time to live like a normal person among us. Whatever appearance he has, it is always easy for him to invite someone to work for him and become his puppet.”

“That always has been his doing, Shun.” Derek echoed.

“What are your thoughts now, Papa?” Madison started to feel restless as they concluded.

“We have to watch Hailee closely. We have to distinguish that man among us to take everything under control. Since he chose Hailee’s life to play with as he saw it as a great tool to get back at me and kill me in this lifetime, we have to work in silence.”

“So we won’t tell Uncle Jacob?” asked Levi.

“We won’t, but we will give Hailee some choice. At least, whatever she will do in the end after she learns the truth, she has enough knowledge of both the High Royal Family and the Mafia Association. We have to remember not to intervene too much, only the necessary things.”

“Such us?” Levi asked Shun curiously.

“I can’t figure out everything yet. So we must be ready and come prepared for whatever outcomes after we make a few changes,” Shun replied with firmness in his words. “Now, I want to know everything that happened in the second timeline. What are the changes after we intervene in Hailee’s life?”

“I need more time to investigate further. I need to travel time again, Papa,” replied Madison.

“Hmm…” Shun contemplated. He stood on his feet and walked toward the glass window, looking at Hailee, feeling sorry. “I think it is best if we conceal a few of Hailee’s memories.”

Upon saying that, Shun turned around and glanced at Isabella. However, Madison protested.

“What do you mean, Papa? Will Hailee forget her feelings for Vincent? You can’t do this to her!”

“It will only, for the time being, Madison. We have to prepare for the future that awaits us. Don’t worry. I will make it up to them in the future.” Shun calmed Madison, the daughter he had from his first life three hundred years ago.

“Papa…” Madison is determined to disagree. It pained her to think of Hailee forgetting her first love. However, she could not deny that, at some point, Shun was right. They must prepare for the tragedy in their lives that was about to come their way, and that was very soon.

“Calm down, sweetheart. We should focus on how we could change the future. We are not only saving brother Shun’s life, but Hailee’s as well. I am sure more lives are at stake, so we need to succeed.” Levi saw the anxiety exhibited in her eyes, so he comforted her.

Madison looked at her husband with a loving gaze as she nodded her head. “Alright, I understand.”

Levi was satisfied with his wife’s reply. He kissed her on the hair, and then his attention moved to Hailee.

“Brother Shun, even after we did a minor change and intervened in Hailee’s life, in the second timeline, she still hates you because you do everything to stop her from gaining power. Hailee blamed herself for not protecting Vincent that she vented her anger on you and the association. She becomes frustrated not to hold a power like yours, which leads her into obsession.”

Shun processed Levi’s words, weighing what was best to do.

“Whether I stay alive or die soon… Then Hailee must learn how to run the Alliance.”

“You were saying, Shun?” asked Derek, perplexed by what Shun was thinking now. He reminded him, “You knew that Uncle Jacob disagreed with Hailee to get involved in the association. In High Royal Society, yes. But being a mafia?”

“I will enlighten Uncle Jacob for him to understand my intention.”

“So, will we defy Fate once again?” said Levi excitedly.

“We are not defying fate but delaying its work.” Lady Isabella chimed in. “Besides, if two people are destined to meet and be together in this lifetime, they will find each other no matter what we do to break them apart. Except…”

“Except for that shaman who can play us all.” Madison finished Isabella’s words.

“We have no choice but to intervene one more time, yes,” Shun said meaningfully. “It’s not just for me, for Hailee and Vincent, but for the next generation to make choices for themselves.”

“I love when we fight against fate!” Levi exclaimed.

He is delighted with a new adventure he and Madison will explore soon. Because every time they travel time, whatever danger they will face and a risk to their health, it’s all worth it at the end of the journey.

“Levi, we are not fighting against fate, but the person is manipulating it.” Derek reminded him, and it burst out of his happy thoughts.

He twitched his mouth as he exclaimed, “Of course, brother Derek! We won’t let this man do whatever he likes! I would not allow him to use me as a piece in his chess game!”

“Keep that enthusiasm. Once again, we will have long days and nights,” said Derek with a smirk.

“I’m back!”

A beautiful woman with the appearance of a teenager entered the room with a sweet smile on her delicate face. Shun rushed toward her side and embraced her tight, kissing her passionately.

“Welcome home, love,” said Shun lovingly. He claims his wife’s lips and kisses her feverishly. “I missed you so much. It took you so long this time. How is it?”

Shun waited for Cassandra’s reply. He watched as his wife pursed her lips and curled into a silly smile.

‘She seemed looking for punishment. She’s been naughty lately.’ he thought.

[Author here! Flashback is a total of seven chapters. And as a recap of the previous chapter. Hailee asks Madison about something, but Madison cannot reveal the truth. Even so, I will show you the answer to Hailee’s question. It will be more questions if I will directly show this man without more explanation why he is after Hailee and the kids. Thanks, loves!]
