His Contractual Mistress - Chapter 483 The Man in Her Dream (Seven)

Chapter 483 The Man in Her Dream (Seven)　　She stared at the man’s side profile feature. Although he seemed thin, it didn’t hide the fact that he was handsome and had unique features.

Even though Pitt, who looked like K-idol and Chester, was like an Asian heartthrob actor. They could not compare to…

‘Ah… Why am I thinking this way?’ Hailee shook her head. It was the first time she had compared someone to her friends.

“There you are!”

Hailee’s train of thoughts cut off when Madison arrived. She turned around and smiled at the girl.

“What are you doing here?” Madison sounded interrogating her. She looked around and scanned the area. Then her lips curled into a teasing smile. “Have you…”

Madison glanced at the man inside the other hall.

“No… no! I was just taking pictures… I mean, the pictures of the scenery outside!”

Madison stifles her laughter when Hailee’s cheeks blush pink and her ears turn red. She actually said nothing, but Hailee acted like she was caught red-handed.

Of course, Madison watched her closely. So she knew Hailee was telling the truth.

However…

‘You may cover the eyes, but not the heart to forget.’

Madison quoted in her heart. Hailee forgot Vincent now, but her heart would always recognize him and have felt this strange beating that would warm her chest.

“Do you know that guy?” Madison tilted her head, her lips pointing at the man inside as she asked Hailee in a teasing tone.

Hailee vigorously shook her head and explained, “No. It’s the first time I’ve seen him… Look! We need to go now! I want to see Lady Isabella and thank her. Also, I want to eat the carrot cake Cassandra baked for me!”

At present, Madison snapped herself back to her senses. She met Hailee’s eyes, who were waiting for her response expectantly. Her gaze is profound, enveloping a mystery that they were hiding something.

After that incident, Spring arrived swiftly, and fate slowly unfolded. Still, Hailee and Vincent cross paths in Budapest, Hungary.

“Two large cups of lemonade and a box of lemon pie.”

Hailee looked up. The smile that was already planted on her lips broadened. “Hey, guys! You’re here early too!”

“Well, Madison and I took the opportunity for us to spend our honeymoon before the gathering.” It was Levi who replied to Hailee.

“Great!” Hailee quickly prepared the two large cups of lemonade and gave them to the couple.

Levi placed an envelope on the counter, and Hailee checked the content inside. Her eyes widened and choked with happiness.

“Thank you, guys.” She thanked the couple and wanted to hug them, but more customers waited in line.

Levi handed her a check with a considerable amount. It’s enough to cover the operation of the older woman’s grandson, who owns the stall she works at.

Madison and Levi hang out near the fountain and watch Hailee continue selling lemonades and lemon pies.

“Look at that guy. He looked prepared to come back here. However, he seems too timid to even open up his mouth.”

Madison looked at her husband and smirked. She uttered, “If you witness me splashing men with lemonade. What would you do?”

“Well… I won’t be scared off or get pissed, but I will remain brave in front of you.”

Madison raised a brow and said, “Well… Lord Levi Montfort was just too shameless, and some men weren’t.”

“Hey! Like you didn’t fall in love with my shamelessness!” Levi teases his wife.

Madison extended her arm, reached for her husband’s waist, and pinched him. “You do have a thick face.”

Levi laughed out loud. But then, he noticed Vincent was talking over his phone and later on, made a hurried step away, leaving the stall. They believe he did not really speak much to Hailee.

“What happened?”

“There must be something with that call,” Levi guessed. “I’ll send someone to investigate it.”

After one hour, Levi received the report.

“Well, it’s Shen’s family matter.”

Madison heaved a sigh filled with sadness because all they could do was just watch on the sideline as it is TIME KEEPER’s role in this world.

“Well, maybe it was the will of fate that these two would not unite yet.”

Levi looked at Madison with sympathy. Even he is sad to witness a tragic love story. So, he tried to comfort his wife.

“Well, if this is the ‘change of course’ we waited for, then I look forward to a better future waiting for us all, especially with Hailee and Vincent’s fate.”

“Yeah.” Madison concurred. “It would be an answered prayer of mine. Hailee doesn’t deserve to suffer, nor does Papa.”

It always pained them to witness the sad part of a love story. And if they do not intervene, this love story will become a tragedy.

Not only that, it’s the entire world will suffer when conflicts arise between the Alliance.

A year had passed, and Madison made quick strides toward Shun’s office. After three knocks, she entered the office.

“Papa, I received a report from our Eyes… Vincent is back in Budapest, and he is looking for Hailee.”

Shun stopped reading the document in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Madison, but he remained silent for a long time.

“Papa, it must be related to Vincent’s forced marriage.” As Shun did not speak yet, she explained further.

Shun’s eyes glint upon hearing it. He asked Madison, “Have you run a complete investigation?”

Madison nodded.

“Vincent doesn’t like that woman. I presumed Vincent was looking for Hailee to marry her instead. What are we going to do, Papa? Are we still preventing Vincent from meeting Hailee again?” Sadness flashed in her eyes as she asked this question.

“We have to, Madison. Is it next month when Vincent dies, right?”

“Yes, Papa. April 26, 2023, when Vincent died. It was also the day of Vincent and Hailee’s wedding. And Hailee plans to tell Vincent that she is pregnant with twins.”

In that timeline, Hailee keeps it a secret until the last minute, as she wants to give Vincent a big surprise at the reception. However, it is supposed to be a merry celebration. It only turned into a tragedy.

The wedding becomes a funeral.

“Alright. Cassandra and I are preparing to visit Cape Town to celebrate her birthday. I think it’s better to do our tour early. We will bring Hailee along with us and tour the entire continent.”

“But, Papa? How about Vincent’s marriage to that woman?” Madison stressed out as frustration lingered in her chest.

Shun and Levi looked at each other. Madison seemed about to cry.

“How about if we crash the wedding?” Levi grinned. Inwardly, he praised himself for his idea. “Isn’t it exciting?”

Although Levi suggested this, he has the main reason. Madison is pregnant with a twin. It worries him that it will harm his child when his wife is constantly in such emotion. She was too sensitive now with her mood swings.

While Shun shook his head, Madison instantly regained a good mood after hearing her husband’s idea. She was about to praise him when Shun answered.

“Why do we crash a wedding when we can just do some paperwork?”

“Are you saying that we will fake it?” Levi was dumbfounded at first, but he admitted it was more brilliant than he came up with. “Alright! Leave it to me!”

Levi followed Vincent’s movement around Europe while Madison joined Shun, Cassandra, and Hailee in Africa. Cassandra was eager to meet her friends, and Hailee could not contain her happiness that she had finally visited the land.

Hailee established her own business in the following years, with Madison’s guidance playing a big part.

Until…

“Papa, our men from P Country, reported that they spotted Hailee in Metro City!”

Shun, who was about to sign an important contract, paused and raised his head. He put back his pen on the stand and stood up from his swivel chair.

“Have you done a thorough investigation?”

Shun strode toward the crescent sofa and gestured to Madison to take the couch across from him.

“Yes, I did. It turns out Hailee keeps it a secret to the rest of her knights, even to Uncle Jacob.”

“Why does she have to hide this plan for everyone?” Shun queried with curiosity. Hailee had just called off her wedding a few months ago.” She knew she was in danger.”

“One of our members in the association, Senator Vasquez, confided that Hailee wanted to meet Vincent Shen while she is looking for Eva Lan’s husband.”

Shun furrowed his brow. “Why would she do that? She doesn’t romantically love Bryan, right?”

Madison replied, “According to the Vasquez family. Hailee wanted to expose Eva to her husband.”

“Is this her revenge?”

“I am uncertain, papa. After we intervened, so many things had happened.”

Shun fell into deep thoughts as he pondered what best to do now. He got up from the crescent sofa and strode toward the floor-ceiling window of his office. The scenery from the seventy-two floor of this hotel is spectacular. He always finds it fascinating as he has the perfect view of the central city.

“What are we going to do this time?” She asked curiously when Shun remained silent for a long time.

“Let her be….”

Shun made a casual reply that it made Madison drenched her face with the tears welling up from her eyes.

“Thank you, Papa!” She was genuinely delighted that they were no longer preventing Hailee from reuniting with Vincent.

After all, they were actual lovers in the very beginning.

“By the way, Papa. Eva has disappeared from New York. Vincent’s lawyer was outside. He wants to know what he is going to do now. Any orders?”

Although Vincent and Eva’s marriage is originally fake, however, they still have to make it look real on the surface. They will act like the divorce will go with the procedure.

“Tell him to continue handling the matters and report to Vincent. I will notify Matt if Eva is still working with Liam. He succeeds in stopping Hailee and Bryan’s wedding, which favored us.”

Shun turned around and gazed at Madison.

“It was about time for Vincent to prove that he was worthy to stand by Hailee’s side. Besides, we owed them big. It’s time to make it up with them. Also, that man would not make bold moves until he realized his true enemy.”

“It’s Vincent?” Madison figured out this.

“It’s Vincent’s fight in the first place….” Shun resonated.

That man would not come out because Hailee and Vincent weren’t together.

“From here on, we will no longer stop them from being together. Enough for playing hide and seek. But end this game soon.”
