The Bullied Husband’s Club - Chapter 179

Victoria and Kenzo arrived at the hospital with lots of shopping bags and snacks for everyone. Even the bodyguards were charmed by Victoria for being kind and compassionate. They never saw her get angry because she’s composed most of the time.

“This is good,” Caleb mumbled and sipped on the cold fruit tea. “Thanks, Vi.” He said. Currently, Kaisley’s handmaiden was preparing their clothes before they leave later on.

“You guys seemed to enjoy the shopping, huh,” Kaisley said with a big smile.

“She got excited on the stationary part,” Kenzo said that made Kaisley pouted.

“Oh, damn.” Kaisley sighed. “Well, I’ll just do my stationery shopping online.”

“I have bought so much you can pick anything you like.”

Kaisley waved off.

“We are leaving anyway. I have to take care of this big boy too.”

After they had a snack, Kenzo escorted them to the helipad of the hospital. He already confirmed to the pilot and people inside there that they should be safe. If anything bad happens to them, Kenzo will not forgive himself. He was the one preparing for their security and there should be no flaws again. He clenched his fist while watching the chopper leave.

“Are you alright?” Victoria asked.

“Yes, let’s go back to the hotel.” He patted her head as he shifted his arm to wrap it around her. “I want to cuddle with you.” He whispered.

When they get to the hotel, Victoria thinks that he will relax with her but he’s still busy seeing the tracker that Caleb had. He sat down and waited until he received that they landed in the Palace where King Edgar and Prince Philip were waiting. Kaisley called them through a video call to claim that they are safe and alive. This is the report that Kenzo needed.

“Love?” Victoria called while giving the new sets of clothes to the maids.

She then went to their walk-in closet to prepare their sleeping clothes. Seeing his relaxed reaction made her competent that Caleb and Kaisley landed in the Palace. It’s time for them to relax too, so she ready the bathtub with hot water and essential oils. She went back to the bed to find him lighting candles and lotion. He smiled at her, striding toward her, and scooped her face.

“Are you tired, love?”

“Not at all.” She smiled and hugged him.

“Don’t worry. This time, I will take care of you.”

“How long has it been since we last had sex?” She asked and rubbed his chest.

“Hmm, is it three days or a week now?” He rubbed her sides.

“I don’t remember.” She giggled. “Let’s have dinner first? The tub is too hot so dinner would be better before the bath.”

“You are right.” He said, sounding seductive.

They went out of their room and went to the dining area just in the main entrance of the penthouse. Then, the maids set up their meal by the window. The couple eats as usual and talks about the gift that they should give to Katarina and Jason. But she bet that the wedding might not happen. However, Kenzo bet that it might happen.

“I’ll go with my erotic collection.” She winked at him.

“Do you even have that~~” Kenzo stopped as he remembered that back in their little house, she has indeed erotic collections of novels. “Babe, stop teasing me.” He grinned at her as the couple went back to their room and started undressing.

“I’m not kidding.” She giggled. “How about I’ll give you our house. Since it’s under my name~~”

“Deal.” He said. “Then, I’ll give you another villa by the beach.”

Her eyes widened and she nodded vigorously.

“You liked it?” he asked and fondled her cheeks down to her breasts. “Baby, we don’t have to bet. But since it’s fun,” He stepped closer and kissed her lips passionately. “We will go with your rules.”

“I am sure that they won’t get married.” She smirked at him as her hand erotically caressed his naked front. “Katarina will know well about that asshole’s infidelity.”

“Hmm,” he smacked her neck. “How about Katarina?”

“I am sure that she’s letting him… but,” she moaned when his hand fondled her lower part. “Let’s just get into the tub.” She giggled.

It was already dark. Vince has to go back to his penthouse in the city of Westeria near the royal palace. He makes lots of ways to avoid cameras and change vehicles multiple times. He’s safe, but it’ll take a while again before he visits his beloved Eloiza. This time, he gave her a second chance. He just doesn’t know if his father would let him marry her or might arrange someone else for him.

He stopped by a restaurant to have his dinner but he didn’t expect to see the daughter of Marquess Astera. She was eating alone with many dishes in front of her. He’s surprised that a girl with a slender body with a little curvy body could eat a lot. He takes the vacant seat two tables away from hers. She seemed to be eating to her heart’s content without caring about others. He also noticed that she has two bodyguards who are at separate tables just on each side of her.

The waiter approached him and gave him the menu.

“I’ll have champagne, please for my appetizer. I’ll tell the rest for my dinner.”

He couldn’t help but glance at Lady Harriet with such stunning beauty. Everyone who would glance at her would always turn their heads and watch her beauty for long. Every bachelor was always eying the Marquess’s daughter. But the Marquess was strict toward his daughter. He declines to arrange a marriage for her. He heard that even her stepmother would only let her daughter choose someone to marry.

“Lady Harriet, I don’t think that you can finish all of those.” A man approached and he recognized him as the Captain of the Red Bull. Red Bull are agents in the Marquess Astera’s Castle. They are also a reserved army in case of war.

The waiter approached Vince with the wine and poured him.

“I would like the main menu today,” Vince told him.

“Yes, sir. Would you like to add something else?”

“Caesar salad.”

The waiter bowed his head and left. He watched as the Captain of Red Bull interacted with the Lady.

“If I don’t finish this, you are going to eat all of my leftovers.”

“Oh, that’s very harsh of you. But thank you.” The man said formally. Somehow, Harriet caught his eyes and she waved at him. He never saw someone acting childish normally. He stood as he approached Lady Harriet. He placed his hand over his chest and bowed.

“My Lady, how do you do?” He asked.

“Lord Vince, I am perfectly fine. How are you?” She asked and the Captain bowed to him. Harriet extended her hand probably for a handshake, but as a gentleman, he bent down and kissed her hand.

“Everything is well, milady. Please, enjoy your meal.”

Harriet smiled beautifully and nodded. Then, Vince bowed his head to the Captain and went back to his seat.

Vince sat down gracefully. With elegance like Lady Harriet even though she was eating to her heart’s content, every man could fall for that. He watched as the Captain sat with the Lady and only chatted with her while she’s eating.

“An exquisite lady…” Vince mumbled. Although he loves Eloiza, Lady Harriet’s status, beauty, attitude, and intelligence are impeccable. Lady Harriet is an ideal woman to marry.

Now, he’s left dazed if he should continue his relationship with Lady Eloiza. And for the sake of their family, he would pursue Lady Harriet since Eloiza became a convict. It’s such a messy situation for Vince and he doesn’t know what to choose. His meal arrived and he started eating. He was busy chewing his steak when Lady Harriet laughed as she sipped on her wine while laughing with the Captain of Red Bull.

“Where is Hardin anyway?” She asked. “Don’t tell me that he’s busy in someone’s legs?”

“Milady, you are very straightforward. Don’t let your father catch you talking like that.”

“I won’t.” She giggled and it’s the first time that Vince was caught up with a simple giggle. It was so alluring that he couldn’t help but to watch every one of her moves. His phone rang. He quickly answered it.

“Yes, father?” He asked and cleared his throat.

“Where are you? We need to talk.”

“I’m in a restaurant, near my penthouse.”

“I’m in the same city, I’ll meet you there.” His father hung up.

He quickly finished his food, paid for his meal, and left. At the time that he reached his penthouse, his father arrived as well and then he let him in with his male secretary.

He stood in front of his father as Geralt sat down and crossed his legs.

“I want you to find someone suitable as your wife, Vince.” He said. “Try to court the little lady of Astera. The Marquess family had a lot of big business that was established in every Etrama building. She’s overqualified to be your wife… but it’s the only way.”

“It’s hard, father. Lady Harriet was a friend of brother and Duke Kenzo… I don’t think that they would agree to the setup.”

“Woo her. It’s one way.”

Vince hesitated but he still loved Eloiza but Lady Harriet is ideal and he can fall in love with her.. Any man will fall in love.
