His Contractual Mistress

Jacob nodded and smiled. He already grew fond of these girls even before he met them. After Hailee shared her life in P Country, he instantly wanted to meet her friends here. The way his daughter's eyes spark every time she mentions these girls, he could tell how precious they were to her. And so, he will do everything for these girls as he knows it will be his daughter's happiness. 

Well, the girls didn't know what was on his mind, but they thought highly fo him and thought he was such a cool dad. 

Not long,

"Dad! I'm sorry, I wasn't able to pick you up at the airport." 

Walking in a hurried step, Vincent instantly apologized to his in-laws. He shook hands with them, then placed his arm around Hailee's waist, then kissed her. 

Jacob smiled and said, "It's alright, son. I know you are busy turning over the management of your company." 

He actually gave him a big responsibility. Picking him up at the airport is unnecessary at all. Jacob patted Vincent's and coaxed him. 

"By the way, dad. I want to introduce my cousins." Vincent glanced at the four men behind him. They took the initiative, and one by one, introduced themself. 

"Hello, sir. Zaijan Lopez... Welcome to Metro City Garden." 

Jacob took Zaijan's hand and shook. "Thank you, Chairman Lopez. It was great to be here." 

He is actually a little familiar with Zaijan Lopez. They both attended several tycoons and business conferences, and they may not associate with each other. However, both showed respect despite the age gap and the length of time they were doing business. 

Meanwhile, Zaijan was surprised that Jacob had already heard that he was the new chairman of Metro City Group of Companies. But as Keith, Hansen, and Pitt are Hailee's knights, it is small information for someone like Jacob Davies. 

"Tyler Lopez, Director of Lopez Steel Corporation… It was an honor to meet you, Chairman Davies." 

Jacob smiles at Tyler and accepts his hand. 

"The honor is mine. I saw the sample materials you will provide for La Merveille Tower. It was high-quality materials, and so, I am satisfied. I'm happy that Vincent has reliable cousins he worked with. He mentioned to me that you are all like his real brothers, and he trusted you all. And so, I am at ease to hand over the company to Vincent." 

"Sir?" 

"I'll be retiring soon," Jacob told Vincent's cousin, then he explained, "After my daughter gives birth several months from now and has enough rest, she will take my chair after then." 

"Oh. Mr. Jacob has other plans?" asked Tyler. 

Before Jacob replied, he glanced at Rodney Lopez. Of course, they know each other through the Underground World. 

"Yes," he replied after a brief pause. 

Tyler did not need to expect that Jacob would elaborate on his answer. The moment Jacob looked at Rodney, he instantly understood. 

"Welcome to P Country, Mr. Davies." 

"Thank you, Mr. Lopez." Jacob accepts the hand Rodney extended toward him. They shook hands and exchanged a few words. 

"Just call me, Rodney, sir." 

"Alright. Rodney." Jacob nodded and smiled. 

Then, another cousin of Vincent stepped forward and introduced himself. "Rick Lopez, Director of Lopez Tech, sir… A pleasure to meet you, sir." 

"Pleasure to meet you, too, Mr. Rick." 

"Then, let us have lunch," Vincent announced after his cousins finished introducing themselves not only toward his father-in-law but the rest of Hailee's family. He looked at Hailee and asked her, "What lunch would you like?" 

"I want curry and chicken macaroni salad with lots of mayo," she replied gleefully. Shortly, she added other dishes. 

"Alright. Then, let's go to a Chinese restaurant." Vince nodded; he turned his head to the others. "If dad and grandpa prefer other dishes, all the restaurants in the mall are open to serve you." 

"It's alright. I would love to have Chinese cuisine." Jacob replied. 

"I'm fine with it too." Allen agreed to the food his granddaughter had a craving. 

Andre chimed in, "I'm okay with that, too. Fried chicken flavored with spicy garlic is best." 

"Then?" Vincent looked around to know if everyone wanted Chinese food for lunch. 

"How about you girls?" Hailee took the initiative to ask the three girls when she noticed them whispering in the corner. 

"Um… Can we eat Italian cuisine, Hail?" Hazel whispered at her. 

Hailee pursed her lips into a smile; she replied, "Of course! You guys can dine at any of these restaurants, and you don't have to mine. It was free." 

"Okay, Hail! Mr. Shen is the best!" Hazel tried to lower her voice as much as she could. 

Hailee giggled then whispered to Hazel, "It's mom Hilda's idea." 

"Oh… Madam Shen is the best!" 

Honestly, Hilda actually could hear them, but she pretended to hear nothing but continued talking to the organizers of her birthday party in a low voice. 

After they had lunch, Jacob strolled the mall with Hailee. While walking around, Jacob took his daughter's hand and said, "I just realized that we haven't gone shopping anymore." 

Hailee rested her head on her dad's shoulder and replied, "It was because we both were busy with our own companies. Besides, most of our clothes are handmade. And so, we need not go shopping most of the time." Unless she was visiting Paris or Italy, she bought a lot of clothes from the brand stores. 

That night, Hailee had a massive smile while she cuddled Vincent. 

"You were happy…." Vincent lowered his head and kissed her hair, and he felt Hailee's head nodding in response. 

"I'll be meeting all of your relatives. But what I am happy about is that my family was here too." And she was delighted because finally, she had a big family. She will have hundreds of in-laws soon after marrying Vincent. 

"I am so blessed, hubby," Hailee said from the bottom of her heart.

"I am so blessed, as well. I love you, Hailee Davies." 

"I love you too, Vincent Shen…." 

Vincent lowered his head and kissed Hailee passionately. 

The following day… Finally, it was the most awaited birthday party of Hailee Davies' mother-in-law, Madam Hilda Lopez Shen…
