A Marriage Contract

Chapter 16

Eliza's POV-

"Samchon, are you all going to business meetings wearing those suits?" Lily asked disapprovingly.

"How come you call only us out? Your beloved Appa is also wearing a suit." Miles said.

"Appa is always boring." Lily waved her hand dismissingly. I coughed to cover up my laugh. Miles gave Lily a high five and so did Archer.

"Ye On is the only one loves me in this house." Vincent said in a sad tone.

"I LOVE YOU APPA!" Lily screamed and hugged Vincent. She hardly even reached his waist.

"I love you too, princess." Vincent said, his face morphed into a big smile. The only time I have ever seen him smile is when he is with the kids. That's why his smiles are so precious because you rarely get to see them but when you do they are beautiful.

"Shall we leave?" Miles asked.

"Let's go to my birthday party!" Lily shouted.

"Me, Archer and Miles will come in my car. You guys go in Vincent's." Roman said.

"Okay." I said. Vincent carried Ye On and I held Lily's hand as we went down to the garage. It was a separate space from the house, it was underground two story garage. Recently I had discovered that Vincent had an obsession of cars. His garage was filled with over 50 cars, from vintage to the latest models.

"Which one should we go in, Yu Eun?" Vincent asked.

"A car that is matching with my dress." Lily said.

Vincent chuckled and started walking towards the other end of the garage. We stopped in front of a midnight blue Mercedes Benz EQB and true to Lily's request it matched her dress. Living with rich people has introduced me to many bizarre concepts like choosing from different cars. When I was kid my parents had a silver Honda Accord for our family of four we used it for fifteen years until the car finally was outdated and we bought a new car.

"Yu Eun," Vincent said, "You and Ye On sit in the back seat. Eliza sit ahead with me." I nodded.

"Lily, come on, let's get you buckled up." I said.

She sat in the backside, her dress pooled around her in a puff. Vincent got Jameson buckled up in his baby seat simultaneously. As I went to my seat, Vincent walked in strides around the car to my door. I opened the door of the passenger seat and got in when I looked up I saw Vincent's hand on the roof of the door at first I was confused then I realized it was to secure my head from bumping.

That was awfully sweet and thoughtful of him.

He closed the door without a word and walked to the other side and got in. He turned the ignition on and the car silently came to life. The whole interior of the car was lit up in blue luminescent light. It was completely black from the inside. It was spacious and luxurious from inside.

I had never been inside a car like this in my life. Jenna owned a Range Rover Evoque and that was the closest I had ever gone to a luxury car. But this car was completely different from hers.

"Appa, play some music." Lily said. Vincent tapped some buttons on the fancy screen in front of us and music started playing from the speakers.

Vincent started driving and when he changed gears the back of his hand slightly brushed against my leg. That one touch made me feel sparks in my whole body even though the touch went unnoticed by him.

It took us about 15 minutes to get to the hotel, the whole time Lily kept on talking about how excited she was to meet her friends. When we stopped in front the hotel Vincent gave the keys to the valet and we go the kids out. A man in a black suit with a white shirt, presumably the manager of the hotel, walked to us and he greeted Vincent.
