HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 37:He Was Ignored

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Vince repeated his question.

Fred suddenly turned timid in front of his son, and it's because of his bastard nephew, Carl. He coughs to clear his throat; he replied Vince. "I have some business needed to take care of around here. I asked Carl to accompany me. Then we stop by at your penthouse to check out the place. We might stay there once in a while."

"I see. Carl mentioned it to me. Anyway, I'm glad that I've seen you this evening. Please, watch my yacht if Carl uses it. I will only let him borrow it if you go fishing with him," Vince's rendered a request from his father.

And hearing this, Carl dropped his jaw to the ground; he was in disbelief that Vince would punish him like this. He wanted to protest, but Hailey was there. All he could do is accept the humiliation that he is receiving from Vince.

If he has predicted, this is what will happen. He should not trick his uncle into intruding on Vince dating Hailey this evening.

But it was only an accident he heard that Vince ordered the restaurant to prepare dinner on his yacht. The luxurious penthouse has five different restaurants exclusive to the Two Towers Garden residents, where Vince is a co-owner of these restaurants.

"Well, then... There is more food on the yacht. You both enjoy the night."

"Wait, cousin. The night is still young. Why are you in a hurry? It could be..."

Meaningful smirk playing on his mouth, both Vince and Fred glared at Carl, while Hailey also understood Carl's tease, now blushing pink.

Sometimes, Fred doesn't like how Carl's jests go overboard as he is invading privacy. Although, he is not happy that Vince has a mistress. There are circumstances it's none of their business to mention or discuss.

Tightening his jaw and throwing sharp glares, Vince snapped at Carl. "We have to drop by at M City Market before heading home."

Even though Vince's irritated tone is obvious, Carl did not stop teasing him.

"Seriously?" Disbelief was displayed in his eyes, scanning both Vince and Hailey's outfits. "Are you guys going to the wet market wearing clothes like that?"

"What's wrong? Does the wet market have a dress code, which allowed shopping and which aren't? Could I not buy a fish in a wet market wearing an Armani handmade suit and Louis Vuitton leather shoes?"

Upon hearing this, Carl burst out laughing, while Hailey suppressed from giggling. She thinks Vince is too cute tonight.

After a while, Carl shut his mouth and explain.

"Ahem! That is not my point, cousin. It was..."

Carl glanced at Hailey, who was now wearing Vince's coat. Honestly, his eyes popping out to see the beautiful girl clutching on to Vince's arm. Her clothes are darn sexy, but it does not look vulgar.

The woman who wears it carries herself with elegance. That is why sometimes he is too intrigued to know her background. She's too mysterious in his eyes. Her presence seemed so deadly that he could feel she was trying to conceal it.

Before leaving, Vince informed his father. "Dad, I might talk to you one of these days."

Nodding, Fred smiled awkwardly at Vince. "Alright. Just ring me."

"Okay, dad. We're going ahead first."

Upon Vince saying this, Hailey partly bowed at Fred Shen and her professor Carl Johnson. The older man nodded while Carl salutes.

Fred watched Vince and Hailey entering the car. His son carefully assists his girlfriend, settling in his car before walking toward the driver's seat.

Fred discerns. His entire life is mostly about work. He could not remember if he was this intimate with Hilda in the past. Both he and Hilda were busy and had many things to take care of as individuals. They may attend events and parties together, but most of the time, they were talking to different people regarding business and politics.
