His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 309 - Alex And Kelly (One)

Hailee sat up on the bed and called out for Vince. The guy was inside his walk-in closet, putting on his suit. He rushed to her side with a worried look on his face.

She extends her arms, clasping around Vince's neck, and plants a kiss on his lips. "Good morning, hubby."

"Morning, Wifey. How are you feeling?" he asked with worry in his voice.

Since Hailee often had nausea in the morning, he watched her closely every day to attend to her needs. Seeing her beautiful smile this morning eases the worries lingering in his heart.

"Where do you want to have breakfast?"

"In the garden. I want to chat with the girls," she replied coquettishly. But soon, she pouted at him, "Anyway, there is something you didn't share with me."

Vince smiles faintly. He truly felt a pang of guilt in his heart, and he would not deny what he did. He lifts his right hand and brushes her hair. He uttered, "I'm sorry. But Kelly is your best friend. Alex is afraid you will meddle in… So, he asked for my help, but I have to keep it from you."

Hailee pondered what Vince explained to her. She would not meddle if Alex persuaded Kelly. In fact, she will help Alex win Kelly's heart. But remembering all she did for Vince behind his back, she has no right to get angry.

Besides, Alex wanted to woo her best friend with his own charm. She understood it was the case. Kelly's attitude is more snobbish than hers. She is bland and straightforward to men. That is why she and Pitt are never on the same page but constantly bickering when you place them in one room.

Hailee had realized this. She thought they would be like enemies turn lovers. Their personalities are always clashing as they truly treat each other as pure enemies.

When she was heartbroken, Pitt and Kelly were there to comfort her. She thought there was progress, but now, those two didn't have a crush on each other.

Well, if Kelly ends up marrying Alex. She would be the happiest best friend and cousin in the world. Kelly would become the Queen of Fen Country. She would support them.

Meanwhile, Vince was waiting for Hailee's anger to blow up. What he sees instead is her sweet smile. Vince sighs with relief to know that she is not angry at him.

They promised to hide nothing from each other, but he was trying to impress her cousins, which is why he kept it from Hailee.

Vince leans over and kisses Hailee's forehead. He made a promise. "Next time, I will ask for your backing if one of your cousins or friends asks for my help."

"Promise?" Hailee mouthed while looking up at Vince. She remains seated on the bed while Vince stands next to the bed.

"I promised." Vince raises his right hand to seal their covenant.

"Alright! I'll take a shower. I'll be quick!" After she said this, Hailee headed to the bathroom.

"You want me to help you batch?" Vince followed Hailee, peeping at the door. His eyes were burning upon watching Hailee stripped in front of him. Her baby bump is now visible. Nevertheless, Hailee remains desirable. However, he has to suppress his needs.

Vince went back to the closet to get a tie and put it around his collar. When Hailee finished washing, he helped wipe the water in her body and applied a body moisturizer.

Next, he gets a hairdryer and begins blow-drying Hailee's hair.

Hand in hand, they emerge from the indoor pool area where everyone is having breakfast. Hailee had a massive smile on her face the entire time of the meal.

There is no doubt in her heart that Metro City is her other home. She was delighted to share breakfast with her in-laws and her new family; then, her friends were also here.

After breakfast, the three younger girls head to the university. Since her driver picked up Hazel, Liza joined her, but Nadia was with Pitt to visit his unit.

Hailee was itching to chat with Nadia or Hazel and Liza, as she knew these girls had gossip for her. However, she has to wait for a perfect time. And so, it was Kelly who she bombarded with questions after they arrived at the greenhouse.

"So?" Hailee had a teasing smile on her lips. Her eyes twinkled, and her ears were almost flapping with excitement.

However, Kelly only rolled her eyes as a way of dodging her question. But she knew Hailee wouldn't let her go until she would share nothing.

*

It was the day when Hailee's European knights arrived in Perth City. She was taking a shower in the guest room in the left-wing of the mansion.

The room faced the ocean and had a beautiful balcony view of the east direction.

She came out of the bathroom, confident that she was alone in the room. While she was putting on her clothes, the door in her room opened, and a man walked in.

She screamed in shock, and the man also was stunned to see her inside the room. It was clear from his expression that he didn't expect someone to occupy the guest room.

Soon, Kelly recognized the man.

"Alexander?"

Alex unconsciously scanned her from the head down to her toe. She was only wearing her underwear. Even though she is used to wearing two pieces on the beach, her hands unconsciously cover her body.

The shock messed up her head, and she forgot her temperament for a few seconds. After she recovered, her glib tongue was back.

"Can't you knock? And why are you still standing there? Get out!"

However, Alex only raises an eyebrow. He met her glare and replied, "Why would I knock in my bedroom?"

Kelly was dumbfounded for a moment, then recovered. This time, she already wrapped her body with a bath towel.

"Your bedroom? This is a guest room! Anyone can stay here!" she roared at him.

Alex frowned. He reasoned afterward, "I always stayed in this room if I came for a vacation."

Kelly could not believe it. She scoffed and said, "But I came in first! You can leave now!"

This guy is not a gentleman at all! Instead of leaving quickly after seeing an almost naked woman getting dressed, he stayed and even leisurely scanned her body once in a while! She was too irritated.

Kelly walked toward Alex and pushed him out of the door. She was really pissed off.

Gladly, Alex did not protest and stepped out of the door. Kelly slammed the door shut and locked it. She marched back to the closet and picked up a pair of jeans and a knitted cami top. Her top complimented her thin waistline.

Kelly was combing her hair when someone knocked on the door. She got up from the stool to open the door, but her eyes caught a suitcase.

She blinks her eyes. The person knocking on the door must be Alex, as he forgot to bring his suitcase.

Kelly opened the door and prepared to yell at the guy. But all the words she wanted to say remained hanging at the tip of her tongue when the person in front of her door was Gigi.

"Why are you hiding here? George is here!"

Kelly's eyes lit up. When she and Hailee studied in Paris, George often visited them. Or, they who will sail toward England to spend holidays or the weekend breaks.

George is such a gentleman, too different from Alex.

Now that she learned George was here. Kelly went back to the dresser and applied light makeup and red lipstick. When they arrived at the pool area, she immediately looked around to find George.

"Kelly!"

A huge smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Hi, George!" She met the guy halfway, and they exchanged hugs. "Long time no see!"

"Yeah."

George also has a big smile on his lips. The two of them chatted for a while. Later on, she began greeting the other knights, and she ended up drinking champagne with Mitchel and Giovanni, a noble from Italy.

The entire time she was chatting with Mitchel with the other knights, she could feel someone keep staring at her. When she looked up, it was Alex.

She immediately takes back her gaze and ignores him all night. When the men move to the yachts, Kelly escapes from the crowd and heads to her bedroom.

She has a low tolerance for alcohol, and so she could not walk properly. She's holding tight to the railings upon climbing the stairs.

Kelly sighs with relief when she arrives in the guest room. She shook her head to clear her mind. She walks to the bathroom and starts stripping her clothes off to wash. She could smell her body reek with alcohol, and she could not fall asleep feeling sweat all over her body.

But she sobered up after realizing that someone occupied the shower room. Kelly's eyes widened upon distinguishing the man from coming out of the shower room.

Alex was shocked to see the naked woman standing in front of the shower room. It was like her feet nailed on the floor.

After she recovered from the shock, her gaze traveled to the naked man in front of her; she screamed.

Kelly covered her face then squatted on the floor to hide her nakedness. She buried her head on her knees and kept yelling. "Pervert!"

Alex rushes outside to give Kelly privacy. He cursed inwardly. But it was not his fault! He only took a quick shower to freshen up. Everywhere is crowded. There is no vacant room as the other men occupy it.

He didn't expect that Kelly would come back and went straight to the bathroom to wash. He knew that Kelly's anger worsened now.

And Alex is right. Kelly was staring at him fiercely. She seemed prepared to murder him.

"Why are you still here!" she roared at him, clenching her teeth from anger. "You've seen enough! Now get out!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…" Alex found it difficult to explain. Initially, he wanted to give a good impression to Kelly. But he keeps messing up. "I only borrowed your bathroom for a short time…."

Kelly is not interested to hear him anymore. She lifted her arm and pointed to the door, "Scram!"

Alex pursed his lips. He scratches his head. Suddenly, he looks pitiful. "There is no more available room. So… Can I share a room with you?"

Kelly explodes in anger.

"You pervert! Shameless!"
