His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 240 - Pregnancy Test

Vince went to the kitchen to bring the dishes to be washed. Good thing that Tom was also in the kitchen instructing the maids.

"Hey! Can I talk to you for a minute?" Vince asked Tom.

He nodded and brought him to his mini Bar Room. The place is spacious with a billiard table in the middle, two sofas on the corner, and a cocktail table with two couches facing each other.

"How was Hailey?" Tom asked.

Vince replied, "She\'s sleeping now."

"Hmm… Have you noticed there are changes she is showing lately?" Tom gives hints already. Somehow, he has an idea why Vincent wants to speak with him. His maid has told him already. Indeed, Hailey\'s behavior is unusual lately.

Vince stopped scanning the room. He looked at Tom and replied. "Yeah. Your older maid guessed it pretty quick. Hailey truly has a big appetite now, and she doesn\'t mind her balanced diet at all. So, to ask for some advice. I called mom, and she told me that she also suspects it."

"That she\'s pregnant, right?" Tom stated.

Vince nodded. "Hoping it was the case. By the way, which is the closest maternity clinic in here?"

"Hmm… I advised you to do the check-up in Dream City instead. It shouldn\'t be known to the public yet. You know..." he trailed his words which he knew Vincent understand already.

"Ah. You are right." Vince agreed to that.

The Davies family is known all over the world, and here in Australia; many knew who Hailee Davies was.

It will be the biggest gossip in history if someone releases a hot topic that Hailee Davies is pregnant before marriage. Well, they were in 2026 but still, Hailee\'s reputation is no ordinary at all.

Everything about her should be a secret, or the media and paparazzi will feast on this news. He must be careful in making a decision and let Hailey decide about it instead.

"Then… How about her favorite steak restaurant?" asked Vince after careful thought. He wants her to at least eat some meat and vegetable salad and fruits.

Vince is waiting for Hailey to wake up. Tom helped him with the address of the Steakhouse Hailey favorite to dine in.

He is combing the strands of hair that cover her face. She was sleeping like a baby. He can see how peaceful her expression is and calm her breathing.

It must be now she has not to worry about Liam.

Vince kissed her forehead. She moved a little after she felt a warm mouth brushing her skin.

"Did I wake you?" He asked after Hailey slowly opened her eyes.

"Hi. How long did I sleep?" she asked Vince. She still looked droopy.

"Um… over two hours, I guess," he replied while looking at his wristwatch.

"I see…"

"Are you hungry now?" asked Vince afterward.

She nodded and replied, "Yeah. I don\'t understand why I\'m often hungry now."

Thank god for it\'s not a worm. Vince thought, which he wasn\'t able to suppress his chuckle. Hailey glanced at him, confused.

"Are you laughing now because I\'m going to get fat soon?" she said, glaring at Vince. She honestly noticed her eating disorders lately, and she becomes afraid that she\'ll get fat soon. But she can\'t stop feeling too hungry all the time.

Vince didn\'t hold back any longer, and he let out a loud laugh. Hailey truly would gain weight soon. But it\'s not because she\'s getting fat but because of the life growing inside her.

"Don\'t worry. You have had a great appetite lately because you are not alone eating now," he said with a smile.

Hailey blinks. She\'s trying to process what Vince had said. "You\'re not saying I have worms in my stomach, are you?"

Vince couldn\'t hold it anymore; he was laughing on his stomach, rolling on the bed. Hailey was dumbfounded. Vince is making fun of her!? She sat up, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Humph! Don\'t you dare ask me to make love with you tonight and the next night?"

Vince dropped his jaw. Hailey is threatening him now! Wait… it\'s one of her mood swings. While Hailey was sleeping, he was busy browsing the internet to study the signs of a pregnant woman, including their behavior and changes, etc.

"Wifey… you misunderstand me. It wasn\'t laughing at you. I\'m laughing at myself because I\'m thinking the same thing as you at first, but…."

"See! You truly think that way!" Hailey snapped.

"That isn\'t the case!" Vince is trying his best to explain and clarify himself.

But she is only glaring at him. He reached for his temple and scratched it.

He must have convinced this girl!

"Wifey… What I am trying to say is, I was wrong at first. But now I have an idea why you have a great appetite lately."

"Really? And why is that?"

Vince smiled. Hailey looks too cute in her new mood. He\'s already used to her playful behavior. She was clingy and sweet. Now she\'s showing how annoyed she was to him.

"Wifey…. a possibility that someone is now growing inside you."

Hailey gave a thought to what Vince had said. After pondering for a moment, her eyes widened, and they are now twinkling with excitement.

"Hubby, are you saying that possibly? I…."

Vince nodded. He lowered his head to place a kiss on her lips; then, he got off the bed to get something.

When he came back, Hailey was surprised. She\'s thinking when did he buy them.

Seeing that she\'s surprised, he explained. "Tim and Pitt were out, driving around the neighborhood. Tom suggested asking those two to buy some of these on their way back."

Hailey couldn\'t imagine a day would come that her knight would have another important role. But it made her happy that Pitt was assigned to that task… to buy pregnancy test kits for her.

Hailey\'s hands were trembling from excitement when she took the three pregnancy tests in Vince\'s hand. She looked at Vince; she kissed him passionately before she went to the bathroom.

Outside the bathroom, Vince is pacing back and forth. He couldn\'t wait for Hailey to get out and see the result.

And when the bathroom door opened and Hailey stepped out, he couldn\'t breathe from excitement. Like him, she also looked tense and excited at the same time.

Vince followed Hailey to the bed. They both sat down, facing each other.

It\'s been minutes that have passed already. It means the result is already shown in the test kits. Earlier, he already read the instructions, and so he has the idea.

After a few more moments, Hailey placed the pregnancy test kits on the bed, but her hand remained to cover the results. She meets Vince\'s eyes. He also has anticipation about the results.

Hailey slowly withdraws her hand.

Together, they counted one, two, and three before both lowered their gazes at the three pregnancy test kits.

Vince screamed.

"YES!"
