Chapter 241 - The Wonderful News

Vince couldn't help but cry out loud. He scooped Hailey from the bed and twirled around.

Hailey was laughing at what he did, but at the same time, she's also crying with so much joy in her heart. There is no room for the happiness she feels at the moment.

She and Vince have an overwhelming emotion deep down in their hearts. To build a family is what they both dream….

And she wanted to share this news with her dad. However, it isn't the right time yet.

"I'm really so happy right now, Wifey! Thank you," said Vince to her before he covered her mouth and kissed her deeply.

"I love you..." he then whispered after he parted his lips from hers.

"I love you too, Vince."

Pitt and Tim were lounging comfortably with a bottle of beer in their hands in the living room. Both share a look when they hear Vince cry out suddenly. And he could tell how happy he was.

Pitt and Tim need not guess. The couple already has used the pregnancy test kits they bought earlier, and now the result was positive.

They both were glad to know how the couple was this happy. The struggle to buy those test kits had paid off.

Earlier, while driving around the neighborhood, Pitt received a call from Tom.

"What? How dare you ask me to buy that? Why don't you buy one yourself if you suspect Gigi is pregnant?"

"Of course, I would love to buy one myself. But the case is, you are already outside. Why can't you drop by the pharmacy and buy two or three test kits?"

"Why would I!?" he blurted out.

Tom answered, "It's the princess."

"What!?" Pitt suddenly stepped on the brake. Tim almost shoved his face on the dashboard with what he did. "Can you repeat that, Tom? The princess is pregnant?"

"We need to confirm that, the reason you need to buy those test kits. Vincent is here on my side. Now tell his assistant to buy some of it in an instant!"

The phone was on speaker-on; Tim heard the conversation. Pitt admires how dedicated Tim is to his boss. He urges Pitt instantly to drive him toward a pharmacy and buy it himself.

Driving around for a while, they finally found a pharmacy, and they sigh with relief when it has only a few customers.

Inside the store, Tim and Pitt are casually strolling around. They picked up another item before heading to the shelves, displaying all the pregnancy test kits.

However, Tim and Pitt saw different brands and the boxes even in different colors. They were confused about which one to buy.

Standing in front of those shelves for a long time already, two pharmacy sales assistants wondered why they weren't moving from that section yet. It was the female sales assistant who approached them to offer help.

"Hello, sir. My name is Bea. How can I assist you?"

Tim and Pitt shared a glance. Both did not know how to explain their situation. Studying their faces, the sales assistant could understand their trouble. So then, she began her sales talk in the next moment.

She explained the differences between the test kits. Although they understand nothing, Pitt and Tim keep nodding their heads. According to the sales assistant, pregnancy test kits show the result in just a minute, and some are three to five minutes.

"Who is going to try them?"

With the sales assistant's question. Pitt and Tim pondered how to answer that. After giving a brief thought, both answer simultaneously.

"It's my sister!" said Pitt.

On the other hand, Tim answered differently. "It's my boss's girlfriend."

Then they shared a glance, and both concurred at once. "Yeah."

The sales assistant smiled. Their answer is relevant. She could tell that it was their first time to face this kind of situation, which is why they look nervous and lost.

After a long period of careful thought about which one they must buy, Pitt and Tim choose to buy three different pregnancy test kits.

"Thank you, sir! Please, come back again if you need anything from our pharmacy."

"Okay. Thank you," said Pitt, showing his beautiful white teeth.

The sales assistant blushed, then squealed when they were gone.

Tim, who only followed Pitt around, witnesses how intimidating this guy was to the people surrounding him. There is no surprise he is a Mafia Lord and one of the best knights to Miss Hailey.

And while they were strolling around, the best part he could recall is when they were in the pharmacy, and a group of teenagers approached them.

"Hi! Are you a K-pop idol!?"

These teenage girls had those sparks in their eyes while they asked Pitt. And Tim, who was on the sideline, couldn't stop laughing when these girls wanted an autograph from Pitt.

"Stop laughing, Timothy Cheng! Why didn't you help me get rid of those girls?" Pitt scowled. They were on their way back to the villa, and Tim continued laughing till now.

"Mr. Cha, those girls mistook me as your bodyguard. That was brutal. You were the one who is the bodyguard here! But they think you are a celebrity!"

Pitt raised a brow, throwing a glance at him. He said, "I am a celebrity."

Tim has rendered speechless. He could not counter that one. It was like an arrow shot straight at his ego as a man.

Anyway, to think it over, Pitt can compare to those celebrities. He was tall, handsome indeed, with beautiful skin. He has looks and money.

However, his popularity could not compare to the public but the Mafia Association, the underground world. Lord Brent Morris, a cousin of Mr. Tom Morris, said Pitt is a respectable lord in the Mafia Association.

Tim snapped himself back to the present. He looked up after two pairs of footsteps coming down the stairs. Looking at the couple making careful steps, he sees how happy his boss is.

The way he is holding his girlfriend is like she is the most precious crystal in the world. He need not guess, for his boss, she is the most valuable gem in the world.

"Pitt!" Hailey ran toward where he was seated to hug him.

"The way you look so happy, I would assume that the result is positive." He commented, stroking Hailey's hair gently even as Vincent was in front of them.

"Yes! You will become an uncle now!" She happily shared this news.

On the one hand, Pitt sighs inwardly. Now, this girl made him emotional. She just knew how to melt his heart. And so, he completely gave up.

"Congratulations, Princess," Pitt said wholeheartedly.

"Thank you, Pitt!"

Not long, Gigi joined them in the living room after she heard the wonderful news from Tom.

"Hail, congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you, Gigi. You'll become a godmother, soon!" she told Gigi with excitement.

Hailey didn't know how many weeks she's pregnant, but she could not stop herself from looking forward to this child to see the world and meet all the people who love his/her mummy.

That's right! She couldn't wait for someone to call her mama. It's been so long already since the last time she remembered what kind of face her mom showed to her every time she called out for her.

Her mom always had that loving smile on her face and warm arms wrapping around her.

Now that she remembered her mom, she cannot stop her eyes from welling up with fresh tears. Gigi hugged her tight.

"You'll be a great mom like Aunt Marly," said Gigi. She somehow guessed what she was thinking at the moment. She then asked, "When would you tell your dad?"

"I want to tell him as soon as possible. I'm thinking of making a phone call later to set a meeting tomorrow. Vince and I will go home to the mansion tomorrow morning."

"Good luck, Hail! Uncle Jacob loves you so much. I know he'll understand."

"Thank you, Gigi."

That noon, Hailey and Vince went to a steakhouse alone. Tom and Gigi left Sydney for Melbourne, while Pitt stayed behind to accompany Tim, who had documents to take care of and a few meetings to attend online.

Suppose his boss should work on this, but as he is the Great Assistant, he considers his boss to slack off today since he is celebrating good news. Besides, he looks forward to his bonus this month. He has to save up as well for his plans in the future. Maybe he'll be the next one to chime the church bells? Who knows?

The couple deserves to go on a date where no one can spoil their beautiful day.

GLIMPSE in NEXT CHAPTER:

In the restaurant. Ray went to his office to get his cellphone. He dialed a particular phone number, patiently waiting for the person to pick up his call.

"Hello?"

"Bryan! Where are you?" asked Ray.

"At home… Why?" Bryan asked his friend timidly. He was still in a foul mood because of Eva.

"Do you know that Miss Hailee is in Sydney?"

On the other line, Bryan was surprised. "What did you say, Ray? Are you sure about that?"

Why didn't Hailey contact him? Bryan asked himself. Then he pondered. Maybe Hailey actually did. Is this why Eva destroyed his phone?

Bryan tightened his jaw and clenched his palm. 'That woman!'

"Ray, where did you see Hailee?" He then queried.

"She's in my restaurant. Are you coming? She's actually with someone. Do you know that she already has a boyfriend?"
