色戒 电影完整版

"Gigi, am I still allowed to act like a little child?"

Gigi smiled and nodded. "I think as long as with the right people who know us very well, as there will be only little possibilities, they will judge us. There's no wrong to be clingy to our loved ones, and I permitted you to act in front of me. I am the apple of my parent's eyes. I am a spoiled princess as you are… But after they were murdered, I was on my own, and even Galvin attempted to win my heart. However, he only disgusted me. He will never teach my heart to love him. Over time, my hatred grew. I felt nauseous to remember him and…."

Hailee stopped Gigi when her voice cracked because of the emotion building up in her chest. Hailee apologizes to her.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been brought up…." She felt guilty that she triggered sad memories. But Gigi shook her head and cut her explanation.

"It's okay. I buried it already and forgot about my past. I actually felt ironic when I recalled it because I never thought I could find my true love." Gigi paused as she curled her lips into a smile.

"Tom pampered me and dotted me. In fact, I am acting childishly between us because I am still scared that something in my past will continue to haunt me. However, Tom never showed he was tired of understanding me. So I prayed he would never change. Instead, I am the one who should change for the better. I should stop thinking negatively and do not doubt Tom's love for me. I need to teach myself to trust him entirely and should never have to ignore the person who loves me unconditionally."

Hailee grasps Gigi's hand and squeezes it gently. She was truly happy for her two friends to find each other and fall in love.

She was glad that Tom accepted Gigi's past and that Gigi allowed herself to have a new life in the name of love.

"Like Vincent, he loves me; it's not because of my wealth, but he is already in love with me as a stranger. I always remind myself to act like a complete adult, but sometimes I lose it. I should remain firm and train myself to act mature. However, I often lose my cool when it comes to Vincent." Hailee said with honesty.

Listening on the sideline, Doctor Manni has actually admired these two girls. So, she couldn't remain silent.

"Girls, listen to me. It's not wrong to act playfully with your partner. It's a spice in marriage. However, misunderstanding and feeling like you should not bother your partner with what you feel, especially a roller coaster of emotion boiling deep within, is not advisable to make it a habit. But it should be a practice of communication. Couples must always open up to each other, and a great partner would always be ready to listen. It means they are willing to work on the relationship. Having a selfish partner would never lead to a happy day, but always an exhausting one."

Both Gigi and Hailee felt delighted listening to Doctor Manni. No wonder the woman consistently heralded as a great OB-Gyn. She is truly excellent in her profession.

"Thank you for the advice, Aunt Manni… Vincent and I tried to be open as much, but recently…." Hailee gave a knowing smile to the doctor, which Manni understood.

"You girls are in great anxiety at this period of your pregnancy. So, please avoid making things hard for your partner. Stop overthinking with the things that might lead to unnecessary decisions and actions that cause your pregnancy in danger."

Both Gigi and Hailee nodded their heads. The female obstetrician further gave them a heart-to-heart talk, not only about pregnancy but, most notably, being a woman.

Hailee was so grateful to be surrounded by amazing people. She can't think of why she is so blessed in this lifetime.

Maybe she did something incredible in her past life, and she has been granted a prosperous life.

In the following days, Vincent never left Hailee's side. He spent the days on a videoconference with the Shen Group, Lopez Corp meetings, and his team at Dream City.

Although he didn't visit the site personally, he had the best people, so he was confident to leave the work on them. Vincent recently poached a skilled engineer, an old acquaintance, back when he completed his engineering in the US.

He was familiar with this man's work as they shared passion and ideas. They are both idealists of promoting an eco-friendly community, so Vincent would not have difficulty working with this man. In fact, he is the one he asked to work on the restoration of Theo's hotel in Vegas, and the Shang family was satisfied.

By the weekend, Hailee finally felt a lot better. The emergency helipad that is on standby at the rooftop of her hotel this whole time has made its take-off. Doctor Manni accompanied Hailee together with Vincent and a couple of paramedics.

At the same time, a private helicopter piloted by James followed behind, with Pitt and Doctor Dave as his passengers.

Hilda and Gigi, including the nannies, went home ahead of them to prepare things—for Hailee's arrival.

The media didn't hear the news that the Davies heiress was in critical condition in the past week.

They try to get information but cannot buy a story, as Jacob strictly watches everyone. Besides, all the Davies employees signed the contract with NDA clauses.

They should discuss nothing regarding the princess, especially with other people outside that is not part of Davies Corporation. Most significantly, no one should speak on behalf of their bosses but the legal team or the PR department.

The two helipads had finally landed safely on the ground.

Hailee wanted to walk around the garden; however, she was prohibited from moving too much. It is not advisable in her condition. So she suits herself sitting in a wheelchair, and Vincent pushes her toward the mansion.

Vincent brought Hailee toward the left-wing of the mansion, where a salon room became Hailee's bedroom until she gave birth. Also, she planned to get pregnant in the future. So it will become a permanent emergency room.

The room was exquisitely decorated and was filled with Hailee's favorite flowers.

In a short time, they built an inclusion room with complete medical equipment in case Hailee would bleed again and had a sign of miscarriage.

"They've prepared a wonderful lunch in the courtyard," Vincent told Hailee.

"Okay, hubby. I missed seeing a lot of green."

When she stayed in the hotel for an entire week, Hailee felt bored too much, not getting out of the suite.

"Welcome home, Hail!"

Hailee was in great surprise to see the people waiting for her in the courtyard. She wishes to get up and rush toward the three girls she misses so much already.

"Why are you girls here?"

"Surprised! Our classes will not start till October." It was Nadia who replied to Hailee.

Hailee knew classes in P Country started around August. But she guesses that someone made a special request to Mrs. Gomez. Hailee glanced at her husband, who pretended innocent, though she was sure that this was Vincent's doing.

He wanted her to cheer up, so he made it possible to kidnap these girls from their studies.

"And why are you here?" Hailee turned to Hazel next. This girl is supposed to be in France now, but here she is.

"It was too unfair that these girls were only the ones to visit you. Besides, Miss Vera went to Dream City for an important project, so I have a few weeks' breaks!" Hazel pouted as she complained, but then a gleeful smile appeared on her lips after she mentioned having a long break.

Hailee then remembered…

"Oh, right? Since I can't handle overseeing the Davies Cosmetic Research Center project in Dream City, Vera has to take over."

When Hailee muttered this, she looked at Vince.

"Well, I should phone Geoffrey later. I haven't decided yet on whom I will give this project, so I need Geoffrey to help Vera select. Hubby, can you also help decide who's bid to win?"

"Sure! It's my pleasure." Vincent delightedly nodded at his wife.

Dream City has so much work to do. Bryan is needed, but Hailee sent him away for a reason. Also, Vincent admits Geoffrey is a big help to Hailee as he is a very effective team leader.

Without Hailee's executive knights, completing Dream City will be delayed further. Thanks to them, the work has been advancing and in tremendous progress.

Hailee continued chatting with the girls when Doctor Manni joined them.

"Are you Hazel? James, who is dating recently?"

Hazel was in shock when the woman suddenly approached her and hugged her.

"You were so pretty! My son really knows how to choose a girlfriend!"

Hazel wanted to say something, but her face was bitten red when James' mom presumed that she and James were already in a relationship. She glanced at James, who acted like he didn't know what was going on!

On the sideline, someone is sulking and wearing a long face. Vincent looked at Jake, whose face was darkened. Jake was here to report to him.

Vincent cannot take sides. Jake may be his best friend, but it is up to Hazel, whom she would be given a chance.

Meanwhile…

"I knew you would be here."

Vera was startled when someone suddenly spoke behind her. She settled her heartbeat and casually glanced at the man, who was none other than Geoffrey.

"I was making lunch," Vera replied. She was on the rooftop of the Davies Group executive's apartment building. She didn't expect that Geoffrey would look for her.

Geoffrey furrowed his eyebrows with a lame excuse that she came up with.

"There is a free lunch for the executives in the canteen. You don't need to avoid me like this and trouble yourself to make your own lunch."

Vera scoffed when she heard Geoffrey. She turned around to face him.

"You are so full of yourself, Mr. Wilson. I'm following a strict diet, so I am not just putting food in my mouth. It was why I make my own meals. So please, stop overthinking."

After she ranted this, someone appeared and interrupted the possibly vain conversation.

"Hey, I'm back! As I said, I will be back in a minute!" said the guy, lifting the paper bag in his hands containing fresh vegetables and other ingredients.

Geoffrey furrowed his gaze as he looked at the man. "Trevor?"

"Hey, Geoff!"

Geoffrey clenched his jaw when Trevor had just cast a quick glance when he passed him. Geoffrey's face darkened, and he had the urge to rub out that massive smile across Trevor's face while talking to Vera.

But what enrages him is to see Vera kindly speaking to Trevor, which she talks to him roughly, and he doesn't understand why he is feeling this way.

On the other hand, Trevor was obvious with Geoffrey's sullen look.

"Are you staying for lunch, Geoff?" he asked.

Geoffrey pursed his lips, wearing a solemn face, and nodded as he responded flatly, "Yes."

Trevor curled his lips and thought, 'What a pitiful man!'?

On the other side of Australia, Vincent thinks the same while observing Jake.
