Chapter 174 - I Want To Replace Your Surname With Mine

"I want you to know that you are the only wife for me. I want to give you my surname and be the mother of my children. Would you accept me?"

"You are proposing to me now?" she asked. The beating of her heart went wild as happiness filled it.

"Ah… I should have done it in person."

"What?"

Hailey widens her eyes when the Maybach door opens, and Vince steps out from the car.

'Vince is here!?' However, the happiness she had felt has a mixed feeling of fear.

She's happy to see him. But he should stay in Australia because Liam wants to kill him, and the guy is just meters away from him!

She wanted to scream and call all her knights to gather in here and protect Vince. But she's not ready to explain everything to him. His appearance ruins her plans!

What is she going to do now?

Hailey meets Vince's eyes. He was so damn hot, wearing a tailored blue suit and a trench coat around his shoulders, while his right hand was holding his phone close to his ear and his left hand is inside his pocket.

He looks like a Mafia boss suddenly came out from an expensive car he owned.

She couldn't take her eyes off from looking at Vince's handsome face. But occasionally, she is glancing at Liam. She could see how Liam is shooting Vince with a sharp look.

Vince glances in his direction, but he quickly withdraws his gaze as if he doesn't care who he is nor why he was there.

"Wifey, you are so beautiful," said Vince, scanning her from the head down to her silver stiletto. Vince still outside, and they continue conversing on the phone while staring into each other's eyes.

Hailey's eyes twinkle, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. Vince could always make her heart flutter, which in his gazes, baritone voice, and compliments caused her heart to skip a beat.

But the glint in her eyes and the smile on her lips disappeared when Liam inserted his right hand inside his coat.

She knew that Liam always kept his favorite gun on the left side of his body. She wants to run toward Vince, but why do her feet was like they are nailed on the floor!? She can't move or speak.

"Vince..." She wanted to warn him. Gladly, Pitt appeared from nowhere and now standing next to Liam, and his hand is on his shoulder. Now she breathes with a sigh of relief.

"Wifey, what is it?"

Vince's voice is too tender, like mellow music in her ears, and it brought tears to her eyes. Vince is talking sweetly to her. She is uncertain if Liam could hear him. He must be, as his face soured and his eyes watching Vince's back with daggers look like.

If Liam's gaze could kill, Vince must be in pieces now. And she believes Liam already killed Vince inside his head a million times.

Liam is cruel and ruthless. There's no way that she would fall in love with a person like him. Even in the next life, she would never wish to meet him again.

Vince hung up the call; he put back his phone inside his coat pocket. His steps are long, and he immediately wrapped his arms around her body.

"You're here!" she exclaimed, pretending that her voice is full of enthusiasm upon seeing him because the truth is, her heart is wary as Liam is outside.

"Did I surprise you again?" He asked, brushing his lips on top of hers. "I am on my way to pick you up after you receive the gift for mom. But then, Bruce told me they requested you to cook for the event, and then I should wait until you are finished. Unexpectedly, mom decided to take you to the party."

Hailey was rendered speechless. Why does no one report that Vince left Australia?

Vince is safer in Australia than in his homeland at this time around!

She wants Vince to stay at Dream City to avoid being in the same place as Liam. But Vince came home all of a sudden.

"It surprises me, yes!" she muttered with a smile—not for Vince to notice that she is nervous.

"And I have another surprise," Vince whispered, brushing his lips on her earlobe.

'Is this guy flirting with me in the middle of the lobby?' But she notices the sparks in Vince's eyes. Not only that, his face is bright. "You seem to have good news to tell me."

"Hm... Eva contacted me. She's now going to sign the divorce agreement. So, she requested me to come back to P Country to meet us here. Finally, I will be free soon."

"Did she really tell you that?" she asked Vince, and he nodded at her. But it didn't make her happy. It didn't make sense that, out of the blue, Eva would contact him.

Why does Vince have to come back to P Country if they could meet in Australia? All it needs are the lawyers to fly there. Also, they should have done it in New York, not in Metro City!

It didn't make sense to her at all. This is trapped for Vince!

She was lost in her thoughts. She only came back to her senses when Vince cupped her face and proposed.

"Hail, I want to make a proper proposal. But my sh..t arranged marriage ruined everything when it took a long time before I got my divorce. Even so, I want to give you a grand wedding after everything is over."

"So, this is really a proposal, huh?" she muttered playfully.

"Sort of, because I want to replace your surname with mine soon."

"Vince…" Hailey bit her lower lip. She blinks to push back the tears in her eyes.

"So, I have been thinking, which one should I give you first? An engagement ring or a marriage license? I know it should be a ring, but how about giving you both at the same time? Can that be still a surprise?"

Hailey could see the sincerity in Vince's eyes. But to be honest, his divorce and his proposal are not the most important to her at this moment.

Vince must live to fulfill his promise of giving her a grand wedding, which she once dreamed of. But this time, it will be with the man she loves with all of her heart.

Hailey threw her arms around Vince's neck and kissed him passionately. After a long kiss, she parted from him to give her answer.

"I only set my eyes for a future scenario... I, being with you, are building a family of our own."

It made Vince's eyes spark with joy. Although Hailey is responding to his I love you's, but he's a bit worried if she would like the idea of being his wife.

"I imagine a life with you, like what I said over the phone. You are the only wife I wanted and the only one to mother my children. No other else..."

"Oh, Vince! You are the only man I wanted in this life!" Hailey let her tears flood her cheeks. Gladly her makeup is waterproof; it didn't ruin her face with the dark ink from her mascara.

Meanwhile, Crissa, who stands on the corner with Bruce, is witnessing this sweet moment. Gladly, she immediately snapped her phone and recorded this romantic moment.

On the other hand, Bruce allows Crissa to take a video since this is a special moment with his two bosses. After this proposal, he will confiscate the recorded video and give it to the Princess to keep it.

It's perfect for keeping the video of this sweet moment of promises between two people who love each other, even though reality wants to separate them.

Someone wants his male boss dead. If that person succeeds, then it will bring sadness to his Princess.

*

A while ago, one of his insiders saw Hailey heading to the kitchen. But, his men can't get near the place when bodyguards are scattered around, ensuring no one can approach the Princess.

And so he waited patiently. Now, out of the blue, Vincent Shen appeared. He's back.

The first thing he wanted to do at first sight of the guy is to plant a bullet in his head. However, someone stopped him.

"Never think you can do anything as you please under my watch." Pitt appeared suddenly, his hand gripping tightly on his left shoulder.

Liam glanced at his hand and threw a threatening look at Pitt.

"Pitterson Cha, one of the Mafia Lords in Northern Asia. So, the rumor is true. You are in the country as well."

"There's no surprise if I was. But how about you? Liam Huo, Mafia Lord of Southern Asia. This is not your territory."

"Are you sure to question me with that?" Liam muttered with a mock in his voice. He laughed, "Southeast Asia is not your territory either."

"Be careful with your presumption. Don't ever underestimate the Princess's Knights and their territories. Oops, there is a dark secret in that. Unfortunately, you are once her knight. And the Princess regretted she made you her knight. You don't deserve the title."

Liam sharpened his glare, soon replaced with a smirk. "What makes you think I want to be a knight? My actual goal is to be her king."

Pitt laughs loudly, and it annoys Liam. Among the knights, Pitt's attitude he hated most. His ridicule always pisses him off and his influences on the Princess. She trusted him, among others.

"I'm sorry. It's just too funny." Pitt is motioning his left hand while his right palm is holding his stomach. "I'm sorry to shatter your dream, dude. But that would never happen. Just accept that the Princess is choosing someone else as her king. Just accept the truth, dude."

"Is that so? Like I care. All I need to do is remove them by taking their crown away, and that is to cut off their head first."
