Chapter 219 - His Moms Fury (1/2)

When Vince heard his phone ringing, he glanced at the nightstand to check out the time. The digital clock showed him it was quarter to six in the morning.

Although he usually got up at five, he wanted to stay another hour on the bed to cuddle with Hailey. But now, because of the call, they are both awake.

Still feeling sluggish, she looked at Vince with questioning eyes. She wondered if it was Tim who was calling him this early in the morning. It must be important or an emergency. Hailey watched him pick up his phone and studied his phone. When Vince remained unmoved, she asked with curiosity. ”Who is it, hubby?”

”It was dad,” Vince replied to her, glancing in her direction.

”Oh. It must be important. You should answer it now.” She urges Vince while she crawls the slight distance between them to hug him.

Vince was amused by what she did. It tickled him at how she keeps sniffing on his body. Now he was thinking if when does she turn into a pup from being a kitten.

With a smile on his lips, he swiped the green button and greeted the person in the other line. ”Hello, dad?”

Then he leaned over to brushed his mouth on top of Hailey's enticing lips.

”Good morning, son. Have you just woken up?” asked Fred from the other line?

”Ah, yes, dad!” Vince answered immediately, not to make his dad wait and have a suspicion.

Anyway, Fred knew that Vincent is an early person; that's why he dares to ring him this early, but discovering that he was still in bed at this hour is a bit new to him. So now, he realized that he should remind himself from time to time. His son is with someone now. He should expect a few changes.

So then, Fred apologized to Vincent. ”I'm sorry, son. I'm used to having a coffee with you this time around, so I thought you were up already.”

”It's okay, dad. I have a plan to go to the company today, so I should be up and prepare to go to the office soon.” Vince made this immediate reasoning not to make the atmosphere awkward between him and his dad.

”I see. By the way, how are you?”

”I'm fine, dad. Nothing to worry about.”

”How about her?”

Vince need not guess that his dad is referring to Hailey. He answered, ”She is fine as well, dad.”

”I'm glad to hear that. Carl just got home not long ago, and he told me about everything that had happened yesterday. It made me happy that the entrapment operation was successful. Anyway, your mom also got worried when she heard about it. She was infuriated at first, so I have to tell her everything, and why do you have to face him yourself.”

”Oh. Mom knows already?”

”I was worried about you and even for Carl, and your mom notices how restless I am. I can't lie to her, so I told her what was going on. She's the one who bugged me to go to the Supreme Court to file a case against Senator Gu. And then, to sue the Lan family as well.”

”I see...”

It's all that Vincent could say. He knew his mom's temperament. It's not surprising if she pursues a lawsuit against the people that threaten his life.

”Should I be there as well?” He asked his dad afterward. He and Hailey have a plan to fly to Australia tomorrow. His dad's news made him wonder if they should have delay for a few days. But he badly wanted to see Eva and get his long-awaited divorce.

Vincent came back to his senses when his dad replied.
