Chapter 370 - The Same Woman They Love

"Mr. Wilson is in a meeting with Mr. Shen, right? Do you have important documents for the boss?" Laila asked Tim while patting his shoulder.

Just then, Tim pulled out from his train of thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, yes, but Mr. Anderson is also inside. Don't you guys enter this room for a while!"

Tina and Laila shared a knowing look. The two girls understood even Tim would not elaborate on his words. That room must feel like hell. No wonder Tim had that kind of expression when they found him frozen in front of the door.

On the other side of that door to hell, Geoffrey and Bryan shoot Vincent a serious glare. From his words, they have at least to give a piece of their thoughts regarding his warning.

Yes. It was clear he was warning them to stay away farther, now that Hailee is getting married to him. But seriously, he is very entitled, which they cannot do anything because he has the right as the husband among them.

Even though Vincent made them feel ridiculous, it was Bryan who spoke first.

"I would be honest with you, Mr. Shen. I still love Hailee even now, and it would not change. But I will take a big step backward. I am familiar with her attitude. She doesn't want any conflict between her friends, and it really affects her, so I promise I will not meddle in her love life. But when it comes to Dream City, I will stand by her side to complete the dream we built together."

Vincent contracted his pupils from what Bryan had stated. Clearly, the guy slaps him that even though he is the husband, the first man Hailee shared her dream of is Bryan.

Geoffrey, on the other hand, is displeased. He frowned at Bryan, who acted like he was the first one Hailee shared her dreams with.

Both Bryan and Vincent turned their heads to Geoffrey, and they creased their forehead after the guy let out a burst of crisp laughter.

"Don't take all the credits, Bryan," said Geoffrey with disdain. He looked at Bryan downward and scoffed, "I was the first person, whom Hailee opened up to, that she wanted to start her own company as she dreamed of building her forefather's kingdom. I was the one who helped her realize what kind of city she would like to build. I helped her…."

"Enough! It happened because I was away and completing my course!" Bryan snaps at Geoffrey.

He retorted, "But you were fooling around with another woman!"

Bryan gritted his teeth. He could not counter Geoffrey because it was true. That was the time where he met Eva and began his sex life. He could not deny how it was hard to resist as it made him realize something, which he could not drag Hailee toward that kind of relationship without giving assurance to her.

He already developed a feeling toward her, but she was too young back then.

"I may have been in a relationship during that time. But my sincerity in helping Hailee to her dreams is genuine, and you can't question that."

"Even so…" Geoffrey is not done, but Vincent's voice erupted between his heated argument against Bryan.

"Can you both stop now? We are talking about my wife here."

Bryan and Geoffrey are rendered speechless; both look at Vincent with complex expressions written on their faces.

That's right. Even if they argued now, the truth would not change. Hailee is getting married to another man, and neither of them won her heart.

On the one hand, Vincent is displeased. At one moment, he felt jealous that he was not the first person Hailee shared her dreams with.

But he will assure them he will be the man to finish her dream and stand by her side at the end of this journey.

"You can both argue over that matter, but don't forget that I am the one who will help Hailee complete her dreams. I will acknowledge that both of you are important to this company. You can do your job as Hailee's director. But from here onwards, you can stop competing with me. I will accept that even if I kill myself with jealousy, I cannot change the fact, you contributed a lot to realize my wife's dream."

Geoffrey and Bryan both twitch their lips upon hearing another man calling Hailee his wife. Moreover, they could not refute what Vincent had said. The guy is right. They have the same goal, and that is to help Hailee complete her dream city.

It is meaningless to argue and retaliate because the person who would be affected is Hailee.

"Am I clear here?" Vincent wanted certain things if the two men were willing to lower their ego and pride for the same woman they love. But of course, he will make sure that they remember to stand in the lane with the label FRIEND and not an assuming lover.

Before the two men concurred with Vincent, both shared a meaningful gaze.

"Mr. Shen, I will not deny that you are right. I would be honest with you. I have been in love with your wife until now. But I assure you, I am a decent person. I won't look for trouble, but promise me you would not hurt Hailee nor make her cry," Geoffrey had a sullen face when he stated this.

It was the first time he admitted his true feelings for Hailee in front of others: Hailee's ex-fiance and the future husband.

Anyway, there is no use hiding his feelings when these two men could see through his heart.

"Then, I am glad to hear that from you, Mr. Wilson," said Vincent, his gaze shifted to Bryan.

"I am trying to move on. But yes, I am still watching you closely, Mr. Shen. I've caused too much pain to Hailee before, and so, all I wished for is her happiness."

Meanwhile, outside the door. Tim, Tina, and Laila pressed their ears from eavesdropping. The three of them were startled when they heard two voices argue.

"What are you guys doing?"

Tim shuddered upon recognizing this voice.. Tina and Laila as well straighten their back after hearing someone speak behind them.
