His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 5:His Mom's Plans To Get Rid Of Her

Continuing the conversation, Carl added. "Auntie, we are men. It's normal for us to search for someone to cuddle with. Right, uncle?"

Dramatically widens his eyes; it stupefied Fred why his bastard nephew dragged him with his ridiculous viewpoint.

Furiously, he blurts out. "And why are you asking me? That has nothing to do with me!" Fred glanced at his wife, whose eyeballs wanted to pop out from her face. His poor wife now receives a cold shoulder. "And why are you looking at me like that?" he snaps whatever wild thoughts his wife had at the moment.

Even though she has something to say, she won't dare to. Annoyed, Hilda turned her attention to her nephew, who continued blabbing at her side.

"Aunt, there are two reasons a man keeps his mistress..." Carl paused and studied his aunt before he went on. "Either he truly loves her, or he just needs someone to attain his needs."

Listening to her stupid nephew, it was the latter she instead chooses. If that were the case, she could worry less.

But how if her son truly loves that woman? She has no control over her son's decision. What can she only do is nags him to leave his mistress.

It disappoints her. Instead of her son working on his marriage, he chose another woman to cope with his needs. Thinking over, she remembered what that girl told her.

"Madam Shen, I believe you talk to the wrong person. It would be best if you talked to your son instead of me. He is the one you should ask to get rid of me. Until then, I won't leave him."

"What do you mean by that?" Irritated, Hilda mused. It was impossible. She could not force his son to do that when he even avoids talking about it if he visits home.

Lately, her son avoids coming home to the mansion. She then learned he was now living with his mistress. Probably his son was tired of listening to her discussing his marriage with Eva. She encourages her son to take Eva seriously, as he was now 31; he still had no plan of having children yet. What's the use they choose Eva to be Mrs. Shen when her stupid son never lives with his wife?

She wants Vince to encourage Eva to come home and start a family in Metro City since Vince couldn't leave the company to join Eva in the US. But her son doesn't like the idea. Vince once said, "What I hated most is to chase or pursue a woman. If she doesn't want to? Then why would I stress myself and waste my time?"

Hilda felt devastated listening to her son. She doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Her son is so much like his father! They weren't fond of romantic stuff!

She understood Eva has also prided as a woman. If Vince truly needs her… Vince should coax her to live together. Women want to be pampered with attention aside from the luxurious life that a man could offer. It should be a man's effort. That is why she was pestering her son to court his wife and act like a couple. However, what her son did is send his lawyer with a divorce paper in hand. It angered her. The next thing she learned, her son has a girlfriend.

Her son miraculously lives with a woman! This worsens her annoyance. But because of that, she pursued her son to fix his marriage with Eva. But Vince is hiding from her now!

How ironic. When she talks to the girl for the second time, this is what the girl told her...

"You don't have to stress yourself begging me to leave your son, Madame Shen. Once your son dumps me, I will leave in silence."

Hilda heaves a sigh upon recalling her conversation with that girl. She admits she was gorgeous.

In today's meeting, she carefully scans the girl's features.

She is not wearing makeup at all, but only pink lip gloss. Her round eyes and thick eyelashes are captivating enough for you to bewitch.

Her smooth skin and curvy body are appealing to any man who couldn't resist desiring.

She is a woman, and she knows what ugly, simple, and pretty.

Hilda heaves a sigh of being in a total loss. It seemed that her son wouldn't dump that girl, as she manages to bewitch him and seduces him with her alluring beauty. And with the alluring body she has, she holds her son captive with her seduction.

"I was once young and beautiful as she is…" Hilda couldn't help mutter to herself.

Her son is willing to give up everything. It means his son heads over heels to that girl. If that's the case, she could do nothing but bear the rumors thrown at their family.

Hilda felt devastated. She won't accept that it will just end here. She should do something.

Maybe he truly loves his mistress, whereas she could satisfy him in bed. Something that Eva and Vince never shared. Hilda thought.

She could tell her son has the good taste to pick up a beautiful mistress. But thinking he has a wife, she couldn't accept the affair.

"Maybe I need to persuade Eva to come back home to Metro City and start living as a real married couple?"

"Auntie, Eva is a successful career woman. She couldn't just abandon her life in the US."

"And how about her husband? What use was she married to Shen? She need not work! She already enjoyed the Shen money for her trip around the world!"

True that their family spoiled Eva in compensation that her son doesn't treat Eva as a wife. Hilda's head was suddenly throbbing, thinking over.

It exhausts her thinking of another plan to drive the mistress away from his son's life.

That day, Hilda was determined to beg Eva to come home and stay for good. If Eva were here, it would force Vince to go home and live together.

"Carl, why don't you help me?"

Confused, Carl creased his forehead. "Auntie, Vince doesn't listen to you. How come he'll take my advice?"

"It's not Vince you should approach."

Finally, Carl understood his aunt. Scratching his temple, Carl reasons out. "Auntie, I don't want to be found floating in the South Bay the next day. I didn't spend my time taking care of my handsome face just to be found murdered one day."

Could he dare to touch Vince's woman? No, thanks! He loves his life! And if he died, many girls would mourn!

"Please, Auntie. Spare me from your master plan. I never dream of being placed inside a beautiful fiberglass coffin with a face badly beaten by your son and die with brain damage and hemorrhage."

Stupefied, Hilda rendered speechlessly. Fred, on the other hand, he was throwing with an unbelieving gaze at his wife. "Be careful of the things running inside your head!" he yells out.

Hilda snaps, "And what you want me to do? Just remain silent?"

"Just leave it out for now! Your son will get tired one day and will dump his mistress."

"Why can you say that? Huh? It's because..."

Lifted his head from his iPad, anger is now written all over Fred's face. He roared, "Hilda!"

Seeing her husband completely angry, Hilda shut her mouth. She picked up her bag and sat up, head to the stairs in silence.

Carl, who got used to this family, he better stay away from their drama. He mused. But he was thinking how lucky bastard his cousin. He's envious.
