His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 485 Allen and Howard

Shun snapped himself back to the present.

Once again, his son Allen has denied he remembered anything. But he simply explained that everything was only in his dream.

With that, he could not force his son to tell him the truth if it actually caused pain in the heart. Letting out a sigh, Shun shakes his head.

"Allen is not ready to tell me anything. I guess the future must harrow for him." 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

"Could it be that it was the timeline where you died?" asked Derek. He suspected it after his nephew showed brilliant talent at a young age. But then, he seemed not happy.

"Possibly. It crossed my mind too." Shun concurred with Derek's guess.

He often caught Allen looking so sad while staring at the sky. It quickly disappears and is replaced with sparks every time he calls out and spends time. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

In that timeline, he must have less time to bond with his children when he is dealing with Hailee after that "man" successfully brainwashes her through Liam.

Shun reached for his forehead and kneaded his head. He has to make careful decisions and perfect his plan. One mistake, and everything goes wrong.

"Anyway, what did you find out, Madison?" Shun asked his daughter afterward. They can't worry about another matter until they don't find that man.

"Papa, I discovered something. One of Hailee and Vincent's sons is the reincarnation of Uncle Edward."

Hearing that, Derek instantly turned his head toward Lady Isabella. He smiled at his mother and said, "Then Dad is joining us too soon, huh?"

Although Edward Montfort cannot be together with Isabella at present, he will always be the reincarnation of Doctor Howard Williams, her lover, three hundred years ago.

It would also never change the fact that Derek was the reincarnation of their son back then. That is why Derek was happy for his mother. He may reincarnate and be born to another parent. He is always looking back at his past and cherishing them.

"Mama… Finally, you and dad will reunite in his next life."

Lady Isabella let her lips form a soft smile as her eyes twinkled with thrill, gazing at Derek. She rarely loses her composure, but she sometimes lets happiness linger in her heart as a reward for herself once in a blue moon.

She has lived a lonely life for over three hundred years already because of her curse. That is why nothing she dreams of now but her death. After her body regained its mortality, she could finally die.

Then she can be born again and reunite with her lover.

However…

"Finally, I understand everything," Derek spoke to Shun, interrupting Lady Isabella's train of thoughts. "I have been racking my brain for almost five years now. I am trying to figure it out, but I can't think of any reason I would betray you in the future and choose Hailee's side."

Shun curled his thin lips. "It was because Hailee bore the reincarnation of your mother's lover. You have a reason then…."

"Yeah. I want them to reunite. I always wished for them to be together, but it was impossible." Derek's eyes exhibit sadness when he recalls the curse his parents have to get through. "If dad dies in this life even before he is born, it will cut the chain of fate. Then, mama has to wait another three hundred years or more so."

Edward has to be reincarnated more than once before the curse breaks, whereas Lady Isabella has to witness her lover die repeatedly.

Derek could feel the pain of seeing your beloved die many times just thinking about that. Not only that, the possibility of someone interrupting this chain of fate like what was happening now.

That man wants Hailee's babies to die, but something is still not right. Derek thought to himself.

"That man should be happy that mama's immortality would end. He was angry that mama didn't follow him as his puppet but became the leader of the association that stopped him from ruling this world. So there must be another reason behind everything that is happening to Hailee and Vincent."

"Indeed. There is a profound reason Hailee and Vincent's lives got entangled with ours," said Lady Isabella.

"Madison, have you discovered more?" Listening to everyone's opinion, Shun ached to know more.

"Levi and I did…." Madison detailed what happened to the past they traveled to.

"Holy Shot! I have to hurry and finish the new time machine before the kids grow up!" Derek exclaimed happily.

"Hailee's dreams are true events in the past…." Lady Isabella muttered. She looked at Shun and added, "Allen probably failed to change the past, and he died."

"I strongly believe that he is from another timeline, and he was reborn in ours."

"All the possibilities are present in our world." Lady Isabella supported Shun's conclusion. "What Madison told us now is Hailee's exact dream five years ago. The children would travel to the past for a particular reason. Whatever it is, we have to protect them now. It doesn't matter whether Howard is reincarnating or they are just simply Hailee's children. I am prepared if my fate is to continue serving my retribution."

Derek looked at his mother with an aching heart. But on the bright side, there is no one as august as his mother.

"If that is the case, then please watch over our children. Guide them and teach them everything they have to learn about this world after we pass."

Isabella nodded her head and smiled. She truly longed to get her mortality back and die one day. But when she thinks of the future and the worth, she becomes in this world. The pain, sadness, and loneliness wash away.

At the least, she is helpful after being a person who's a heart filled with hatred.

"Papa… Do you agree if I tell Hailee everything now? Maybe it is the perfect time for her to know the truth."

After a long moment that Madison remained silent on the other line and just listening to them, she finally shared what bothered her lately.

"How would you tell her? Hailee is in a delicate condition." Shun reminded Madison. He pondered if he would permit her to do that this time around.

"Don't worry, Papa! I would not directly reveal it to Hailee. Her 25th birthday is approaching. I'm thinking of giving her a book as a present."

"Are you telling us that…"

"I have wanted to finish that book. But I am still uncertain how to reach the climax. Now that I have more information about both the past and the future, Hailee would have more idea of why she had an enemy. Hailee and Vincent's past and the distant future significantly impact our present life. In this way, Hailee is prepared to accept the future."

"Madison has been writing thousands of books hidden in the Montfort Chateau underground library. Records of love stories and tragic events, ordinary couples or people like us who have special cases," said Levi.

"Well, Mama did the same strategy about you and Cassie," Derek smirked.

Shun frowned upon remembering that. The book did not allow him to read his life story in another timeline. Everyone could read it except him.

So, making a change course in his life, he has to work hard and figure out everything himself. Bear to time constantly travels to win against his fate.

'Poor Vincent… Good luck to you.' But of course, he would help him. "Alright. Go ahead, Madison."

"Thank you, Papa! I will hang up now!"

Madison was elated after she received the permission. She requested Levi get her laptop to finish the story and make a hard copy.

Madison pulled an all-nighter. The following day, Butler Pete flew to Italy carrying the Flash Drive containing the six volumes of the story he had to deliver to Lady Isabella personally.

Butler Pete has been working with the Montfort ever since he was a kid. He who raised Edward Montfort and took care of Levi is the successor of the Montfort lordship. Of course, he is aware of all the secrets.

"Lady Isabella…"

Butler Pete placed the attaché case on the coffee table. It was chained to his hand, so he unlocked it with a special key. After that, he input the security code on the attaché case and took out the flash drive.

Lady Isabella went to her cottage inside the forbidden woods and went down to her underground library, where millions of books were written by her. She read the six volumes overnight.

After she added her point of view, the volume became eight. She immediately printed over one thousand pages, binding them into books.

"It's done." Lady Isabella smiled, looking at the eight books in different colors.

The book cover designs are based on Hailee's favorite flowers, and the books are in different colors.

Lady Isabella went back to the Chateau and handed a big attaché case to Butler Pete containing eight volumes of books.

"The future is in your hands, Butler Pete."

Butler Pete bowed at Lady Isabella, bidding her farewell. He immediately left Italy and returned to Dream City with the eight books.

"I'm back, Lady Madison…."

Looking at hard-bound copies of the book, an inexplicable feeling filled her chest, and Madison shed tears.

"They are beautiful!"

Hailee surely would love them! She thought delightedly.
