"Because Devon has told me everything," Kendrick answered in a soft tone. "You don't have to be scared, Hailey." He carefully watched her expression. "They don't even know of your existence. Even if they do, they will only dream of hurting you." Hailey pried her hand away from his and lowered her head. "You knew all along that Devon told me something.""Yeah." Kendrick nodded. "Th–Then, why didn't you ask me?" She stare up and looked at him with glossy eyes. She should be happy but instead, she appeared sad. Kendrick took her hand and waited for the maid to serve him food. After she was done and left, he turned to Hailey and spoke."You didn't want to talk about it. And I didn't want to upset you." Hailey searched his gaze for a few seconds before she lowered her head again. He had seen that expression returning to her eyes. Why would she feel guilt because of this?She was sad but she didn't seem to be worried about what he said of the shareholders. Maybe she was but she hid it.

Hailey shook her head and ceiled the box. "Devon is your friend. I– I can't." After saying that, she didn't even meet his eyes and rushed for the stairs.Kendrick sat there, flabbergasted. What had gotten into her? She didn't want them anymore? All because Devon was his friend? Did that even make sense? He broke out of his trance and stood up to go after her, but after making sure he picked the box also.He didn't see why she wouldn't accept any gift from his friend. Would she do the same if it was he that bought it? Hadn't she been the one that wanted it in the first place? She had told him she loved the drones and he promised to get them for her. And now she didn't want them? That was ridiculous.He grabbed his coat from the dining area and walked to the stairs. As he walked down the hallway, he thought of many ways to talk some sense into her.She couldn't just ask for something and shove it away in the next second. This shouldn't be related to her cravings. And she was going to

This was uncomfortable. This feeling was suffocating. It was so suffocating, she had a hard time breathing. And as if occupying her chest was not enough, it was threatening to build up and burst out. She had never felt this kind of guilt before. It was so new and raw. And it was all because of what she had done. Silence hung inside the car. It was more settling for Hailey than it might be for Kendrick. He could go on reassuring her, it wouldn't change a thing. It would only add more weight, to the one in her heart. Despite the long ride, it felt like a flash to her. They'd arrived too soon, they had arrived at the villa. She bit her lips and swallowed as the car drove through the large metal gates. She sneaked a glance at Kendrick, his eyes never left her. Maybe he had been watching her all along, she didn't like it. He should ignore her. He should at least act as if she didn't exist or give her the cold treatment. It was way much better than this. If he would treat her the way sh

So many questions.Hailey knew they were all made up. Kendrick had probably told his parents that he was poisoned by an unknown person on the business trip. They didn't appear to believe him. And they appeared to be mad that he wasn't telling them who actually did it. Even though the allegation was lifted off her head, they still believed he was hiding something from them. Was Sharon's words true? Had he never lied to his parents?Kendrick's Mum picked a snack to feed her, snapping her out of her thoughts. She didn't seem to be bordered that Hailey didn't give any answer to her questions. Even if she was bordered, she had masked it with her cheerful smile. "Have a bite and tell me how it tastes, Dear. I heard you're very good at cooking, my skills might not be on par with yours, I hope—" She stopped in her words and her eyes went to Kendrick whose hand was on the tray again and he was about to pick another snack. She slapped his hand off and took the tray away while giving him a s

How did she think that would be of good to her— or any of them?He cursed under his breath and slouched down on his chair. Just when he thought everything was falling into place. When he thought he had got all things under control. It was a bad idea to take her to see them. He shouldn't have expected her to cooperate. She was too naive to know what hole she'd dug for herself. Even when he went back to speak with them, it was all futile. It was too late to pacify the couple. Now that she'd admitted it herself, his hands were tied. But he couldn't just sit and watch. Not when he knew what his parents' next action might be. He leaned back against the chair and wiped his face. Their next action which was more or less a decision– that didn't settle well with him. She had been left off the hook because she was carrying his child. The couple wouldn't have batted an eye before making her live through hell. But their final decision—He shook his head. Hailey was so unpredictable. And righ
