The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 221 - チャプター 230

"Master is downstairs having his breakfast," The Butler answered.Hailey made an oh sound and nodded. He hadn't left for work after all. Her eyes went to the briefcase in the Butler's hand. Was Kendrick planning to leave after having breakfast? That would be too early still. Why would he go to work at this time? "Madam, about last night..." The Butler's words snapped her out of her thoughts and Hailey realized she'd been staring absentmindedly at the briefcase.She gave the man her attention and urged him to go on. Last night. She didn't want to think about last night. If only she could wipe that incident off her memory. But the Butler looked as if he wanted to tell her something. The man hesitated for a few seconds, the smile never leaving his face. The smile which had now turned to a nervous one.Then he cleared his throat. "W–What Master's parents did." He scratched the back of his neck. "I– I hope you don't take it to heart. A–As you see, Master is their only child. They were o

And she owed Kendrick a lot. Her thoughts went back to Kara's words. She had hurt him and it was her duty to take responsibility. The maid bowed and waited until she finished her food. Then she picked up the tray and left for the kitchen's direction to meet the other maids. She was literally skipping in happiness and the other two maids' expressions weren't less.Had they grown so fond of her in such a short time? Hailey's eyes lingered in that direction. They, in fact, appeared happier than the Butler.She stood up and left the dining area, heading for the stairs to pick up her bag. When she walked down the empty hallway, her eyes wandered back for any sight of Sharon. She didn't even come down for breakfast. Was she starving herself? That girl was out of her mind. Why wouldn't she just give up already? It was clear as day that Kendrick only saw her as his spoilt little cousin he'd made her. How could she be so obsessed? Hailey shook her head at the thought of the pitiful girl. K

"It went well," Kendrick replied. And finally, he would be freed from the Butler's pestering also, as not a day went by without him asking about his health and whether he was feeling any discomfort or if it was a bad idea to have him discharged early from the hospital. Or maybe they should go see the doctor before the scheduled appointment. "That's good to know." The Butler beamed at him and stopped walking when they neared the study room."Madam is in the bedroom. She must still be wondering why you aren't back yet." He looked at him knowingly before disappearing inside the study room with the briefcase.Kendrick gave the door a helpless look and he resumed walking to the bedroom, now letting the smile which had been fighting to break out free. Right. She must be waiting for him. She'd asked for his whereabouts when she returned. She must have come back early because he'd promised her he'd return early."Ken." Sharon's voice stopped him when he was just a few feet from the bedroom

If Kendrick knew she was deriving pleasure from his massage, he'd make fun of her till she turned red in embarrassment. His slight anger was the only thing that settled with her at this moment. He was mad that she'd stayed in one position for several minutes. Well, Hailey had no choice. She needed to find that ring at any cost. She had to find it. Kendrick wasn't even smiling. His expression was relaxed anyway. He would frown now and then at the sight of her swollen leg. Even when he'd cut the phone calls and coerced her to keep on reading, he didn't have on a pleased expression. Hailey wasn't surprised that her sister called. She knew why Chloe called her. She must have called to inquire about her decision. And Hailey was afraid she had to disappoint her. After all, she hadn't ended up following her advice. So she couldn't even argue when Kendrick had cut off the calls. She was too surprised at his action. And apart from astonishment, it was nothing else. A part of her heart was

Hailey didn't know what he was thinking, however, his expression changed at the knowledge that Sharon was upstairs. She could even see a slight anger flash past his eyes. The maid bowed and left. Kendrick didn't start eating until a few seconds later. He seemed to be spacing out. Or maybe even thinking why Sharon didn't come down. Hailey rolled her eyes and made loud noises with her spoon. That did the trick to drag his attention. He gave her a fleeting glance before lowering his head to eat. But his attention wasn't on her. He didn't even make any comment when she picked at her food. He was probably thinking about Sharon. And Hailey found herself glancing at him more than focusing on her food. He was too silent. She didn't like it. The only time he looked at her was when she accidentally choked on her food and he poured her a glass of water. "Be careful, Hailey," He said in a soft tone. His eyes shone with worry and he gave her a slight pat on the head before he continued eating.
