The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 271 - チャプター 280

***Two days passed by in a flash, and Hailey had no qualms with looking after Kendrick. He'd do the dressing by himself and his wound was healing rapidly. And apart from that, the servants' actions towards her had taken a tremendous turn. If they weren't nice to her before, then they were now. She'd been pampered non-stop even by the Butler. And unlike before that she would walk in on the maids and find them conversing about either her or Kendrick, nowadays their conversations were mostly about themselves and other things that caught their interest. Hailey strolled down the stairs with her bag hanging on her left shoulder and her phone in one hand. She hadn't noticed her sister's missed calls since she woke up. Why did Chloe call her several times? Could there be any problem? It wasn't possibly about their last conversation right?It had taken her sister by surprise when Kara broke the news of her decision. She wasn't possibly going to scold her for how irrational she was, right?

But he had changed his attitude toward her when he found out a few days later who her pregnancy belonged to. He even urged her to carry on with the wedding because he'd gone behind her grandfather's back and demanded something big from Kendrick. Hailey had found out that prior to the wedding when she caught her father and stepmother having that conversation. It seemed like Chloe wasn't aware of that. Her father hadn't really helped with pacifying her grandfather for her misbehavior, but one thing was definite. He had been the catalyst to her whirlwind marriage to Kendrick."So you see, Sister. No matter what Dad does he was only looking out for you. He might be temperamental and have his own issues, but I'm very convinced that he loves us both.""I understand, Chloe," Hailey murmured, even though she didn't really understand her sister's words. It was too late to wish for her father's love anyways. "Don't worry too much about Dad's condition, let's be positive. I know he will get

Then the door opened and Hailey sprang up. Kendrick cursed under his breath and glanced at the sudden intruder. "M–Master, Madam." A young maid was standing at the door, with a small tray in her hands, looking shocked and shaken. "Uhm, Kendrick." Hailey scratched the back of her neck and grabbed her bag."I feel tired right now, guess I need a warm shower to relax my muscles." And she hurried past the maid and out of the study room. "Please forgive me for the intrusion, Master." The maid scrambled forward with the tray slightly shaking in her hands. "H–Here is your coffee as you ordered. I hope you enjoy it." And she dropped the tray with the coffee cup on it then bowed rapidly and hurried out. Kendrick's eyes lingered on the door for a while then his eyes came down to the dark liquid inside the cup. Coffee? Even without the coffee, he was going to have a sleepless night. He leaned back against the chair and swiveled for a while slowly tapping his fingers on the armrest. Mayb

Maybe he shouldn't meddle in her family affairs. She was his wife and the best thing he should do was see to her happiness. The fact that she never requested anything from him showed how she was the polar opposite of her father. And instead of getting mad, maybe he should be thriving for the most peaceful solution. When Hailey didn't get any reply from him, she sighed inside. Maybe she shouldn't have brought that question up. And she was lucky that he was still calm. She shouldn't have tested the waters to see if he would get mad at the mention of what happened before or not. She should be happy that he didn't stop her from going, even though she had to wait until he return from the trip. That would be better than not going at all. Did he want to go with her because he was afraid that what happened the last time she visited her father would repeat itself? She looked away from his face and placed her head back on his chest. It was obvious that he was worried for her. In the past

She could hear voices coming from inside. They weren't even whispers. The Butler's voice was loud and anxious while Kendrick's voice didn't sound as calm as always."What is happening?" Hailey wondered.She didn't linger on the door to eavesdrop on their conversation, that was a bad thing to do. And she pushed the door open and stepped inside. If her presence wasn't needed she would excuse herself. But she didn't want to listen in on their conversation. And she also wanted to be assured that Kendrick wasn't experiencing any difficulty in his work or personal life. Maybe they were discussing something completely different and out of those scopes."Madam." The Butler shut his mouth instantly when Hailey walked inside. And Kendrick who was standing in the middle of the room and had his back to the door turned around. His eyes widened for a bit when he spotted her before the frown on his face appeared again. Hailey's eyes went from him to the Butler. Maybe her presence wasn't needed.
