Semua Bab The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife: Bab 21 - Bab 30

*****'That stupid stupid Kendrick.' How dare he use her love for her grandfather to trick her. Hailey huffed and puffed as she paced in front of the bed. She was so mad at the moment, that she was afraid her chest would burst. That cunning man. To what extent would he go to make her life hell? He even made sure her room was bolted with chains and padlocks so she wouldn't have any chance of going back. 'Argh.' and how could she be able to sleep in the same place with him without choking him in the night?All she wished now was to rough him up and smash him into a mush the way he did to her baby. Her precious plant. Hailey kicked the hard wood of the bed and slumped down on it. She should have known asking for a request was the same thing as digging her own grave. She was so ready to stain his white shirt with mud, if not for that stupid phone call. Her promise to her grandfather had almost slipped her mind, because she was too busy drowning in her misfortune. If he hadn't mentione

Kendrick stepped in beside her and took her hand when Hailey started walking ahead. She wriggled her wrist but gave up as his grip tightened. The moment they stepped out of the elevator, he brought out his phone to make a call, while Hailey's eyes roamed over the place. The vast area was mostly filled with pregnant ladies. Some were seated on the waiting chairs with their husbands beside them. Some were walking around, with hands supporting their waists. And a number of the hospital staff were helping the heavily pregnant ones take a stroll. Her eyes stopped at a corner, where an angry-looking woman was bantering with her husband who seemed like he could break down at the moment. Then to another lady who was being fed some fruits by her husband. Another frail lady who seemed a lot younger than her sat in a corner alone, Hailey was surprised she could bear the weight of her huge stomach. A staff walked up to them with a wide smile and after exchanging pleasantries, she said, "Pleas

The men said their pleasantries, then they turned their attention back to her. They started exchanging light banters, Kendrick had to give them a second look. However, Hailey seemed all acquainted with their actions, she wholeheartedly played along. Kendrick was totally ignored by the three, and to his relief, something else caught their attention. From the gate, his black car drove in and all the bodyguards emerged one after another. The two securities looked alarmed, until Hailey assured them they were with them. "Why did they follow us?" She came to his side and asked in confusion. Kendrick shrugged and took her hand. "To do their jobs," he answered simply and started pulling her toward what he made out to be the main entrance. The guards fell in behind them after collecting the gifts from the car's trunk. But after getting over her short-lived confused state, Hailey was the one pulling his hand instead. All the way from the entrance, she kept shouting out, "Grandpa." Her v

"And why are we having this conversation now?" Hailey muttered in a helpless tone. "Because the earlier you concede, the better." She pried his hands away and breathed out an exasperated sigh. "Kendrick, I'm not a child. And I've listened to each of the doctor's words, I don't want any of your lectures. Leave me alone, okay? I know what I'm doing." Her voice came out soft and she looked tired, her eyes begging him to stop. Without waiting for his answer, she turned back and strolled away. And Kendrick's eyes lingered on her back until she disappeared behind a door at the end of the hallway. He unclenched his fisted hand and rubbed the back of his nape. Then he turned around and made his way to the study, where he met her grandfather waiting for him with another round of chess game. The day slowly went by and he didn't get a glimpse of her. He had only heard her loud chatters from a distance with the servants, when the old man led him outside for a walk. Hailey's grandfather was

Hailey's hand paused mid-air as she was about to pick up another fruit. She withdrew her hand and fisted her cloth with it, to cease it from trembling. "I– I don't know what to do with Rob." Her voice strained and she tried to swallow the lump in her throat. "B–But I think he will understand. I am so hopeless, Chloe. I wish I could make a choice that will be to both our advantage."Her heart squeezed with guilt and her eyes watered. Breaking this to Rob was the same as making her look unreliable. He was patient enough with her, now she was even ashamed of speaking of this to him. "I want you to do me a favor, Chloe." Hailey sniffed and continued. "I want you to help me talk to Rob. Tell him that I will never abandon him. He should exercise more patience.""But, Hailey. You know I hate to see you sad." Chloe gave her a hug. "If only you could change your decision. Believe me, I'll find us another plan.""You don't have to bother anymore," Hailey reassured her. Kendrick had the right
