Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife: Kabanata 291 - Kabanata 300

On her way to the kitchen, she almost bumped into one of the staff. At that, she slowed down her footsteps to calm her heartbeat. She shouldn't be so much afraid of Kendrick's anger to the point of endangering herself. Maybe she should try forming an alliance with the Butler. It had failed several times, she didn't believe that she wouldn't win him over someday. "Shit! You almost got me into trouble. What if she found out?" That was Kara's voice coming from the kitchen. Hailey stopped walking as she was already near the door. Why did Kara sound so agitated? And it seemed like she was scolding one of the staff."I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I didn't know she would come today. I thought we could share the cupcakes after work." "Well, you should have hidden them somewhere else and not the fridge. You could even take them home. Don't you know she almost ate them? Imagine what would have happened.""Please forgive me, Ma'am. It is my fault. I promise this will never repeat itself." Kara's voic

Her stomach made a strange noise and she gave it a gentle pat and chuckled. "I also think he's a meanie, Baby. He doesn't have the right to ignore us—" Right on cue, Hailey jumped up as her phone started ringing. Ignoring the dizziness that came with her abrupt movement, her eyes searched around and she located her phone on the bedside table. She grabbed it while her eyes widened at the displayed name. Then her heart started thumping and her hands trembled a bit. Th–That was Kendrick calling. Why was she suddenly nervous? Hailey fiddled with the phone and struggled to hold it properly. Then she took in a deep breath to calm her erratic beating heart. This wasn't the first time she had spoken with Kendrick on the phone. Why did she feel as if she was about to set out for war? Why couldn't she get a hold of herself?Hailey took in another deep breath and made up her mind. Shit! She wasn't supposed to be nervous? She was supposed to be questioning Kendrick on why he had ignored her a

"You shouldn't worry about that, Kendrick." Hailey's back ached from leaning against the headboard so she lay down properly on the bed. "I was on my toes all day anticipating your call. I thought you were ignoring me," she mumbled. "I wasn't." Kendrick gave a soft laugh. "I couldn't wait to speak with you.""Really?" Hailey smiled."Really." Kendrick nodded. Hailey bit her lips and ducked her head. Did that mean Kendrick also missed her? He said he couldn't wait to speak with her. Did that mean he'd been thinking about her all day? "Kendrick." His eyes never left her when she looked up. "You... Do you really care about me?" "Is that even a question?" Kendrick tilted his head. "Right now, you're my only priority, Hailey." His voice echoed in the room, the lights were turning dimmer. It was already late into the night. At his words, Hailey suppressed a sigh and one hand wandered to her chest. His only priority. Hailey already knew that. There were a lot of reasons for that. Yet,

Hailey's lips tugged up at the corner before pressing the exit button. Her call logs with Kendrick disappeared and on her home screen were several missed call notifications. And they were all from the same person.Her brows furrowed at that and she carefully sat on the bed. It seemed like all those calls came in while she was conversing with Kendrick last night. Why would Kara give her these many calls? Even in the middle of the night at that? Did something happen to her? She must have left the diner before calling her. Was she alright? Without dwelling on her thoughts, Hailey quickly pressed the callback button. It was weird enough that Kara had called her in the middle of the night. What was even weirder was the several missed calls. Hopefully, she was alright.The phone rang several times, then the beeping sound came. No response from the other end. And Hailey glanced at the bedside clock. Kara must already be at the diner by now. She must be busy cooking.Hailey hoped so. Her

The woman's return now shouldn't mean that she cared. If she had ulterior motives, then Hailey would show her that she was too strong to be hurt twice by the same person. With that in mind, Hailey hardened her heart before the dam of her emotions had a chance of breaking free. She dried her tears and they no longer flowed. And she took in a few deep breaths to relax her muscles. She shouldn't cry for her. She wasn't worthy of that. She would be hurting herself as well as her baby if she kept on crying and wasting her emotions on the wrong people. She had let her baby down countless times by doing that. She was never going to let that repeat itself. Right now, she had to prioritize her baby above everything else. She'd be the most unreliable mother if she kept letting her baby down. She lowered her head to her bump and cuddled it. She wasn't an unreliable mother. She would never be. She'd do anything for her baby no matter what it took. And she was never going to abandon her baby d
