Semua Bab The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife: Bab 341 - Bab 350

But Hailey never really cared. All she only ever wanted was the smile. Rob did not only walk her to the entrance, but he also entered the door and they stood facing each other. Hailey's hair stood on end. Her heart couldn't stop drumming. The diner seemed to have close already. She couldn't hear the chatters of the customers. And she couldn't look away from Rob because of their current proximity. "Hailey." He gently tucked strands of hair away from her forehead. "Thank you for today. After such a long time, I had a great day." His smile became wider. It was as if only Hailey could feel the tension hanging in the air. Rob was standing in front of her, blocking her view of the diner. Hopefully, Rick was nowhere nearby. If Rick was close to the entrance, there was no doubt he would sight Rob. "O–Okay." Hailey stammered out and gulped. "R–Rob, you can go back now." But Rob didn't appear to hear her. He didn't listen. She even made an attempt to pull him away, but he didn't budge. "

She should have just ignored her guilt instincts and stayed mute at home. Whatever happened to Rob, she would hold herself accountable. It was all her fault and she was never going to forgive herself. Hailey's sobs didn't stop and all her energy plummeted. Even Kara who was back to hiding in a corner could only watch her helplessly. She didn't dare to step forward again. She looked so scared of Kendrick. And Kendrick just watched her. His eyes were dark, the anger was still evident in them. He'd never stared at her this way. There wasn't any pity in them. And he watched her as if she was a stranger. As if she was a piece of a puzzle he was trying so hard to decipher. And after a while, he carefully scooped her in his arms. Hailey couldn't even struggle, her strength had long left her. And her sobs had turned into hiccups. The only thing she could do was bury her face in his chest and keep on sobbing. What did he think of her now? And what was he thinking at the moment?Her hangin

Who knew how many times they'd met behind his back? Who knew what kind of activity was going on in that diner? Had she been using that place as a cover? Did they meet there frequently? Rick was one of his trusted men. He was among his elite guards. How could he be swayed by a woman? How could he be distracted that much? How many times had they successfully distracted him even? "You can't withdraw your promise." Hailey shook her head. "Kendrick, you can't—"Kendrick yanked her hands off his shirt, cutting her off. Standing here listening to her was a waste of time. He shoved her aside then entered the study room and slammed the door in her face, bolting it. And he found himself pacing. He paced for a long while in the study room, kicking everything in his way. Hailey remained at the door, knocking and calling out. Several minutes passed by and she was still there. She didn't cease calling out his name. She didn't cease sobbing and begging. The Butler came and coaxed her to go aw

Hailey understood all that. Her sister didn't have to voice it out. And the more Chloe spoke, the more the guilt encompassed her heart. "Sister, you have to do that immediately." Chloe didn't give her room to speak. "Rob's life is in your hands. Think about his love for you these many years. Think about his sacrifices.""I know, Chloe, I know." Hailey broke down. She thought her tears have long dried up but a dam of fresh ones flooded out. "I'll be damned to let Kendrick harm Rob. I won't let him do that." And after hanging up, Hailey found herself ambling out of the bedroom. It was nighttime already, Kendrick should return in a few minutes. And she wasn't confident that he would come to the bedroom even if he did, so she waited for him in the hallway, in front of the study room. She waited and paced around for a while. Then footsteps came from the stairs. At first, Hailey had thought it was Kendrick until one of the maids appeared in her sight. "Madam, dinner is ready, the Butle

And Chloe was banned from coming here. Then was it Kara? Hailey shook her head. Kendrick must be mad at Kara for colluding with her. She wouldn't be surprised if he banned her also from coming to this place. Or maybe even destroy their friendship. "Alright, I'll be down in a minute." Hailey couldn't just wait and wonder who it was. She should find out by herself. The maid nodded and walked away. While Hailey returned to the bedroom to put on her slippers. She couldn't believe she had been walking barefoot in the room. But sometimes, she would find herself forgetting even something as mundane as knowing where her phone was. She forgot a lot of things recently, and it scared her. As she walked down the stairs, her stomach moved rapidly and she had to curdle it with one hand to curb the movements. The house was very quiet. So quiet. She had also noticed that the servants didn't roam in the house the way they did before. They would only come in when it was time for cleaning or to prep
