That only left her, Kara, and the two staff. She had told them to invite their families who must have arrived already, as she heard voices from outside. She didn't invite Rob, well because of many things. First, she didn't have any means to communicate with him anymore. And Kendrick's guard, Rick, who was always following her around. Even now, the guy was sitting outside in the diner. She was sure his eyes were glued to the kitchen. "I think the cakes are done," Kara said as she opened the oven. She brought out the cupcakes and set them all on a tray. Hailey stood up to apply the fondants on them while Kara went back to the dishes. The two staff came to join them after some minutes and they were soon done. They all packed the delicacies to the diner and Hailey marveled at the number of people that had come. "Did they invite the neighborhood?" She whispered to Kara. Kara laughed and nodded, "Seems like we don't need to worry about putting up billboards." Hailey laughed along

"Hailey, stop it." Kara tightened her hug as Hailey's sobs increased. "You'll hurt your baby, stop thinking about it."Hailey forced herself to calm down and placed both hands on her stomach, to quell the baby's movement. She didn't want to hurt her baby. At least, she wasn't a bad mother. Kara pulled out a hankie and started dabbing at her tears. "Today is your happy day, Girl. you can't let your celebration come to an end with a heartbreaking sob. Don't mind those silly girls, they didn't know the impact of their words. Don't you see how everyone is worried? Even robot Rick looks worried. We all love you, Hailey. We want to see you happy." She continued mumbling soothing words while carefully wiping the tears on her face. Hailey couldn't help the small laugh that left her lips. "That's it, Girl. You should see how beautiful you look when you smile. Your beauty is blinding. Even poor girls like me aren't immune to it. Even your gorgeous husband will only hold a candle for you. Al

'Urgh!' she hated to do this. "Kendrick, please listen. It's not what you think. I said I'm fine, even Bella confirmed it. Don't you think you're going overboard by worrying over something this little?" "I won't take any risks." Kendrick glared at her. Hailey leaned back on the couch and pursed her lips. "But the diner's only launched today. Isn't it unprofessional to not see to it that my business prospers? You're a businessman so you should know how important it is." "Nothing is more important than the baby." Kendrick shook his head. "I won't allow you to be careless again." "Kendrick!" Hailey wanted to pull at her hair. She really had the urge to throw her bag at him. She had stepped foot in the realm of her dream, she would not give him the freedom of putting any barrier in her way. "How about this." She kept her voice soft and calm. "I won't go to the diner tomorrow– only tomorrow. I'll take off the whole day and take a rest. Is that okay with you?""No." Kendrick instantly

"Madam, your hair looks good today." "Your eyes are more shiny, even your skin is glowing." "It's a miracle that you're still in great shape, Madam. Unlike other women, your bump is a compliment to your outstanding figure." And here they go again. Their normal routine of pestering her with sweet nothings. Hailey wanted to groan. Did Kendrick also put them to this? 'Urgh,' but why would he? Were they this afraid of Kendrick?She gave them a stiff smile and sighed. They weren't lying anyways, her skin glowed too much recently. It must be due to those supplements brought by Kendrick's Mum. And her appetite kept increasing, sometimes she couldn't even spend a whole hour without getting hungry again. Her phone started ringing and she sighed in relief. Finally, something to help her get rid of the maids. "Girls, could you please go and tend to the plants while I take this call?" She asked sweetly.The three maids gave her an eager nod and they all hurried inside the garden. Hailey let

"M–Madam, please calm down." The maid sat her down and tried to comfort her. But Hailey was pissed off this time. What if Sharon tainted her babies with her stupid attitude? Her eyes went to her plants and she got up and started caressing them. "From now on, I don't want her to come here," She said to the maids and they all nodded. She took in a long drag of air and breathed out her pent-up anger. She was only here for her babies, Sharon was too small to make her feel down. Her eyes wandered around the place. Her plants were all large and robust. And all riped to be cooked. Hailey had made sure they only received water and had tended to them with utmost care and patience. She couldn't wait to pick them all to the diner. She was going to make sure her customers were served food made from the most delicious and freshest vegetables. *****After taking one day off from the diner, Hailey wasn't as energized as she wanted. First, she had to deal with Sharon's indirect criticisms dur
