Chapter 191

Hailey pried her hand away from his and lowered her head. "You knew all along that Devon told me something."

"Yeah." Kendrick nodded.

Kendrick took her hand and waited for the maid to serve him food. After she was done and left, he turned to Hailey and spoke.

"You didn't want to talk about it. And I didn't want to upset you."
