All Chapters of The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Kendrick let out a chuckle at her words. He released her and muttered in her ears. "You want me to wait until you finish hiding?" Her body tensed again and she let out a soft yelp as if surprised.Kendrick hadn't meant for his words to come out that way. He'd let things go even if she was hiding. He saw no point stirring any irrelevant dispute over this minor issue. Although it didn't feel as minor to him. She shouldn't avoid him no matter what reason she had. "I– I wasn't hiding," Hailey protested. "I wanted to finish this before coming out." She turned around while explaining herself. Her lips held an unusual smile. Kendrick hadn't expected to see her smile. And on her face were patches of white flour everywhere. Even her apron was smudged with the white substance. And his eye fell on his own hands. The hands he had used to touch her. They were also stained by the flour. Her short laugh made him lift his head and his eyes went to her back to glimpse what she was doing. She had

"I'm not." Kendrick held her glare. She was taking the guilt so far. He didn't need her to feel guilty. Not when she'd go to this extent to deprive him of his things. What would she do if she knew the actual truth?Of course, he wouldn't let her know. He wouldn't even imagine how she would react. "Just give me my computer back. It isn't like I won't take my drugs." Hailey looked as if she wanted to argue. She gave him a tired look in the end, and let out a sigh. "You're right. Maybe I should give it back to you. You'll take your drugs. I don't see how you'll even get to overwork yourself." Kendrick instantly knew the meaning behind her words. Those drugs. They were more like sleeping pills. He wouldn't get any work done even if he wanted to. His jaws clenched and he shut his eyes, only to open them to find her smiling again. She was giving him a taunting smile."I'll let you have your computer." She waved her hand. "But you can't go to your study until you eat the cakes." "Oh, I

"Master, I thought you might need this." The Butler held out a bottle of water to him.Kendrick rose up from the couch and went to sit on the swivel chair. He brought the white bag out of the drawer and picked out each pill from its tablet. Then he took the water bottle from the Butler and swallowed it with the drugs. "I want you to destroy these reports." He nodded to the white papers still inside the opened drawer."Yes, Master." The Butler picked both papers out and gave a nod.And as the drugs began taking effect and his eyelids started becoming heavy, the Butler brought out a shredder from behind the shelves. And through his blurry eyes, Kendrick could see him plucking its fuse in a socket. After that, he dropped the reports inside them and the sound of the machine eating out the papers was the last to reach his ears before he fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't good to keep having them around. The fewer people knew, the better it would be. He had also made sure none of the ser

"I want to go there and and..." She trailed off as if it wasn't a great idea to say the remaining words. There was a flicker of fear in her eyes for a second. She swallowed what seemed like her saliva and continued. "I want to go there and see to it that Kara's doing well. She's been taking care of the diner for so long, I don't want to let her think I've left all the burdens on her." And now, she was lying. Kara had communicated with him through the bodyguard. She even urged him to not let Hailey come to the diner soon. Her headache episodes were over, but slight stress could trigger them. As if reading his thoughts, Hailey's hold tightened around his hand and she went on to say, "You don't have to worry about a thing. Kara is there. She won't let me tire myself out even if I want to. And I promise you I won't. I will also reduce my workload and always return home early."Kendrick kept his eyes glued to her expression, the feeling of her hands on his not helping him to concentrat

"I think you should see a psychotherapist, Sharon." Hailey snickered and gave her a pitiful look. "No, I think you should start packing your things, Hailey." Sharon chuckled. "Because your days here are numbered. You might even come back to find your things thrown out. Not even this baby can save you now, Hailey." She gestured at Hailey's bump. "Your days here are over." 'Relax, Hailey. She is simply a pathetic maniac' Hailey chanted to herself and she made up her mind to not let the girl's words get to her.Treating her as air, she entered her car and Rick closed the door and went to the driver's seat to start the car.But Sharon was persistent. And the happiness in her eyes only increased.She came to Hailey's side before the engine could kick off and she shook her head. "If I were you, I wouldn't return here today, or even ever. Because you wouldn't believe what I found in Ken's study." She sighed and let out another happy laugh. "Just don't come back, Hailey. It will be better f
