"Because Devon has told me everything," Kendrick answered in a soft tone. "You don't have to be scared, Hailey." He carefully watched her expression. "They don't even know of your existence. Even if they do, they will only dream of hurting you." Hailey pried her hand away from his and lowered her head. "You knew all along that Devon told me something.""Yeah." Kendrick nodded. "Th–Then, why didn't you ask me?" She stare up and looked at him with glossy eyes. She should be happy but instead, she appeared sad. 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." Hailey searched his gaze for a few seconds before she lowered her head again. He had seen that expression returning to her eyes. Why would she feel guilt because of this?She was sad but she didn't seem to be worried about what he said of the shareholders. Maybe she was but she hid it.

Kendrick watched her with both hands in his pants pockets. She squealed as she touched the drones and her eyes shone with happiness for once. She loved them. "How do I operate this?" She waved the joystick at him and he moved to her side and sat on the couch. He took it from her hands and showed her how the buttons worked. "Let me try." She didn't even wait for him to finish his instruction, and she snatched it from his hand.The next moment, one drone started flying in the air and she screamed."It worked, Kendrick. It is working." Hailey pointed at the drone and laughed. Kendrick gave a nod of admiration. The drone flew smoothly in the air, circling the chandelier. She was a natural.However, he had judged too soon. Because things immediately went haywire and the drone disappeared. It flew in a random direction, no one knew where it went. They could only hear its sound from a distance. She had pressed the speed button."Where is it, Kendrick." Hailey stared at him, dumbfounded.

Hailey shook her head and ceiled the box. "Devon is your friend. I– I can't." After saying that, she didn't even meet his eyes and rushed for the stairs.Kendrick sat there, flabbergasted. What had gotten into her? She didn't want them anymore? All because Devon was his friend? Did that even make sense? He broke out of his trance and stood up to go after her, but after making sure he picked the box also.He didn't see why she wouldn't accept any gift from his friend. Would she do the same if it was he that bought it? Hadn't she been the one that wanted it in the first place? She had told him she loved the drones and he promised to get them for her. And now she didn't want them? That was ridiculous.He grabbed his coat from the dining area and walked to the stairs. As he walked down the hallway, he thought of many ways to talk some sense into her.She couldn't just ask for something and shove it away in the next second. This shouldn't be related to her cravings. And she was going to

Right now, she would prefer going to the diner and being bombarded by her best friend with a million questions instead of meeting his parents. This was too much."We'll get there soon." Kendrick's tone was soft and he placed a palm on hers which lay on her forehead. Hailey dropped her hand instantly and closed her eyes. Not another look. She didn't want to have another glimpse of his face. Hell! It was too hard. She'd tried her best to avoid eye contact with him. She'd avoided him as hard as she could.Hailey didn't know why she was going to that extent. The only loud blaring thought in her head was, everything was wrong. It all didn't feel right. Not only his baby, even if she was carrying his most treasured thing in the world or even his life, he should at least show some emotions. He shouldn't act as if all was normal. He was only making her feel worse. Her fingers dug into her dress and she shifted away— from him, to look outside the window. She would pretend he wasn't there,

This was uncomfortable. This feeling was suffocating. It was so suffocating, she had a hard time breathing. And as if occupying her chest was not enough, it was threatening to build up and burst out. She had never felt this kind of guilt before. It was so new and raw. And it was all because of what she had done. Silence hung inside the car. It was more settling for Hailey than it might be for Kendrick. He could go on reassuring her, it wouldn't change a thing. It would only add more weight, to the one in her heart. Despite the long ride, it felt like a flash to her. They'd arrived too soon, they had arrived at the villa. She bit her lips and swallowed as the car drove through the large metal gates. She sneaked a glance at Kendrick, his eyes never left her. Maybe he had been watching her all along, she didn't like it. He should ignore her. He should at least act as if she didn't exist or give her the cold treatment. It was way much better than this. If he would treat her the way sh

Kendrick gave her a slight nudge, gesturing her to keep on walking. The uniformed man was ahead of them. He had already reached the couple's side and was speaking with them.As if on cue, his mother spun around to face them, her eyes widening.However, her shocked expression only lasted for a few seconds. She collected herself and put on a wide smile.Hailey's thoughts instantly went back to the last time. The fury she had seen in her eyes and the way her tone was livid and spiteful. Seeing her now with the usual smile, she would have thought that incident was all her imagination. But she knew better, it wasn't an imagination or a dream. Wasn't that incident what had led them to this point in the first place? He had brought her here to patch things up with them, and they were willing to. Because they thought she was innocent, it wasn't her fault. The middle-aged man glanced back over his shoulder and dropped what seemed like a newspaper on the table. Unlike his wife, his expressi

So many questions.Hailey knew they were all made up. Kendrick had probably told his parents that he was poisoned by an unknown person on the business trip. They didn't appear to believe him. And they appeared to be mad that he wasn't telling them who actually did it. Even though the allegation was lifted off her head, they still believed he was hiding something from them. Was Sharon's words true? Had he never lied to his parents?Kendrick's Mum picked a snack to feed her, snapping her out of her thoughts. She didn't seem to be bordered that Hailey didn't give any answer to her questions. Even if she was bordered, she had masked it with her cheerful smile. "Have a bite and tell me how it tastes, Dear. I heard you're very good at cooking, my skills might not be on par with yours, I hope—" She stopped in her words and her eyes went to Kendrick whose hand was on the tray again and he was about to pick another snack. She slapped his hand off and took the tray away while giving him a s

And the tension skyrocketed, Hailey could feel it in her nerves. His voice was so dark, her body shook involuntarily. "You didn't mean what you say." He rose to his feet and gave her a look of disbelief. "It was you all along. Why did you want to kill him?" She didn't want to kill him. Hailey gulped and kept stepping back, her heart drumming heavily. Their expressions were so livid it sent her speechless. All she could do was stammer. She couldn't even form a coherent word. And she kept putting more distance between them, a sudden hard feeling setting in her stomach. Until her back collided with something hard. Her back collided with Kendrick's chest. "What the hell was the meaning of that, Hailey." Kendrick's voice reached her ears. She didn't need to look at his expression to know that he was mad. From his tone, his anger could only be on par with his father's. He used his hand to support her by holding her waist. "She did not want to kill me." Without waiting for her answer, h

How did she think that would be of good to her— or any of them?He cursed under his breath and slouched down on his chair. Just when he thought everything was falling into place. When he thought he had got all things under control. It was a bad idea to take her to see them. He shouldn't have expected her to cooperate. She was too naive to know what hole she'd dug for herself. Even when he went back to speak with them, it was all futile. It was too late to pacify the couple. Now that she'd admitted it herself, his hands were tied. But he couldn't just sit and watch. Not when he knew what his parents' next action might be. He leaned back against the chair and wiped his face. Their next action which was more or less a decision– that didn't settle well with him. She had been left off the hook because she was carrying his child. The couple wouldn't have batted an eye before making her live through hell. But their final decision—He shook his head. Hailey was so unpredictable. And righ

Kendrick frowned at her relaxed expression then took another step forward. And that was when he got his answers. Because his movements caught her attention. Her hand stopped mid-air as she was about to take food into her mouth and she let out a small sound of shock when she spotted him. She wasn't in a bad mood. She looked surprised that he was back– and somehow, relieved. "Kendrick." Hailey left her food behind and scurried to him. "I– I..." Her lips trembled and she trailed off. She wasn't avoiding his gaze now. She stared right into his eyes, her expression turning to that of worry. Was she regretting what she did now?Kendrick let out a dark chuckle. Of course, she should. She should have realized how mindless and thoughtless she had been. Putting herself in his parents' bad books, how was that ever going to benefit her? Hailey's eyes darted to his clenched fists and she swallowed what seemed like her saliva. She took a measured step back and her lips parted. "Y–You aren't ma
