All Chapters of The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

He focused back on the silky strands of hair in his hands. In fact, he didn't know what he was doing. And he couldn't take his hands off. The texture was good and the volume was right. She also seemed to enjoy it. Because as his hands ran through the strands and he undid and redid the braids, her weight became heavy against him and she dozed off in his arms. Kendrick adjusted Hailey to a comfortable position. And now that her face was in his full view, he had the full chance to study her features. She appeared more at ease nowadays. Unlike in the past, her body seemed to radiate with positivity. She'd been dealing with a lot. And he'd tried his best to make things work. Now that things were going in the right direction, had he been too strict in the past? Or was it because she'd been restless?This docile part of her was still a revelation to him. And the more she showed it, the more he wanted her to reveal more. He'd know of her worries and eliminate them. If she longed for peac

"You didn't even think about your health. And you were considerate not to wake me up. You must have spent hours in the kitchen." He brought up his hand to wipe away the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. "Your kindness is very much appreciated, Hailey." Hailey's hands were still on his necktie and she slowly lowered her head as her cheeks heated up. This was the first time someone had shown her this appreciation. He didn't even smile when he said those words. It was as if the words were coming directly from his heart. Hailey didn't think she'd done that much to deserve this amount of praise. She'd be damned if she didn't say she was emotional at this moment. "Th–Then, do you think I deserve a reward?" She looked up at him and put on a playful smile while trying to sound normal."You deserve every kind of reward, Hailey," Kendrick said and his smile returned. "Like this."He leaned forward and placed a cheek on her left cheek. Hailey gasped and her hand wandered to that cheek. Wa

It would be horrible to witness Kendrick having a fight with any of his parents because of her. This wasn't how things were supposed to be.So she took to her heels despite his mother's words and headed upstairs. But the woman was faster than Hailey and she instantly caught up with her. "Didn't you hear what I say?" She grabbed Hailey's hand and held her in a tight grip. "You are coming with me today, there's no way I'm going to let you continue tainting my son's life.""I said she's not going anywhere." Kendrick was also by their side and he pried Hailey off her grip. "Mum..." He seemed to be struggling again to keep his temper in check. "Let's go home. You're acting like this because you don't know the whole story.""Tell me if the whole story matters!" His mother pushed him away. "My baby girl is laying at home hanging between life and death all because of this woman." She glared so hard at Hailey that she was grateful for once that looks couldn't kill. "Since she came into this

Unlike earlier, his expression was now unreadable. He was neither smiling nor frowning. And she couldn't understand the look in those eyes. And Hailey opened her mouth even though she didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to ask him. And she wanted to know what had transpired at his parents' place. And as she struggled to form a word, her body instantly went stiff as Kendrick cupped her cheeks with both palms. And finally, his eyes flashed with emotion. "Are you alright?" Was the first thing that left his mouth. His eyes were filled with worry and his tone was softer than usual. Hailey was once again speechless. Why was he asking her if she was alright? Was it because of the words his mother uttered? "Hailey, she didn't mean all she said. Don't let those words affect you."His words confirmed Hailey's thoughts and her eyes watered immediately. Was Kendrick comforting her? "Of course, I'm alright." She sniffed back her tears and quickly shook her head. "I also know that

Even though it had been two days since Kendrick left, they had only gotten to speak on the phone once. That awkward conversation. Hailey's cheeks flushed at the remembrance of that, remembering what she did before he left. Maybe it was by instinct or she had thought he was making the first move. Well, she didn't know if she should be embarrassed or not. She had felt his shock and his happiness after that and she'd run upstairs to ponder upon her actions. And she'd dreaded their conversation on the phone before it happened. Would Kendrick taunt her? Would he bring that up? Would he make fun of how she had literally pulled him down and kissed him hard? However, he didn't do any of that. He'd spoken to her normally. And his tone had changed a bit. He sounded a lot happier. Hailey had been the only one that had felt awkward during that phone call. Anyways, the call didn't last for five minutes. He seemed to be busy. And before bidding her goodbye and hanging up, he'd given her some w
