Hubby 394

Chapter 394 Ken Has No Life of His Own

Wade let out a weary sigh. He didn't argue with Zev anymore. Instead, he turned to Kelly with a pleading look in his eyes.

Zev was too close to the matter to see clearly.

He'd grown up with the Wagners. Everyone there had long since decided that Ken was the traitor-the one responsible for Sylvester's death. With that kind of influence around him, it was no surprise that Zev saw Ken as the enemy.

But Kelly was on the outside looking in.

She met Wade's gaze, saying nothing.

In truth, her heart had begun to waver.

A man like Wade, so steadfast in his judgment, was not someone who misjudged others lightly-especially not someone he worried about even on his deathbed.

"Could you give us a moment?" Wade said quietly. He didn't want to talk with Zev anymore. He needed to speak to Kelly alone.

Zev stood up, instinctively reaching to lead Kelly out.

"Kelly... stay." Wade's eyes stayed on her.

Zev hesitated, concern flickering across his face, worried Wade would drive Kelly away. "Grandpa."

"I'm fine. Go on," Kelly reassured him softly.

Zev glanced between them, then finally gave a nod and left.

Wade let out a frustrated breath, part disappointment, part resignation. He had to admit at this point that the troublemaker only listened to his wife.

When they were finally alone, Kelly sat by the edge of the bed. "You want to talk about Ken, don't you?"

Wade was momentarily surprised. She really was sharp.

"Ken is one of us. You have to believe in him," Wade said, repeating it again and again.
