Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Sealing Promises

Kelly’s POV

“Can I ask you something?” Pierre broke the deafening silence between us. It’s been almost 5 minutes since he decided to stay but we’re just sitting on the couch across from each other, silent until he spoke just now.

I lifted my face and nodded. “Yes...”

“Did you ever think of telling me about Snow?”

I looked down and bit my bottom lip. Now, he’s ready.

“Yes,” I said, almost a whisper. “I always thought about telling you, but... I-I’m scared...”

“Scared of what?”

“Scared of your anger.”

I heard him sucked his breath. I squeezed my eyes and swallowed hard.

“You had a chance when we’re together after you ran away from Klay Carver. You had the chance when you came back and we met again. I never give you mixed signals, Kelly. I was wrong. I wronged you, but you said you already forgave me so I don’t understand why you had to hide the truth from me.”

I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to apologize again because I know it will only worsen the pain he’s feeling.

“Tell me, Kelly. Did my feelings scare you?”

“No,” I said with a hoarse voice and looked at him.

I saw pain in his eyes and I realized why I couldn’t bring myself to tell him. It’s because I can’t bear to see the pain in his eyes. I’ve been in love with him for so long and I’m still falling continuously.

“Then, why did you say you’re scared? Kelly, I love you so much and I’m willing to understand every million reasons you have, all because I have one reason to listen. I love you.”

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I smiled at him. “I love you so much too, Pierce. But I won’t deny the fact that I tried to hide her from you at first because I was heavily wounded. I’m afraid of trusting again and I’m sorry if my trust issues affected you and hurt you—”

“It doesn’t matter now,” he cut me off and stared into my eyes intensely.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and stared back at him. I don’t know what he’s thinking. I feel like there was something he wanted to say and he’s weighing my reaction, thinking if I’m ready to hear it.

Is he gonna take Snow away from me? Or perhaps, does he want us to break up? It hurts too much. Thinking about it hurts me that I started sobbing without a warning.

His lips parted and he stared at me in shock.

I laughed painfully and tried to wipe my tears that continued rolling down my cheeks. “D-Don’t mind me. I’m...fine.”
