Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 The Signs

Pierce’s POV

I pulled away and stared at her face. Swallowing hard, I moved away from her.

If it’s just me, I would still kiss her to my heart’s content. If it’s just me I would grab this opportunity to make up for my mistakes and ask for another chance but I know it will never be easy especially after everything she’s been through. The first man she trusted hurt her, her father. I hurt her too. She fell in love with Klay Carver, but he lied to her and hurt her too.

Kelly has been wounded eversince and taking advantage of her like this shouldn’t be an option for me to make her love me again.

She must’ve been traumatized by the pain we inflicted in her. If I insist on doing this just to feed my longingness and force her to reciprocate my love for her, how different am I from a rude thief trying to rob her of a good life?

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” I said and swallowed hard again as I pulled myself up.

She stared at me with a blank face. I can’t read her expression. Ever since she broke down in the airport because of the death of her father, I saw the changes in her. She’s not showing her emotions anymore. She became cautious in her every move. She became aloof and it took me a few months to gain her trust again.

I don’t wanna break her trust by letting my emotions get the best of me.

She looked away and yawned before she pulled herself up and spoke. “I think I need to rest.”

I nodded and helped her. Although she allowed me to accompany her upstairs, I still feel guilty and awkward because of what I did.

I kissed her. She let me. I don’t know if that kiss means anything to her but for me, it means a lot. I missed her. So damn much!

After I dimmed the lights in her room, I locked the door and rested my back against the wall. I squeezed my eyes closed and grabbed my hair as I took a deep breath, shaking my head.

I hope this won’t change her treatment. She was cold to me during our primary months here. I don’t wanna experience that cold treatment again.

When I entered my room, I saw mom calling my phone. I immediately picked up her call and one of the first things she asked was about Kelly.

[What took you so long? How is Kelly?]

I dropped my body on the bed and lifted my left arm, staring at the wristwatch Kelly gave me together with a Christmas card.

“She’s fine, mom.”

[I’m glad. How about her baby?]

“The baby’s fine,” I answered and I couldn’t help but smile. “She’ll deliver her soon.”

[Her? Oh my! It’s a girl. Take care of her, son. We hurt her so much before. So the least thing we can do is keep her and her baby safe. At least that way, we can make it up to her.]

I nodded. “How about the investigation on dad–Mr. Monroe’s death. Mom?”

[The case has been announced closed. Klay Carver was almost held accountable for Kelly’s disappearance. I tried pulling some strings to make Klay Carver a suspect for Kelly’s disappearance but I think his connection got even more stronger. The officer who’s handling Kelly’s case dropped it.]

Clenching my jaws, I massaged my temple and shook my head. Of course, Klay Carver would do everything to save himself.
