Kelly’s POV
I held my breath as I entered Anderson’s mansion. Snow imdiately greeted with a kiss and hug and I did the sa. She’s going ho with tonight because she called yesterday using her father’s phone and told she misses .
I still can’t rember how shocked I was yesterday when I received a text ssage from Pierce.
“Let his ass go crazy looking for .” Emily said while lying on the long couch and eating an apple.
I was cooking our dinner when she ca ho looking so happy and satisfied. I don’t know what happened, but I realized it’s because of Klay. News about Klay’s syndicate organization was exposed to the authorities and so mbers were already arrested.
Emily was obviously involved but I don’t think it all just because of her. I rember what Klay said to in the fast food restaurant. He told he needs to do sothing before he surrenders to the police. I think he’s trying to bring down his own organization and I know it involves a lot of powerful people.
I turned the stove off and sat on the single couch beside the long couch. I saw an unread ssage on my phone and my heart skipped a beat after seeing Pierce’s na on the screen. Distracted, I glanced at Emily before opening the ssage and I choked with my own saliva when I read the ssage.
‘I miss you...’
My heart started hamring inside my chest and I beca even more distracted. Emily noticed it and stole my phone worriedly, but when she read the ssage, she shot her brow up and smirked at .
“What is this behavior?”
My cheeks flushed and I didn’t know how to answer her. Pierce and I are not on good terms so I don’t know why he sent that ssage. Is he...drunk or?
Emily suddenly scoffed and shook her head as she handed back my phone. “Stop daydreaming, Kelly. It’s not from your loverboy.”
“Huh?” I accepted the phone and saw a new ssage.
My lips parted and I blinked multiple tis, trying to redeem my embarrassnt when I realized that Emily’s right. The ssage wasn’t from Pierce
‘I miss you, mommy...’
I cleared my throat and pressed my lips together.
“Mommy, I ssaged you using daddy’s cellphone.”
Embarrassnt washed over as I spotted Pierce walking down the stairs carrying Snow’s small bag. The pink colored and Barbie printed bag doesn’t suit the aura surrounding him. His presence was too strong and dark and his slightly wet hair makes him more attractive.
“Mommy, why did you not reply to ?”
I bit my bottom lip and glanced at Snow before I bore my eyes at Pierce again. I don’t know but I want to stare at his face.
“Mommy, don’t stare at daddy. Talk to .”
Snow’s much higher voice and palms on my cheek woke up.
I bore my eyes at her and smiled nervously. My heart skipped a beat when Pierce’s gaze landed on .
“Let’s go, pumpkin. Do you wanna go to the park first?”
Snow’s eyes twinkled. “Yes! Daddy, we’re going to the park. Co with us.”
I looked at Pierce as he started walking towards us. I was so confident that he’d decline because I know he’s angry at but I was shocked when he carried Snow and smiled at her as he answered... “Of course, princess. Daddy would love to go to the mall with princess.”
Snow clapped her hands as she looked at . “Mommy?”
Their gazes were on and I was pressured to nod even when I’m not really sure if I want him to co with us. I won’t be able to act freely because I would think of him and that would be so awkward.
I flinched when Pierce’s eyes dropped on .
“I’ll drive you ho.”
I tilted my head, hesitant. “I...brought my car.”
He nodded. “Give the key. I’ll drive it.”
I stared at him. “What about later? When you’re going ho?”
He shrugged his shoulders. “I’ll ask soone to get my car or I’ll just take a cab.”
“Why don’t you sleep with us, daddy?”
We both turned to Snow. I can feel it. She’s still pairing up with her daddy.
“Daddy can’t stay with you tonight, princess. But soon, we’ll live in the sa house.”
Snow gasped excitedly. “Really? With mommy?”
Pierce smiled and kissed her cheek. I bit my bottom lip while watching them. It didn’t take long until we decided to leave but before that, I went greet Mrs. Anderson who’s watching us with softness in her eyes. I was so engrossed by my daughter and her father that I forgot to greet her.
“Take care, Kelly. I hope you can spend ti with us soon.”
I smiled at her and nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
She nodded and kissed my cheek again before I followed Pierce and Snow to the garage. Mrs. Anderson sent to the door and watched us as Pierce opened the door of the passenger seat for .
I was actually shocked because I thought he’d want Snow on the passenger, but it’s safer for her this way, so I believe that’s the reason.
“Which park?”
I looked at him as I locked my seatbelt. “Uh... The Greens.”
He nodded and started the engine. Snow started singing at the back and I can’t help but to sing along with her. She was enjoying it and I was too. We reached the park and stayed there for almost two hours when it suddenly started raining. Emily’s condo unit, where I’m staying, is closer, so we went there. It’s still awkward but I invited Pierce in.
“Rain rain go away...” Snow sang sleepily until she completely fell asleep. Pierce carried her to the bedroom and went back to the living area where I was waiting.
The rain hasn’t stopped and I think it won’t stop tonight. I failed to check the weather but there was a warning about a sudden heavy rain tonight.
“I’m going.”
I imdiately pulled myself up. “Stay for tonight.”
I saw him stiffen as I stared at his back. I pressed my lips together and cleared my throat. “Emily’s not going ho tonight. You can...sleep with Snow and I’ll sleep in Emily’s room.”
I was expecting him to decline, but when he slowly faced , I felt my breathing hitch. He stared at darkly as he clenched his jaws. “On second thought...I think I’m gonna stay. You have a lot of explaining to do, my ex-wife.”
