Kelly’s POV
The pain she inflicted on when she told to stay away from her family is still here but it’s not enough for to treat her badly. Even after everything she said to , I still found myself walking towards her to welco her.
I slightly bowed my head, showing respect. “Good day, Mrs. Anderson.”
“Sorry for the urgent appointnt.”
I shook my head, “It’s okay, Mrs. Anderson.”
Her eyes were hesitant as she looked into my eyes before glancing at my baby bump. I pressed my lips together as my heart skipped a beat. The grandmother of the child inside is standing in front of . I didn’t know this could be awkward.
“How’s your baby?”
I don’t know what to say to her. Her question shocked . I was expecting her to lash out on just like what Lexi did. Or irritate just like Emily. I didn’t know she would ask that and now I’m starting to fear the sound that the door chi creates.
“If it’s a girl, she would surely look like you,” Mrs. Anderson added.
I averted my gaze. “I’m sorry, but...is that why you ca here?”
When I heard her sigh worriedly, I looked at her again. She looked around before she looked into my eyes intently again.
“I need to talk to you, Kelly. This is important.”
There was sothing inside that’s telling to refuse but I found myself nodding. I turned my back and walked towards my office while I felt her trailing .
I don’t know for what reason she wants to talk to , but if it’s about Pierce again, she should know that her son already gave up on chasing .
“Do you want sothing to drink?” I asked, unable to hide the coldness in my voice.
She smiled and shook her head. When she sat on the couch, I sat in front of her.
“Before we talk about the reason why I’m here, I wanna ask you sothing. I hope you won’t mind.”
“My answer will depend on your question, Mrs. Anderson.”
She nodded, staring at my face. “Are you happy?”
My forehead creased. I am happy with my life. I know so might judge for accepting Klay in my life. Aside from the fact that he’s my stepbrother, it hasn’t been long since Pierce and I divorced, but I’m truly happy.
“I am,” I answered, not taking my eyes off of her to show her how confident I am.
“What about you father? Where is he?”
My father? Right! She’s friends with my dad.
“He’s... He’s fine, Mrs. Anderson. He’s abroad. Currently on vacation.”
She shook her head as worry crossed her eyes. She opened her bag and showed a piece of paper inside a white envelope.
“Kelly, sothing is going on with your father.”
My heart raced. “Huh?”
I took the paper from her and read the ssage on it.
‘You’re the only one I can trust. Help .’
I shook my head and put the letter on the coffee table as I looked at Mrs. Anderson again. “Are you saying my father sent this? Why would he trust you more than his own daughter?”
“Maybe because you don’t trust him, Kelly.”
That hit . I felt sothing inside aching. It’s my heart. The hatred I showed him created a wound in his heart. He doesn’t know that I’ve learned to forgive him even without noticing it.
“Kelly, he never contacted all these years. And the first ssage he sent was this. Do you know where he is?”
I shook my head again, unable to believe the letter. It was printed but I felt the need and desperation. However, I don’t wanna believe that he was the one who sent it. My father is safe. Klay assured that.
“This wasn’t from him. Maybe this is just a prank. Why would he send sothing like that? And who uses letters like that when he can just send you a text ssage?”
“Because no one would suspect that he would use this to ask for help?”
I squeezed my eyes closed, completely lost for words. I don’t wanna believe her but the circumstances are telling to believe the letter. My father... I hated him because he married another woman. I was so brokenhearted that I forgot he was hurting too. Maybe he couldn’t bear the sadness of losing my mom, so he tried to find another woman who could make him happy because I failed to give him that as his daughter.
I need to leave and go to my father’s house abroad. If he’s really in desperate need of help, I will make sure that he won’t be disappointed in his daughter again. I’ve wasted too much ti. That’s enough.
I grabbed my phone and ordered a ticket online. Mrs. Anderson was staring at the whole ti, watching my reaction.
I looked her in the eyes and nodded, “Thank you.”
She smiled, “Do you need soone to accompany you? I will tell Pierce to go with you.”
I stilled because of her offer. Rembering how she angrily told to stay away from her son, I slowly shook my head.
“I can do this alone, Mrs. Anderson. Thank you again for telling this.”
She nodded and opened her lips to speak again but I received a confirmation about the ticket I reserved online. All I need now is to prepare and go to the airport to finally check on my father.
“I-I should take my leave now. I just ca to tell you that. Take care.”
I watched her as she gracefully walked out of my office, leaving the letter that my father sent to her. I took a deep breath before I called Yara to tell her to manage the shop for the anti. I caressed my baby bump as I reserved a taxi. I was in such a rush that I only brought my bag but when I reached the airport, I was shocked to see Klay standing in the drop off area as if waiting for soone.
Why is he here?
