Phoebe’s POV frёewebnoѵēl.com
I was watching Snow, sleeping peacefully on her bed. She cried an hour ago, looking for her mommy but I couldn’t do anything. I want to do something but I promised Kelly. I trust her that she can resolve this on her own. I know her. She’s kind but she won’t like it if I intervene even if I have a reason.
“Don’t you think you should tell your brother about Miss Kelly?”
I looked at Luke when I saw him sitting on the couch when I was about to leave. As much as I want to stay here, I can’t. My family will look for me. They might discover about Snow and I want Kelly to come back and personally tell us about Snow.
“I promised Kelly and I trust that she could end this mess her way.”
“Doesn’t matter if it takes her long before she comes back?”
I looked him in the eyes. “You’re friends with my brother, right? Why won’t you tell him?”
He looked away and sipped on his coffee. “I don’t have the rights.”
“Same goes for me,” I said and gripped my bag, glancing at the bedroom’s closed door. “Keep her safe. If she wakes up in the middle of the night and looks for me, just call me.”
I didn’t wait for his response. I went out of the apartment and was shocked when I saw a man standing in front of Kelly’s apartment. Beside him was a woman who kept on asking me about Kelly and myself for the past few days. I think her name is Mary.
“It’s you again, kid. Where’s Elle? I haven’t seen her for three days.”
I looked at the woman. I want to growl at her and tell her that I’m not a kid but the tall man, wearing eyeglasses, made my heart skip a beat. Why is a swimming champion standing in front of Kelly’s apartment?
I know him. I know him very, very well. Caleb Walter, a man just three years older than my brother, was a swimming champion. He was never defeated when he was still in college and he’s my inspiration. The reason why I joined the swimming team.
“Hey kid!” The woman snapped her fingers in front of my face.
I sucked my breath and glared at her before I looked at Caleb Walter again. I cleared my throat. “H-How...How do you know Ke—Elle, Mr. Walter?”
Good thing Luke gave me a heads up about Kelly’s situation although we both don’t have any idea why she changed her identity. And damn! Did I just stutter?
His forehead creased. His deep black orbs were mesmerizing me. God! I didn’t know I’d see him in person.
“How do you know me, should be the question, Miss.”
My lips parted. Not only his face and appearance, even his voice is handsome.
I cleared my throat and offered my hand. “I’m Phoebe. Elle is my sister.”
“SISTER?” The loud woman asked, shocked. “Elle said she’s an only child.”
I grimaced and rolled my eyes. I want to suppress my bitchy attitude but this woman got on my nerves, when I saw her standing next to Caleb Walter.
