Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Never Letting Go

Pierce’s POV

I couldn’t find Kelly again. I kept on going back to the place she’s working but she wasn’t there. It’s almost a week since she disappeared and I don’t know what to do anymore.

I’m certain that it was her who I saw and when I asked someone working in that company, I confirmed that someone named Elle Young is working there. She’s here but I couldn’t find her. Is she hiding from me? I don’t know. If it’s true that she can’t remember me, then she has no reason to avoid me. But if she does remember, why is she doing this?

“Let her be. She’s old enough to know what she’s doing.”

My forehead creased when I heard dad say that to mom when mom told him that Phoebe has been constantly leaving the house almost every night. She’s sneaking and dad seemed to not give a damn. I was walking down the stairs when I heard them and I’m instantly pissed because of dad’s answer.

“What do you mean? She’s just 21 years old. We can’t let her do this. What if she’s—”

“Just trust her.”

Trust her. I laughed sarcastically, earning their attention. I gritted my teeth as I continued walking down the stairs. My eyes never leave my dad’s empty gaze.

“You don’t really care about your children, huh?”

“Pierce, don’t talk that way to your father.”

“Why won’t I, mom? His younger child, a lady, has been sneaking out almost every night and that’s his reaction?”

“Pierce!” Mom walked towards me and caressed my arm, trying to stop me but I shook my head in disappointment.

“You are both my children, and I know how I raised you.” Dad’s cold remark made me laugh.

“You know us? Then tell me now. Am I lying when I said that Kelly is alive?”

He didn’t say anything. He just sipped on his coffee, completely ignoring me.

“DAD!”

“Do you think I’d want a son who can’t even control his own feelings? I don’t want you to end up losing your mind just because of a woman, Pierce!”

“That woman is my life—”

“That woman is fixing her life and look what you’re doing? You’re ruining yours. Do you think she’d take you back if she saw how messy your mind and life are?”

My jaws dropped. Not because of what he said but because of the message it gives. He just...indirectly said that Kelly is alive. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I fought back his cold stares.

My dad has always been cold. He’s just warm and soft to my mother. There was even a time that I thought I wasn’t his real son but considering how he reacted to what Phoebe has been doing...Is he really our father?

“What did you say?” I asked, weakly.

Dad fixed his gaze on the tabloid again and I was about to growl at him when the door swung open. Phoebe entered and she looked really stressed. Her eyes are swollen too.

My forehead creased as I rushed towards her. “What happened to you?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“Your eyes are swollen, Phoebe! What the fck are you saying?”

She glanced at mom who rushed beside us too before she looked at me again. “Remember when I disappeared?”
