Kelly’s POV free𝑤ebnovel.com
I held my breath as I entered Anderson’s mansion. Snow immediately greeted me with a kiss and hug and I did the same. She’s going home with me tonight because she called me yesterday using her father’s phone and told me she misses me.
I still can’t remember how shocked I was yesterday when I received a text message from Pierce.
“Let his ass go crazy looking for me.” Emily said while lying on the long couch and eating an apple.
I was cooking our dinner when she came home 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 some members were already arrested.
Emily was obviously involved but I don’t think it all just because of her. I remember what Klay said to me in the fast food restaurant. He told me he needs to do something 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 message on my phone and my heart skipped a beat after seeing Pierce’s name on the screen. Distracted, I glanced at Emily before opening the message and I choked with my own saliva when I read the message.
‘I miss you...’
My heart started hammering inside my chest and I became even more distracted. Emily noticed it and stole my phone worriedly, but when she read the message, she shot her brow up and smirked at me.
“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 message. Is he...drunk or?
Emily suddenly scoffed and shook her head as she handed me back my phone. “Stop daydreaming, Kelly. It’s not from your loverboy.”
“Huh?” I accepted the phone and saw a new message.
My lips parted and I blinked multiple times, trying to redeem my embarrassment when I realized that Emily’s right. The message wasn’t from Pierce
‘I miss you, mommy...’
I cleared my throat and pressed my lips together.
“Mommy, I messaged you using daddy’s cellphone.”
Embarrassment washed over me 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 me?”
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 me.”
Snow’s much higher voice and palms on my cheek woke me up.
I bore my eyes at her and smiled nervously. My heart skipped a beat when Pierce’s gaze landed on me.
“Let’s go, pumpkin. Do you wanna go to the park first?”
Snow’s eyes twinkled. “Yes! Daddy, we’re going to the park. Come with us.”
