Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 White Roses

Kelly’s POV

The morning was calm and bright. I was arranging some bouquets when the door chime created a soft noise and someone entered the shop. I prepared a sweet smile and was about to greet our first customer for the day when I realized who it was.

Wearing a black tshirt, faded jeans, black rubber shoes and an exposed necklace with a thick chain and anchor as the pendant, Klay entered with a straight face. He was already walking towards my way.

He looked so handsome in his casual attire. I even saw a woman enter the shop after him, looking at him shamelessly, pretending to be interested in flowers.

I felt awkward around him because of our argument but I gave him a welcoming smile, “Good morning. Are you looking for a particular flower?”

He stopped a meter away from me and roamed his eyes around. My lips parted as I realized he’s too tall and the level of my eyesight just reached his neck.

“What flower symbolizes a sincere apology?”

An apology? He must’ve upset Emily and he’s trying to coax her. I can just give him a flower

I smiled again, “The perfect flower for that is white roses.”

He nodded. “Can you personally arrange it for me?”

“Yeah, sure.”

I started picking the white roses while he was watching me. I couldn’t help but to feel anxious because he’s not taking his eyes off of me. He was watching me intently as if he’s thinking about something and I have the answer.

After arranging the bouquet, I handed it to him. He accepted it while looking straight into my eyes and after a few seconds, he handed it back to me.

My lips parted in shock as I stared back into his eyes.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered just enough for me to hear.

“H-Huh?”

“I’m sorry for raising my voice. I’m sorry for trying to control your life. I’m sorry for making you feel suffocated. I never intended to hurt you, Kelly. It was just...I don’t know how to deal with our situation. I was wrong. Can you still forgive me?”

The sincerity in his eyes was too obvious. He was looking at me with regrets and I care. Who am I to reject his apology? He was just trying to protect me and I understand that part. He was worried and has the right because he’s my step brother and I was kidnapped twice. It’s natural for him to be so uptight for my sake.

“I said something unforgivable too. Can you forgive me?” I asked back. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

To my shock, he gave me a smile. A sincere smile that was very rare to see. When was the last time I saw him smile like this? I don’t know but seeing his smile now, I felt bad because I was wrong about him again. He’s not a monster. He’s still a human who was badly hurt that he tried to protect his heart by acting so cold and ruthless. Inside his dangerous mask was the person I learned to trust before.
