Betrayed by Husband, Divorced when Pregnant-Chapter 168 Sealing Promises

Kelly’s POV

“Can I ask you something?” Pierre broke the deafening silence between us. It’s been almost 5 minutes since he decided to stay but we’re just sitting on the couch across from each other, silent until he spoke just now.

I lifted my face and nodded. “Yes...”

“Did you ever think of telling me about Snow?”

I looked down and bit my bottom lip. Now, he’s ready.

“Yes,” I said, almost a whisper. “I always thought about telling you, but... I-I’m scared...”

“Scared of what?”

“Scared of your anger.”

I heard him sucked his breath. I squeezed my eyes and swallowed hard.

“You had a chance when we’re together after you ran away from Klay Carver. You had the chance when you came back and we met again. I never give you mixed signals, Kelly. I was wrong. I wronged you, but you said you already forgave me so I don’t understand why you had to hide the truth from me.”

I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to apologize again because I know it will only worsen the pain he’s feeling.

“Tell me, Kelly. Did my feelings scare you?”

“No,” I said with a hoarse voice and looked at him.

I saw pain in his eyes and I realized why I couldn’t bring myself to tell him. It’s because I can’t bear to see the pain in his eyes. I’ve been in love with him for so long and I’m still falling continuously.

“Then, why did you say you’re scared? Kelly, I love you so much and I’m willing to understand every million reasons you have, all because I have one reason to listen. I love you.”

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I smiled at him. “I love you so much too, Pierce. But I won’t deny the fact that I tried to hide her from you at first because I was heavily wounded. I’m afraid of trusting again and I’m sorry if my trust issues affected you and hurt you—”

“It doesn’t matter now,” he cut me off and stared into my eyes intensely.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and stared back at him. I don’t know what he’s thinking. I feel like there was something he wanted to say and he’s weighing my reaction, thinking if I’m ready to hear it.

Is he gonna take Snow away from me? Or perhaps, does he want us to break up? It hurts too much. Thinking about it hurts me that I started sobbing without a warning.

His lips parted and he stared at me in shock.

I laughed painfully and tried to wipe my tears that continued rolling down my cheeks. “D-Don’t mind me. I’m...fine.”

I can’t help it. Even when I’m trying to suppress my sobs, I can’t hide it. My cries intensified and I can no longer stop it. I continued crying like a child in front of him. Palms were on my face, hiding my tears while biting my lips to hide my sobs.

“Kelly...”

“D-Don’t mind me. I-I’ll understand if you don’t w-want me anymore. I-I will just leave and will never come back again—”

“Why would you leave?” The coldness in his voice made me cry harder.

“Did I tell you to leave?”

I bit my bottom lip and shook my head. “N-No, but that’s what I should do if you want to break up with me.”

“Why would I break up with you? I waited for you for so long, Kelly. I did not dream of having you again every single night just to let you go again. Hell be damned! You are mine!”

My heart started hammering inside my chest as I stared at his face. He was looking at me with a serious face and I couldn’t help but part my lips in shock while looking at him.

He clenched his jaws and slowly pulled himself up. My heartbeat doubled when he started walking the distance between us and kneeled in front of me.

I gasped and my eyes widened in shock. I cupped my mouth while watching him opening a velvet box before a beautiful diamond ring appeared before my eyes.

“P-Pierce...”

He licked his lips and swallowed hard. He looked confident but I can feel that he’s also nervous. The rain was still pouring heavily and loud but all I could hear was his voice and my heartbeat. I feel like everything around us disappeared and we’re in the middle of a beautiful paradise.

“I’m tired of this chasing game, Kelly. I know I told you that I’ll wait until you’re ready, but damn it! I can no longer wait. Had I known you’re carrying my child years ago, I would’ve forced myself to stay with you and never let you slip away...”

“P-Pierce, a-are you sure?”

“I’m sure as hell now. This isn’t like our first marriage, Kelly. I’ll make sure, this time, I’ll treasure you more, I’ll love you more, I’ll love you better...”

I smiled and wiped my tears. “Please don’t break my heart again.”

He shook his head as he clenched his jaws. “I won’t. It’s scary to break your heart, it breaks me too.”

He slowly took the ring from the box and extended his arm, asking for my hand. “Let’s forget about the past, Kelly. Let’s start a new life. You, me, Snow and our new baby. My best friend, my girlfriend, my ex-wife, will you be my wife again? I’ll marry you in any way possible.”

I chuckled and nodded at him while biting my trembling lips.

He shook his head and held my hand. “Word, Kelly. I need your word.”

“Yes...” I whispered and smiled again. “Yes, Pierce. Let’s get married again. Let’s stop this chase and start out forever.”

He smiled and slipped the ring on my finger. I saw a lone tear escaping his eyes before he hugged me and kissed my hair. He immediately pulled away and held my chin before he claimed my lips in a deep and passionate kiss that I really missed so badly.
