Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce)

Where We Used to Go Kelly's

POV

I was checking the lists of the flowers that will be delivered to my shop next. week. I don't know how Klay did that but he was able to buy a shop that can be converted to flowershop. He told me about it just this morning and now I'm excited to open my own business where My phone suddenly rang. It was an unregistered number. Thinking it was from the suppliers, I quickly answered the call.

"Hello?"

[Kelly, this is Pierce's mom.]

My heart instantly raced because of that familiar voice. I swallowed hard

before I pulled myself up, bit my bottom lip and walked towards the window.

"Y-Yes, Mrs. Anderson?"

She has always been kind to me and she shouldn't get involved with my anger towards her son. I treasure her and treat her like my own mother and disrespecting her is a big no to me.

[Can we meet, Kelly?]

Meet? For what? Although it shocked me, I slowly nodded as if she's in front of me. "Of course, Mrs. Anderson."

I heard her sighed. [Thank you. I'll text you the address after this call. I'll be waiting, Kelly.]

For some reason, I felt a strange burden in my heart. Meeting her would either mean she misses me or she has another thing on her sleeve. I'm just hoping it doesn't concern Pierce but who am I kidding. Pierce was the only one who made us connected before. After the call ended, I immediately received a message from her. I took a deep sigh the same time Klay entere e house. His eyes immediately found mine and just like that, he realized I wanted to say something.

""What is it?"

Aside from my plan or moving out, I need to tell him that I'm gonna meet someone. However, I shouldn't tell him that it was Mrs. Anderson.

"I need to go out for a while."

He walked towards me with a creased forehead. "I can go with you."

I immediately shook my head, "I can do this alone, Klay. Besides, you have a meeting, right? My father's business in this country needs you."

He clenched his jaws, "I can always ditch that damn meeting for you, Kelly."

"I said I can do this alone. We'll talk about something when I come back, Klay. Just wait patiently and let me live my life normally. I know there's no threat in my life anymore."

"Still..." he paused and took a deep sigh before he slowly nodded. "Fine. But I'l pick you up later."

1 turned my back on him without answering. He's overprotective. I know he just wants me safe but his ways are so wrong. Why can't he understand that?

After showering, I went out of the house while Klay watched me leave. He was standing by the door frame with his arms crossed against his chest. His forehead was still creased and his eyes were coldly shooting me cold stares again.

I called a taxi after I frowned at him. Don't you dare follow me, Klay!

Mrs. Anderson was already waiting in the restaurant when I came. It was so rude of me to keep her waiting so I bowed my head and

immediately apologized. However, she doesn't seem pleased. She just lifted her right arm and signaled me to sit. I swallowed hard and obliged.

"Thanks for coming, Kelly."

I nodded at her and smiled awkwardly. She took a deep sigh before she glanced at my stomach. It made me anxious so I hid my belly using my bag. My baby bump isn't that obvious yet but I guess she already heard about that

news.

"Congratulations, Kelly. I'm happy for you, I'm genuinely happy for you for finding someone you truly love..."

My lips parted. I don't know where this conversation is leading to but I'm starting to hate this already.

She looked down and when she looked at me again, her eyes were both strict. and worried. "Kelly... I wanted to meet you because I want to talk to you about something."

""Mrs. Anderson..."

"Can you....stay away from

av son?"

I felt a lump in my throat. She...hates me already.

"You're going to be a mother. I know someday you'll understand why I'm asking. you this. Pierce...is my precious son. I love him so much, Kelly. And I almost lost myself when he got into an accident...because of you."

I looked down and bit my bottom lip. I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. Not because she wants me to stay away from her son but because she sees me

now as a threat.

"I-I'm sorry," I whispered with a hoarse voice.

"You already have someone in your life and he's getting married. I just...don't want my son to get involved with you again. I hope you don't take this personally, Kelly. I'm just protecting my son...

and also you. You know that you're important to me, right? I just don't want the other people to think that something is going on between you and my son-"

"I don't have any intention of ruining your son's life, Mrs. Anderson," I said after gathering my courage. "Yes, you're right! I already have someone in my life. I already have someone to protect. I didn't come back to ruin your son's life..."

I gave her a smile even if it hurt too much. Did she just treat me well before because I was married to her son? Did she genuinely care for me before or it was all just for a show? I can't believe I'd be betrayed again.

She slowly nodded as if she's relieved. "Thank you for understanding, Kelly. I really-"

"I need to leave now, Mrs. Anderson," I cut her off again without the intention of disrespecting her. I smiled awkwardly and grabbed my bag. "I have things to do. I'm currently building my own business. So..."

She smiled a little. "Goodluck on your business.

I nodded and turned my back. As soon as I turned my back, tears rolled down my cheeks. I quickly wiped it before I started walking away. Why did I even think that she wants to see me because she misses me? Hopelessly pathetic!

I was lost in thoughts when I rode a taxi. My conversation with Mrs. Anderson bothers me so much and it brought back the pain in the past. I never wanted to get mad at her but I'm starting to dislike her now. I feel like her treatment to me before was fake and I was so stupid for not seeing that.

Shock washed over me when I realized where my feet brought me. My lips parted as I slowly sat on the wooden bench just in front of the lake where I used to visit with Pierce every summer. The memories made my heart ache even more. I couldn't help but to blame Pierce "Kels..."

My heart raced as that familiar voice filled my ear. I panicked and pulled myself up. A familiar man was standing behind me with a shocked face. His face alone can open up the wounds that I've been wanting to heal. Pierce...

I sucked my breath and walked past him to leave but he was quick to grab my wrist to stop me from leaving, making me sadder and angry.
