Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 116

Fight For What You Deserve 

Kelly’s POV 

Phoebe walked towards us and sat on the single couch. Pierce and I are just watching her. She crossed her arms and legs before she smirked again and tilted her head. 

Pierce sighed and shook his head. “Stop it, Phoebe. We’re not dating.” 

Phoebe’s smile slowly faded. She fixed her eyes on me and when I nodded, disappointment crossed her 

eyes. 

I sighed. I couldn’t believe her reaction. She looked so sad that I’m not dating her brother. She pressed her lips together and sat on the couch like a sulking child. I had no choice but to leave her at that and just continued eating. 

Pierce and I couldn’t talk again. He didn’t open another conversation and I didn’t initiate either. After our dinner, he immediately cleaned up. 

“I…should leave now.” 

I nodded at him and smiled. “Thank you for the dinner.”

He gave me a smile too before he turned to Phoebe with a crumpled face. “Let’s go, brat.” 

Phoebe shook her head. “I want to bond with Kelly.” 

“She’s tired, Phoebe. She needs to rest.” 

“But I want to be with her. I won’t take long.” 

Pierce shook his head and sighed. “I’ll wait for you in the car.” 

“Pierce!” 

“She has a daughter who’s waiting for her at home, Phoebe. Be responsible.” 

Phoebe rolled her eyes. “Fine! Thirty minutes.” 

“Fifteen.” 

“What? That’s too short!” 

“Ten?” 

“Fifteen, then.” 

I was just biting my lip while watching them. Pierce turned to me again and nodded. I nodded and smiled back before he left. When he’s gone, Phoebe looked at me and smiled, 

“How are you, Kelly?” 

I smiled at her. “You didn’t show up for almost a week, 

She frowned and sighed. “I was grounded.” 

“Because…” I trailed off. I have a hunch that it’s because of what happened to her because of me. 

“Because I lied to them and sneaked out to see Snow while you’re still at that island.” 

I took a deep breath. Just as I expected. 

“Don’t blame yourself, Kelly. It’s not your fault.”

2/3 

“Thank you for taking care of her while I was away, Phoebe.” I smiled at her as I stared into her eyes. 

She smiled. “You know my dad is very mysterious, right? He’s cold and all the negative but I know deep inside he cares…” 

I don’t know but I feel like she’s opening up to me. I just stared at her face as I listened to her story. 

“…I feel like he knows something and he just chose to hide it from us.” 

“Why do you think so?” 

She lifted her face and looked at me. “Because I didn’t see the shock in his eyes when I told them you were taken to an isolated island.” 

My lips parted. Could it be…he saw me that day at the airport? 

Phoebe chuckled. “And you know what’s funny? Pierce couldn’t see that dad cares for him so much…so much that I feel neglected.” 

“Phoebe…” 

“I joined swimming…and I brought a medal home…and yet I didn’t see him smiling at me. My dad is very cold and…distant. I feel like I’m not his daughter…” 

“Phoebe, don’t say that. I know your dad and I also know that he cares for you and your brother. 

She chuckled and shook her head. “I’m sorry. Why did I even bring this up to you? I came here to check on you. To make sure that you’re okay and…happy.” 

I smiled at her. “I am happy, Phoebe.” 

She swallowed hard and stared into my eyes again. “Can’t you love my brother again?” 

I was shocked by her question. A–Again? 

“I know how you feel about him, Kelly. I saw it…in your eyes. I saw how you look at him. I saw how deep your feelings were… Those are the same emotions I could see in dad’s eyes whenever he looks at mom. Genuine…and pure.”
