Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 172

***Kelly’s POV 

“What will you do now? Pierce asked worriedly. 

I pressed my lips together and took a deep sigh. “1 actually don’t know… I don’t know anymore.” 

“Why don’t you start getting yourself checked and get some rest. You shouldn’t stress yourself too much. 

I stared at his face. “Can you let Snow stay at your house for the meantime?” 

He clenched his jaws. “Whatever you want for her, but I’m worried about you too. I can’t just leave you here especially after you told me about your situation.” 

I smiled and caressed his arm. “I’m fine, Pierce. I still have to work and besides, Emily and Yara are here 

“Do you want me to send Ana back here? So you have another person to rely on?” 

I shook my head. “She should stay with Snow.” 

He s 

sighed and shook his head. “I’m just really worried.” 

“I won’t tell you to stop worrying but I assure you that I will take care of myself. I won’t get hurt!” 

“Promise me,” he whispered as he stared into my eyes Intensely. 

“I promise.” 

He moved closer to me and gently cupped my cheeks. He rested his forehead against mine and I squeezed my eyes closed at the contact. After all of these, I will tell him everything and will not leave anything. I will accept whatever his reaction would be. Be it anger, pain, disappointment or what. 

The next day, I decided to visit the sunflower plantation of the Fosters. I learned that there’s a helipad at properties of the Fosters in the province so I decided to use a helicopter. It was Emily’s actually and she’s with me. 

It didn’t take us long until my eyes feasted on the beautiful sunflower farm. Even Emily looked very fascinated because of the beautiful flowers. 

I want to know the citation of the farm that’s why I visited here. I’m heiress of the Fosters‘ riches but I don’t really need this. I just heard that most of the residents of this province knew my mom’s family. Some are even old workers. I’d fish information from them and I’m gonna start now. 

“That’s the ancestral house of the Foster family, Miss Kelly. The current housekeeper is the daughter of 

Who dán belp! 

the previous housekeeper.” 

I looked at my bodyguard. “The previous housekeeper knows my mom, right?” 

“Yes, miss. According to the information I gathered, she was your mom’s previous nanny.” 

I took a deep breath and nodded. I started walking towards the ancestral house. The housekeeper 

opened the door for me and the maids immediately bowed their heads as soon as they saw me. They’re lining up in front of me and I admit it makes me uncomfortable. 

“Good day, Miss Kelly. I am Felicia, the current housekeeper.” 

I nodded and gave her a small smile but my smile immediately faded when I saw the man standing in the middle of the staircase, resting his arm against the railing. 

He immediately flashed a smile after seeing me. “Hi, cousin.” 

My forehead creased. “What are you doing here, Matt?” 

He shrugged his head and started walking down the stairs. He was whistling until he stopped in front of me. “The city is toxic and I prefer fresh air. How ‘bout you?” 

I gritted my teeth. “I won’t trust you, Matt.” 

He glanced behind me and smiled. “That’s a good defense. Why don’t you just introduce me to the beautiful lady behind you?” 

My forehead creased again. I heard Emily’s exaggerated groan 

“Why don’t we get inside now and get straight to our intention of coming here, Kelly? I think this place has become polluted too. Too bad for the flowers.” 

Matt chuckled and looked at me again. “I can help, Kelly. I’m not as bad as you think.” 

many 

I lifted my chin and looked him straight in the eye. “Prove it, Matt. My trust has been shattered so times. Prove to me that you will help seek justice for my mother’s death. That way I can trust you.” 

His lips parted. It seems like he doesn’t know that there’s foul play in my mother’s death but why was he at my mother’s grave, then? I don’t know his intention, but I will not give him my trust that easily. 

A Hideous Past 

Kelly’s POV 

“What do you mean?” Matt’s face darkened and he clenched his jaws. It looks like he doesn’t have any idea about what’s happening in the family he’s trying to protect. I understand him. As part of the Foster family, he wanted to keep it intact. But unfortunately for him, the family has been ruined a long time ago. I laughed sarcastically. “Will you still help me if I tell you that your parents might be involved?” 

He took a single step forward. “What do you mean, Kelly?” 

“Don’t try to help me without knowing what’s happening behind the curtain, Matt. You might end up ruining yourself.” 

I walked past him but he firmly held my elbow, gripping it tight. “Just fcking tell me what’s happening in this family, Kelly.” 

“It’s for you to find out,” I answered coldly and pulled my arm back. I entered the house completely as Emily and Felicia followed me. 

“This is the study room, Miss Kelly. Everything valuable was being kept inside this room. This She grabbed a thick photo album as she smiled at me. “Compiled here are the photos of your mom and her siblings on their special occasions.” 

I stared at her and sat on the couch. She handed me the photo album which I gladly accepted while Emily was roaming around the room. 

I caressed the thick cover of the photo album. It was obviously personalized since it has letters engraved on it. Foster. I’d like to be part of this family since I lost mine, but they don’t want me so I had no choice but to accept it. 

“Felicia «ed using a calm and sad voice. “Can you tell me about this family?” 

I 

“Sure, Miss Kelly.” 

I slowly opened the photo album. The first photo was of two people, an old man and woman. 

“Those are your great grandmother and great grandfather. They died in a car accident together. Leaving their two children. Your grandma and grandpa.” 

I flipped the page and I saw a photo of a familiar woman. My grandma. My mom’s mother. Beside her was a man who resembled her. I know things about my grandmother. She was a single parent. She became a mistress of her husband without realizing it and after she learned that, she left him and raised her children alone. She didn’t even let her children carry their father’s name. 

When I flipped the page again, a photo of my mom welcomed me. Tears pooled in the corner of my eyes My mom was so young but my heart recognized that it’s her. 

“Your mom was a bright child, Miss Kelly. She was adored by your parents the most. Reason why your uncle Connor and aunt Sara started hating her at a young age.” 

I pressed my trembling lips. “She was so precious, Felicia. My mom looked very kind.” 

“She was. My mother told me how kind she was.” 

1 squeezed my eyes closed and flipped the page after opening my eyes again. It’s mom again, wearing a party hat and blowing the candles of a huge cake. 

“Mom..” I sobbed as I continued flipping the page until I could no longer find any photo of my mother. 

“Y–Your mom was abducted at the age of 12, Miss Kelly Your grandparents did everything to find her and when they did…the kidnappers tried to flee away with your mom until the car exploded…with your mom inside.” 

My hands trembled. I feel so heartbroken. My heart was clenching just by thinking about what mom had gone through. 

“My mother regretted everything, Miss Kelly. While the Foster family is mourning for your mom, my own mother was suffering alone. She was even blamed for your mom’s abduction.” 

I shook my head and wiped my tears. I looked at Felicia. “No, Felicia. My mom didn’t die that day.” 

She nodded and smiled. “She didn’t, Miss Kelly. And you are the living proof.” 

I sniffed and caressed my mom’s photo again before I lifted my face. “Did your mother tell about what happened before?”

Felicia became alert. She roamed her eyes around and it landed on Emily who’s examining the shelf of
