My own words disappeared in the air as I realized what I said. Pierce glanced at me and even his eyes: were showing happiness, I could still see confusion in it.
I cleared my throat. “Uhm. I mean…Snow treats you as her own father.”
He clenched his jaws and nodded before he gave me a smile but I know it was a forced one. He’s starting to doubt my actions and how I address him as Snow’s father. Twice.
He cleared his throat. “How’s Klay Carver? Is he…still bothering you?”
I bit my bottom lip and shook my head. “He’s not contacting me anymore. After the fire incident, he didn’t contact me again.”
I saw how his eyes sharpened. “Do you think he was the one behind the fire incident?”
“I don’t know. I. blamed him but he fiercely denied that he did it.”
“I can help you, Kelly. Only if you allow me to do so…”
“You don’t need to.” I shook my head and sighed. “I already have someone investigating everything.
“Just…tell me if you still need something.”
I just nodded. The atmosphere has be e awkward so I just squeezed my eyes closed and decided to sleep. Pierce just woke me up when we reached our destination.
I was in awe after I saw the place. The view is breathtaking.
Amazed, I got out of the car and watched the scenery in front of me. The road was elevated and from where I’m standing, I can see the breathtaking view of the sea and even the whole resort.
Pierce stood beside me. “You like it?”
I glanced at him and smiled as I nodded. “Yes. It’s breathtaking.”
“Let’s go. They’re already inside.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll carry our bags.”
