Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 95

It’s Lonely 

Kelly’s POV 

No! No! I can’t let anyone ruin my plans. Yes! I expected this to happen since I know that Klay and Pierce are both VIP guests in this event and I have already planned about what I would do. However, the fact that the man I dearly loved and still love was standing in front of me with eyes full of happiness and longing is making my knees weak. 

“Kelly…” 

I pushed him a little and looked at him with a confused expression. 

I’m sorry, sir. Do I know you?” 

That’s it! You’re doing good, Kelly. You need to disregard your feelings for the sake of your freedom and your daughter’s safety. As long as Klay is off the hook, you won’t guarantee your baby’s safety. 

The voices in my head praised me for pretending not to know Pierce. And although it hurts my heart, I had 

to do this. 

“W–What?” He sucked his breath. He looked so shocked as he stared at me in disbelief. 

I shook my head. “Are you one of the guests, sir? Are you okay? Do you feel sick?” 

He shook his head. “No… No… This can’t be. I know you. Even if you’re wearing thick makeup, I know it’s you, Kelly.* 

I’m sorry, Pierce. I had to do this. 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, sir. 

I showed him my company ID. “My name is Elle Young and I am the Hospitality Coordinator hired for this event. Do you want me to accompany you inside?” 

He grabbed his hair and I saw how a lone tear escaped his eyes which he immediately wiped. 

“Please, don’t pretend. I know it’s you, Kelly. I know you too well.” 

Of course, he knows me too well. 

I opened my lips to speak when someone came, interrupting us. 

“Elle, ve been looking for you all over. Oh! Who is…” It was Mary. 

“He mistook me for someone else, Mary. I’ll just accompany our guest here.” 

“Okay!” 

After Mary left, I looked at Pierce again. Please, don’t make this hard for me, Pierce. I need to put myself and my daughter–our daughter on top of my priority. 

He swallowed hard and took a deep breath. When he turned his back and palmed his face, I caressed my chest where my heart was racing too much. 

He looked at me again and his eyes were lifeless again. “I’m sorry. I just… I think I’m just tired.” 

“Do you want me to accompany you inside, sir? We will prepare a private room so you can take a rest for a while.” 

He shook his head and grabbed his hair again. “1-1 need to leave.” 

201 

I just nodded as I watched him leave. My heart was still racing and as soon as I heard the door closed, I squeezed my eyes closed and sucked my breath. 

I wiped the tears that rolled down my cheek. It’s so hard to pretend not to know him when all I wanted was to hug him so tight as soon as I saw his face. 

After calming myself down, I went back inside and did everything not to run into Klay. If I see him up close, I don’t know what I’d do to him. My emotions might explode and I might ruin my own plans. 

I I WAS sitting on my swivel chair while writing a report when I received an email from my dad’s lawyer. 

A smile crept on my lips as I read that the document I asked him to do is now in processed. The ownership of my dad’s mansion will be put on my name. Plus, I asked to reopen the case of my father and the investigation is ongoing secretly. 

It’s been a week since the auction event where I ran into Pierce who immediately recognized me. I was able to get away and pretend that he mistook me for someone else, but I know him. Pierce is kinda gullible but he’s smart. I know that he won’t drop the fact that he believed that it’s me. So I had to rush my plans before he did something ridiculous. 

“Talk about a smart move,” I whispered as I received another email confirming my bank loan.

I immediately transferred the money to another bank account that was owned by one of the shareholders. 

I two 

of my dad’s company. I bought shares from shareholders whereas the sum surpassed the share of 

the current CEO. This will automatically appoint me as the CEO and even if some of the board are on Klay’s side, they won’t be able to do anything because I have the highest share. 

Besides, I know he would make the company bankrupt so I have to do something about it before it happens. 

When I got home, Luke was sleeping on the couch and Snow was sitting on his lap, also asleep. 

I walked towards them and squatted beside the couch, staring at Snow. 

Baby, your daddy might do something to feed his curiosity. I don’t know what to do. 

“Miss Kelly…” 

I gav Luke a smile. “You worked hard again.” 

The corner of his lips rose as he looked down at Snow who’s sleeping in his arms. 

“I didn’t get to enjoy my childhood because I had to work early for my family. And I’m happy that I’m able to fulfill my childhood wish while taking care of Yuki.” 

“Why are you still single, Luke?” 

He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t have time to date.” 

Well, should I set him up with Mary? 

“I’ll carry her to the bed.”
