Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 146 Clarissa Pregnant with His Child?

Finished

Kelly’s chest heaved with each breath, her anger making it difficult to calm herself. “You should focus on your daughter and your family. If something like this happens again–if she ends up dead somewhere, don’t expect me to lift a finger to help.”

Her words were harsh, filled with raw frustration.

Eric stared at her, disbelief and shock painted across his face.

It felt as though they had become strangers, completely caught off guard by the shocking revelations

between them.

Kelly had witnessed a side of Eric that was completely foreign to her–ugly and unrecognizable. Likewise, Eric now seemed to view Kelly in an entirely different way.

The police stepped in, ushering the reporters out and ensuring that no one would spread any false claims. Each journalist signed a statement, assuring the truth would be upheld.

Once the scene had cleared, Kelly leaned her head against Zev’s shoulder, the headache from the stress hammering at her temples. “I’m sorry…” she murmured, feeling the weight of her actions. She realized she had gotten too involved and nearly dragged Zev into unnecessary trouble.

“Don’t apologize,” Zev said softly, pulling her gently toward him. Despite the injury to his leg, he managed to hold her, offering a comforting embrace before setting her down. He smiled warmly at her, his voice soft. “You’re too thin. We should get something to eat.”

He helped her awkwardly toward the couch, sitting beside her as he checked the burn on her foot. “Still hurting?” he asked, concern evident in his voice.

Kelly shook her head. “It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt.”

“Liar,” Zev teased, his smile turning playful.

It was just like before–when they were in Solmaris. She always lied about being in pain, pretending everything was fine, trying to act tougher than she was.

“Are

you going to the Commendation Conference tomorrow?” Zev asked, a hint of doubt in his tone. He was starting to suspect that Kelly’s burn wasn’t as accidental as she made it seem.

“The Commendation Conference might be canceled,” Kelly said with a bitter laugh, lowering her gaze. “I hit Clarissa today at the hospital.”

“Clarissa doesn’t have the influence to stop something like that,” Zev said, attempting to ease her worries. “Did you really hit her? Well, good for you. Does your hand hurt?”

He took her hand and kissed her fingers lightly.

Kelly’s ears turned red with embarrassment, and without thinking, she playfully slapped Zev’s cheek. She had done it countless times before, but this time, she barely applied any force.

Zev wasn’t angry. If anyone else had slapped him, he would have reacted differently, but from his wife, it was endearing.

“Ms. Yeager, we regret to inform you that the city has decided to postpone tomorrow’s Commendation Conference due to scheduling conflicts. You’ll be notified when a new date is set.”

Kelly scoffed, immediately aware that this was Beau’s doing.

Zev, who had overheard the conversation, looked troubled. He had suspected Beau would try to block Kelly’s Commendation, but he hadn’t realized how effective Beau could be.

“Does Beau really have that much influence now?” Zev asked, trying to make sense of it all.

“He doesn’t hold that much power, but Clarissa is married to Zion, the heir to Seaville’s Lockhart Group, and she’s pregnant. That gives her a lot of sway,” Kelly explained with a tired sigh.

Zev, who had been handing Kelly a glass of water, nearly dropped it, spilling some onto his shorts.

“What?” Zev asked, eyes widening in disbelief. “Who’s pregnant? With whose child?”

Kelly quickly grabbed some tissues to clean the mess on his shorts, but the fabric of his shorts was extremely thin, and the water landed in an awkward spot.

As she wiped, she noticed some reaction.

Kelly glared at him. “Did you do that on purpose?”

Zev cleared his throat nervously. “It’s been quite restless lately….

Kelly ignored him, still annoyed.

Zev quickly changed the subject. “Wait, wait. Who’s Clarissa pregnant by? I missed that part.”

“It’s Zion, the heir to the Lockhart Group in Seaville. Clarissa’s his wife, and she’s pregnant. Mr. Wade’s been treating her like royalty,” Kelly explained again.

“That’s impossible!” Zev exclaimed, his hair standing on end. He nearly jumped to his feet, shocked. “What? How did that happen?”

Kelly looked at him in confusion. “What’s got you so worked up?”

“I–it’s just…” Zev stammered, his mind racing. “I know Zion. He got seriously injured during a mission and hasn’t even come home or met Clarissa. So how… how could she be pregnant?”

How could someone get pregnant without doing anything?

“I’m wondering the same thing,” Kelly said, recalling a conversation with Gary. “Mr. Wade has been so focused on Clarissa. Could the baby be his?”

Zev nearly choked on his drink. “Wait, no … Grandpa–I mean, Mr. Wade is over 70 now. That seems impossible.”
