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

Letting Go Kelly's

POV

I don't wanna act affected even when Pierce's cold stares really affects me. He already saw me with Klay and he just stared like I'm some random stranger. However, Lexi who's by his side immediately wrapped her arm around his arm after seeing me looking at them. "Kelly, we can just find another restaurant if-"

"Let's just stay," I said and slowly lifted my face to look at Klay. He was looking down at me with a worried face.

Finally, I was able to smile after the shock of seeing Pierce and Lexi in the

same restaurant.

"We don't have to leave. We came here first and you already made a reservation."

He clenched his jaws as he stared into my eyes. His dark orbs were staring back into my eyes as if weighing my emotions and reactions. I know he's worried but I can perfectly handle my emotions. I've learned to hide my real feelings and this is not new to me. "Are you sure?"

I was about to nod at Klay when I saw Lexi and Pierce walking towards our table. I sucked my breath, keeping my patience as I lifted my face again and looked at them. Klay on the other hand went back to his seat and watched my reaction.

I see they're okay now. I still remember how Lexi attacked me in my flower shop accusing me of stealing her fiance. I guess they made up. They look. good together. An asshole and a snake.

"Kelly! I didn't know you're here. We have a date and I supposed you're dating too. Mind if we share a table with you?"

"There are so many vacant tables here. Don't you have money for a reservation?"

My lips parted because of what Klay said. I saw Lexi's expression immediately

changed because of the rejection. Right! She is used to getting everything she wants so she's not used to rejection.

Klay slowly lifted his face and looked at them with a cold expression. "You see this night is extra special so I don't want our night to be ruined."Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

me, "I believe you'll let us join your

Lexi laughed sarcastically and looked since you're my fiance's best friend, Kelly"

I lazily stared into her sarcastic eyes, "I don't mind having you here with us. Besides, I have so many things to say."

I saw fear cross Lexi's eyes as I glanced at Pierce before looking at her again. She swallowed hard and without a word, she dragged her fiance away.

"Have a nice date," she said fakely as she pulled Pierce's arm while the latter glanced at me before following her.

I lifted my chin and slowly took a deep breath. My heart has been beating so fast and loud. I don't understand why Pierce can still affect me like this. Probably because he was never a bad husband to me, I can't get over him. "We can find another restaurant."

I smiled at Klay and shook my head, "No. Why would we leave for some people. who don't matter? Besides, I like their food here."

Klay slowly nodded and lifted his arm, signaling the server to serve our food since he already knows what I want.

The food was served not too long after that. As usual, everything tastes so good. I was busy eating when I felt Klay's finger gently touch my bottom lip ast if wiping something.

When I lifted my face and looked at him, he chuckled, "You really like the food, huh?"

"This is my favorite," I said and continued eating while glancing at him.

He sipped on his wine while staring at my face. "I just have a question, Kelly."

I nodded, "Shoot."

"Do I stand a chance?"

I choke because of his question. He immediately handed me a glass of water

and apologized. I caressed my chest and drank the water before looking at his face again.

What should I tell him? I know that I'm attracted to him but if I give him a

chance, will we work? The only way to know is to take the risk and give him a chance but will it be worth it? What if he's just challenged? What if he just wants something. But...

we already slept together. If he only wants my body, he won't exert so much effort to prove hims If to me.

I swallowed hard, unable to say anything

"I'm sorry. I know it was the wrong place and time to ask. Just forget about what I said."

I didn't say anything again. I just bit my bottom lip again and averted my gaze. After a few seconds, we continued eating in silence. However, the question he threw at me was constantly playing on my mind.. That's my question too. Should I give him a chance? What will I lose if he hurts me? I'm afraid but I guess I will not move forward if I keep on being afraid. should grab this chance to be happy, right?

After eating, I excused myself to go to the restroom. I washed my hands and retouched and while staring at my own reflection, I thought about everything that's happening between me and Klay.

I was about to go back to the table when I walked past the smoking area and accidentally caught a familiar man smoking.

My lips parted after realizing that Pierce had learned to smoke. When did he learn that?

I shrugged the thought off my head. He's not my husband anymore and everything he does doesn't concern me anymore.

"Kelly!" I was about to leave when he noticed me. He immediately ran to my direction, blocking my way.

I

I stared at him blankly, not wanting to show some weakness. As usual, my heart is beating so fast but I'm trying to ignore my feelings. It's not important anymore.

"Are you really...dating him?" He asked painfully.

He's talking about Klay and I can't believe I'm seeing sadness in his eyes. I

don't want to trap us in the past so I nodded at him, confirming what's on his mind..

"Yes, Pierce. I'm dating him."

He swallowed hard, "You really fell for him..."

I pressed my lips together. I guess this is our chance to get the closure that we both need. Now that we're both calm.

"I'm sorry," he whispered just enough for me to hear. "I was stupid for trying to interfere with your personal life. I-I know I've lost my

chance and I was so in denial. I tried finding a way to prove to you that he's not good for you. I was a fool for even thinking that you're just doing all of these to get back at me...to hurt me after what I did to you."

My forehead creased, "I never thought of getting back at you, Pierce. Revenge will never be a way for me to cope up."

He nodded, "I know... I know because you're not that kind of person. I've come to my senses, Kelly. I'm sorry for hurting you."

I swallowed hard and sucked my breath, "I guess we should start treating each other like a complete stranger, Pierce."

He smiled bitterly and sadly that I couldn't stand a couple of seconds staring into his eyes.

"C-Can't we be friends again? Just like the old times?" He said and held my wrist.

I squeezed my eyes closed. Here we go again.

Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked at him blankly. I saw pain cross his eyes. He sucked his breath, bit his bottom lip and slowly nodded before he let go of my wrist.

"I-I understand. Please be happy."

I didn't say anything again. I started walking away in silence when he called my name again. Desperation was audible in his tone.

"Kelly..."

I stopped on my tracks, startled.

Letting Go

"My feelings will never change. I will just give way to your happiness but once I see you crying because of him....I will not hesitate to take you back. I'm in love with you, Kelly. So, I'm letting you go now..."
