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

A Friend to Call Kelly's POV "Elle!"

I was taken aback upon hearing that worried voice. When I lifted my face, my boss, Caleb Walter, was standing a few meters away from me, looking so worried. He's wearing his usual business attire and black rimmed eyeglasses. Why is he here?

He rushed to me and stood in front of me. He examined my face with a visibly worried expression. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

I looked back and glanced at Pierce, who's standing behind me, watching us.

I sucked my breath and faced Mr. Walter again. Sir, why are you h

He sighed and clenched his jaws. "It's natural for an employer to worry about his promising employee."

I don't know if I should accept his reason as valid but I just nodded and looked at the police officer who walked towards me.

"Miss Elle Young-

"Kelly," I cut the officer off. There's no other reason to hide my identity. "Kelly Monroe."

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Mr. Walker looked at me with a creased forehead. I know he'd be shocked and I understand if he doesn't want me as his employee anymore. Besides, I'm thinking about taking over my father's company now. "Then, who's Elle Young?" The officer seemed confused as he glanced at Mr. Walter. He was the one who called them?

I crossed my arms. "Elle Young was my great grandmother's name...when she was still unmarried."

The officer nodded. "We just need to ask you a few questions about Mr. Klay Carver, Miss Monroe. But first, I'll have my men assist you to the hospital."

"No. I want to go home."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"Kelly, you need to go to the hospital," Pierce interrupted and touched my elbow. I looked at his hand languidly. He immediately pulled his hand back and sighed.

"I'll escort her home, officer. She needs to rest."

"I should take her home since she's my employee."

My forehead creased as I looked at Mr. Walter and Pierce alternately. Really? I wanted to laugh but I'm too tired to do that. Also, I badly want to see my daughter again.

"Officer, where are your men?" I asked the officer who immediately assisted me. I ignored both Pierce and Mr. Monroe. I don't have the energy to talk to them since I know that they have a lot of questions in my mind. I just want to lay on the bed right now. Beside my daughter. Peacefully.

When I got home, Phoebe and Luke were sitting on the couch. They're watching cartoons together but Phoebe's eyes were restless. She seemed so worried, and when she heard the door open and closed, she immediately pulled herself up and looked my way. "KELLY!"

A Friend to Call

I'm exhausted but when Phoebe hugged me, I felt comforted. I was actually expecting a hug from my daughter but Phoebe was too fast. I smiled at her when she pulled away and when I looked at my beautiful angel, she's just looking at me with teary eyes. I smiled as tears pooled in the corner of my eyes. "Won't you hug mommy?"

She sobbed and slowly ran to me. "Mommy. I miss you!

I carried her and hugged her so tight. I kissed her hair constantly and sniffed as I bit my bottom lip, suppressing my sobs. I thought I won't see her again.

"Mommy, where have you been? I was so sad without you, mommy. Don't leave me again, please."

I nodded and hugged her even tighter. "I won't leave again, pumpkin. I won't."

She sobbed and clung on my neck. "I won't leave you again, sweetie. I promise."

When I lifted my face, Phoebe was watching us intently. She has plenty of questions for me and I don't know how to nswer her. I don't wanna lie to her. But I'm afraid of the possibilities once they learned about Snow's real father. Snow cried so hard in my arms until she fell asleep. I gently put her to bed and I lay beside her.

From the bedroom door, I saw Phoebe watching us again.

I got out of bed so I could talk to her. I followed her to the living area and I found her gathering her things.

"I should leave now. Mom called. She's worried."

I nodded as I stared at her face. "Won't you ask me about her?"

She looked into my eyes and smiled slowly. "I respect you, Kelly. You're a mother and I know you want the best for her. I respect that. But...once you're ready, you can always tell me everything and anything."

I nodded and gently pulled her closer. I hugged her and caressed her hair. "Thank you, Phoebe."

She smiled at me as she waved her hand. Luke was with her and they left together.

I went back to bed beside my daughter. That night, after almost a week, I was able to sleep soundly. The night seemed peaceful and calm. I even overslept and woke up the next morning to see my daughter watching me in my sleep. "Good morning, sweetie." I kissed her cheek as I greeted her. She smiled sweetly and hugged me. She was clingy before and she became even more clingy.

I cooked and we ate breakfast together. I was watching Snow's favorite cartoon with her when my phone rang. I grabbed it and answered the call after I saw the registered name.

"Hello, officer?"

It was the officer who's incharge of my case.

Miss Monroe, I know you're still recovering, but can I ask you to come over to the police station? We have some questions for you.]

I bit my bottom lip and looked at my daughter. "Can you just come over to my apartment, officer? I'll give you my address."

The officer agreed and he came not too long after I ended the call. He's with another officer.

"Sweetie, can you go to our room for a while?"

Snow looked at me with frightened eyes. I kissed her cheek and caressed her chin. "Mommy won't leave."

"Promise?"

"I promise." I watched her as she walked slowly towards the bedroom. She even stared at me before she finally closed the door.

"I'm sorry for this, Miss Monroe. We just need you to answer some questions for the investigation."

I nodded at the officer. "I'm more than willing to help, officer."

I would do everything to catch Klay. He's already dangerous enough and I won't be able to go out peacefully as long as he's on the loose. He's shot, but I'm sure it's not a critical shot. Additionally, he still has a lot of connections. I need to ruin his reputation even before he recovers and comes back. I need to protect myself and my daughter.

After the officers left, I received another call. This time, Emily's name registered on the screen. I quickly answered her call as I closed the door. I was worried about her I thought Klay did something to her. Hello?"

[Your scheduled meeting with the shareholders of your father's company is tomorrow. Do you want me to adjust it or it's fine?]

I smiled. "I'm glad you're okay."

I heard her sigh. [Fine! I'm gonna adjust it. By the way, you might want to hire an assistant. I'm not fit to be

just so you know.]

one

I chuckled and bit my bottom lip. Who knew she'd be my friend? I thought she was my enemy. I judged her too early, but I'm glad I trusted her. She never disappoints.

I'm ready to attend the meeting tomorrow. Thank you, Emily. I owe you big time." [Guess I need a huge compensation for this. How 'bout help me with my divorce?]
