Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Desperately...

Kelly’s POV

I was driving my car to the company early in the morning when I saw a familiar man standing on the road side. He’s talking to a man older than him and it seems to me that they’re arguing.

I parked my car and slowly walked towards them.

“Just accept it because I have an urgent meeting. Or if you want, you can just give me your contact and I’ll have my assistant contact you about the damage.”

The older man scoffed. “What do you mean? Are you trying to get away? Not because you’re a rich foreigner doesn’t mean you can get away from this. You run into me! My back is hurting.”

I slowed down and tilted my head. Mr. Walter clenched his jaws. He’s arguing with an older man on the street and I think the old man is actually harassing him.

“Excuse me...” I stepped in, unable to watch the drama anymore.

They both looked my way and the old man seemed shocked that I stepped in. He looked tense now—a sign that he’s actually lying about his pain. freewebnovel.cσ๓

“Miss Monroe...”

I smiled at Mr. Walter. “I saw you, so I stopped for a while. Is there something wrong?”

“No, I just...” he paused and sighed. “I accidentally hit him and he doesn’t want to go to the hospital.”

“You have an urgent meeting, right?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded. “I’ll take care of this, Mr. Walter. Your meeting is important. You should go.”

He looked at the old man and he looked very hesitant. I smiled again and looked at the old man.

“I will talk to you on behalf of him, sir. I am his lawyer.”

The old man panicked even more. He immediately turned his back on us and walked away at a very fast pace.

“W-What? Wait...your injury...” Mr. Walter’s voice drowned in the air as soon as he realized that he was scammed.

He clenched his jaws and took his eyeglasses off. “Damn!”

I chuckled and looked at his face. “It is very troublesome to be a foreigner, huh?”

He looked at me, without his glasses, and I was mesmerized. He has a beautiful pair of eyes.

He put his eyeglasses back and scratched the back of his neck. “Please tell me I wasn’t scammed when I paid a woman last week after I bumped her car...”

I cupped my mouth. “Oh my God!”

His lips parted and after a few minutes, he started laughing. I laughed too while looking at him in disbelief.

“Mr. Walter, you almost got scammed twice.”

He sighed and shook his head. “I guess I need to call my lawyer whenever I encounter weird accidents.”

I smiled and glanced at my wrist watch. “You’ll be late for your meeting.”

He nodded. “Yeah... But, can I invite you later...to thank you for helping me today.”

Now he asked me that, I felt my cheeks start burning. Does it sound like I want him to court me or did I unconsciously deliver a hidden message?

He looked away. “I want to...I know I said I won’t force myself into you again but...I still want to try my luck and...court you.”

I wasn’t actually wrong. That was his intention.

He sighed and looked down. “Am I making you uncomfortable? Is this too fast?”

“You were so slow,” I said unconsciously.

“Huh?”

I looked away. “You want us to try again?”

“Desperately, baby...”

I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. “Can you deal with my issues? Can you accept my shortcomings? I’m not the same Kelly I was before, Pierce. I was wounded. Heavily wounded and I have so many insecurities now. I’m afraid of taking the risk again...even with the assurance.”

He slowly nodded. “I understand but I want you to know that I’m willing to wait. I can deal with your issues. I don’t care about your shortcomings and I’ll help you heal your insecurities...with assurance.”

I smiled at him but it didn’t reach my eyes. “That’s the Pierce I know...but that’s also the Pierce who broke me.”

He looked down, unable to say any single word.

“I want to try again, Pierce. Just...give me some time while proving to me that you deserve a second chance.”

He knew I can’t refuse him forever that’s why he kept coming back and trying. He knew...that I have feelings for him. He’s just denying it because he’s guilty for hurting me.
