Her eyes were hesitant as she looked into my eyes before glancing at my baby bump. I pressed my lips together as my heart skipped a beat. The grandmother of the child insideis standing in front of me. I didn't know this could be awkward. "How's your baby?" I don't know what to say to her. Her question shocked me. I was expecting her to lash out onjust like what Lexi did.

I don't know for what reason she wants to talk to me, but if it's about Pierce again, she should know that her son already gave up on chasing me.
"Do you want something to drink?" I asked, unable to hide the coldness in my voice.
She smiled and shook her head. When she sat on the couch, I sat in front of her.
"Before we talk about the reason why I'm here, I wanna ask you something. I hope you won't mind." "My answer will depend on your question, Mrs. Anderson." She nodded, staring at my face. "Are you happy?" My forehead creased. I am happy with my life. I know smight judgefor accepting Klay in my life. Aside from the fact that he's my stepbrother, it hasn't been long since Pierce and I divorced, but I'm truly happy. 1 am," I answered, not taking my eyes off of her to show her how confident I am.
"What about you father? Where is he?" My father? Right! She's friends with my dad.
"He's. He's fine, Mrs. Anderson. He's abroad. Currently on vacation." She shook her head as worry crossed her eyes. She opened her bag and showeda piece of paper 22 Inside a white envelope.

Why would he trust you more than his own daughter?" "Maybe because you don't trust him, Kelly." That hit me. I felt something insideaching. It's my heart. The hatred I showed him created a wound in his heart. He doesn't know that I've learned to forgive him even withoutnoticing it.
"Kelly, he never contactedall these years. And the first message he sentwas this. Do you know where he is?" I shook my head again, unable to believe the letter. It was printed but I felt the need and desperation. However, I don't wanna believe that he was the one who sent it. My father is safe. Klay assuredthat.
"This wasn't from him. Maybe this is just a prank. Why would he send something like that? And who uses letters like that when he can just send you a text message?" "Because no one would suspect that he would use this to ask for help?" I squeezed my eyes closed, completely lost for words. I don't wanna believe her but the circumstances are tellingto believe the letter. My father... I hated him because he married another woman. I was so brokenhearted that I forgot he was hurting too.

"I can do this alone, Mrs. Anderson. Thank you again for tellingthis." She nodded and opened her lips to speak again but I received a confirmation about the ticket I reserved father. online. All I need now is to prepare and go to the airport to finally check on my 1- should take my leave now. I just cto tell you that. Take care."
