She No Longer NeedsShe No Longer NeedsPierce's POV
| kept on thinking about what Kelly said as | watched her in her sleep. The baby is beside her, sleeping
peacefully. They looked exactly alike. They even have the ssleeping position and | love watching them.
However, the thing Kelly said has still been lingering in my mind. Tomorrow, Kelly will be discharged from the
hospital and she indirectly toldto go back to a life without her. | see she doesn't needanymore. It hurts
but I'm still thankful that she letstay here for a few months. She lettake care of her. She allowedto
see her baby. That beautiful baby that looks like her.
Slowly, I let my finger run gently on Kelly's face. | felt my heart racing because of the mere touch. It's a waste
how | hurt her just because | thought I'm still in love with Lexi. | was wrong. | hurt the woman who stayed with
Looking at her now, | can see that she's okay. She's moved on. Fromand Klay Carver I'm happy that she's
stronger than before now.
A smile crept on my lips when | saw baby Snow's lips moving as if sucking. Chuckling, | held her small and soft
balled fists.
"I guess your mommy can handle the situation now," | whispered. "I will leave but not now. Maybe after a week. |
just want to stay with you and your mommy for another week. That's not selfishness, right? | just want to watch
you sleep a little longer."
| don't know but | felt a little weird when | saw baby Snow's face. My heart skipped a beat when I first heard her
cry. My hands trembled when | touched her soft and delicate hands. | don't know. Maybe I'm sp in love with Kelly
that | feel like I'm the real father of baby Snow.
It is absurd to feel this but | can't help it. Dreaming about a simple family with Kelly is now my new happiness
but | need to stop this now. She's right! | must not hurt Lexi like what | did to her.
My mind remained in chaos even after a good sleep. | woke up the next morning to Kelly's soft voice humming a
song.
When I looked at her, she's crying baby Snow in her arms while singing a lullaby.

She looked atand my heart reacted like crazy again when she smiled atas she greetedback. "Good

"Okay. We'll wait for you."

and never leave again. Can | just be with her until the rest of my life? Will she ever acceptagain as her lover?
I don't know, She must've acceptedagain as her friend but not more than that.
My phone rang the stwe entered the house. Kelly sat on the couch, carrying baby Snow. | took my
phone out and looked at the caller. It's Lexi again.
Heaving a sigh, | went out of the house again and answered Lexi's call. "Hello-"
[Cback home, Pierce! I'm telling you, I'll kill myself
She MS Longer Nends me
| squeezed my eyes closed and clenched my jaws. "Just wait, Lexi. | still have things to do."
[Like what? Fcking your mistress? Huh? | know what you have been doing behind my back. You're with Kelly,

"Let's just talk when | cback-"
[NO! | want us to talk now so cback hor you won't seealive again!]
"Don't threatenlike that, Lexi. You can't scare me."
She laughed sarcastically. [You think | won't do it? Don't regret it, Pierce. Don't regret if I'm already a cold corpse
when you cback]
She ended the call and | gritted my teeth while sucking my breath. She's been threateningto kill herself but |
know she won't do that. She's just manipulatingto get what she wants. She's changed a lot and | can't put
up with her anymore. | want to end our relationship. Not because | want Kelly back but because | can't stay with

When | got back inside, Kelly's feeding baby Snow again. | smiled and walked towards them. | sat beside Kelly
and caressed baby Snow's hand.
