Zev flashed a grin at Kelly. “Next time, I’ll pinch me instead.”
Finished
The longer Kelly dwelled on his words, the more irritated she felt. Without hesitation, she pinched Zev’s arm firmly.
“But, Honey…” Zev wrapped his arms around her, his expression filled with grievance as he spoke in a gentle voice. “Could you promise not to bring up divorce again?”
Kelly let out a deep breath. “Alright, I won’t mention it anymore.”
She hadn’t expected such an intense reaction from him.
“Knock! Knock!” A sudden knock at the door interrupted the moment.
Kelly froze, casting a wary glance at Zev.
Who could be knocking at this hour, especially with the heavy rain outside?
Since this was a military family housing, outsiders weren’t allowed in. Gary hadn’t returned to Seaville, so who could have come?
Zev patted her back reassuringly before stepping toward the door with caution. Peering through the peephole, he saw nothing but darkness in the hallway.
“Could someone be messing with us?” Kelly whispered.
Zev shook his head, gesturing for her to grab the child and step back.
With a sense of unease, Kelly picked up Jasper, her eyes locked on the door.
When Zev pulled it open, he found a small figure crouched outside, sobbing.
He exhaled in relief and rubbed his temples. “Do you have any idea how terrifying it is when people scare each other like that?”
Kelly soon recognized the person crouching outside the door and hurried forward. “Faye?”
Drenched from head to toe, Faye looked up at her. “Aunt Clarissa and Daddy want to use me to hurt you,” she choked out. “Aunt Clarissa said… that Zev is easy to manipulate. They plan to make him misunderstand you and Daddy, to break you two apart.”
Kelly stood still, stunned. This wasn’t the first time Faye had run to her with a warning.
This child…
“Come inside first. You’re soaked. Let’s get you into some dry clothes,” Kelly said with concern, wanting nothing more than to send her home.
But Faye only gave Jasper a brief glance before suddenly bolting away.
“Faye!” Kelly called out, immediately running after her.

Clutching the umbrella, Kelly hurried after the girl. “Faye! Stop right there!”
But Faye was too quick.
By the time Kelly reached the exit, the child had already dashed beyond the neighborhood gates.

“This girl is always in such a rush,” the security guard commented, watching Faye sprint off without an umbrella.
“Faye, stop right there!” Kelly took a few quick steps after her, but when she realized she couldn’t catch up, she could only stand still and call out.
Faye finally halted, turning around to face Kelly.
Under the glow of the streetlamp, it was impossible to tell whether the droplets on her face were raindrops
or tears.
well word
She cast one last glance at Kelly before running off without a word.
In the two years since they had last met, Faye had changed more than Kelly could have imagined.
Whenever she encountered Jasper, an uneasy and defensive feeling took over her.
Was it her broken home that left her emotionally scarred?
Because of the Grays and Regina’s favoritism towards sons, because those who once cherished her now only cared for her younger brother, she was convinced that having a younger brother meant she would be forgotten.
Regina and Eric acted that way, and so did Kelly and Zev.
“Kelly! Have you seen Faye?” Eric’s car came to a halt outside the neighborhood, his voice filled with urgency as he questioned Kelly, who stood by the doorway.
With a sharp glare, Kelly pointed in the direction Faye had run off. “She ran that way just a moment ago. I used to think you were just a terrible husband, but I never realized you were an even worse father.”
Eric stepped toward her, his eyes bloodshot. “Kelly … Faye really adores you. Maybe she heard you were back and wanted to see you. I I also … ”
Kelly eyed him warily.
…
From where he stood, Eric spotted Zev chasing after them, holding a child in his arms, an umbrella shielding them from the rain.
Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Kelly into his arms, whispering softly, “Kelly, I’ve missed you so much. Where have you been these past two years? I’ve been searching for you, Kelly …”
“Eric!” Kelly snapped, struggling to break free, but he gripped her tightly on purpose.
Piecing together what Faye had said earlier, Kelly finally understood Eric and Clarissa’s cruel plan.
They were deliberately trying to drive a wedge between her and Zev.

Meeting Zev’s gaze, Eric smirked and deliberately spoke. “Kelly, I know you still have feelings for me. I never married Regina. I’ve been waiting for you, Kelly…”
“Oh, really?” Kelly said. The moment Eric let his guard down, she stomped on his foot with all her strength, drove her knee into his stomach, and then slapped him hard.
The sharp sound of the slap cut through the storm, standing out against the roar of thunder.
Doubling over in pain, Eric clutched his abdomen, momentarily unable to utter a word.
She lunged forward and delivered a fierce kick, her stance making it clear. She intended to kick Eric to death.
Zev, who had initially planned to deal with Eric himself, was momentarily taken aback. Now, he had somehow ended up being the one trying to break up the fight.
He waited until Kelly had kicked him enough before finally stepping in to stop her. “Honey, that’s enough. You’ll dirty your shoes if you keep going.”
Eric, soaked from head to toe, glanced at Kelly and Zev with a deliberate smirk. His voice dripped with mockery. “Kelly, I know you still have feelings for me. If hitting me makes you feel better, then go ahead.”
With a cold glare, Zev released Kelly’s wrist. “Go on, keep hitting him. He deserves it.”
Eric sneered, then turned his attention to Zev. “Zev, you’re fooling yourself. She will never love you more than she loved me. And that kid you’re holding. Are you sure it’s even yours? Do you have the guts to take a paternity test?”
