Hubby 221

Chapter 221 Kelly, I'm Back

Zev took a step forward, as though he wanted to embrace Kelly, but then he paused,

He was afraid she wouldn't forgive him.

"I-I didn't. I didn't build a family with Clarissa, I never signed the divorce papers, I tore them up. We're still married. You're still my wife, legally, Zev said, his voice thick with emotion.

Kelly, her eyes swollen with tears, stared up at him. "Then where have you been for the past two years? Where were you when I needed you the most? When I was in labor, bleeding heavily, needing someone to sign the papers? Where were you when I fainted from exhaustion while taking care of the baby?"

Zev clenched his teeth, lowering his head and closing his eyes, his whole body trembling as he fought back his emotions.

"So... you didn't show up then, and you don't need to now. Just leave," Kelly said softly, pointing toward the door.

"I can't..." Zev insisted, stubbornly moving closer. He gently lifted the baby off Kelly's shoulder, not caring if the child cried, and set him down on the sofa before turning and pulling Kelly into his arms.

It was an immature move.

"Let go, Kelly said, avoiding his gaze, her voice firm as she urged him to release her.

Zev refused to let go. He cried bitterly, his body shaking with sobs.

Kelly had never noticed how emotional Zev could be. Back then, even when he had endured so much pain and had been seriously injured, he never shed a tear. But now, he wept like a fragile flower after a storm.

He seemed to be able to cry all day if nobody stopped him.

"The things online ... They were all my grandfather's doing. I didn't know about any of it... I haven't seen Clarissa in two years," Zev whispered, his voice shaking. "I haven't even been in Seaville..."

"Then where were you?" Kelly asked, her heart tightening. Before she could stop herself, tears began to fall.

She cried, asking Zev where he had been.

Zev just cried in response, offering no explanation.

After a long silence, he spoke again. "Kelly, I'm back... I've come back...
