Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

hapter 420 She Intends to Remarry

When Kelly left work, It was already past 11:00 p.m.

She felt drained, a deep exhaustion that left her lightheaded and on the verge of collapse.

Her phone had been cerily quiet. The longer Zev went without reaching out to her, the more uneasy Kelle became.

Before he left, Zev had promised her that everything would be fine.

But now, with no news from him for so long, Kelly couldn't shake the rising anxiety inside her.

"Kelly, you should rest. I'll pick you up early tomorrow," Hanson said as he drove her home, his voice full of concern. It was clear he'd noticed how much she had been handling alone in recent days. "Don't worry, Mr. Lockhart will be fine. No news is the best news."

Kelly nodded, knowing he was probably right. But without hearing from Zev, peace was hard to find.

"Hanson, I know these past days have been tough for you too. Luckily, I can still count on Hanson. He's been working late and getting up early to drive me.

"Please, Kelly, don't mention it. It's my job," Hanson replied, stepping out of the car to open her door.

Kelly got out, watching him drive away before heading inside.

The house felt emptier than ever. Jasper and Shane were staying with Caden, and Kelly couldn't shake the feeling that she'd been neglecting the kids lately. She had to keep her guards up against the nanny.

“Mrs. Lockhart, welcome home," the nanny said, her voice quivering slightly as she appeared from the hallway.

Kelly narrowed her eyes. "Nancy, what's going on? Why do you look so nervous?" Nancy froze for a moment, then quickly waved her hands. "N-nothing's wrong."

Kelly stood still, scanning the room as she gave Nancy a sharp look.

Something about the nanny was off. This wasn't the first time Kelly had felt uneasy, especially when Faye and Connor had pointed out Nancy's odd behavior with Jasper. Kelly had been careful not to let catch onto her suspicions. But now, with Zev gone, Nancy's actions stood out more than ever.

"Nancy, haven't you been getting enough rest lately? You should take care of yourself. I've left some supplements in the storage room-help yourself," Kelly said gently, trying to test the nanny's conscience.

She and Zev had been kind to Nancy, so if she had any decency, it would show

now.

Nancy's face went pale as she lowered her head, her voice breaking. "Okay... Thank you, Mrs. Lockhart. I've just been distracted these past few days... I heard about what happened to Mr. Lockhart, and I ... I've been a
