A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 231

Our gazes crash and my insides curled over itself. Something dark crawled and spread over his eyes, so deeply imbedded, all signs of the unsure Alex was non existent. Nothing but determination shone in his eyes. Determination to have what he considered his. It scared the shit out of me, but I couldn't look away.

"There's no way I'm going to be away from you for that long." His voice had dropped so low, I wouldn't have heard him if I wasn't wrapped so tightly against him. "Do you really think I can love without you?" He asked, nuzzling his chin into my hair.

Did I? To be honest, I wasn't sure. I mean, when he was upset with me, he managed to, but he'd been in my face at the hospital, had breakfast ready by 6am that morning. He loved at least an hour drive away and thirty minutes if he drove like a man on drugs. Could he live without me? I knew for sure I couldn't without him, but could be? I kept my mouth shut.

Alex sighed, but his hold on me never loosened. "I want to be a part of your life as much as the baby too. And if would be unfair of you to take him or her from me. I won't let that happen."

Tears pooled at the corner of my eyes. What the hell?

"Shit." Alex cursed and was on his knees the next second. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out like that." He swept a thumb over my cheeks, taking tears with it. "I'm so sorry. I would never. I just wanted you to know I want you in my life as much as I would love our child in it too, heck, more." He rushed, wiping tears after tear. "Just give me a chance to right my wrongs and fix my stupid mistakes."

I snorted at the fear in his eyes, just moment ago he sounded like a man ready for war, it was all so ugh! But I loved him still.

"Okay fine. But can I at least take my icecream before it becomes mush?" I laughed, wiping tears from my cheeks.

He chuckled and nodded before handing the chocolate bowl. I wolfed the thing down and grabbed the vanilla next. By the time I had taken all three flavours, the Oreo one was more cream than ice and my eyes were heavier than a shopping cart.
