Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 112

I wanted to believe her, but I couldn’t. The family that raised me didn’t love me and they’ve had twenty eight years with me. I didn’t expect Nora and Theo to love me either. They didn’t know me and from the looks of things they really loved Ethan.

“How are you even sure I’m your daughter?” I ask standing up. “Ethan could have mixed things up. I look nothing like any of you”

They were out of this world beautiful and I was just me. Nothing remarkable about my looks.

Ethan answers handing me an envelope. “I took your hair and did a DNA test. It matched one hundred percent”

I open it and read its content. He wasn’t lying that much is true. My DNA matched with that of Nora and Theo.

“You have my brown hair and your mother’s beautiful brown eyes” Theo added after Ethan. “Even without those physical attributes, I still now. Deep down I know you’re the daughter that was taken from us twenty eight years ago”

I turn away from them when my tears start falling. It was too much to take. My whole life has been a fucking lie. I didn’t know how to handle that. Every scorn I got from the Sharp family, every hate, every pain they gave me comes to the surface.

They knew I wasn’t theirs. If they didn’t want me they could have given me away. What was the point of making me stay with them, only for them to hurt me over and over again?”

“It’s okay my love” Nora uses the pet name I call Noah and it makes me cry harder. “Let it all out, all of it” she says as she hugs me.

I didn’t even notice her standing up or coming to me. Being in her arms just feels right. I feel at home, something I’ve never felt with mother. I feel her love wash over me and surround me as she embraces me.

She doesn’t let go even when I soak her designer dress in tears. Soon a feel another set of arms surround us. Theo had joined us. I continue to cry until I feel like I’m out of tears, then I stop.

I look at them in surprise. What were they doing here? And most importantly were they all attached to the hip or something? Gabe was the only one that wasn’t here.

“I’m sorry, Ava… I tried to stop them but he pushed past me” she says remorsefully while glaring at Travis.

“What are you all doing here and what do you want?” I honestly don’t think I can deal with them.

“Mom wanted to talk to you, to talk to us. She said she wanted to tell you everything, but you’re not picking up her calls” Emma speaks.

I heave a sigh of defeat. The last thing I wanted to do was hear what she had to say, but I also knew that I had to.
