Chapter 0139
I want to take you out for lunch” Rowan surprises me once again.
I look at him suspiciously “Why?”
“I want us to talk”
I scan the roads. Checking if I could locate a taxi. Today I came by one because I wasn’t in the mood to
drive.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. We really have nothing to talk about” I focus my eyes back on him.
He runs his hands through his black hair. Seeming a bit frustrated.
“Rowan…” I was about to let him know I was leaving, but he cuts me off. His face turning stone cold.
“I won’t take no for an answer. It’s either you get in by yourself or I carry you in” he says motioning to his
car.
“You wouldn’t dare”
“Fucking try me, Ava”
He starts advancing on me and I just know that he was about to enact his threat. With a humph, I turn
around and stomp towards his car.
He unlocks the car and I get in. I glare at him when he gets in and starts the car.

I keep quiet, not in the mood to talk. I was angry and confused with his sudden change in behavior. I wanted the old Rowan back. The one I was used to. This version of him was new to me and completely
unpredictable. I didn’t like that.
We get to a restaurant I’ve never been to. He leads me inside where he gives his name and we’re
immediately shown to our table.
“What’s going on with you Rowan?” I ask him the moment we are alone. “Your behavior of late is really. confusing. I mean for heaven’s sake. You showed up to my doctor’s appointment for a baby that isn’t
even yours when you never came to any of my appointments when I was pregnant with Noah”
He doesn’t say anything. Just continues staring at me stonily. Reminding me of the version I was used to.
Cold, indifferent and detached.
when I’m ready to put them in my past where they all belong is when everyone is all of a sudden
apologizing for hurting me. 1
“I’m so fucking sorry for the role I played in hurting and destroying you. I’m not a man who ever makes
mistakes, but I admit that I made the biggest fucking one in how I treated you”
I hear what he was saying, but it just wasn’t registering. How was I supposed to forgive him? How was I
supposed to forget everything he put me through?”
I keep quiet as I stare at the table. I didn’t have anything else to say because I just didn’t know if I could
ever forgive him.
