Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 0147

The reason I was even still in her life was because I was Noah’s dad and also because I was being forceful. Otherwise, she would have tossed me in the cold like she has done with the rest.

“Maybe next time then” Kate gives him a sad smile.

She was on the brink of tears. About to lose it. Noah didn’t know the drama that was going on. I couldn’t let him see his grandma breakdown in front of him. He will start to question things and once he finds out

the truth of how Ava has been treated, he will blow.

Noah was loyal to his mom above anyone else. If he finds out how cruel we’ve been to instantly be considered his enemies and he will cut us off.

“Let’s go…I’m sure the rest are waiting for us” I walk towards them and gently push them inside the house.

Kate excuses herself and goes to the bathroom while Noah and I move to the backyard.

I internally groan when I realize everyone has shown up. Noah runs ahead leaving me back.

He greets everyone except Emma. He doesn’t even spare her a F***ing glance. He doesn’t like her and he

isn’t afraid of showing it.

“So glad you’re finally here son” my dad claps me on the back.

He knows it irritates me when he does that, but he still does it.

“Yes” I mumbled already wanting this whole thing to be over and done with.

“You sure sound excited being around family” Gabe says sarcastically.

I glare at him. He doesn’t even flinch. Maybe it’s because he is my twin, but he is the only one who doesn’t

cower at my glare.

“Come on, Rowan. Give me a hug” mom says smiling at me. “I’ve missed you”

“Rowan..”

“What?” I snap feeling suffocated.

I see tears fill her eyes, but for some reason I just don’t give a damn anymore. Not like I used to.

Without giving her another look, I turn around and walk away.

For a while I played the what if game. What if I could finally have the woman I’ve always loved? What if we got married and started a family? What if everything played out the way it was supposed to years ago?

Those questions rang in my mind for years and the weeks when Emma arrived. I thought that this was our

second chance at our love, but I had been wrong.

Emma and I were too different right now. We would never work and even if we did get together years ago there is no guarantee that we would have been end game.

She’ll always have a part of my heart as my first love, but it was time to accept the truth. My love for her is dead. It has probably been dead for years.
