Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 0224

Rowan.

It’s been two days since the truth came out, and I still can’t get over the k*ss.

When I dipped my head to k*ss Ava, I expected her to push me away. Worse, to slap me. I can’t deny that I was surprised when she let me k*ss her. That surprise soon turned into happiness and joy.

I can’t F***ing believe that I went so long without her k*sses. Her l*ps were soft, and her mouth is

addictive. I could spend my entire life just k*ssing her, and I would be happy.

Again, I say, I was F***ing foolish. Every time I denied Ava a k*ss when we were married, I thought I was punishing her. I didn’t realize what I was missing out on. For that, I will always be regretful because |

missed out on so many things.

I’m currently in my office, and I can’t focus for shit. I have business meetings in the next few days, yet the

only thing that played in my mind is that k*ss.

I feel like a F***ing teenager all over again. Kissing her and then having her reciprocate was similar to the thrill of getting a first k*ss from a girl. It left me excited. I felt like I was on top of the world.

“What has you grinning like an idiot?” Gabe’s voice interrupts me.

I look up just as he drops on the seat in front of my desk.

“Nothing” I say, clearing my throat.

That’s definitely something. If I have to guess, then I think it’s something related to Ava”

I don’t say anything, but we know that he is spot on.

“So what happened?” he asks curiously.

I debate whether to tell him. Finally I give in. He was my twin. What is the use of hiding it from him?

“I k*ssed Ava and she F***ing let me” I tell him proudly.

It felt so F***ing good. Like I had achieved something miraculous. Those few minutes where she didn’t

push me away gave me hope. Hope that maybe she still felt something for me.

Gabe grins at me with happiness. “That good progress.”

Yes I say then groan. “Well it was going well until she reminded something I told her and push me away

I don’t even know how she used to stand me. I can’t stand myself every time I think about what I put Ava through. It makes me appreciate her more, knowing she tolerated me for all those years. Not a lot of

women would have put up with my shit.

“On the bright side, she was receptive. That’s got to mean something, right?” he asks after a while. To

I was about to agree when something hits me.

“What if it’s just the hormones?” I ask in panic running my hand through my hair. “Due to the pregnancy hormones, most women go through an increase in libido. Maybe that is it. Fuck.”
