Chapter 166

Ava.

“Is it okay if I come to visit tomorrow? There is something I wanted to talk to you about.”

I was on a phone call with Nora, or should I say my biological mother. I’ve been thinking hard these past few days, and I decided that I was finally going to give them a chance.

Both Nora and Theo seem like good people, and I’ve always craved that parental love. Maybe this was my chance of getting it. I wanted to get to know them, and I wanted a relationship with them.

It’s not their fault that Kate and James were horrible parents to me, and I couldn’t judge them based on my bad experience with my adopted parents.

“That would be wonderful, Ava. We’ve missed you and our grandchildren so much. I wanted to call or visit, but I didn’t want to push you if you weren’t ready,” she gushed in a sing song voice.

It made me smile, to be honest, and I haven’t smiled since that night.

“What time is okay with you?”

“Ava, you’re our daughter; whatever time you want to come, day or night, is simply fine with us” she answers.

After talking with her for a while, we finally hung up. Releasing a tired sigh, I place my phone down and just stare at the blank television.

My mind wanders back to that night. How did things just shift from great to downright ugly? Everything had been perfect until my brain chose to remember. I’ve come to realize that truly, ignorance is bliss. Part of me wishes that I hadn’t remembered.

It still cuts me deep when I remember the words he flung at me. I never thought that’s what he thought of me or our intimate moments. I’ve always wanted more passion and heat between us, and I knew that he was holding back, but I still loved the rare occasions we slept together. I treasured them and it hurt knowing that to him it wasn’t anything special, just a way to release pent–up sexual energy and to think of Emma.

I should have expected it, though. He didn’t love me and he didn’t value me. I was naïve, what the hell did I expect? That he actually enjoyed fucking me? I was nothing but a hole that satisfied his deepest fantasies about Emma.

I release a tired breath and push those thoughts away. I was tired of constant thinking about those words. The kids were asleep, and it was time I went to bed to.

I stand up and head to the door. I was about to lock it and turn of the lights when I heard a car, seconds later a knock.

Opening the door, I’m surprised to find Gabe and Rowan. Rowan was drunk and the only thing preventing him from face planting on the floor was Gabe’s hands.

“Hey, Ava. Sorry to bother you this late, but I had to bring him home” Gabe greets respectfully, something that shocks me a bit.

I shake my head to clear the fog before nodding, “It’s okay, come in”

I step aside and let them into the house. Since that night, Rowan has rarely slept here. He chose to stay at his penthouse to give me space. He’s tried everything, calling, texting, talking directly to me, but I refused to hear him out because the wound has still been fresh.

His calls remained answered, I deleted his texts without reading them and when we were in close proximity, I ignored him like he didn’t exist. For a moment, I also almost blocked his number.
