Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 329

Chapter 0329

“I still don’t like her, and I don’t think I’ll ever like her, but I understand Mom,” he finally says after a while. “I’ll invite her then, but don’t expect me to ever be her friend.”

I nod, my smile growing bigger. “Thank you, my love.”

He hugs me, and my heart settles down. I haven’t hugged my baby boy in more than a week and a half. It felt good to have him in my arms again.

“I love you, mommy,” he murmurs against my chest.

My heart soars. There is just something about your baby calling you mommy even though he’s no longer a little baby. I can’t describe it, but it’s one of the best feelings.

“I love you too, my sweets” I whisper back, “Now hurry up or you’ll be late for school.”

We pull away from each other. After kissing his forehead, I leave his room and head downstairs. I greet Teresa, who was busy making breakfast, before taking a glass of water, some painkillers, and heading up the stairs again.

Entering the master bedroom, I was hoping Rowan was still asleep and I could just leave the water and pills, but unfortunately for me he’s awake.

To be honest, I don’t think I’m ready to face or talk to him. Without saying a word, I walk across the room and place the items on the bedside table.

I was about to leave, but just like yesterday night he stops me.

“Morning, Ava” he greets, his eyes

shadowed.

I know it’s petulant, but I ignore his greetings. I try to pull away, but he holds firm, refusing

to let go.

“Let go of my hand,” I demand in a crisp voice.

“Not until you listen to me.”

I stop struggling, but not by much. Hearing what he said for some reason just hurt even more.

“I’m guessing this didn’t happen long ago and goes to show your feelings for her if you were willing to hurt me that much, just so you could avenge her.” I snarl at him, refusing to accept his damn explanation.

I didn’t even want to know what went down between me and Emma, If I’d hurt her, then f must have had a pretty good reason. I wouldn’t have just attacked her for kicks and giggles.

“I don’t love her,” he growls back.

“Well, it looks like you did; otherwise, explain what moved you to say those disgusting things to me.” I ask. “I never held you back. I always knew our marriage was only because of Noah. I wouldn’t have stopped you if you decided to have a mistress, as long as you kept it private and away from the media, but to use me like that? That is downright disgusting”

This time, when I struggle, I jab my hand into his stomach, and he releases me with a groan. 1 stood up and was about to leave when he crossed the room faster than the flash and locked the

door.
