Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 61

Ava.

I was happy today. Not only had my dinner date with Ethan gone well, but I was going to go back to work tomorrow and the day after that will be my birthday.

Just like I had predicted on Saturday, Ethan had managed to help me forget. A few minutes after getting to his place, I was already laughing my ass off.

He cooked, and he didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious. There was just something about a man that can cook and make you laugh. It ended up being a happy and fun night. It got better when I came back home and I was able to talk to Noah.

He had calmed down a bit. We chatted about everything and nothing at all, before he fell asleep still on the phone. It had been the highlight of my day.

I was baking when someone knocked on my door. I was craving some comfort food so I decided on cookies and chocolate cake.

Wiping my hands with the kitchen towel, I went and opened my door. Part of me was shocked when I came face to face with Emma. The other part wasn’t.

“What do you want, Emma?” I ask in irritation.

The fact that she was here didn’t spell good things. The last time she was here, I was almost killed a couple of hours after fighting with her.

Her face is stony when she answers. “We need to talk”

My whole being rebelled against the idea. Against my better judgement I let her in and lead her to my living room.

“Say what you came to say and the leave” I take a sea and watch carefully as she does the same.

She is quiet as she surveys my home. She sneers after her inspection is over.

I roll my eyes. Of course this doesn’t meet her standards. It isn’t flashy nor expensive. It was simple and homely.

“And how have I dragged him back? hmm?”

“The attack two weeks ago. He rushed here in the middle of our movie night just because he heard you were hurt”

I shake my head at her. She’s considered to be the top lawyer yet she was dumber than an ostrich.

“How’s that my fault, Emma. He is your man so why don’t you put a fucking leash on him” I snap.

Why the hell were we even having this conversation? Didn’t she realize that she won? That she got the guy? That I wanted nothing more than to move on with my life.

I found a great man and I was hoping my relationship with Ethan will lead somewhere. I didn’t want the drama with Emma and Rowan affecting what we were building.

“I still think that you’re doing all these things to get attention and sympathy from him” she mocks, sneering at me like she said the most intelligent thing.
