After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The next morning Avery came downstairs to find Ethan sprawled on her couch looking like a

thundercloud.

“Avery!” he snapped, voice sharp enough to cut glass.

She could feel his rage from across the room but honestly couldn’t bring herself to care anymore.

“Oh. Hey.” She kept her voice deliberately casual. “Sorry, but I’m going to meet my boyfriend, so… door’s that way.”

Ethan shot up like he’d been electrocuted. He grabbed her wrist hard enough to leave marks, his eyes wild.

“What fucking boyfriend?”

Avery just stared back, a hollow ache spreading through her chest. Even now, he thought he had

some claim on her.

His grip tightened painfully. “Hello? Avery! Gone deaf? Answer me”

She tried to pull away, feeling tears threatening but refusing to let them fall. “Why do you police my

love life? Back off.”

Just as Ethan looked ready to explode, her mom bustled downstairs and wedged herself between

hem.

‘Oh stop it, you two! She doesn’t have a boyfriend–she’s just being dramatic. She’s too busy for a boyfriend right now! If she’s going to date, it’ll be later. You two have grown up together since kindergarten–whatever this is, stop fighting!”

With her mom watching, they reluctantly backed down and sat.

After her mom left, Ethan seemed to realize he’d crossed a line. His face shifted as something clicked.

Too busy? Will be later? What was he missing?

‘So… there’s no boyfriend?” he asked, sounding almost relieved.

Chapter 6

Avery glanced at him from her corner, the weight of twenty years of unrequited love pressing on her chest. “What do you want, Ethan?”

He recognized her deflection but let it slide. “Why aren’t you coming to my birthday?”

“Busy.”

The simplicity of her answer seemed to infuriate him. His voice rose again.

She’d spent two days by his hospital bed, sobbing until she was physically sick, making bargains with God, with the universe–anything to keep him alive.

When he finally woke up, he’d reached out weakly to wipe her tears away.
