Chapter 0136
“Mommy where are we going?” Noah asks me as I lock our house.
I hadn’t planned on this little trip, but I knew it was something that I needed to do. Nora and Theo have been calling me for days. They wanted a relationship with me, but instead I kept keeping them at arm’s
length.
I decided that I was going to give them a chance. After all, how was I supposed to know if they truly loved me if I just kept pushing them away? And besides, I needed more good people in my life.
“I want you to meet some people” I reply, taking his hand in mine as I lead him towards my car.
As we were walking towards the car, my eyes gets caught by the moving vehicle that was parked a few
meters down from my house.
“Looks like someone is moving in” I tell Noah. “We’re going to have a new neighbor.”
The house has been empty for months. It was similar in structure to mine with the only difference being it
looked a bit bigger.
“Man, I hope they have a kid my age” Noah says in excitement. “Don’t get me wrong mom. I love this
place, but it’s full of old people”
I chuckle at that. When I picked this place, I didn’t realize we would be surrounded by elderly people who were all up in your business. I chose this place because of the tranquility and the big yard. The other two
kids in this community were like fifteen house down from us.
“Well baby, let’s hope so” I say as I help him get in the car and buckle up.
I get in and start the car. I was nervous and we weren’t even half way to where we were going. I was so
used to getting hurt that I was skeptical and doubtful about anyone who wanted to get close to me.
Pushing the nervousness away, I try to focus on driving.
“So, who are we going to see?” Noah breaks the silence bouncing in his seat.
One thing about Noah is that he doesn’t like being kept in suspense. A character that is just like his father. He prefers knowing things in advance and doesn’t like anything that surprises him which is a weird
character for a kid.
“You’ll just have to wait and see” I smile at him. “They are people I currently met and they’ve been dying to
meet you”
His brows pull together in a frown. Right now he reminds me so much of Rowan. Noah was an exact replica of his dad. It showed in the way he looked and behaved.
“Can’t you just tell me? You know I don’t like surprises” he grumbles
See what I told you? He doesn’t like not knowing.
“I promise this is going to be a good surprise” I assure him.
He was going to be so happy when he realizes he’s getting two additional grandparents. Mainly because
he knows it will mean more gifts and love for himself. As much as he is looking forward to having a sibling, he can’t hide that he loves being the only grandchild.
“Mommy, is dad going to marry your sister Emma?” Noah asks after a while.
My breath stills at his question.
“Probably” I mumbled.
Even though I feel the familiar pain. It isn’t as earth shattering as it used to be. I accepted it long time
ago. Rowan wasn’t mine. He never was. He always belonged to Emma mind body and soul. Right now they may have hit a rough patch because of her lies, but they will get back together eventually.
Their love has spanned over a decade. It’s impossible for them not fix what’s broken. Sooner or later, when they worked their issues, they’ll resume their romance.
“I don’t want that. I don’t want a stepmother” he says in a small voice.
It breaks my heart to hear him so sad, but there is nothing I can do about it. Rowan and I were wrong from the beginning. We shouldn’t have gotten married and I will always regret that I didn’t fight harder when he
said we should marry.
Life would have been easier if I had. Instead we got married and pretended we loved each other in front of Noah. Now he was having a hard time accepting someone else as Rowan’s possible wife.
