Chapter 0180
I decide to do my make up today. I go for the nude look. After that I do my hair, preferring to curl it
instead of wearing it straight. Satisfied with how I looked, I take my ballet shoes and put them on. I was just about to leave when my phone rings.
I don’t recognize the number, but I pick it up none the less. 1
“Hello?”
“Hello, Ava. It’s Ethan” his gruff voice says through the phone.
Even without him introducing himself, I would still have known it’s him. I memorized his voice during that
time I was deliriously happy with him. It was during the time he spoke to me with so much emotion and care that I had felt wanted. If only it had been real and not a game he was playing.
Shaking those thoughts, I push away the painful memories.
“Hello Ethan, how are you?” I ask, my voice controlled.
I’ve never visited him again. We’ve only spoken through letters. Mainly with me updating him on what’s going on with my pregnancy.
“I’m good” he answers, then keeps quiet.
It’s awkward for a while. This was the man I had no trouble telling my thoughts. Now everything felt tense and awkward.
“Have you spoken to mom and dad?” I ask after a while, just to break the tension.
It feels so weird calling them that while talking to Ethan. They raised him and they were his parents too. Which just makes everything weird because we were now expecting a child together.
“No” comes his one word answer.
“Why? They are dying to talk to you, Ethan. Why won’t you just see the?”
Mom and dad try to hide it, but I know they’re hurting. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still pissed at what Ethan did, but they still love him, You can’t unlove a child you’ve raised for more than twenty years.
“You know why, Ava” he answers in a sigh.
Yes, and you reason is so fucking stupid! Can’t you see you’re hurting them? Haven’t you hurt them enough? Don’t you love them? Why then would you do this to them?” I fire the questions one by one, feeling frustrated by his stubbornness.
I continue speaking when he doesn’t say anything.
“Just talk to them, please, I’ve never asked you for anything except this. I don’t like seeing them mask their pain when they tell me that you refused to see them yet again” I plead with him.
“Yes. I’m convinced it’s a girl” he answers sheepishly. I can imagine him rubbing his hand on the back of his head.
