Chapter 0209
Rowan.
“Is Noah coming?” my mother asks me.
1
“Not today, mom. I forgot to let Ava know, and I didn’t want to spring this on her all of a sudden,” I tell her
as I walk into Kate’s home.
It was our monthly get–together. Just like the last one, I didn’t want to be here. The only reason I was there was because I’d promised Mom that I would attend.
“I’ve missed him so much, and so has Kate. She really wanted to see
him.” She pauses. “Now that she
and Ava are estranged, the only time she gets to see Noah is during these get–togethers.”
I wanted to feel sorry for her, but I don’t. That makes me a bastard, sure, but I believe that we were all
getting what we deserved. This was our punishment for how we treated Ava.
“Maybe next time,” I say as I walk past her.
Mom and Kate have been friends for years. She would do anything for her best friend. The last thing I
want or need is to stand there for almost thirty minutes just listening to how Kate was suffering.
I didn’t need to hear about someone else’s suffering when I was dealing with one of my own.
She follows me as I make my way to the backyard. I know Kate’s home like the back of my hand. After all, they’ve lived here for years. This is the same house where Ava and I got married. The same house she tried to escape when she found out she was pregnant with Noah.
I stop dead in my tracks. Mom, who was following behind me, collides with my back.
“What the hell, Rowan?” she asks, but I don’t turn around. Nor do I answer.
She comes to my front when I don’t answer. My eyes stare at her, unseeing.
1 just remembered the day I caught Ava trying to escape. Looking back now, I can’t imagine how my life. would have turned out had she managed to escape me.” I tell her.
“Ava was eighteen and scared, mom. She begged me to let her go because, deep down, she probably knew that I would destroy her if she stayed, and I did. I broke her heart more times than I can count. Right now, I don’t know what to even think. Part of me wishes I had let her go because maybe she wouldn’t be as broken as she is right now; the other parts is grateful I’d stopped her because I wouldn’t have gotten to know Noah or the wonderful woman she is.”
