Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 318

Chapter 0318 

I look at myself in the mirror, happy with how I look. My hair was in a low bun, with curled tendrils framing my face. Tonight I wanted something different since it was my first ever date with Rowan, so I decided on a subtle but sexy, smoky eyeshadow and red lipstick. 

As for my dress, I picked a black knee–length dress. It has a plunging neckline that is delicately held together by thin straps. It highlighted just the right amount of cleave, enough to tease but not come out as trashy. It had an open back that I was sure would drive any man crazy. 

I continue staring at myself as I run my hand down the soft fabric. The dress was figure- hugging, and thanks to being pregnant, I now had curves in all the right places. 

“Damn, babes… if I wasn’t straight, I would’ve definitely done you.” Letty praised, happiness dripping from her voice. “You’re sexy. Hell has nothing on your hotness.” 

“She’s right,” Corrine chimes in. 

They had left a couple of hours ago. We were now on Skype, since I wanted to get their honest 

opinion. This date was important. Like I said, it’s Rowan and I’s first date, so I wanted 

everything to be perfect. 

“Thank you,” I smile at them. 

I take a seat on the bed and put my heels on. I honestly don’t remember the last time I dressed up or wore heels. Rowan rarely took me out before, even for work dinners, so I didn’t really have an opportunity to dress up. 

I don’t know if that changed later, but I’m guessing it did since I remember how amazing I 

looked when Ethan came to get me. Shaking those thoughts from my mind, I focus on my date 

ahead. 

“I’m nervous though,” I admit. “What if we don’t click? I know we are married, but what if we realize that we aren’t compatible? Or what if something else terrible happens?” 

Damn, this was so hard. A part of me wanted to cancel the entire thing because I was nervous and afraid. The other part just wanted to take the risk and just be in the moment. 

I’ve wanted to experience this for so long. I always wanted Rowan to court me, to woo me, but he wasn’t interested. Now it’s finally happening, and all I can think of is everything that could 

go wrong. 

“Stop it, Ava; you’re going to drive yourself crazy.” Letty admonishes me. I see a shadow behind her, and I’m sure’it’s Travis since they live together. “Just live in the moment. Take a leap of faith and enjoy going out for dinner.” 

Corrine doesn’t say anything, but she shows her approval by nodding her head.

I take a calming breath before releasing it. “You’re right. I’m just overthinking things.” 

“Exactly. Be happy and enjoy tonight. You deserve to be happy, babe, and you deserve to be with the man of your dreams,” Letty gushed, her smile bright and brilliant. 

After we’d talked for a while, we hung up. I take my purse and give myself one last look. Corrine and Letty were right. I did look sexy, and I was loving it. 

I head downstairs, where I hear Rowan and Noah before I can see them. Rowan had gotten ready in the guest bedroom while I used the masters. 

I was nervous because I was dying to see his reaction. I’ve never dressed up for him, so I know seeing me like this will be a surprise for him. 

I find them in the kitchen. Rowan was rocking Iris and blowing bubbles on her belly. She was screaming in laughter, which warmed my heart. Noah sat next to his father, looking all broody. 

“Are you ready?” I ask, making Rowan look up. 

At first, it’s like his mind goes blank, then he takes a double take, his eyes moving slowly down my body. I see him swallow as his eyes darken into dark grey storms. Oh yeah, he definitely liked what he was seeing. 

“You’re drooling, Dad,” Noah tells him with a small chuckle. 

I can’t stop the smirk that forms on my lips. Slowly, he stands up and walks the short distance to me. Holding Iris with one hand, he uses the other to grab me and pull me flush against his body before kissing the daylights out of me. 

I hear Noah groan behind him. 

Using all my might, I pull away from him. “You’re going to ruin my lipstick.” 

“Don’t really care,” he fires back, his eyes still on my lips 

“Are you ready? We don’t want to be late,” I ask him, stepping away from his heat that seemed to want to suck me back into his embrace. 

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the way his eyes seemed to be stuck on me. This is a whole new experience. Something I never thought would ever happen, so yeah, I was enjoying this so damn much. 

“We don’t really have to go,” he murmurs, his voice coming out throaty and hoarse. 

“You’re the one who wanted this date, big man.” I chuckle, “So come on, it’s time for us to go” 

He agrees reluctantly before he yells for Teresa. When she comes, she takes Iris from his arms. 

“You look lovely, Ava,” she tells me sweetly.
