Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 345

I didn’t sleep well last night, and it shows in the way I look this morning. I am exhausted, both mentally and physically. Rowan and I haven’t slept in the same bed since the night of our date. For the first time since then, I’d been tempted to invite him after we came home from the police station.

I walk slowly to the kitchen. It was still early, and I was probably the only one that was awake. I needed coffee ASAP because I had to take Gunner back. Calvin said he would be busy and might not be able to pick him up, so I offered to drop him off.

Yawning, I cross the threshold to the kitchen but stop dead in my tracks. Rowan was seated at the kitchen island with a steaming cup.

He turns when he hears me, and our eyes clash.

“You couldn’t sleep?” he asks, standing up.

I just nod my head as I watch him open the cupboard to get another cup. Without my asking, he pours me coffee from the pot.

“I thought I was the only one awake,” I mutter as I take a seat next to me.

“Nope”

Even now, my mind is still playing everything Brian told us. The evidence was incriminating. There was no way to prove otherwise. Brian told us that they would begin trial immediately, and with how things looked, Emma faced thirty to fifty years in prison.

Something about that bothered me. I couldn’t place it. It was in the back of my mind, but just out of reach.

“Is it about Emma?” Rowan asks, pulling me from my thoughts.
