Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 348

Rowan.

I stare at my blank laptop screen, not really in the mood to work. Noah was playing video games, and Iris was sleeping. It’s been a while since Ava left to drop off Gunner; she should be back by now.

Since her shootout, my worry for her has been constant. I can’t get rid of the fear that engulfs me every time she’s outside. I can’t get over the fear that I’ll lose her to death. I almost did once, and that has left it’s mark on me.

I’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe. Including sending the one that hurt her to a place where she won’t ever be able to hurt Ava again.

Sighing I stand up. The other thing that bothered me was Ava's revelation today. I don’t understand why and how she believes that Emma is innocent. I realized it too late, but Emma has been after Ava since she noticed that my feelings for Ava had changed.

Like I said, I could vouch for the Emma I fell in love with when we were teenagers, but not for the woman she's become. There are so many things that have pointed out that Emma has become something different.

I mean, come one. She denied her own flesh and blood, hid him and the fact that she’s his mother, and went on with life like Gunner didn’t exist. If she could do that, do you honestly think that killing someone to get her out of the way is above her? I don’t think so. I know Ava wants to believe that Emma is innocent, but I don’t.

I turn and look at my desk when my phone rings. I pick it up, but I’m disappointed that it’s not Ava’s name flashing on the screen.

This morning has been amazing. Just sitting with her and talking made it one of my favorite things to do in the morning. Seeing that she was receptive and not distant, I’d wanted to spend the rest of the day with her and our kids.

"Hello." My voice is gruff, even for my own years.

“It’s me”

He didn’t have to tell me who he was; I already knew. Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like Reaper, but for some reason I’ve grown closer to him these past couple of months. I would go as far as to say I trusted him, but let’s fucking not.

“I know that, Reaper.”
