Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 441

This is Ava we are talking about. I always saw her as a rival since the day I realized that she had a thing for Rowan. I never hated her, but I wouldn’t say I loved her either even though I thought she was my sister. To me, she was just Ava. She didn’t really exist in my world. My hatred however came to life when I learned she slept with Rowan.

Ava shakes her head as if to clear it, then walks over to me, “What are you doing?”

“I have a therapy appointment”

A small smile forms on her lips as she tilts her head to stare at me. “Then you’ve come to the right place. Dr Mia is the best in the city. She’s been my therapist since Ethan got arrested.”

I expected to see hate or bitterness for Ethan because of what he did, but there was none. She just smiled fondly when she said his name.

The secretary behind me tells me that my therapist is ready for me. I start to fidget. All the reassurance I had a couple of minutes ago flies out of the window.

I’m jolted from my mini panic when soft and warm hands engulf mine. I look up to find Ava smiling at me and holding my hand.

“You are nervous” she simply states and I nod.

“You don’t have to be, Emma. This is the first step to healing. I promise”

I hear her words, but they are just jumbled. My heart is racing and so is my mind. I’m nervous and a part of me wants to run and hide, because I’m afraid of coming face to face with my mistakes. With my demons.

“How about I stay here and wait for you?” she asks when I don’t seem to be calming down. “If I stay right here, will knowing I’m outside help you?”

I stop and think for a while.

“Yes, I think it will” I answer in a small voice, barely above a whisper.

“Perfect, come then”

She holds my hand and pulls me towards the door. When we get to it, she gives me a small shove after telling me she’ll be right outside, before closing the door behind me.
