Adopted to Biological? Keep Your Golden Child Scapegoat Out novel Chapter 55

Chapter 19

The forgiveness and excitement Ethan expected didn’t appear on Avery’s face.

Those simple two words froze his expression instantly.

He couldn’t understand it. He’d just poured his heart out to her. Why didn’t she care?

Looking at her cold face through the window he felt like he couldn’t breathe.

But time was running out. He had to continue baring his soul with no holds barred.

“Avery please. You’re the only one I want now.” His voice grew desperate. “Give me one more chance! I swear I’ll never mess up again. I’ll tell everyone about us. I’ll treat you like I used to. We can get engaged right away if you want! I’ll give you the future you want. I promise.”

Every word Ethan spoke was filled with absolute certainty.

Seeing his sincere expression, Avery lowered her head her eyes clearing.

Two months ago these words would have meant everything to her.

Unfortunately there are no do–overs in life.

And she didn’t want any future with him anyway.

“I don’t think I’m the one you love and I don’t see a future for us. If that’s all you wanted to say then let me be clear: you and me? Never gonna happen.”

The last bit of hope in Ethan’s heart was severed.

His face darkened. His body trembled slightly. Veins bulged on his clenched fists.

His grief–stricken eyes looked deeply into hers his voice choked with emotion.

“Why Avery? I know I screwed up! Why can’t you forgive me?” His voice cracked. “Don’t you remember saying you only wanted to be with me? Don’t you remember promising we’d never be apart?”

Of course Avery remembered saying those things.

After all she’d once considered Ethan and their relationship the most important precious thing in her life.

But all promises have an expiry, tied to the time she still loved him.

Now she and Ethan were practically strangers.

Chapter 19

What was the point of talking about promises or past connections?

So she didn’t give him the chance to continue his performance of regret.

“Did you forget telling me I was just ‘buddy‘? That life with me would be boring? Did you forget saying you’d never love me? Did you forget telling me you never wanted to see the again? You remember everything except the parts

that hurt me?”

Ethan’s face gradually crumbled under her powerful words

The thoughtless jokes and angry comments he’d made were now boomeranging back hitting him right in the heart.

He kept shaking his head trying to deny it all.

“No Avery it wasn’t like that! I didn’t know I loved you then which is why I said-”

“What about when you bragged to your buddies at the bar about ‘childhood sex buddy‘? Did you think about the consequences then?”

With that one sentence Ethan finally understood.

He realized why she’d confronted Sophia at the bar that night. Why after that evening they could never go back to

how things were.

She’d overheard their conversation outside the room!
