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.

She’d overheard their conversation outside the room!

Realizing this made his head buzz and his blood run cold.

His mind raced trying to find some explanation.

Instinctively he reached through the window trying to grab Her hand to keep her there just a little longer.

But seeing her time was up Avery didn’t hesitate. She closed the window.

His hand was caught turning purple–blue but he still wouldn’t pull it back.

Blood trickled down the window filling the air with a metallic smell.

Avery frowned glancing at him before lowering the window just enough to push his limp hand out.

After closing the window again she started the car leaving him with one final statement her voice razor–sharp.

“Save your fake selfish love for Sophia. I don’t want it.”
