Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0130
Ava
I sat at a private booth enjoying a piece of cake. Noah was spending the night at Rowan’s so I was child
free tonight.
I was feeling good for some reason. In that good feeling. I decided to grab something to eat. I was in the
mood for some comfort food. That’s why I was currently here eating dessert like I’ve been starved for
days.
My visit to prison was eventful. I had fully expected Ethan to tell me he doesn’t want the baby. Instead I
got more than I had bargained for.
His confession of love left me feeling empty in a way. He had to understand that it was too late now. I
wouldn’t ever think about being with him. He tried killing me for heaven’s sake! If I go back to him, what
does that say about me?
I wasn’t cruel enough to deny him his rights as a father. Even if I didn’t want to see him personally. I could
always ask Nora to take the baby to him. That was the furthest I was willing to go. The biggest effort I was
willing to make when it came to Ethan. Anything beyond that would be downright stupid.
I decided that I was done with men. I mean no good can come out of chasing love. I wanted love from
two men and what I got was heartbreak and pain.
It was time for me to give up on love, because the way I see it, it doesn’t want me. It never has. I am
learning to make peace with that. Now I was going to focus on being my best version. Focus on being the
best mother.

I push another piece of cake in my mouth and moan. It felt like heaven as the taste explodes in my mouth.
“Aren’t you afraid you’ll get fat? I mean you already are, but I fear you will get fatter” the shrill voice makes
me snap my eyes open.
I groan when I open my eyes and find Anita staring at me with a mean look. Behind her were some of her
co–workers. They laugh when they hear her insulting me, but I honestly don’t care. Right now they were all
insignificant.
She was one of Rowan’s financial advisors and as you can tell, she doesn’t like me. She and Christine
have always been on the ‘hate Ava boat‘.
I never really understood where their hate came from. Sure I was married to Rowan. Who they both
wanted, but anyone with a brain could tell that Rowan hated my guts.

“I’m talking to you fat bitch” she screeches when I continue to ignore her.
“Sure, talk away. Doesn’t mean I have to listen to a fucking word you say I respond before drinking a
glass of juice.
Back when we married, I always kept quiet when she would say awful things to me. I was so desperate to please Rowan, to get
him to like me, that I let his workers walk all over me. Part of me wanted to believe he was oblivious to their mean treatments, but
I just can’t let myself think that he didn’t know.
“You think you’re something now that you’re apparently rich?” she sneers. “I bet you got your money by
getting on your back”
At that, I laugh. These kind of women are so insecure that they think everyone gets to the top by
spreading their legs.

I speak after my laugh dies down. “I’m not you, Anita”
“You bitch! How dare you” she goes to lunge at me, but I stand up and glare at her.
I was done letting these stupid idiots walk over me.
I snap, my eyes narrowing in slits. “The Aval
Take one more step towards me and you’re going to regret you knew took your insults lying down, I promise I won’t. You push
me, I’ll push back harder and I fucking
swear you won’t like what I do”
She looks behind her, before fixing her green eyes on me. She dragged her friends to my table expecting
to humiliate me. The jokes on her, though.
“Are you threatening me?” she walks towards me, trying to intimidate me.
