Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0080

"Tell you what?"

"Everything... The Hope Foundation and the fact that you aren't hurting for money. Why did you let all of us look down on you?"

She snorts before turning to fully face me. "And when was I supposed to tell you? You barely wanted to be around me and you would even go to great lengths to make sure we aren't together for long."

I stare at her. Looking deep in her brown eyes. There was something new in them. Something that wasn't there before. There was also something missing.

She continues as she looks outside towards the garden. "Besides would you even have been interested? As far as I can remember, you didn't particularly care about anything that concerned me"Please bookmark site popsnovel.com to read lastest content.

My eyes drift as I watch people walking in and outside of the garden. She was right. I had been a cold bastard. I rationalized at that time that I didn't need to care about what the woman who had destroyed my life was doing.

I resented Ava and it showed in the way I fucking treated her for years. I always prided myself in being a good person, but looking back I have to admit that I had been prick. So much so that my wife kept a whole part of her life a secret to me.

"About Emma..." I go to apologize for the words I carelessly threw at her but she cuts me off.

"Don't worry about it, I'm not after you Rowan and I don't plan to come between you and Emma, you can rest assured that all the love I had for you is dead. You managed to kill it." She takes a steadying breath. "Loving you was the biggest mistake I have ever made and I don't plan on continuing with that mistake"

Fuck, why the hell did it feel like someone took a fucking sledge hammer to my heart at those words?

"I will always be thankful because you gave me Noah. He's the only good thing you've given me since I've known you. I regret falling in love with you but I will never regret our son."

She turns around and faces the door to the room. She smiles and I swivel around to look at what she's staring at. Her eyes were on Ethan.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you" she says her eyes still on the fucking bastard. "I'm sorry that my mistake tore you from Emma, I know no one believes me, especially you, but I was drunk that night. Anyway, I wish you the best with your new relationship"
As if feeling eyes on him, Ethan turns and fucking smiles at Ava.

"I plan to stay away from your life and I ask you do the same. Don't come to my house, don't hire bodyguards for me, don't call me unless it concerns Noah and even then I prefer you pass any

messages to your lawyer then he can forward it to mine" Her eyes were still fixed on Ethan.

The way she looked at him let me know that something was going on between them. I didn't like the uncomfortable feeling I was having inside me.

She finally faces me. "I think I've said all there is to say...goodbye, Rowan" she then begins walking towards the door.

My heart is screaming for her to stop and I clench my fist against the unknown need to pull her to me.

She stops and then turns around. "One more thing, please assure Emma that I don't want anything to do with you and on that note, you might want to get the truth from her. If you want your
relationship to work, then it can't be built on lies she told just to get me into trouble"

With that she walks away.

"Ava..." her names leaves my lips in a fucking plea.

I watch as Ethan meets her half way. He then takes her hand and leads her outside. I face forward just in time to see them making their way into the garden.

It takes everything in me to stop myself from losing control when I see Ethan kissing her. I quickly turn around to avoid seeing them. My fucking heart drumming in my chest.

This is what I wanted. That she would move on and leave me and Emma the hell alone. I got what I wanted. 2

She was stepping aside. She had a new man. So why the hell did it feel like it was one big fucking mistake? Why did it feel like something inside me was dying?

She was supposed to be the wrong woman. Yet now that she walked away, I can't help but feel lost.
