Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 120

Tears fill my eyes. Damn it. I’ve been so emotional these past few weeks.

“I need time” I tell her slowly. Trying to push back my emotions.

She releases a breath. “I’ll give you time if that’s what you need, but always remember that I love you. I’ve always carried you in my heart even when I thought you had died. I hope you can trust me and know that I’ll always be here for you if you need me”

Gosh. It feels so good to be wanted, but I don’t know if I can trust them yet. Only time will tell.

“Okay” I reply before hanging up.

I get what she’s saying, but I just don’t know. What if she’s just looking for someone to hang on to? I mean her beloved son, adopted or not is in prison, so maybe she just looking for someone to fill the gap. That’s what I’m afraid of. Of being used. Of being a second choice just like I was with Rowan.

I wasn’t being cold or anything like that towards them. I was just trying to protect the remaining pieces of my heart.

“Damn girl” Carol says walking towards my table.

“Fuck” I groan under my breath.

She was a junior highschool teacher and she had a way of annoying the hell out of people. Mainly because she likes to stick her nose in other people’s businesses.

“All that food” she looks at me in shock. “With the way you’ve been eating and how moody you are nowadays, one would think you’re preggo” she finishes with a laugh.

I know she was joking, but I freeze in my seat. Her words ring in my mind like a broken record. Driving fear through every fiber of my body.

She notices my behavior and frowns. “Are you okay, Ava? You have to know that I was just joking right?”
