Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 14

We stand there after that. I was shifting from one foot to another feeling hella awkward. He stares at me, his blue eyes searching my soul. I shift my gaze to avoid his penetrating one.

“Ethan” Someone calls and I turn to see another officer motioning to him.

“Coming” Ethan shouts before turning to me. “I’m happy to see you beautiful, I’ll see you around, yeah?”

“Yeah” I mumble.

With that he, gives me an unexpected hug before walking away. I’m left there wondering what the hell just happened.

I shake myself from the stupor after a while and begin walking. I needed to buy some grocery and since the store wasn’t that far from school, I decide to walk.

The sling was removed and even though my shoulder was sore and sometime ached, it was still functional. I thought about everything I needed to buy but at the forefront was my interaction with Ethan.

The way he treated me was so different from how Rowan treated me that I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I’ve never had anyone tell me I’m beautiful. Nor have I ever had a man even wink at me.

The few interactions I’ve heard with Ethan made me feel like I was actually attractive but I also knew I couldn’t count on that. I mean if my own husband didn’t find me attractive then how could other men think that I am?

‘Stop being silly’ I laugh at myself.
