Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 30

“I’m Scarlet but you can call me Letty…I’m your brother’s girlfriend”

I should have never listen to my stupid instincts.

“Yeah, we are done here…please leave”

I wanted nothing to do with anyone from my so called family. They were bound to be just like them and I was done letting such people into my life.

“Please just hear me out” she pleads and against my best judgement I do.

I don’t know what it is about her but I’m at ease around her even though she is basically a stranger and I am not one to trust easily.

“Look, I know what Travis did isn’t good. I may love the idiot but I can also admit that he was terrible to you. No matter what you did, you didn’t deserve to be treated the way he and the rest have treated you.

I’ve wanted for a while to come and see you but I was afraid that you will turn me down but then I heard what happened to you and I just had to come. I know you don’t know me or trust me but I’m hoping that you will give me a chance to change that”

I move around and get my feet on the sofa, leaning back on the armrest.

“Does he know you are here?”

“The man doesn’t dictate my life but he does know that I am here, we don’t keep secrets from each other”

She loves him, that’s obvious. Travis isn’t a bad guy, to others at least, but to me he has been nothing but a thorn. Always putting me down, hating on me and just treating me like a villain.

I wanted to shut her down but a small part is against that. Something tells me that if I give her a chance then I wouldn’t regret it. It was time I expanded my circle. I couldn’t continue shutting people out.

“I’ll give you a chance on one condition” I say in defeat.

Maybe it was the drugs or maybe something else but I decide to take a leap of faith. After all, what’s the worst that can happen?

‘Famous last words’ a voice whispers in my head

“What’s your condition?”

“You never mention Travis or his family to me. I don’t want anything to do with him or them”

I can see the battle waging inside her. She is debating, deciding whether it the right call or not. If she can have a friendship with me without involving the others.
