Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 33

His face hardens and he steps into my space. “Be reasonable for once in your fucking life, Ava”

“I am being reasonable. I don’t need your help. I asked for a divorce so that you can be out of my damn life…why is it that all of a sudden you’re now so interested in helping me when you never gave a shit about me before?”

“You’re Noah’s mom so of course I fucking care and in case it has escaped your mind, I can’t be out of your life completely because we share a son, which ensures our lives are entangled” he growls, his eyes blazing.

“Only for the next ten years or so and besides being a part of Noah’s life doesn’t mean you have to be part of my life or me yours” I argue

I was getting really tired so I sit on the barstool. My head felt like it weighed a ton. I just wanted to lay down.

“Take the car” he commands once again.

“Why don’t you take it and shove it where the sun don’t shine” I snap, feeling like I’ve reached my limit.

It’s not that I was being ungrateful or anything, I just didn’t want to be indebted to him. I also didn’t want any more uncalled visits from Emma. I’m sure she wouldn’t be too pleased to know what Rowan was trying to do.

Rowan was about to speak when Letty walks into the room.

“I don’t see why you two excused yourself when we can still clearly hear you by how loud you’re screaming at each other”

We both glare at her but she doesn’t back down.

“Look, Rowan, Ava is exhausted. It’s been a tiring morning for her and I’m sure she wants to sleep, so just lay off the car issue, all you’re doing is pissing her off more. As for you Ava, accept the help offered to you in the form of Lydia. You can barely stand up straight so how are you going to manage on your own? You need someone to help you till you are better”

I think about it. I want to argue but she made sense. I needed help so maybe this once I could accept his charity.
