Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 45

Ava

I’m still reeling from Rowan’s actions a couple of days ago. I don’t get what the hell has gotten into him. Was he trying to jeopardize his relationship with Emma? Did he want to get me into more trouble with her?

She already thought that I was out to get her man. That I was doing everything I can to take him away from her. What she didn’t understand is that I just wanted peace. I didn’t want Rowan. I’ve been there, tried that and learned my lesson the hard way.

“Are you sure about that?” an annoying little voice asked me. “You can’t deny that you liked the kiss. That’s how you always imagined him kissing you. With nothing but want and passion”

I shake the thought away. It was wrong. I was determined to move on from Rowan and find a life and love of my own. Just because my body betrayed me didn’t mean anything. My response was purely biological. There was nothing more to it.

“Keep lying to yourself” the voice argued

I wasn’t lying to myself. Or maybe I was, bottom line is I wasn’t going to read into Rowan uncharacteristic behavior or his unexpected kiss.

Pushing thoughts of Rowan completely to the back of my mind, I focus on the door to the coffee shop. It was five and I had just gotten out of work. Letty and I had made plans to meet up before going home.

I take a bite of my cake just as the door opens and Letty walks in. Her eyes searches the sea of people before finally landing on me. She rushes towards me, a smile on her face.

“I’m so sorry I’m late, we had a last minute meeting at the office” she says as she takes a seat opposite me.

I smile back at her. “It’s okay. No worries”

“I see you’ve already ordered” she points out.

“I missed lunch so I was a bit hungry”

She nods her head before making her order. When that’s done, she turns and faces me. Giving me her full attention.

“So tell me, how did your date with Ethan go?”
