Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 86

Ava.

It was Saturday. A day after the dinner party. Yesterday had been hectic but I was happy that it had been a success none the less.

I get out of bed and go to my bathroom for my morning routine. Even though Ethan had come back to my house with me, he didn't sleep over. He had an early start today and he didn’t want to interrupt my sleep when he it was time for him to leave.

I brush my teeth as I think about all that happened yesterday.

When Emma cornered me I had been ready for a showdown. I knew the moment Rowan walked out and found me and Emma having a face off.

I find it surprising that I could sense his presence when Emma couldn’t. I wanted to get back at Emma for all the lies she spouted. I wanted Rowan to see the kind of woman he was madly in love. I meant every single word I told her, but it was time for his eyes to be opened.

Everyone held Emma in high regards. They thought that she was perfect. That she wasn’t capable of anything bad. While that is true for the girl she used to be, it isn’t for the woman she had become.

Maybe the pain of losing Rowan all those years back had changed her. Maybe being a lawyer had cracked her interior and made her ruthless. I’ll never know. The truth still stands that she has changed a lot and not for the better.

After I finish brushing my teeth, I step into the shower. It doesn’t take me long to be done. Walking into my bedroom, I pick up my outfit for the day and put it on. Just like always I’m comfortable in jeans, t-shirt and flat shoes.

I move downstairs and start preparing breakfast for myself. I had a meeting with Mary at The Hope House at nine. It was a normal procudure that happens everytime we hold and event.

My phone vibrates with an incoming text while I was eating, interrupting my thoughts.

[Morning beautiful]

I smile at the message from Ethan. It felt so good to be wanted and desired. This is how I'd wanted things to be with Rowan but he held back. We could have had a wonderful relationship but he’d deemed unworthy of his love.

It was his loss.

I was now with a man that treasured me and that’s all I could hope for.

[Morning too] I end it with smiley emoji.

[What plans do you have for today?]

[Nothing much…I just have to stop by Hope House then I’ll be meeting Letty later on in the evening]
