Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 18

Compromising
“My name is Lydia, Miss Sharp” the nurse says, her smile still in place.

I study her My eyes scrutinizing her. I then turn to Letty who was also doing the same thing

“I never hired any nurse” I tell both of them “I want to say you got the wrong house, but that’s moot since you know my name, so the only option left is that someone else hired you or this is just a ruse”

Don’t get me wrong. Having a nurse to take care of my needs for the next couple of days or weeks

would be great, but this was just weird.

Lydia sets her bag down before turning to face me. “I was hired by Mr. Wood and was told to report immediately”

A groan of annoyance leaves my lips. I am surprised and pissed at the same time that he would do

this The moment I decide I don’t want or need his help is when he decides to be a hero Where

was he all those times during our marriage when I needed him? He ignored me and treated me

like I didn’t exist.

“I’m sorry you wasted you time coming here, but you have to leave.” I tell her, laying gently

against the sofa

I wouldn’t accept anything from Rowan The only solid ground we had was our son and that was it

I didn’t want him in my life in any other capacity except as Noah’s father. Besides, I was used to

taking care of myself I’ve done it since I can remember.

“I’m sorry madam, but he told me not to leave your house despite how stubborn you get

Her tone of voice was getting on my nerve She talked to me as if I was an errant child I was

irritable and pissed off and I wanted nothing but to smack that polite smile off her face.

“Look, this is my damn house and Rowan has no say here. So you better leave before I decide to call the cops on you” I snap, finally reaching my limits.

An unsure looks cuts through her face She wants to obey Rowan’s instructions but she is also not

sure that I won’t follow up on my threat

Before she can answer there is another knock on my door What the hell? Is this ‘come to Ava’s

house day or something?

“Looks like you have another visitor” Letty states the obvious before leaving the room.

She comes back with an unfamiliar man in uniform and who had a clipboard in his hands.

“Who is Ava Sharp?” he asks, and I taise my hand unsteadily
