Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 19

I sat at my desk going through some papers that needed my attention. I try to focus but I can’t. My

When Emma decided that she was moving back, I was afraid that Ava would cause us problems.

That she would be a nuisance like she was back when she was a teenager. She proved me wrong

He was a retired detective and had also served in the army when he was younger.
