Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 19

Eye opener
Rowan.

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

mind still on the fact that Ava ignored my call yet again. If it wasn’t for hiring Lydia, I doubt I

would ever know how she was fairing.

I still can’t believe how much she’s fucking changed. It was safe to say that the AvaI knew was

long gone and in her place is a total stranger.

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

though.

I should be happy that she was keeping her distance. That she wasn’t causing me trouble, but a

part of me was bothered by it. It was so fucking strange how bothered I was and I hated how she

was now constantly on my fucking mind.

I eventually give up on trying to focus and stand up. Moving to the windows, I stare outside, trying

to clear Ava from my mind.

I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even hear her entering my office.

“Let him in” I turn to face her before going back to my chair.

Brian, the chief enters just as I was settling down. We shake hands and then he takes his seat.

“Do you have anything for me?” I ask him.

Brian was around sixty years. Despite his age, he was still fit and on top of that, he was still sharp.

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