Ex-Husband's Regret

I sat at a private booth enjoying a piece of cake. Noah was spending the night at Rowan’s so I was

child free tonight.

I was feeling good for some reason. In that good feeling, I decided to grab something to eat. I was in the mood for some comfort food. That’s why I was currently here eating dessert like I’ve been

starved for days.

My visit to prison was eventful. I had fully expected Ethan to tell me he doesn’t want the baby. Instead I got more than I had bargained for.

His confession of love left me feeling empty in a way. He had to understand that it was too late now. I wouldn’t ever think about being with him. He tried killing me for heaven’s sake! If I go back

to him, what does that say about me?

I wasn’t cruel enough to deny him his rights as a father. Even if I didn’t want to see him personally. I could always ask Nora to take the baby to him. That was the furthest I was willing to go. The biggest effort I was willing to make when it came to Ethan. Anything beyond that would

be downright stupid.

I decided that I was done with men. I mean no good can come out of chasing love. I wanted love from two men and what I got was heartbreak and pain.

It was time for me to give up on love, because the way I see it, it doesn’t want me. It never has. I am learning to make peace with that. Now I was going to focus on being my best version. Focus on

being the best mother.

I push another piece of cake in my mouth and moan. It felt like heaven as the taste explodes in

my mouth.

“Aren’t you afraid you’ll get fat? I mean you already are, but I fear you will get fatter” the shrill

voice makes me snap my eyes open.

I groan when I open my eyes and find Anita staring at me with a mean look. Behind her were

some of her co–workers. They laugh when they hear her insulting me, but I honestly don’t care.

Right now they were all insignificant.

She was one of Rowan’s financial advisors and as you can tell, she doesn’t like me. She and
