Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 78

We’ll always love you
Ava

The moment I saw my parents on my doorstep I knew that they had seen the damn article.

Letty had sent me the link a few minutes after I got home. It pissed me off more than I already

was. I hadn’t been ready to let others know and the damn paparazzi had blasted it on the entire

internet.

I wasn’t even worried about the others reaction. My worry was solely on mom and dad’s reaction. I

just haven’t found a way to tell them that I was pregnant. The entire thing was even more

complicated since Ethan was still not talking to them.

The article had disappeared a few minutes before my parents arrived. I had a strong suspicion

that Rowan had something to do with it.

Just his name brought anger like no other. I shake the thoughts of what happened in the

changing room and focus on my parents who were staring at me questioningly.

“You saw the article didn’t you?” I ask the obvious.

The house was quiet. Mainly because Noah wasn’t back from school yet.

“Yes” dad responds, his eyes piercing mine.

“I know we haven’t had a lot of time with you, Ava, but why didn’t you tell us?” Mom whispers in a

small voice. “A baby is a blessing and I thought we were past the point where you feel you can’t

talk to us”

I feel how hurt she is. It hurts me to know that I’ve hurt them. They’ve been nothing but amazing

to me. The kind of parents I’ve always wanted. Always wished for. How do I explain to them that I

wanted to, I just didn’t know how to get it out?

“You have to believe that I wanted to tell you so many times, I just didn’t know how to?” I whisper

back. My eyes on my shaky hands.

“Why would you have a hard time telling us?” dad brows frown in confusion. He was trying to

figure out my reasons but none seemed to be making sense.

“Because of who the father is”

I hear mom’s sharp intake of air. “You mean Rowan isn’t the father?

Why does everyone think Rowan is the one that got me pregnant? We were divorced for fucks sake.

I nod my head, still looking down. I didn’t know it back then but fact remains that I slept with my

adopted brother. I am sure Ethan never told them those specific details, which makes telling

them all the more difficult. It is even more messed up that Ethan knew the whole damn time and

yet he still went ahead and slept with me.

“You have to know that we will never judge you Ava. Whoever the father is, it doesn’t matter” mom

adds when she sees I’m still hesitant.

“Even if the father of my baby is Ethan?” I choke out.

It still felt like a damn sin. Ethan and I weren’t related, but he was their son in every way.
