Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 79

Kidnapped again
Today I wasn’t in the best of moods. Mainly because Noah was still mad at me for kicking Rowan out I thought I had covered things up well. It turns out that he could see past my bullshit.

At times like this, I wish that we hadn’t pretended in front of Noah. I know that we thought we were protecting him. That we were giving him a happy childhood. All we did was deceive him.

Now he has it in his head that we were once in love and that we can be again.

I don’t know how to tell him the truth without breaking his little heart. I don’t know how to tell

him that everything he believes about me and Rowan is a lie.

My biggest fear is that he’ll hate us for lying to him if the truth comes out. Then again we can’t continue like this. We can’t continue with him believing that there is a chance for me and Rowan.

I sigh and get out of bed. I had gone back to sleep after Noah left for school. As the days progress,

the bigger I get and the more tired I feel.

Dragging my feet, I head to the bathroom and take a shower. It still doesn’t take away the fatigue

from my bones. Deciding on a dress, I put on a white spaghetti strap dress with blue flowers on it.

It reached just above my knees and showed my belly. Since my parents now knew the truth about

my pregnancy, it was time to stop hiding it.

Not in the mood to do my makeup, I opt for just concealer to cover up my dark under eyes.

I leave my room and get downstairs just as my doorbell rings.

I was really not in the mood to see or talk to anyone. Not when I was feeling like shit.

I open my front door and wish that I hadn’t. Travis was standing on my door step looking

disheveled. (1

I go to close the door, but he stops it before I can slam it on his face.

“Please Ava” he begs tiredly.

“What do you want?” I ask, my voice cold even to my own ears.

It was really funny how much my voice automatically changes nowadays. I don’t even put any

effort in it. It just grows cold and unattached. As if I was speaking to a total stranger.

“Can I come in?” he asks.
