Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 108

Another note
Ava

I haven’t been able to get the freaking note out of my head. It’s all I think about.

I wanted to believe that it was nothing but a prank, but I’m not so sure. Not when I get a bad

feeling every time I read it.

I’ve thought about reporting, but I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. It was just one note. What

if Cal was right and it turned out that it was just a stupid prank?

My phone rings, making me jump. I put the mop down and pick it up. When I see Rowan’s name

flashing, I almost hang up, but I don’t.

“Hello.” I force my voice to sound emotionless.

“Hey, how are you?” he asks, sounding a bit unsure.

I swear, I’ll never get used to this version of Rowan. It was just so unlike him. It’s like he woke up

one day and was a different person. If he has truly changed, then it’s going to take some time to

get used to him.

“Did you need anything?”

“Yeah. I just want to let you know that I’ll be going on a business trip for a few days,” he informs

me, which makes me a bit confused.

“Oh, okay, so you wanted me to let Noah know?”

Noah was at school. He will be disappointed since he doesn’t like Rowan going on trips, but he’ll

understand nonetheless.

He pauses before answering. “He already knows, but I wanted you to know too.”

I’m a bit stunned. Rowan never used to tell me when he went on business trips. He would leave in

the morning and not come back. It’s as I set aside food for him that Noah would let me know that

Rowan wasn’t coming back. He used to tell our son, but not me.
