Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0341

“Noah, it’s time to cut the cake.” I shout his name once I get outside.

His head turns in my direction before he rushes towards me with a big smile on his mouth. A couple minutes later, Rowan joins us after taking Iris from my parents.

“Happy birthday to you…” We all start singing, and I can tell that Noah is basking in the glory and attention.

Once we are done, he blows out the candle, and joyous shouts ring out through the entire backyard, with the majority of the happy shouts coming from our families.

Startled by the noise, Iris begins to cry, but she stops the moment both Rowan and I lay a kiss on her cheek. We didn’t plan it; it just happened, but it didn’t stop the ‘Aaaws‘ from our guests.

“Happy birthday, Noah. I love you very much. Always remember that.” I hug him tightly, and he reciprocates.

“I love you too, mom.”

He then cuts the cake. I feed him a piece, and so does Rowan. Then he reciprocates by feeding us cake too. The cake is shared among the guests, and then soon it’s time for Noah to open his gifts.

Seeing him so happy, I realize that there is just no room for regrets. Gunner was standing next to him with a big smile on his face. it’s then that it hits me. I don’t know about Emma, but I know that neither Rowan and I nor Calvin would regret our kids, despite the pain and heartache we’ve all been through.
