Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0351

“What do you mean?” he asks, clearly not believing what I was saying.

Before I could answer, a knock on the door interrupted. Brian excuses himself and goes to open the door. For some reason, I’m not surprised when Rowan walks into the room.

“You’re just in time, Rowan,” Brian tells him. “Ava was just about to tell me who she thinks shot her. She believes it isn’t Emma, as the evidence clearly states.”

Rowan doesn’t say anything; he just turns and looks at me. In turn, I glare at him. I was still pretty angry, but slowly my anger was starting to fade.

“Look” I begin. “It’s not a matter of belief but of proof. I saw who shot me, and it’s not Emma. In fact, I believe she’s using Emma as a scapegoat.”

Rowan studies me before speaking: “You remembered something.” He says it more like a statement than a question.

I simply nod my head. Something flutters inside my heart. How did he read me so well? I didn’t even have to tell him anything. He just knew.

“Who was it?” Rowan asks almost in a pleading voice.

“Are you sure?” Brian asks after a while.
