Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0524

Calvin.

Today was a day for just chilling and relaxing. I didn't have much going on, so after Gunner and I completed the chores around the house, he asked if he could go see Emma.

I was surprised at first, but I had promised him that I would with his flow. That I would respect his decision if he wanted to get to know Emma and allow her to be in his life.

She greeted him whenever they met and talked to him, even though he didn't always say much. Honestly, I think she times things so that they can meet. Whether he's going to school and she's going to work or he's coming back from school, and she's coming back from work.

Then she sent him a birthday gift. I thought that she was trying to buy him with gifts, but that's after I read the message on the card. It was short, but heartfelt. To summarize things, she told him that she'd be giving him gifts for every birthday and Christmas she missed.

I should be irritated but I am not. I know most parents would feel betrayed by their kid if said kid chose to get to know the parent that abandoned them. I am not. To me, Gunner's happiness is the most important. If getting to know his mother and having her around will make things easier for him and make him happier, then so be it. It doesn't matter what grudges I have towards her.

Besides, I decided to move on and leave the past behind. I finally asked Kinley out and she said yes. If I want a chance with her. If I want things between us to work, then I need to let go of my past with Emma. I can't hold on to it and expect it not to affect my current relationship. I have to let go of the old in order to receive the new.
