Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

12. A jealous Rowan

I watch the cop that saved Ava leads her away. For some reason I hated how he was holding her hand. Like seriously, was it a must he holds her fucking hand?

I didn’t know why the hell seeing the two of them together irritated me but it did. I didn’t like whatever was going on between them.

I feel soft hands holding mine and it’s then I realize that my hands were balled into a fist.

“You okay?” Emma asks and I turn to face her.

Her beautiful face brings me back to the present.

‘She’s the one I want, the one I’ve always wanted‘ I remind myself, pushing back the thoughts of

Ava,

I didn’t want Ava so it shouldn’t bother me whether another man takes interest in her, right?

“Yeah, I am” I reply and smile at Emma.

She smiles back at me and just like the first time she did, her smile captures me. Enthralls me

and takes me back to the time when we were together.

Minutes later, Ava comes back with the cop. She is laughing at something he said. She looks so

peaceful and at ease around him.

Somethings grips my heart and the irritation that had faded comes back two folds. Damn it! What

the hell was happening to me?

I’ve never cared for her much, so why the fuck did I feel like punching Ethan to a bloody pulp? =

“Aren’t you going to say hi to us?” Travis‘ asks Ava,

He had put down his gun and taken off his earmuffs off.

Gabe does the same and comes to stand beside me. We were twins but we weren’t identical.

Looking at us side by side, you wouldn’t even tell that we were actually twins.

Ava gives her brother a cool look. The warmth that was on her face a few seconds ago completely

gone.

“No, there is no need for that” she answers.

do you mean there isn’t any need, we are family?” Travis asks in a hard tone. Irritation in his
