Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

65. Our daughter

“Please come in” Letty says behind me, startling the crap out of me.

I realize that I had just been staring at them like a fool. Too lost in my head to say anything to

them

I move aside and let them through. My mind still reeling from the fact that The Howell’s were in

my house right now. Also that they were potentially my family.

“How are you even out?” I ask turning to face Ethan the moment we were all seated.

“Bail” is all he said, his eyes looking everywhere except in my direction.

Yesterday Brian had asked me if I wanted to press charges against Ethan. He said that it would

make our case stronger against him.

I wasn’t able to give him an answer because I wasn’t sure. Yes, I get what he did to me was

horrible and I don’t know if I can ever forgive him or forget. (3)

awkward atmosphere.

I just stare at her. I didn’t know what to feel honestly. The fact that she still called her his son

meant that she was okay with what he did. If she was, then I am not sure I want her in my life if

that the case, and if it turns out that she is my mother,
