Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

76. Mirror, mirror on the wall…

1 swivel around. Shocked to see Rowan standing behind me.

Could this day get any worse? I ask myself, groaning internally.

“Rowan?” I shriek, caught off guard. “What the hell are you doing here?”

Of all the times I had to bump into him, why now when I was standing in front of a S** toy shop?

This had to be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever experienced.

“I could ask you the same thing?” He says looking behind me.

I feel my cheeks redden, because I know nothing I say will get me out of the situation. I was standing in front of the shop and its windows displayed a variety of S** toys. It was hard to shrug off what kind of store this was.

I look back at the store before facing him nervously. I don’t know why I was nervous, but I was.

“I’m here to shop for maternity clothings and buy some things for the baby,” I lie.

He looks at me. His left eyebrow raised. “In a S** shop? I don’t think you’ll find what you’re looking

for here, unless you have other things in mind”

The tilt of his mouth lets me know that he was teasing me, which was a completely new concept

to me.

Instead of answering him, I start walking in the other direction. I expected him to at least leave

me alone, but he doesn’t. Instead he falls in step with me.

“I didn’t take you for a woman who would use S** toys” he says, making me halt in my steps.

What the hell was wrong with him. Why the hell was he even bringing this up? Didn’t he get the memo that I wanted nothing to do with him? That I didn’t want him near me. It was the reason

why I walked away in the first place.

“First of all, you don’t know the type of woman I am. You never did, mainly because you thought I was beneath you or something and second of all, what’s wrong with using dildos and vibrators to

pleasure myself? I am a human being with needs, and they have to be fulfilled one way or another.

Now leave me the hell alone”
