Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0140

We didn’t talk after that. Lunch was downright awkward as we both ate silently. My mind was reeling from his apology. I don’t know what he was expecting from me, but I sure hope it was not forgiveness. Not now

at least.

After finishing our lunch he took me back home. The drive was also quiet. Both of us lost in our own thoughts. I just didn’t know how to take him in. Didn’t know what to do with this new version of him. It was all so new and strange to say the least.

“Thank you” I tell him once we reach my home. “For being with me at the appointment and for the lunch”

“It was no problem” he tries to smile but it doesn’t reach his eyes.

I nod and begin to get out. He stops me by grabbing my hand.

“I want you to let me know anytime you have appointments” he tells me, his eyes staring deep into mine.

I stare at him once again, unable to understand what the hell was going on in his damn mind.

“Why the hell would I do that?” I ask in confusion, pulling my hand from his.

His touch was suddenly too much. It felt like it was burning.

“Because I want to be there for you” he simply replies.

“And again I ask you, why? You weren’t there during when I was pregnant with Noah, but now you want to attend appointments for a baby that isn’t yours? Do you know how crazy that looks?
