Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0204

Ava

“Mommy, are you almost done?” Noah yells through my bedroom door. “It’s almost time. We are going to

be late.

“Just give me a sec” I yell back as I quickly put on my outfit for the day.

Nowadays, I’m more comfortable with dresses, so that’s what I had on. I had on a cute sundress with thin straps and that reached above my knees. I paired them with sandals. Since we were going to spend most of the time walking, I assumed they will be more comfortable.

My hair was in in a curled pony tail with loose tendrils framing my face. I didn’t have much make up on. Mainly because I felt too lazy to do it.

I didn’t want to do this whole thing. I easily get tired nowadays and I didn’t want to ruin the day by being

worn out too quickly. The smile on Noah’s and Gunner’s faces is what made me change my mind. They

were both so excited for this day.

Gunner needed this after what happened last week. He needed to feel loved and treasured. I hoped that

being surrounded by those that love him will give him new memories Memories that would replace those few painful ones of his mother.

I take my purse and open my door only to find Noah waiting for me outside,

“I’m ready. Let’s go”

Just as I finished the sentence, we hear a honk outside my house. I guess that both Calvin and Gunner were also ready to go.

Since were going to the same place, we saw no need for travelling separately. We decided that we would take Cal’s car since it was bigger and that he would be driving.

“I’m so excited…I’ve been waiting for this day since you agreed” Noah says as he gently pulls me down. the stair while being mindful of my condition. “I even called dad yesterday. He was sounded funny, but I let him know that I won’t be home today”

I’m surprised that he called Rowan. He usually tells me when he’s going to call his father. He never mentioned it yesterday though

that. Mostly it’s the kids that engage us in their conversation. Those two surprised me at how in sync they were with each other. They were even finishing each other’s sentences which Calvin found hilarious.
