Chapter 361
Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 0361
Iâm now mature enough to better understand Rowan and his actions.. He lost the woman he thought he
would spend the rest of his life with. If | were in his shoes, | would have reacted the same way. | would
have taken out my anger on the person responsible for my pain, just like | tried taking out my anger on
him after our divorce by treating him with nothing but hate and bitterness.
âI'm so sorry it took me this long to see how much | hurt you back thenâ | whisper, feeling overwhelmed.
âFor so long | was bitter. Especially after Emma came back and | realized that | could never be what
you wanted or desired. | held for so long, and maybe if | hadnât, you and Emma would have gotten a
chance at a life together. Iâm really sorry. You'll never know just how sorry | amâ
| pull myself back when | feel strong hands on mine. Iâm surprised to see that heâd crossed to my side
and was now sitting right next to me.
He takes a deep breath and | hold on to his hand like a damn lifeline. What | did to you was much
worse. The pain that | put you through the years is something | donât think I'll ever be able to forgive
myself. | too was selfish because | saw your pain but | rationalized that you fucking deserve it and for
that Iâm sorry Ava. Iâm sorry that | took i too far. Sorry that | trampled over your love and destroyed your
heart. Iâm so fucking sorry | caused you so much heartacheâ
| couldn't listen anymore because the dam I'd been holding back, breaks and everything pours out. |
couldnât hold back my tears anymore when | saw how remorseful Rowan is and how this hurts
lode
him.
âIt took seeing you with someone else for me to realize how much | wanted you. It took almost losing
you to someone else to see how much | love you. | pushed you into another manâs arms, and | canât tell

you just how agonizing it was knowing that you were moving on with someone who wasnât me. That
you were actively trying to put me in your past. That the pain | caused you made you wish that youâd
never met me. That you regretted ever loving.â
| try to wipe away my tears, but they just keep falling down like twin rushing rivers. They were endless.
âKnowing how much | hurt you now, breaks my fucking heart into
pieces. | know you deserve better, and | should let you go so that you
can find a better man, but Iâll be selfish one more time and hold on to you because | canât imagine life
without you. Please give me a chance, Ava. Give me a chance to show you that my heart belongs to
you and that | love you with every fiber of my being, please?â
His words touch my heart. How did he manage to turn this around? was the one who was supposed to
pour my heart out, yet he completely flipped things on me.
âOh, Rowan... Youâve got to realize that | love, that Iâve always loved you from the moment | set eyes
on you when we were kids. | tried my best to kill that love and pretend that it didnât exist, but | was lying
because it still remained even after everything.â | tell him, swiping the tears from my face.

âDoes that mean you're giving me a chance?â His tone is hopeful, an his eyes are bright, reflecting that
same hopefulness.
âA thousand times yes.â
âFuck, Ava, | love you so fucking much,â he growls right before he captures my mouth in a scorching
kiss.
Rowan.
It was meant to be a quick kiss, but she deepened it. She moans in

my mouth, which sends blood rushing to my cock. | crave her. | want her. Iâve missed her.
| pull her from her position on the sofa and lift her to my lap. She immediately straddles me, without
even breaking the kiss. My cock hardens as | feel her heat through her panties and it nearly drives me
insane.
