Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M
Chapter 216

Chapter 0216

"I joined college and continued working further on myself. I became unrecognizable. I drowned in college life. The girls, parties, and booze. Life was great. I had girls all over me. I had my pick from a large pool

could have someone else'

Ava nods her head in understanding. I know she didn't enjoy college life. Not after she fell pregnant at eighteen. She then became a mother and wife. She didn't have time to be a normal college student with n got to have that experience before Emma appeared back in my

life.

"Everything was going great until my grandfather had a stroke and became paralyzed. My grandfather raised me after both my parents died in an accident. He was all that I had given; I didn't know any other fa that way"

Ava's eyes widens as she swings her finger back and forth. "You transferred to the university Emma and

Rowan were"

"Yeah." I simply answer. "I saw them around campus, but unlike before, I kept my distance. I didn't want trouble, and besides, I had a lot going on. I didn't have any time for meaningful relationships except for hookups, and that was totally fine with me. I had locked my heart after Emma's constant rejection. I wasn't willing to let anyone in"

I still loved her, and it killed me seeing her and Rowan almost every day, but I accepted it. She simply didn't want me. There was nothing I could do about that.

"My grandfather passed away, and it was the most challenging time of my fucking life. I took a few weeks

off school only to come back to the news that the campus' IT couple had broken up. I honestly couldn't believe it. Especially when I learned that Rowan had cheated on Emma. It was honestly unbelievable." I never expected that. Everyone was sure of their love. Sure that they would stay together and get married. No one ever thought that Rowan would sleep with someone else.

"After that, Emma came back as a totally different person. It was like she was dead on the inside. The few times you saw her outside her dorm, she looked like a fucking zombie. I wanted to comfort her, but I k didn't want to be involved with anyone in Emma's life. When Molly was assigned as my partner, I dreaded it. It turns out it didn't have to. She was actually a chill girl.

My eyes shift to Ava. She looks captivated. Like she couldn't even remove her eyes from mine, even if

she wanted to.

"I tried to stay out of her way. I didn't want to be a nuisance like I had been back in high school. I realized you couldn't force love and Emma definitely didn't love me"

It had been a sad realization, but a much-needed one.

"You're right," Ava says sadly. "If only I'd realized that earlier, like you did. It would've probably saved me

from a lot of heartache." 1

Grabbing her hand, I squeeze it. "Well, it didn't work out for me... One day, out of the blues, Emma showed up at my dorm room and kissed me. It was unexpected, but it was the best kiss I've ever received. It I still remember that day like it was yesterday. She had been a virgin, and even though I'd slept with countless girls, she had been by far the best. Probably because I had feelings for her.

"I went to sleep thinking that finally it happened. That, finally she had noticed and wanted to build something with me. Only I had been wrong. We woke up the next morning, and she was disgusted with. herself back at Rowan for sleeping with you"

That was the first time I found out that the girl Rowan slept with and knocked up

ip was Ava.

"You can't imagine the pain that hit me. I felt crushed. I loved her with my body, only to find out that she didn't feel a thing. That she was only using me. The betrayal I felt nearly destroyed me. We kept our distance again, that is until she told me she was pregnant."
