Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M
Chapter 341

Chapter 0341

"Noah, it's time to cut the cake." I shout his name once I get outside.

His head turns in my direction before he rushes towards me with a big smile on his mouth. A couple minutes later, Rowan joins us after taking Iris from my parents. "Happy birthday to you..." We all start singing, and I can tell that Noah is basking in the glory

and attention.

Once we are done, he blows out the candle, and joyous shouts ring out through the entire backyard, with the majority of the happy shouts coming from our families.

Startled by the noise, Iris begins to cry, but she stops the moment both Rowan and I lay a kiss on her cheek. We didn't plan it; it just happened, but it didn't stop the 'Aaaws' from our guests. "Happy birthday, Noah. I love you very much. Always remember that." I hug him tightly, and he reciprocates.

"I love you too, mom."

He then cuts the cake. I feed him a piece, and so does Rowan. Then he reciprocates by feeding us cake too. The cake is shared among the guests, and then soon it's time for Noah to open his gifts. Seeing him so happy, I realize that there is just no room for regrets. Gunner was standing next to him with a big smile on his face. it's then that it hits me. I don't know about Emma, but I

know that neither Rowan and I nor Calvin would regret our kids, despite the pain and

heartache we've all been through.

"Hello, miss," a tiny voice pulls me from my thoughts.

I look down to find a cute little girl in a pink chiffon dress. She had an oval-shaped face, pretty green eyes, tan skin, and red lips. She had glasses on, and her pretty blonde hair was in pigtails. She immediately captured my heart.

"Yes, sweet heart." I kneel down to her height.

"Are you Noah's mom?" she asks curiously, and I nod my head.

"You're really pretty," she tells me, looking at me like I hung the moon and stars for her.

"Thank you, doll, and who are you,

if I may

may ask?"

Her smile grows, and I can't get over how cute she is. She's sure going to be a head-turner when she does grow up.

"I'm Sierra, and I just wanted to let you know that I'll one day marry Noah."

I couldn't help but chuckle. So this is the girl who has my boy in a twist. I liked her though; she was straightforward and confident, and she wasn't afraid of speaking her mind. Characters that I admire and wish I had when I was younger.

"Is that so?" I tease.

She nods her head. "Yes. He says he doesn't like me; you see, he thinks I'm weird because I like studying bugs and plants. I hope to be a biologist one day, but you'll see, I'll make him change his mind," she tells me confidently.

A light dims in me a bit. How do I explain to this charming little girl that you can't change a person's mind? Especially a man who doesn't fancy you?

But weren't you able to change Rowan's mind?

The question glares at me. Yes, I may have been able to change his mind, but at what cost? Look at the pain and heartache I went through just to achieve that. Pain I'm not really sure was worth it. I wouldn't want this kind of burden on such an innocent girl.

Before I can say anything, though, Teresa rushes to me with a worried look on her face. I stand

1. up.

"What is it?" I ask, my anxiety starting to rise.

She leans in and whispers. "There are policemen at the door, and they're looking for Emma."

Well, that can't be good.

"Go and inform Rowan and the others. Let me go see what this is about. Also, while we're dealing with it, please keep the kids outside and entertain the guests."

My heart was in my throat, worrying about what the cops would want with Emma. Rowan had dropped all charges, so she should be in the clear.

"Sierra, dear, something came up. I'll talk to you before you leave, okay?" I tell her hurriedly.

"Okay, Miss Ava."

After that, I rush and move through the house quickly. I find them standing in the living room.

"How can I help you, officers?" I ask as they turn to face me.

"We're looking for Emma Sharp; we were told that she might be here," the tall, blonde one replies.

"Why are you looking for me?"

At her voice, I turn to find Emma standing a few feet from me. Behind her were Trevor, Kate, Gabe, and Rowan.

They move fast. So fast that I didn't see them until Emma was bent over the couch while her hands were being cuffed.

"Emma Sharp you're under arrest for attempted murder of Miss Ava Sharp."

Well, fuck. I did not see that coming.
