Chapter 148
My head was swirling with the new revelation. I always thought my love for Emma was eternal. Realizing that it wasn’t, was doing things to my head and heart.
I move quickly and sit down next to Noah, Now more than ever I wanted this whole thing over. I was desperate to get out of here. Already feeling like my skin was crawling.
“What were you talking about with Emma?” Noah asks the moment I sit down.
The disdain in his voice is very clear. No one needed to be told twice that the woman I had planned to
spend the rest of my life with was his least favorite person.
This hate is another thing that made me put a pause on my relationship with Emma. How could I date. her? How could I be with her when my son clearly hates her? How could I consider a relationship with her
when she also doesn’t seem to like Noah?”
Based on the things she said about him. It’s clear she resents him for either being Ava’s son or being the
reason I had to marry Ava. Maybe it was both.
“Nothing important” I mumbled, feeling lost in thoughts.
We are quiet for a while until he opens his mouth again. The things he spews has be clenching my fists.
“I have a best friend now. Just like you and Uncle Gabe have Uncle Travis as your best friend” he begins.
“That’s good”
I was in no mood to chat. My mood was soured. Noah didn’t seem to get the hint though. He kept talking.
“His name is Gunner and he is our new neighbor. They moved in about a week ago”
I just nod my head distractedly. It’s not that I wasn’t interested in what he was saying. I just had a lot on
my fucking mind. His mother being at the center of everything.
“You know” he pauses “He has a really good looking dad.” He finishes.
That piece of information immediately catches my attention. I turn to him and it’s then I notice his
mischievous smile.
Hey’ve been to our house and when Gunner and I were playing mom and Mr Calvin were downstairs talking and eating cupcakes He even promised to help mommy plant her vegetable garden”
What the fuck! What the hell was he talking about and who the fuck was this Calvin guy? Why would Ava invite a total stranger in her house knowing very well that the Reapers were still at large?
