Chapter 0206
He was a bit taller than Calvin, but that didn’t make Calvin back down.
“I’ve had enough of you. Enough of you controlling my fucking life Why doe
us all the trouble” Calvin tells Rowan.
you just drop dead and save
I stand there frozen unable to believe what he just said. There was malice in his eyes. Something I never thought I would associate with Calvin. Anger and bitterness sure, but malice? Never.
“Wouldn’t you wish that? Even after all these years you’re still trying to prove that you’re someone when you’re not. The truth is you’ll never be me. Emma didn’t fucking love you then and Ava won’t love you now
because her heart belongs to me”
Those words seemed like the push Calvin needed because he swings his fist and get Rowan in the jaw. Rowan doesn’t take long to recover before he’s retaliating. Soon, they’re full blown fighting.
I stand there watching them, wishing I could be anywhere but here.
Trying to separate them proves futile. I almost get hit in the process. The security are called and we are
escorted outside. Before leaving, I go and pick the boys. I find them in the park. Seated on the bench and
completely sad.
“Come, let’s go home” I tell them as gently as I could.
“I can’t believe dad and Calvin were fighting. Why were they fighting?” Noah asks.
“Noah and I are best friends. Even if they don’t like each other shouldn’t they try to get along because of
us?” Gunner adds looking as disappointed in his father as Noah was in his.
“Sometimes adults fight. I’m sure they’ll put aside their differences” I tell them trying to suppress my anger and frustration.
We get outside in time to see Rowan arguing with the management.
“Do you know who I fucking am?” he snarls. “I can by this whole damn place and put you all out of a fucking job!”
Calvin was pacing a few feet from Rowan. He occasionally stopped and glared at him.
“I understand Mr. Woods, but you caused a disturbance…” the manager doesn’t get to finish.
“Shut up!” Rowan commands. “I hear nothing of use to me..Now, you’ll allow us to go back”
I sigh in tiredness, I really should have stayed at home.
Rowan had a split lip while Calvin had a bleeding nose (Probably broken), bruised cheek and a split lip.
“Stop it, Rowan” I tell him tiredly. “Both you and Calvin have done enough without forcing this poor man to let us back in after starting a fight not only publicly but also in front of your sons. What example are you
becoming?”
I stare both of them down before turning to the manager.
“I’m really sorry for the trouble. We’ll leave immediately” he nods at me before leaving.
Grasping the hands of Noah and Gunner, I turn to face their fathers.
“Both of you should be ashamed. Today was about the children and yet you ruined the day for them. They had to watch their dads fight like little kids fighting over a damn toy.
“He started it” both of them say at the same time making me even more pissed.
“I don’t give a damn who started it! My point is that you should have had more control and remembered
the boys!”
While Calvin looks contrite, Rowan just smirks at me. His eyes roaming over me.
“I like this version of you. It’s se…” he goes to say S**y but remembers that Noah and Gunner are with us
so he stops.
Letting out a breath of frustration, I turn and leave. I had no more energy to deal with them.
“Where are you going?” Rowan shouts.
“Far away from both of you.” With that I walk away and leave them standing outside the amusement park.
I hail a cab and get me and the boys inside. It was unreasonable given the amount I would have but hell, I had the money so it didn’t matter.
“Can we get ice cream before going home?” Gunner asks lowly.
Noah adds “And milkshake”
“Year sure. We all need some comfort food after today’s disaster” I smile at them which they return.
to pay pay.
We drive in silence till we reach. We get ice cream, burgers and milkshake then we head home. The day finally ends and even though I should have been relieved, I wasn’t. I couldn’t get Calvin’s words out of my head.
Tve had enough of you controlling my life”
Those words keep replaying in my mind. Why would Calvin say that? As far as I know, this is the first time they’ve seen each other in years. So why did Calvin behave like Rowan was the bane of his existence?
