Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0536



Chapter 0536

Molly is one of my bridesmaids, and so are Ava, Connie, Letty, Harper and Kinley. They have been my girls for the past four years since my accident. Of course, I could never replace Molly, she's my best friend, but I am grateful that I have them.

Plus, yesterday Molly told me that she's thinking of moving here. I was so excited. I love her, but we admitted that it was difficult doing the whole long-distance friendship. I am honestly over the moon that she'll be around.

The music slows down, and Gunner approaches, breaking all other conversation.

"Can I have this dance, Mom?"

There's a series of aaws, and I swear my heart melts right on the spot.

"Of course, my handsome boy," I answer before taking his hand.

Gunner is fourteen, now a teenager. Can you believe that? He's as tall as I am, and I'm sure in a few years he'll be taller than I am. I don't mind though. He'll always be my baby boy.

Calvin and I put him in therapy the moment I got discharged. We did a joint session in some and talked about our relationship and about the day of the accident. I believe being able to lay it all out during those sessions brought us closer.

"I love seeing you this happy," Gunner murmurs, his eyes searing my soul in ways I can't even understand.

"I was happy, sweet boy."

*True, but not this happy. This kind of happiness suits you. It's radiating off of you in waves. I'm happy that you found someone. I was worried about you."

Tears begin filling my eyes. His words spread warmth throughout my entire body.

"Oh no, you don't. Please don't cry... Aunt Ava will seriously kill me if I ruin your makeup."

Ava is the one that helped me get ready.

A laugh escapes my lips before I can even stop it. The panic in his eyes is real. We know Ava. Due to her pregnancy hormones, she can sometimes turn into a raging dragon that breathes fire.

"I love you, sweet boy; you know that, don't you?" I ask, blinking back my tears.

"I know Mom and I love you too," he pecks my cheek, and we continue dancing in silence until the song ends.

Next, I danced with my mom and then Travis, then Rowan, and Gabriel.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"You are happy, right?" Calvin asks as we move to the slow beat of the music.

We did have a talk after my accident. It was painful and soul-wrenching, but it was needed. We both needed closure. We both needed to forgive. We both needed to let go of the past before we could move forward. We accepted that we made mistakes. Mistakes that cost us, but in the end, we realized that it was part of life.

As much as we are parents to an amazing teenage son, we are also friends and I think that's more important. "Yes, I am happy... Truly happy"

My eyes move past his shoulder to Killian. I never hid anything from him. He knows every single dirty thing about my past. I told him when I realized that things were starting to get serious between us.

I was afraid that he'd call it quits the moment he realized what a terrible person I had been. Instead, he grabbed my hand, kissed my palms and told me that everyone makes mistakes. You are only a terrible person if you don't learn from them. I'm sure that was the day I started falling in love with him.

"I'm glad," he whispers. "I didn't see it then, but I see it now. Our paths were always meant to cross to bring

Gunner into this world, but they were never meant to join and go in the same direction." I tum to him, to find his eyes staring behind me. I don't have to look to know he is staring at Kinley.

I smile, peace washing over me. "We are where we were meant to be, with people we were meant to be with."
