Chapter 0148 My head was swirling with the new revelation. I always thought my love for Emma was eternal. Realizing that it wasnât, was doing things to my head and heart.
Imove 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.
âWhat were you talking about with Emma?â 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.
I 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 doesnât seem to like Noah?â
Based on the things she said about him. Itâs clear she resents him for either being Avaâs son or being the reason I had to marry Ava. Maybe it was both.
âNothing importantâ 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.
âI have a best friend now. Just like you and Uncle Gabe have Uncle Travis as your best friendâ he begins.
âThatâs goodâ
I was in no mood to chat. My mood was soured. Noah didnât seem to get the hint though. He kept talking.
âHis name is Gunner and he is our new neighbor. They moved in about a week agoâ
I I just nod my head distractedly. Itâs not that I wasnât interested in what he was saying. I just had a lot on my F***ing mind. His mother being at the center of everything.
âYou knowâ he pauses âHe has a really good looking dad.â He finishes.
That piece of information immediately catches my attention. I turn to him and itâs then I notice his mischievous smile.
ve been to our house and when Gunner and I were playing mom and Mr Calvin were downstairs ong and eating cupcakes! He even promised to help mommy plant her vegetable garden the F***! What the hell was he talking about and who the F*** was this Calvin guy? Why would Ave In her house knowing very well that the Reapera were still at large?
He continues. Smirking at me triumphantly as if he hadnât just woken up a raging beast inside me.
âHe made her laugh a lot. When Gunner and I came down for dinner, they were standing really close as he helped her set the table.â
The more he talked, the more my fury rose. I clenched my teeth just to stop myself from lashing out at my own son. My F***ing heart was pounding and I couldnât calm myself down as waves of anger washed over me.
7 was worried about what would happen to mom when you married Emma, but now with Calvin around you can do it. I still donât like her, but you can marry her and mom can marry Calvin. He makes her laugh and Gunner will be my brother, so thatâs a bonus.
I kid you not, Noah gives me an evil grin before delivering the final blow âMaybe Gunner and I can get more siblings, weâll have to talk to them first but Iâm sure theyâll agreeâ he finishes 1 I reach the end of my limit and blow up. My eyes narrowed into slits at the audacity my son had.
âNoah!â I shout, banging my hand on the F***ing picnic table.
Everyone turns to look at us. Confusion in their faces. They were all wondering what the hell was happening. This was the first time Iâve ever F***ing yelled at Noah âWhat?â he ask innocently as if he hadnât just unleash a raging inferno inside me.
Instead of being afraid, he stands up, throws me a cat eating grin and then walks away. Heading towards my mother and Kate.
âWhat the hell was that about?â Gabe asks, sitting down next to me. A few seconds later, Travis joins us.
I was still fuming. Unable to control the rage that was inside me at knowing there was another man playing house with Ava and that Noah actually liked him.
No matter what I tried. I couldnât get the F***ing image of Ava laughing while setting at the table with another man. It brought havoc. Tearing at me in a way I didnât F***ing understand.
