Chapter 0206 He was a bit taller than Calvin, but that didnât make Calvin back down.
âIâve had enough of you. Enough of you controlling my F***ing life Why doe us all the troubleâ 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.
âWouldnât you wish that? Even after all these years youâre still trying to prove that youâre someone when youâre not. The truth is youâll never be me. Emma didnât F***ing love you then and Ava wonât love you now because her heart belongs to meâ
Those words seemed like the push Calvin needed because he swings his fist and get Rowan in the jaw. Rowan doesnât take long to recover before heâs retaliating. Soon, theyâre 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.
âCome, letâs go homeâ I tell them as gently as I could.
âI canât believe dad and Calvin were fighting. Why were they fighting?â Noah asks.
âNoah and I are best friends. Even if they donât like each other shouldnât they try to get along because of us?â Gunner adds looking as disappointed in his father as Noah was in his.
âSometimes adults fight. Iâm sure theyâll put aside their differencesâ I tell them trying to suppress my anger and frustration.
We get outside in time to see Rowan arguing with the management.
âDo you know who I F***ing am?â he snarls. âI can by this whole damn place and put you all out of a F***ing job!â
Calvin was pacing a few feet from Rowan. He occasionally stopped and glared at him.
âI understand Mr. Woods, but you caused a disturbance...â the manager doesnât get to finish.
âShut up!â Rowan commands. âI hear nothing of use to me..Now, youâll allow us to go backâ
I sigh in tiredness, I really should have stayed at home.
Rowan had a split l*p while Calvin had a bleeding nose (Probably broken), bruised cheek and a split l*p.
âStop it, Rowanâ I tell him tiredly. âBoth 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?â
I stare both of them down before turning to the manager.
âIâm really sorry for the trouble. Weâll leave immediatelyâ he nods at me before leaving.
Grasping the hands of Noah and Gunner, I turn to face their fathers.
âBoth 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.
âHe started itâ both of them say at the same time making me even more pissed.
âI donât give a damn who started it! My point is that you should have had more control and remembered the boys!â
While Calvin looks contrite, Rowan just smirks at me. His eyes roaming over me.
âI like this version of you. Itâs se...â 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.
âWhere are you going?â Rowan shouts.
1.
âFar away from both of you.â 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 didnât matter.
âCan we get ice cream before going home?â Gunner asks lowly.
Noah adds âAnd milkshakeâ
âYear sure. We all need some comfort food after todayâs disasterâ 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 wasnât. I couldnât get Calvinâs words out of my head.
Tve had enough of you controlling my lifeâ
Those words keep replaying in my mind. Why would Calvin say that? As far as I know, this is the first time theyâve seen each other in years. So why did Calvin behave like Rowan was the bane of his existence?
