Chapter 0180

I decide to do my make up today. I go for the nude look. After that I do my hair, preferring

to curl it

instead of wearing it straight. Satisfied with how I looked, I take my ballet shoes and put

them on. I was just about to leave when my phone rings.

I don’t recognize the number, but I pick it up none the less. 1

“Hello?”

“Hello, Ava. It’s Ethan” his gruff voice says through the phone.

Even without him introducing himself, I would still have known it’s him. I memorized his

voice during that

time I was deliriously happy with him. It was during the time he spoke to me with so much

emotion and care that I had felt wanted. If only it had been real and not a game he was

playing.

Shaking those thoughts, I push away the painful memories.

“Hello Ethan, how are you?” I ask, my voice controlled.

I’ve never visited him again. We’ve only spoken through letters. Mainly with me updating

him on what’s going on with my pregnancy.

“I’m good” he answers, then keeps quiet.

It’s awkward for a while. This was the man I had no trouble telling my thoughts. Now

everything felt tense and awkward.

“Have you spoken to mom and dad?” I ask after a while, just to break the tension.

It feels so weird calling them that while talking to Ethan. They raised him and they were

his parents too. Which just makes everything weird because we were now expecting a

child together.

“No” comes his one word answer.

“Why? They are dying to talk to you, Ethan. Why won’t you just see the?”

Mom and dad try to hide it, but I know they’re hurting. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still

pissed at what Ethan did, but they still love him, You can’t unlove a child you’ve raised for

more than twenty years.

“You know why, Ava” he answers in a sigh.

Yes, and you reason is so F***ing stupid! Can’t you see you’re hurting them? Haven’t you

hurt them enough? Don’t you love them? Why then would you do this to them?” I fire the

questions one by one, feeling frustrated by his stubbornness.

I continue speaking when he doesn’t say anything.

“Just talk to them, please, I’ve never asked you for anything except this. I don’t like seeing

them mask their pain when they tell me that you refused to see them yet again” I plead

with him.

He lets out a sigh. “You have to know that I can never deny you, Ava.” He pauses. “I’ll talk

to them”

“Thank you” I don’t let it show in my voice, but I smile. Happy that he is going to

communicate with them. Hoping they can reconcile.

“This isn’t why I called you”

“Okay” I drag out.

“I heard what happened to you and I wanted to make sure you and the baby are fine” his

voice is soft and it brings back memories I’m trying to forget.

Gosh. If only he hadn’t turned out to be a F***ing liar. Maybe we would have had a future

together.

I wanted to ask him how he find out, but this is Ethan we are talking about. He has eyes

and ears everywhere.

“Yes, the baby is doing well. I actually have an appointment today. I was just getting ready

to leave for it.”

“Is it weird that I am dying to hold her?” he ask and I hear a hint of happiness for the first

time since everything went to shit.

“Her? You think it’s a girl?”

“Yes. I’m convinced it’s a girl” he answers sheepishly. I can imagine him rubbing his hand

on the back of his head.

I chuckle at that. “I guess Noah isn’t the only one rooting for a baby girl”

“I guess not. Are you okay with that or do you wish for another boy?”

I think about it for a while before answering. “It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s a boy or

girl, I already love him or her

And it was true. I was not in the right frame of mind when I found out I was pregnant. I

didn’t know how to

react or behave given what Ethan did, but I fell in love with my baby. It didn’t matter who

the dad was.

After all, Rowan hurt me more than Ethan and I still loved Noah.

have to go. I don’t want to be late for my appointment” I tell him. “I’ll write you another

letter to tell you. how it went

“Okay, Ava… And about Reaper, don’t have worry him. I promise you he won’t hurt you

and he will leave you out of his revenge plan. Take care, Ava.”

He doesn’t give me time to answer before he hangs up the phone. I get my purse and

leave for my appointment all the while wondering what he meant about Reaper leaving

me alone. Did he do? Or did he

have him killed or something?
