“I can’t be sure, but trust me,” I finally answer him. “My instincts are never wrong.”
He looks unsure at first until he wipes schools his features, and wipes the look from his face. He then
stands up and comes to stand next to me. Before I can understand what he’s doing, he gives me a
quick kiss and then immediately pulls
away.
“Fine,” he begins. “I’ll trust you, but if it turns out your wrong, I’ll make her pay for hurting you.”
There is finality in his tone, accompanied by something utterly dangerous.
I accept the compromise. “Okay, but you’ll see I’m not wrong on this.”
He doesn’t say anything; he just kisses my forehead and then goes back to his coffee. We talk a bit
longer. Nothing important in particular, but it felt good.
Talking to him and being in his company, it all felt good. It was like being home after a long day of work.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI loved Rowan, and I was finally getting what I’d always prayed for. How then could I think of letting him
go? How can I refuse to grab this chance with both hands?
Not many people get a second chance at love. Not many women get to see their wayward husbands
change. He’s hurt me, but I need to let the past go. I think at this point in our lives, we’ve both learned
our lessons.
We didn’t even realize we had talked long until Noah and Gunner walked into the kitchen. Noah was
holding Iris, who was silently crying.
“Did she wake you?” I ask after greeting them and taking Iris from him.
“No,” he answers, yawning. “We were coming down for breakfast when we heard a small cry from her
room.”
I wrap her in the throw blanket I came down with and feed her. Rowan doesn’t have a problem with me
breastfeeding, but Noah has. He can’t stand the sight of my boobs. Both Rowan and I find it funny, but I
try to cover up when he’s around so he doesn’t get uncomfortable.
After breakfast, I shower and get ready. It was on a Sunday, so Rowan and Noah would be home. I
planned to leave Iris with them as I dropped off Gunner.
“You ready, sweetie?” I asked Gunner while putting on my shoes.

“Yes, Auntie Ava.”
After he says goodbye to Rowan and Noah, we leave. Today I was driving, but I.. still had a bodyguard
trailing me just in case something happened.
“So, did you like your stay with us?”
A broad smile covers his mouth. “Definitely. I missed you so much, and I missed having sleepovers
with Noah. It feels good to have that again.”
From the way he was talking, it was something that happened on a regular basis. I didn’t mind, though,
because Gunner is a sweet boy, and he already has a place in my heart.
He then goes to tell me everything that I’ve missed. I pay attention to him, but I can’t help thinking

I feel like someone is trying to frame her, but who? And why? Is it because she’s the only one to most
likely have a motive? Or was it something else?
“We’re here, Auntie Ava.” Gunner’s voice pulls me back to the present. I had not even realized that
we’d arrived.
I park the car, and we get out. He runs ahead of me while I walk slowly, trying to put my head and
thoughts in order.
The house next to theirs catches my attention. It seemed so familiar, yet I don’t know where I’d seen it.
For some reason, I also wanted to get inside it. It was really bizarre that I would want to get into a total
stranger’s house.
“Dad!” Gunner screams, entering the house.
“In the kitchen!” Calvin shouts back.
I follow Gunner as he runs towards what I presume is the kitchen. We find Calvin with a mug of coffee,
a laptop, and a bunch of papers, and he is wearing glasses. I didn’t know he still wore those.
