Chapter 0265
It’s been a few hours since Noah went off on the three unwanted guests. They were now
outside in the back, enjoying the sun. Noah seems to have calmed down, but I knew him
well. He was sharp. His gaze remained on them, scrutinizing, as if he were waiting for
them to put a foot wrong.
Iris was currently sleeping in her room, and I was in the kitchen trying to catch my breath.
Mother and Travis kept trying to hold Iris, but for some reason my heart just wasn’t in
agreement with that.
That wasn’t even the main thing that bothered me. It was Emma’s disregard for me and
my feelings. Her
complete disrespect in my own home.
I get that I did her wrong when I slept with Rowan, but Rowan is now my husband. It
shouldn’t bother me that she’s trying to get close to him. Giving him coy and seductive
smiles. Swinging her hips when she walks by him. Brushing against him when she’s near
him. I didn’t want to be jealous, but I am.
I am angry and completely pissed at her blatant behavior. Sure, Rowan glares at her and
walks away when
he notices her behavior, but I can’t help but think that it’s just a show.
The way she behaves lets me know that she’s been back for a while. That and also that
they may have

I keep thinking that maybe Rowan is just trying to be respectful. He is a public figure and
heads one of the largest companies in the city. It wouldn’t really look great if he’s seen
entertaining another woman
immediately after his wife wakes up from a coma..
News of me being alive and waking up from the coma had leaked. He was probably just
biding his time as
things settled before he asked for a divorce and got back to Emma.
“Hey, are you okay?” His voice startles me, making me jump.
“Um, yeah,” I mumble, avoiding his gaze.
I was so conflicted about him. I didn’t know what to think or feel. Part of me thought that
maybe this was
a second chance. That, with his new behavior, he was finally ready to accept me. The
other part, though,
was afraid of hoping.
“Do you want me to ask them to leave?”
“If you don’t mind” I sigh in relief. “I feel like I’ve reached the limit of my tolerance”
They’ve been here since morning. They’ve had breakfast and lunch with us. I just feel like
it was time for
them to leave.

Besides, my head was already pounding. I’ve had enough of watching Mother and Travis
try to be sweet to me and watching Emma shamelessly throw herself at Rowan.
“As you wish,” he pulls me towards him and places a gentle k*ss on my temple.
After letting me go, he walks back outside. A minute later, they all walk back inside.
“Rowan tells us you’re not feeling well, are you okay?” Mother asks with concern.
Do you see this? This is what I don’t get. They used to hate me so much, so where was all
this concern coming from? Why are they now so nice to me? Was it because of the
accident?
I think I get Rowan’s behavior. Sure, he was laying it on a little bit too thick, but we were
used to pretending in front of Noah.
“Yeah, I have a headache.” I reply as I watch Emma closely. She could at least try to be
subtle while
looking at Rowan hungrily.
I turn to Rowan. “Isn’t Noah coming in?”
“He’s asked to stay outside for a little bit,” he answers. “He has already said his
goodbyes.”
I just nod my head. Aside from video games, Noah also loves the outdoors.

He comes to me and hugs. Mother does the same. The hug is awkward to say the least
and I’m sure we
all felt that.
Emma doesn’t say goodbye to me. Instead, she steps forward and places a k*ss on
Rowan’s l*ps right in
front of me.
My mouth hangs open as I stare at her, unable to think straight.
“Bye. I hope we can see each other soon.”
Everyone looks in shock at her audacity. Rowan pushes her away, and she almost falls, but
Travis catches
her.
“What the F*** is wrong with you?” He booms, clearly angry and fed up with her. +
She looks a bit taken aback, but she soon composes herself.
“What did I do?”
“Are you out of your goddamn mind? Ava is standing right beside me, and you decide to
k*ss me?”

was furing. I could feel the anger as it rolled off Him in waves.
It was clear that Emma wanted to hurt me. That she wanted to witness as my heart broke.
Everyone knew
was in love with Rowan. She knew k*ssing him would hurt me.
