You told me that hever chested, so what’s the story with this Ethan guy? How did I end up
with him?”
Since we were on that topic, I might as well get the answer to the question that has been
driving me completely insane.
He doesn’t answer for a while, and I just stay silent, I wait for him to gather his thoughts. I
know he does love Iris, but I can also tell that Ethan is a touchy subject for him.
I wonder what Ethan did to get on Rowan’s bad side and why the hell I would sleep with
him. Was it a way for me to get back at Rowan for not loving me? You know? Sleep with a
man he doesn’t like.
I’m not really a vengeful person, but I also understand that pain and heartache can push
someone to do things they would not normally do.
“When Emma came back, I wanted to be with her,” he begins.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt hurts to hear him say that, but I always knew something like this would happen when
and if she came back. I just never thought it would hurt this badly.
“I knew that it wouldn’t be good for Noah if we ended things abruptly. We needed to first
ease him into the idea of us no longer being together. You agreed and I started seeing
Emma secretly as we prepared for a separation.”
I focus on him. Listening to every word he was saying. I didn’t want him to see my pain, so
I hid it behind an indifferent mask
“You met Ethan when he saved you during an attack. He was one of the officers assigned
to protect us during James burial. A threat had been made and they couldn’t risk anyone
else dying.”
I frown because nothing of what he was saying rings any bells. There was nothing but
blankness where the memory should be.
“When you say he saved me, what do you mean?” I ask curiously.
“There was a shootout. You got hit on the shoulder, but if it wasn’t for Ethan diving for
you, you would have ended up dead.”
Well, that was a nice thing for him to do, especially for a total stranger. I guess that was
our ‘How I Met Your Mother‘ story… But where was Rowan? Before I can, he continues.

Fuck. Why the hell did hearing him say that hurt so F***ing much. It is pretty clear that he
was ready to cast me aside for Emma. I always knew it was inevitable so I don’t know why
it hurts.
As for Ethan, I really don’t understand. Was he able to capture my attention so much that I
would approach Rowan with the issue, or did I just want to make Rowan jealous? Maybe
get a reaction out of him.
What was it about this Ethan guy that accomplished what other guys never could? What
was it about him that made me get so attracted to him that we even had S**?
“I was seeing Emma and you were seeing Ethan, yet my every thought was consumed by
you,” he exhaled, running a hand through his tousled hair. “It’s funny, honestly. When
Emma came back, I thought you would be a pain in my ass, like you were when we were
younger. It surprised me when you weren’t. You didn’t even seem to care. I ended up
being a pain because for some reason, I couldn’t let you go.”
Had I really been like that? My world revolved around Rowan and Noah. For him to say that
it seemed like I wasn’t even bothered that he was dating Emma is really weird
