Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M Novel novel Chapter 500

Emma

I walk into Mia's office for yet another therapy session. Just like we always do, I first take off my shoes before sitting down.

“Hi Emma,” Mia asks, smiling at me. Her smile, just like always, is inviting and warm. It makes you calm and relaxed.

“Hi Mia”

“Okay, you know what we have to do first, right?”

She asks and I nod my head.

I take a deep breath before closing my eyes. I sort through my thoughts. I don’t hold onto them for long or dwell on them. Instead, I let them go without trying to dive into them.

I push out the thoughts about Calvin, Gunner, my brother, mom and Ava. I clear my head until there is nothing. Until my head is empty and I am at peace.

Once that’s done, I open my eyes.

“Are you ready for us to begin?” Mia, who was watching me, asks.

I nod "Yes.”

“When we talked the last time, you told me you are ready to get your life back together. How’s that going on for you?”

Taking a deep breath, I fully focus on her and let her question bounce in my head as I try lock down what I am feeling.

"Good,” I finally say. “I got in contact with my previous firm. They have a branch here in the city and they were happy to have me back.”

That is something I wasn’t expecting. It’s been two years since I had a mental breakdown because of guilt and out of nowhere, I quit my job. I never expected that they’d take me back, given that I didn’t give them a reason.

When I took the leap to call them and ask for my old job back, I expected them to turn me away and tell me to fuck off. I was surprised when my senior got excited at hearing me. She immediately accepted my request, even after I told her that I wasn’t coming back to the city I’d called home for the last ten years.

“Is there a particular reason why you decided to get your life back?” Her question pulls me back to the present.

“Gunner.”

I don’t have to think about it. Gunner is the reason I am doing all this. He is the reason why I sought therapy to heal and change.
