Chapter 0225
All the hope I had shrivels up and dies. Hell. Will I ever get a chance to make things right? Is it even
possible to win her back?
“I doubt that’s the only thing. We both know Ava. If she didn’t want it, she wouldn’t have let you. Hormones be damned,” he tries to encourage me, but I’m not really feeling it right now.
My door opens, and Travis enters. He looks like hell. He crosses over and takes a seat next to Gabe.
“You look like shit” Gabe informs him.
Travis just sighs. “I know. I feel like it too.”
Things are a fucking mess after finding out that his precious sister has a child whom she has kept a
secret for eight years.
“How are things?” I ask.
“Bad. I can’t stand being in the same room as Emma right now. Mom too. In fact, she gave Emma an ultimatum. Either she builds a relationship with Gunner or she cuts her off from her life.”
Both Gabe and I stare at him in shock. Never have I ever imagined that Kate would threaten to disown
Emma.
Even when Ava and I messed up, she never disowned her. Sure, she and James gave her the cold
shoulder, but they never cut her off.
“Are you serious?” Gabe speaks.
“As serious as a heart attack,” he mutters before taking a deep breath. “Anyway, I don’t want to talk about
that, let alone think about it. What were you talking about before I came in?” he asks, changing the subject.
“Ava” Gabe answers.
“What about Ava?”
He has the tortured look he usually wears every time Ava is mentioned. I know he now feels even worse
after how he talked to her that day.
“Why? Are you pursuing her?” He looks puzzled, Like he’s trying to piece things together.
