Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 94

Upon seeing the caller ID, I frowned slightly.

Although I didn't want to answer Gavin's call, the 30-day divorce cooling-off period wasn't over. Until I had the divorce certificate, I couldn't afford to offend him completely. Therefore, I reluctantly answered the call.

"Did you go to Drixmont with Tom?" Gavin's cold voice came through. "We've just signed the divorce agreement, and you're already rushing off to meet his family?"

I found it ridiculous. He knew we had signed the divorce agreement, so who I was with shouldn't be any of his concern.

But now wasn't the time to argue with him. I could only take a deep breath and reply coldly, "Do you need something?"

After a pause, he said, "Your things are still at the Gould residence. Come and get them when you're free."

His words made me frown. I was surprised he would call me for this matter.

"I don't want them. Just throw them away!"

"Even the things I gave you?" His voice rose sharply.

"That's right. I don't want them."

"What about your clothes and shoes…"

"I don't want those either."

Gavin didn't say anything else, but his breathing through the phone seemed heavier.

My patience had already run out. Before he could say more, I hung up.

The call felt completely out of the blue. I frowned slightly. Knowing Gavin's personality, he wouldn't act out for no reason. Could something have happened? I reckoned he might have discovered that the child Mandy was carrying wasn't his.

But on second thought, that seemed unlikely. If he knew, he would've lashed out at Mandy instead of calling me.

So, what could it be?

As my thoughts ran wild, Tom suddenly called my name.
