Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M - Season 5 Episode 99

*I know you are confused, but the reason I am telling you this is because I want you to give Gabriel a chance. I know he messed up, but looking at him now, I can tell he is in love with you. My sons took after their dad in idiocy when it comes to the women they love. Though part of Rowan’s idiocy is because of us, as parents-both me, Antony, and Emma’s parents-we messed him up.”

“Sarah…” I start to say but she cuts me off.

“It seems it runs in the family. I guess the adage ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’ is true because both sons have managed to hurt the women they love, just as their dad did with me. All I am asking is that you give him a chance, because the same adage applies in a positive light. When the Wood men love, they love with their whole hearts, and they love fiercely. If you give Gabriel a chance, he will love you like no other man.”

I smile in amusement at her effort to get me to forgive her son.

“Sarah, like I tried telling you, you don’t need to worry. I already forgave Gabriel, and I decided to give our marriage a real chance.”

This time she’s the one shocked. Her jaw drops as her wide eyes stare at me, completely stunned.

“You forgave him?”

“Yes”

“So, you are a real couple now?”

“Definitely.”

She squeals before standing up. She then pulls me from my chair and hugs me in excitement.

*You have no idea how happy I am to see that my sons are with the women they love. It fills me with so much joy and peace,” she says, pulling away from me, her eyes filling with tears.

Gabriel and his father burst through the door, their panicked eyes scanning the room.

“My love, are you okay? Why are you crying?” Antony crosses the room and pulls Sarah into his arms. He then wipes away her tears, his eyes staring lovingly at her.

It’s hard to imagine that their marriage had been arranged and that he once hated her.

There is no hate in his eyes right now. Just love and adoration. It’s like the mere thought of Sarah hurting, hurts him.

Gabriel comes to stand next to me. He wraps his hands around my waist, plastering me to his side. His eyes question me, but I just shrug.

“Stop worrying. I am just happy.” Sarah smiles at her husband. “Harper just told me that she decided to give Gabriel a chance. It makes me happy that my sons are getting their happy ever after.”

Antony’s confusion clears. *Thank God. I thought something happened to you.”

“No. I’m just happy to have another daughter-in-law.”

“You’re beautiful, you know that?” He tells her, his eyes staring at her as if he’s captivated. It’s like he is falling in love with her all over again.

Not caring, Antony bends down and captures Sarah’s lips in a scorching kiss that honestly leaves me blushing. The heat from it is scorching.

*Seriously, dad?” Gabriel asks in disgust. “Must you do this in my house, and in front of me?”

They pull away from each other, with Sarah breathing hard. She looks flustered and a bit embarrassed. Antony, on the other hand, is grinning and looks totally unapologetic.

“Dinner is ready. Should I serve?” Mrs. Dobbs, our housekeeper, asks, interrupting the moment.

“Yes,” I answer.

Antony had sat Sarah down and was now playing with her hand while whispering something close to her ear. Something that was making Sarah blush like crazy. Gabriel was staring at his parents and looked like he was seconds away from puking.

I look from my husband to his parents, and I can’t help but pray that we will still be that in love when we are that age.
