Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0518

*Ro," Ava snaps.

*She'll stay pure and innocent until the day she's old and gray. End of story." With that, he stomps away. The idea of Iris one day having sex clearly disturbed him.

Ava turns to me. "I don't get it! How can the idea of Iris having sex bother him so much when we have sex all the time? I am someone's daughter, and he still went there with me!"

I chuckle before rubbing her arm comfortingly. "Don't worry, I think all men are the same when it comes to their daughters. Gabriel said almost the same thing about Lilly... Ethan will react the same, and so will Reaper if they have a daughter. My dad used to say he would never allow any boy near me, and I bet if you asked your dad, he thought the same when you were born. Hell, I know he probably hates the idea that you and Rowan have sex. In his head, he'd rather believe Noah and Iris were delivered by stocks."

Ava laughs, the frown on her face clearing. "I almost forgot to tell you just how beautiful your home is," she hugs me before pulling away.

Her baby bump is more visible now and hard to hide. The girls and I asked about the gender, and she told us that they decided to wait for the delivery day to know whether it was a boy or a girl.

I haven't told anyone about the baby. It won't be fair to tell my friends before my husband.

*Thank you. Come, I'll give you a tour."

We were all in the backyard, just chilling and relaxing after a hearty meal. We kind of separated into groups. I was with the girls, Gabriel was with the men, including his dad, and the kids were with Gabriel's mom.

"By the way, when can you come by my office?" Ava asks, leaning against the chair, referring to the job she offered me. "I've been meaning to talk to you about it, but I kept forgetting."

*I can come Monday morning," I answer her. "If that's okay with you."

She smiles, sighing in contentment, "That's perfect."

All of a sudden, Letty squeals in joy before turning to face us. "I just got an amazing idea."

Connie and Ava both look at her with skeptical looks.

*What idea?" Connie asks her. "The last time you came up with an idea, you convinced us to open a sex-toy company."

"Yeah," Ava seconds.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Letty waves her hand in dismissal, brushing off what they just said. "Oh, stop it. It's not like you opposed the idea, and, besides, aren't you benefiting from it?"

Well, this is just intriguing. I didn't expect this from my girls. Not that I am against the idea or anything. I used dildos for quite some time after Liam passed... and even if I didn't use them, who am I to judge?

Ava folds her hand across her chest while Connie sinks into her seat. They look like kids who have been chastised by their parent.

"Anyway, my idea was to bring Harper into the fold," Letty continues.

*I thought I was already in the fold."

*You are," she says, grabbing my hand. "But I want you deeper into it. I was thinking that if Ava and Connie agree, we can make you a partner."

"Of a sex-toy company?"

*Yes. We are doing pretty well, and the turnover is good, so you don't have to worry that you are getting involved in a sinking ship."

I stare at all three of them wide-mouthed, not really sure what to do or say. There are a lot of things to consider before I can even think of whether I want to join them.

"I don't know if you've heard of us, but our company is called Spark Limited." Connie joins in, using her hands to express her words. "You know, because we ignite sexual sparks."

My eyes widen at the name and my jaw drops further down. "Seriously? You guys have revolutionized the meaning of a battery-operated boyfriend. You probably put other companies out of business with how good your toys are."

I am not exaggerating. Their products are superb. Their dildos are so good and have this amazing feel to them. When touching them, you forget they are not real. They have a real feel to them; it's like you are touching a real cock. Don't get me started on its thrusting game and how right the temperature feels.
