All Chapters of The Husband Who Fell in Love With Me Twice : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

ANTONI smacked my lips as I glanced at the restaurant through my windshield.“Are you sure this is a good idea, Zara?” I asked, holding my phone to my ear.“Of course,” her high-pitched voice came through the speaker. “Anton, you need to meet new people, okay? You said things were getting awkward between you and Ashley.”I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples.The situation with Ashley was something I couldn't explain, mostly because I didn't understand it myself.One minute, everything between us felt normal. We were friends. We talked, laughed, and spent time together without having to think too much about it.Then Garrett came along.And suddenly, the thought of Ashley getting closer to him irritated me more than it should.I didn't want whatever was happening inside my head to grow into something that could ruin our friendship. That was why I'd gone to Zara for help.Her solution?A blind date.I opened my eyes and leaned forward, resting my hands on the steering wheel. “Yeah.”“

ASHLEYAfter that kiss with Garrett, I couldn't figure out what I wanted anymore.I'd spent so much time telling myself that I needed to move on. That it was time to let go of Jordan and allow myself to be happy with someone else.Maybe Garrett could be that someone.The kiss should have made things easier. It had felt good, better than I wanted to admit. For a moment, I'd forgotten everything else and simply let myself enjoy being close to him.But instead of giving me clarity, it had only left me more confused.Because Jordan was still on my mind.Ever since his confession in Selene's office, I'd tried to talk to him. More than once.But it was almost as if he was deliberately avoiding me.We worked in the same building, yet somehow I could go an entire day without even catching a glimpse of him. Whenever I thought I might finally get the chance to speak to him, he was already gone.And then there was Garrett.He kept planning dates for us, and I hadn't even figured out how to talk

JORDAN One of the things I should have done a long time ago was reach out to Gwen.But I couldn't bring myself to do it.Instead of facing what happened that day, I buried it. I convinced myself that leaving it in the past was easier than opening a wound I wasn't sure either of us knew how to deal with.For a long time, I ran from it.I told myself I was moving on, but the truth was, I never really stopped thinking about that day.I've decided I'm not running anymore.I'm not going to pretend it didn't happen or act like it hasn't been haunting me all these years.So the first thing I did was reach out to Gwen.It wasn't easy getting her number again. Luckily, a friend from college was able to get her contact for me, and after staring at her name on my phone for far too long, I finally sent her a message.Honestly, I wasn't expecting a response.But she replied much sooner than I anticipated.We eventually spoke on the phone, and for the first time in years, I heard her voice again.

ASHLEY“I love you, Ashley.”The words had been echoing in my head since last night.When Garrett said them, I hadn't known how to respond. Looking into his eyes, I could see how much he meant every word, and that terrified me. I was afraid of hurting him, so I had stayed silent, unable to give him the answer he deserved.To his credit, he hadn't pressured me. He hadn't demanded an answer or made me feel guilty for not giving him one.But that only made me feel worse.Since then, I'd been trying to convince myself that giving Garrett a chance was the right thing to do.I enjoyed his company. He was kind, funny, charming, and a good listener. He paid attention to the little things and made me feel seen in ways I hadn't realized I was missing. He was the kind of man any woman would be lucky to date, perhaps even spend the rest of her life with.So why couldn't I bring myself to say yes?Why was I having second thoughts about something that should have been so simple?With a sigh, I pres

ASHLEYYou know that feeling when you've done something reckless, and you're not even sure what it means or whether it has changed anything at all?That was exactly how I felt as Jordan walked me to my apartment building.I pressed my lips together, trying to quiet the thoughts swirling in my head. We'd kissed. Twice, if I counted the second time I had pulled him back to me.And I still had no idea what any of it meant.“We're here.” I gestured toward the building. “I'll go inside.”The awkwardness in my voice was impossible to miss.Ever since we'd kissed in the elevator, neither of us had known how to address what happened. We'd barely spoken on the way here, and honestly, I preferred it that way.Because I already knew what he would say.He'd probably tell me it was a mistake. Or remind me that he was engaged, as if I needed another reminder that loving Jordan Henderson had never been simple.I gave him an awkward little wave and turned to leave.“Ashley.”I stopped.My heart began
