“Do you even care that you cheated on your girlfriend?” I didn’t have much sympathy for Dana considering she’d gotten with him when she knew he had a family at home, but still. I wondered if he had any remorse at all that he’d wronged another woman in that fashion.
“I know you don’t care that I was finally happy, that I found someone I pictured a life with—”
“Oh, because a life with me would have been so horrible?” Logan shot back, his face turning red.
“Yes, it would have. Look at yourself! You’ve cheated twice, you have children with two different women…you ruined a good thing you didn’t need to ruin, Logan. I don’t want anything to do with you, other than regular child support payments and for you to stay in touch with your kids.”
He brought his hands to his hips and cast his gaze to the floor. “If you let me explain—”
“Not interested.” I turned and headed toward the alcove before he could rush after me. “Hey!” I crooned loudly as I rounded the corner and found my kids turning the plastic steering wheel on a racing game.
“Mommy!” Bella yelled, scrambling down from the orange bucket seat. Cole followed quickly after. I crouched down and grabbed them both in tight hugs, desperate to hold off the tears that threatened to fall.
“Is Wyan in Bwazil, or is he at home?” Bella asked, and the question sliced through me in a fresh way, a way that burned and bled me dry, because they associated home with Ryan. He was important to them, he mattered…and I had to be the one to tell them he’d never be there again. How was I supposed to explain to my kids that Ryan never wanted to see me again?
I couldn’t.
