They soon came to the conclusion that they would not be going to Grandma’s. The car swerved toward a large city park. I watched from a distance as they left and walked to a seat where an unidentified woman and a young man, maybe 14 or 15, were already standing.
Then I saw my husband go over to the boy. then kiss him on the forehead. Our kids started playing with him right away, as though they had known him for ages.
I couldn’t stand by and watch much longer.
I went over to them. The first person to see me was my spouse, who immediately recognized my face.
I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you the truth.
It turned out that before we met, he had been in a serious relationship. His partner left without informing him that she was expecting a child.
She recently contacted him to inform him of his son’s birth. At first, he didn’t believe it, but everything was confirmed by a DNA test.
“I didn’t know how to tell you,” he murmured softly. Additionally, I wanted our kids to get to know their sister.
I needed time. But after a few months, I’ve come to terms with the notion that this is a reality of our new life. We’ll manage.
