A Decade without Kids, Her Affais Finally Unveiled

Recently, my wife had been feeling nauseous, so I took her to an OB/GYN clinic my friend had just opened. After checking her, he told us to take it easy for a while. However, he then pulled me aside and asked if we still planned to stay child-free.

I told him “yes” because ten years ago, Evelyn had an injury that made her unable to have children. For her, I even had a vasectomy. The scar was still there.

When he told me she was pregnant, I was shocked. I thought it had to be a mistake. But everything changed when I found her social media account from overseas.

There was a photo of a happy family of four.

——

I kept scrolling. Half of the photos were with the same man and six years ago, two kids appeared in the posts. A boy and a girl who looked just like him. They were twins, probably around five years old.

The last family photo was taken three months ago, during the time Evelyn told me she was going abroad for a work trip. When she returned, she started feeling unwell. I thought it was just stress. I never imagined she was already pregnant with her third child.

I stared at her latest post. She was smiling, holding her belly, with the caption reading like this.

[Eternal happiness.]

She had known for a while.

I called her.

“Don’t you know I’m in a meeting? Let’s talk later,” she said and hung up before I could speak.

In the past, she would never have acted like this.

I called again.

“James, are you sick? I said I’m in a meeting!”

“Where? Your assistant said there’s no meeting today.”

There was a pause.

Then, she replied coldly, “I’m at Everton Corporation. If you have something to say, just say it.”

“I … ”

She hung up again.

Looking at our photo on my phone, I knew this marriage might already be over.

I went to Everton Corporation and saw her Porsche outside. She wasn’t alone. The man from the photos was with her. They were laughing and touching each other like a couple. I froze in place, heartbroken. I wanted to confront them, but stopped myself.

There was no point in yelling. This wasn’t something I could fix with anger.

So, I pulled myself together, knocked on her office door and walked in to act like I hadn’t seen a thing.
