We will set up a program for them. I don’t want their father missing, but we need stability and clear rules.
He has approved.
For the first time, Ryan left without trying to turn everything into a discussion about what he wanted.
Two weeks later, I got an unexpected phone call.
It Was Vanessa.
I don’t know where he got my number. I was on the brink of closing right away.
But something in her voice made me listen.
Claire, I know you probably hate me. But I have to tell you something.
I was left in silence.
Ryan lied to me too.
I closed my eyes.
Vanessa, I don’t care what happened between you.
That’s not what this is about. He told me he had no children and that you had already filed for divorce. He even showed me some documents.
I headed in a chair.
- What documents?
A copy of a divorce petition. Or at least that’s what it looked like. He had your name and once from a few months ago.
