His mother had taken her own life after his father’s affair drove her into a breakdown. Evan had always despised infidelity, going so far as to refuse to work with people he deemed morally corrupt.
And honestly, if there were someone else in his heart, how could he have treated me so well all these years?
With that thought, I decided to give him another chance.
Evan pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly. His tears fell onto my neck, warm and wet, and I could feel him trembling.
I knew Evan wasn’t someone who cried easily. If he was crying now, it meant he truly loved me. It meant he was genuinely afraid of losing me.
I whispered, “Evan, don’t lie to me. If you ever betray me again, you’ll lose me for good.”
His body stiffened slightly, but a moment later, he leaned back and looked at me with determination. “Hannah, I swear–your Evan will never betray you. Ever.”

And just like that, we made up.
In the weeks that followed, Evan treated me better than ever before.
He started driving me to and from work every day, never missing a single pick–up or drop–off. He brought me a different bouquet of flowers every morning, gave me nightly massages, and curled up on the couch with me to binge cheesy rom–coms, no matter how
much he hated them.
At work, my coworkers teased me endlessly, saying I had my husband wrapped around my finger. Some even asked me for tips on “husband training.”
But unlike before, when I used to speak of our relationship with pride and confidence, I could only muster a faint, hollow smile.
The events of that night had left a knot in my heart–one I couldn’t untangle, no matter how hard I tried.
A month later, I found out I was pregnant.
When I told Evan, he was over the moon. He picked me up and spun me around in circles, laughing like a child.
Watching him beam with joy, I felt a sense of relief. I was glad I hadn’t let one mistake
ruin what we had.
I thought to myself, He’ll be a great dad.
That hope shattered the day I walked into the OB–GYN’s office and saw him with Sofia.
He was sitting next to her, his hand gently resting on her belly, his face glowing with tender excitement.
I froze in the doorway, my heart pounding as watched him lean closer to her and smile. “Everything’s going to be fine,” he said softly. “I can’t wait to meet our baby.”
Sofia, her face flushed with happiness, looked at him and asked, “Do you think you’ll love our baby more than Hannah’s?”

Without even looking up, Evan replied, “Of course I will. This is my first son.
“Besides, you’re young and beautiful. There’s no way her baby could compare to oure”
