No Longer Growing Old Together
When I went to the hospital for a checkup to see if my fourth IVF attempt had succeeded, I saw Daniel Cooper, who was supposed to be on a business trip.
He was carefully supporting a young, beautiful woman as they walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Her belly was unmistakably round, and she looked like she was ready to give birth at any moment.
Daniel froze for just a second before stepping in front of her, shielding her from me.
He explained, "Abby, the Cooper family needs an heir to carry on the lineage. Once the baby is born, everything will go back to the way it was."
I heard the certainty in his words. So I smiled, nodded, and quietly tucked my test results away as he stared at me in surprise.
On the day she gave birth, I left the divorce papers on the kitchen table and walked out of his life for good.
