My Wife Came Home Pregnant After Her Vacation — Then I Discovered Why She Expected Me to Raise Another Man’s Child
Chapter 8
I agreed to meet Claire.
Not alone.
The police were nearby.
Marcus was in another room.
The meeting took place at a private restaurant.
Claire arrived first.
She looked tired.
I sat across from her.
“I’m ready to sign.”
Her eyes brightened.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
She smiled.
“I knew you’d come around.”
I placed the agreement on the table.
“Before I sign, I need one thing.”
“What?”
“I want the baby’s father to be listed.”
She froze.
“You said you wouldn’t fight me.”
“I’m not.”
“You want to expose me.”
“No.”
I looked at her.
“I want the truth.”
She stood.
“You’re impossible.”
I stayed calm.
“Julian.”
Her face changed.
“You know.”
“Everything.”
She started crying.
“I didn’t mean for this to happen.”
“You planned it.”
“No.”
“You traveled with him.”
“I was confused.”
“You transferred him money.”
“I was desperate.”
“You tried to make me legally responsible.”
“I was afraid.”
“Afraid of what?”
She looked at me.
“Being poor.”
I stared.
That was her answer.
Not love.
Not fear of losing me.
Money.
She wanted my life because she didn’t want to return to hers.
I stood.
“The marriage is over.”
She whispered:
“Daniel.”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“You didn’t make a mistake.”
“You made a plan.”
And I walked away.
