Eight Years After My Ex-Husband Called My Pregnancy a Lie, He Invited Me to Christmas to Meet His Fiancée. I Arrived at Cedarcrest Estate With Four Boys Who Had His Face.

Daniel didn’t seem to realize what he had just said.

Then he smiled.

Adrian smiled too.

I stood in the doorway and watched.

For the first time, I wasn’t looking at the man who had left me.

I was looking at the father my sons had never known.

After breakfast, Adrian took the boys outside.

They played in the snow.

He threw a snowball at Ethan.

Ethan screamed.

“Dad!”

Then all four boys attacked him.

Adrian fell into the snow laughing.

I stood by the window.

Vanessa came beside me.

“You’re smiling.”

“I am?”

“Yes.”

I watched Adrian help Samuel stand.

“I don’t know what happens after today.”

“Neither does he.”

I looked at her.

She sighed.

“I canceled the wedding.”

I turned.

“What?”

“I can’t marry a man who is still living inside a lie.”
