She Said the Baby Was Just a Favor

I was the last to know that my wife, Juliet, was pregnant with her second child.

My two-year corporate assignment in South Africa had finally ended. When I walked through the front door, Juliet was already about to pop.

I didn't scream. I didn't demand answers. I just looked at her calmly and said:

"Now that I’m back, we can file for divorce."

Juliet panicked. She grabbed my hand, her voice trembling with anxiety.

"Alex, let me explain... You were gone for two years.

Leo was the one who took care of everything around the house. I only had this baby to repay him. Don't overthink it."
