My Ex-Husband Left Me for Another Woman, Then Returned with a Request I Never Expected — Story of the Day
I stood in my living room, surrounded by cardboard boxes, packing up my life to start a new chapter with Eric. Though he wasn’t perfect, his steady presence had helped heal the wounds left by my ex-husband, Tom.
Then a knock at the door jolted me from my thoughts. I wasn’t expecting anyone. When I opened it, there he was—Tom, looking older, with sorrow in his eyes. He asked for help, explaining that the woman he left me for had died, and he now had a young daughter, Ava, who needed me.
Despite everything, I agreed to meet with him and soon found myself bonding with Ava. Her sweetness stirred a longing for motherhood I hadn’t felt in years. Tom seemed desperate, pushing me to become a family again. But I grew suspicious when I discovered a document in his office, revealing he wanted me to marry him to secure Ava’s inheritance.
Confronting him, I was hurt by his manipulation. As I tried to call Eric for support, I feared I had lost him, too. I knew I had to fight for what mattered most—Eric.
On the way to his place, I sent texts, hoping for forgiveness. When I arrived, Eric stood in the rain, waiting for me with a bouquet of white roses—the kind I loved. He had always been there, and now I had to prove I would be there for him.
