Laura was excited to meet her son Ryan’s girlfriend, Sophie.

She prepared a warm dinner, including Sophie’s favorite dish,

wanting the evening to be perfect. At first, everything was going well — Sophie was sweet, polite, and clearly cared for Ryan.

But then Sophie saw a family photo on the shelf.

Her face went pale. Trembling, she asked,

“Is his name Thomas?”Confused, Laura nodded.Sophie’s voice shook as she confessed,

“He’s been with my mom for years…

and she’s expecting a baby. She doesn’t know he’s married.”

Laura’s world crumbled. Her husband, Thomas,

wasn’t away on endless business trips — he had a second life.

Determined to know the truth, Laura drove with Ryan and Sophie to Sophie’s house.

When Thomas opened the door, the truth was undeniable. Behind him stood Sophie’s shocked,

pregnant mother.Ryan, devastated, whispered to his father,

“You mean nothing to me.”

Laura calmly turned to Sophie’s mother and said, “He’s your problem now.”

Then she walked away,

ready to start over.Later that night, Ryan and Sophie sat side by side, quietly supporting each other.

They weren’t just two young people caught in a painful truth — they were kids who had both been left behind by the same man.
