😲 “Dad, is my other dad coming to have dinner with us?” my daughter asked: I went down to the basement, convinced I would discover my wife’s lover, and I was left frozen when I saw who was hiding there.
I came home earlier than expected after my business trip, and everything seemed normal. My wife and daughter were in the house and welcomed me warmly.
I rested a bit while my wife prepared dinner. When we sat down at the table, my daughter looked at me for a few seconds before asking:
– Dad, is my other dad coming to have dinner with us?
I laughed, thinking my daughter had a lot of imagination and that children her age often say strange things.
But she continued:
– He is in the basement, all alone.
I looked at my wife, who remained silent but seemed nervous, and I asked her for an explanation.
She simply shrugged and said our daughter was making things up and that we shouldn’t pay attention to it.
– We’ll go see, I said as I stood up from the table.
At that moment, my wife turned pale and began begging me not to go. It was already obvious that she was hiding something.
As I went downstairs, I smelled a strong odor. I was already convinced I would catch her lover, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.
– This is impossible, I said when I saw the man who was there.
The rest of my story is in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
I saw my twin brother Simon, who had left fifteen years earlier without giving any news.
I was overwhelmed with anger and shouted at my wife and at him.
Simon then left without saying a word.
My wife explained to me that he was suffering from terminal cancer.
He had asked for help, and she had hidden him in our basement without telling me.
We went to get him.
I found him at the cemetery, near our parents.
He told me he wanted to stay close to his family before he died.
He lived with us for seven months and my daughter called him “other dad”.
Then he passed away one winter morning.
