My Ex-Husband Begged to Take Responsibility

Summary

My father’s company was facing a cash flow crisis, so I went to my ex-husband for help.

Seeing me approach, he put down his documents and looked at me intently.

“We’ve been divorced for three years. What makes you think I’d help you?”

I pointed to my slightly rounded abdomen: “This baby inside me.”

He chuckled at that. “Scarlett Goldsberry, if you’re going to lie, at least come up with a better reason. Whose child takes three years to be born?”

At his words, I scoffed, turning to leave before he could say another word.
