Secretly Married To My Ex’s Uncle

Summary

Shortly after our engagement was finalized, my fiancé sent a child back to the States for me to deal with.

It arrived with an email that read like a casual afterthought:

[Evelyn, life in London got a bit tedious, and Tessa and I ended up with a kid. Consider it a gift. Since you’ve always been so compliant and sweet, I figured you wouldn’t mind looking after him. Think of it as practice—once I’m back, you’ll be well-trained to serve as our live-in help.]

I didn't argue. I didn't send a scathing reply. I simply handed the boy over to the estate manager.

Seven years passed.
