The Name We Gave Our Son

Summary

Arthur Sterling wanted to divorce me for his delicate, white-lotus first love.

Even our child had taken a special liking to her.

When I heard him carefully call that woman "Mom," my heart went completely cold, and I signed the divorce papers.

Years later, I returned to the country for a gathering.

A strange young boy timidly called me "Mom."

My daughter asked curiously, "Is he Evelyn's big brother?"

I shook my head. "Mom only has one child in this life, and that's Evelyn."
