Well, so now I know what Matt was hiding from me...
He has a daughter.
My head's spinning. What do I do now? I mean, these days a child isn't such a big deal - he never married her mom, by his ex-lover's choice...but he chooses to tell me now, this day, on a staged "romantic" kidnap that isn't romantic at all. He needs me to help him babysit Molly, who's somewhat of a rebel.
Why, why didn't he tell me before? Am I so hard to confide in? What else is he hiding? It was bad enough at the engagement party, finding out another ex is his business partner - finding out about his brilliant invention that saved McLachlan's, and that everyone knew but me.
Now he has a secret daughter, who's arriving any minute.
How can I walk out? He's made it impossible for me to leave...and impossible for me to marry him. How can I trust a man with my life if he doesn't share his life, his brilliance and his child with me?

Apologies for the lateness of this blog. Hubby decided to take an interesting way home...was absolutely glorious but 11 hours later I'm exhausted, and only realised I hadn't sent the blog when I checked. Eeek.

Whoa! A secret daughter, an ex as a business partner and an invention kept secret as well? Whew! That's a lot of secrets!
ReplyDeleteJulie, do you know how hard it was to read your story when you have MY name? :-)
ReplyDeleteAgain, I still loved it.
Peace, Julie
Sometimes I think all of us don't know the amount of secrets we keep from those we love...and Matt seems to be the King of secrets. I'm feeling pretty knocked about at the moment. Wondering if this will end up like that Arnie movie where he was supposed to be a travelling salesman but was a spy, you know? What else don't I know about this man who says he loves me?
ReplyDeleteI can understand, Julie! I'd be the same if I was reading about another Julie...but then, it is a great name, right? ;-)))

Glorious scenic drive sounds wonderful Melissa.
ReplyDeleteJulie - that's alot of secrets! Good luck with the rebel daughter.
