After his wife’s funeral, the husband and his mistress went to the notary to receive his wife’s inheritance. But they were shocked when the will of the deceased was read…

I don’t even want to speak about him. This man isn’t worth getting upset about. «‘And what about the baby?’ «‘That’s what I wanted to discuss with you,’ Jolie hesitated, which was quite unusual for her since she was usually fearless.

«‘I don’t know how to broach the subject delicately. Maybe there is no delicate way. In short, I would like you to be the father of my child,’ she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.

«‘Are you joking? You have a husband?’ Kurt clearly wasn’t prepared for this. «‘Yes, I do have a husband, and I will have him until the day I die. I’ve already made that decision, Kurt.

Of course, we won’t sleep together. It’s impossible given my current condition. I can’t carry the baby myself, unfortunately.

I had my eggs preserved. Now we need the biological material from the future father. Naturally, I also need a woman to carry and give birth to him, but luckily such services are available now.’ At first, Kurt thought it was absurd, the nonsensical ramblings of a desperate woman, yet she had an entire logical plan in her head, and it turned out that she had already completed a significant amount of preparatory work, researched the legal aspects, arranged for a reproductive clinic services, and even found a mother for the future baby.

«‘Kurt, I could use the services of a donor for a father for the baby. I really want to leave a piece of myself behind. But when you think about it, who will the baby be with? I’ve been thinking a lot, but you’re the only one I can rely on.

I am sure of you. Knowing you for so many years, I believe that you will be a great father. I understand that you want to create your own family, get married and have children naturally.

It’s logical. But please think about it. Don’t answer me right now.

For me, after what happened with Nick, it is critical that the money, someone who won’t exploit my assets. I’m not as naive as I was before marriage. Nick taught me a lot.

Now I have a lot of life experience. As for you, you don’t need any money at all. You have plenty.» «‘My father has,’ the man replied, correcting Jolie’s reasoning for the first time.

«‘You know you’re going to get it. You work tirelessly to keep the family company thriving. You’ve never been needy.

Now, I know for a fact that a man who grew up poor will never stop thinking about having enough to eat. And if his decency is also lacking, there will be a big problem. I have experienced that firsthand,’ the woman sadly added.

«‘To be honest, I’m completely confused. I had an entirely different idea of becoming a father. I need to consult my parents.

Understand that I can’t make such a decision alone. I will need the help of close family members when I become a father. So I have to inform them and ask for their opinion.'» Jolie had no objection, so she only requested that Kurt promise to keep in a secret that information.

The conversation with Kurt’s parents was very difficult. His father neutrally accepted everything that was said, listened to all the explanations, and assured that he would support his son’s decision and would help as much as he could with his grandchild. His mother, however, was not as open-minded.

Like all mothers, she wanted him to marry a good woman and have children together. She felt immense sympathy for Jolie. She had known her from childhood and thought highly of her.

But this request, it was very difficult for a mother to accept that her potential grandchild’s mother was dying and that the child would be carried by another woman. Can’t the child get the disease? The woman dreaded this question, finding it awful, awkward, and out of place. However, how else could she ensure her grandson’s safety? «‘Jolie does not have a hereditary form of the disease,’ Kurt answered.

This reassured the anxious woman to some extent, though not completely. Nevertheless, after careful consideration, she expressed her support for her son’s decision. Kurt himself also struggled with indecision.

Jolie’s proposal caught him off guard, but after some period of contemplation, he concluded that there was no reason to refuse. When he conveyed his approval to Jolie, she was overjoyed, and they began implementing her plan step by step. While Kurt sat and reflected on the life-altering story, Mr. Chinland reminisced about the conversation with Jolie a little over two months ago.

Starting from afar, she said that she honoured Mr. Chinland as a second father and hoped he wouldn’t refuse, and then she blurted out that she wanted him to become the guardian of her son. Initially, Mr. Chinland thought his goddaughter was delirious, but as Jolie shared the full story, the godfather was left in shock. Not only had Jolie and Kurt made such a bold decision, but they had also hidden it for so long.

«‘How old is the baby now?’ Mr. Chinland asked. «‘Robert is eight months old,’ Jolie smiled. «‘You both truly know how to surprise,’ Mr. Chinland explained, still processing the shock…
