I fell in love with another woman, and we’re expecting a baby, the husband said….

Wow, do you understand this kind of work? Anne was surprised. Of course, my father did it all his life. We had a profitable wood processing business, by the way.

I’ve been in this area since I was a child. But when my mother died, my father eventually met another woman and sold everything. I didn’t even think about doing this business.

I just wanted to leave for the city. My father gave me a large sum of money from the sale of the business. I graduated from agricultural college.

I know everything about forestry. I became a car mechanic because my profession wasn’t in demand in the city. But I make good money.

Enough for me and Eva. I still plan to leave the city and do what I love. Anne listened to Matthew with admiration.

She had never met such simple and sincere people in her life, except for Gwen and Wes, of course. Matthew shared a lot about his plans for the future. Anne liked everything about him.

His sense of humor, simplicity, way of communicating, care and attention. She especially liked his sincere eyes and smile. Matthew and Anne were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Eva entering the kitchen.

Daddy, who is this lady? Eva asked. Eva, darling, how are you feeling? Matthew smiled, turning to his daughter. Come here.

I’ll introduce you to my friend. This is Anne. She lives next door to us and came to help us as soon as she found out that you were sick.

Hello, Anne. I’m Eva. I’m very pleased to meet you, Eva.

You’re a very cute and beautiful girl, Anne said. Looking at her new acquaintance with curiosity. You’re also very beautiful.

Do you have a daughter? The little girl asked. Unfortunately, no. I would really like to have a smart daughter like you, Anne replied sincerely.

Well, if Eva agrees, I suggest we order pizza and watch an interesting movie. We have an unplanned day off tomorrow anyway, Matthew suggested. Eva clapped her hands with joy and hugged everyone.

Hooray. Will Anne also be with us? Matthew looked imploringly at the confused woman. Well, if you accept me into your team, I would be happy to join you, Anne said, stroking the little girl’s unruly curls.

And the girl leaned against her, putting her head on her shoulder. Anne was touched by the child’s sincerity, warmth and openness. From that day on, a true friendship blossomed between Anne and Matthew.

Eva was pleased that Anne had become a frequent guest in their home. The friendly company spent time together perfectly, playing board games, watching educational films about animals and often going to amusement parks and zoos. After spending months together, Anne could no longer imagine her life without Matthew and Eva, just as Matthew and his daughter couldn’t imagine their lives without Anne.

The house construction was progressing rapidly. Wes entrusted Anne with another complex project, which she handled brilliantly. The employees now consulted Anne on difficult matters and she never refused to help them.

One day, when Wes came to the office, he was acting differently than usual. Anne noticed this and decided to find out from her friend what was troubling him. Wes, may I come in? I made coffee.

Anne knocked on the boss’s office door with a cup in her hand. Hello, Anne, come in. Of course, you’re always welcome.

Wes smiled. Did something happen? You seem upset, Anne said. Yes, Anne, you’re right, something happened.

Remember, Christopher gave me some money. Well, he’s having some problems with his business and other things. Ellen seems to have given birth to a son and he demanded the money back sooner than expected.

And that’s not all, Anne. He asked me to tell you that the apartment you live in, in two words, he has his own family and he won’t pay the loan for it anymore. Yeah, that’s to be expected.

It was a surprise to me that the property was bought on credit, but Christopher promised to pay for it regularly. Once again, I believed him and he cheated again. I’ll pay back my debt within a week and I don’t understand how he could do this to you.

We’ve been together for so long. You sold your apartment and invested every penny in the house where he now lives with another woman. I really wanted to hit him hard, but this coward refused to even meet with me.

He said I should put the money in his account. And since I supported you, he said we have nothing more to talk about. Where’s our manage? The apartment is in my name.

I earn good money and I have a wonderful boss. So I’ll pay off the loan myself. Now I’ve learned a lesson for life.

I was foolish, young, and didn’t think it would all end like this. But he has a son now. You know, Christopher always wanted children.

And of course he should think about his future now. Anne sadly smiled. Oh, come on.

Do you still feel pity for him after all he had done? Oh, Anne. But anyway, you’re not alone. Gwen and I will help you.

Our company’s reputation has grown thanks to your efforts. That’s why I decided to give you a well-deserved raise. Thank you, dear.

Can I leave early today? Everything is done at work. I want to stop by the store on the way home. Today is my birthday.

We’ve already picked out a gift with Matthew. We just need to pick it up. Wow, you’ve picked the gift out with Matthew? Wes smiled…
