Chapter 12

“No more sorry than I am. Why couldn’t she divorce me if she felt she had to get rid of me? Doesn’t she realize that will make our children bastards?”

“Still, that’s very kind. My son and I appreciate it.”

“We were all just so sorry his mother…I mean…” She blushed deeper. “Ty is a little sweetie.”
