Hopeless Situation

Sending up a prayer of thanks to the heavens that his mum had told him before about what she told his wife, Thomas turned to Reyona "Well, we just knew about them recently also. Cousin never told us that he had children outside, you know. This woman just showed up last week with those kids. None of us had any idea how she knew about mom's relationship with Rafe. Well, she just showed up that morning with those kids and told her how she and Rafe had been together for a long time, even before he married his divorced wife, Meg. Mum said she was still reeling from that as she invited them in when the woman told her that she was actually on her way to Vegas to get married to the love of her life, someone who would be proud of her as a wife and not just keep her aside as a mistress. And that was it. She walked out on those children like they did not exist. How could a mother be like that?"

He shook his head with feigned outrage on his face, like he couldn't believe what had happened.
