For a moment, Thomas paused, giving Rebecca time to absorb this surprising information. Then, firmly and confidently, he continued,"It may be hard to believe, but I can confirm that they are my children. I am not here without a reason, I want to protect you, not harm you."
Rebecca was silent, shocked by what Thomas had just revealed. Her heart ached and confusion swept over her.
"In my heart, it's hard for me to just trust you," said Rebecca in a choked voice. Her voice was full of doubt and caution.
Rebecca felt that she couldn't quickly believe Thomas after hearing such a shocking confession. Her feelings oscillate between pain at the possible betrayal and confusion about what she should actually believe.
Rebecca felt her breath hitch, reflecting her chaotic emotional state. Her mind was filled with confusing questions. Is this really the truth? How could she not have realized this all along? Is there any evidence she can obtain to confirm this truth?
