I Married a Mama's Boy Chapter 10: What Moms Found
Moms had never liked uncertainty.She preferred knowing where Freddie was, who he spent time with, and what plans he had made. When he was younger, she had called his school whenever he stayed late. When he started working, she made sure she knew his colleagues. Even after he moved into his own apartment, he still called her almost every day.That was how she liked things.But lately, Freddie had stopped sharing details of his life with her. He no longer told her when he was going out or asked for her opinion before making decisions. Worse, he had started questioning the stories she had told him.And Betty was at the center of it all.Moms picked up her phone and called the woman she had hired.“Have you found anything about Betty?”“I have some information,” the woman replied. “But I would rather explain it in person.”“Come to the house this afternoon.”“I'll be there.”Moms ended the call and sat back in her chair. She wanted to know everything about Betty before the woman became e
I Married a Mama's Boy Chapter 9: The Truth Between Them
Betty was waiting outside her apartment when Freddie arrived.She had called him twice that afternoon, but he had been unable to answer. When he finally sent a message saying he was coming over, she knew he had met his father.She opened the door before he could knock.“How did it go?”Freddie stepped inside and set his keys on the table. “I don’t know.”Betty closed the door. “That bad?”“Not bad. Just… strange.” He rubbed his face. “I’ve spent years thinking my father didn’t want me. Now he says he tried to stay in my life.”“What do you believe?”Freddie looked at her. “I believe he made mistakes. I believe my mother made mistakes, too. But I don’t know how much of what I remember is the truth.”Betty led him to the sofa. He sat beside her, still carrying the tension of the meeting.“Did he say why he left?” she asked.“They were unhappy. He says Mom thought he wanted to take me away from her. He admits he should have fought harder to remain in my life.”Betty listened without inte
I Married a Mama's Boy Chapter 8: The Call She Feared
Moms held the phone against her ear, unable to answer.She knew that voice. She had spent years telling herself she would never hear it again.“Are you there?” the man asked.“What do you want?”“I want to speak to my son.”Moms looked toward the front door, as if Freddie might return and save her from the conversation. “You have no right to call him your son after all these years.”“He is my son.”“You left us.”“I know.”The simple answer unsettled her more than an argument would have.“Then why are you calling now?” she asked.“Because I heard he’s getting married.”Moms’s throat tightened. “Who told you that?”“That doesn’t matter. I want to meet him.”“No.”“Moms, I’m not asking your permission.”She stood abruptly. “You don’t get to come back after all this time and act as if nothing happened.”“I’m not acting as if nothing happened. I know I made mistakes. But Freddie deserves to hear the truth from me.”Moms’s eyes fell on the old photograph lying on the table. Freddie was a
I Married a Mama's Boy Chapter 7: A Meeting in the Rain
Freddie chose a quiet café near the city center for his meeting with Laura.He arrived twenty minutes early and took a table beside the window. Rain had begun to fall, blurring the traffic outside. He watched people hurry past with bags over their heads and umbrellas held low.He had imagined seeing Laura again many times. In some versions, she was angry. In others, she was relieved. He had even imagined her telling him she had never stopped loving him.Now that the meeting was real, he could barely think of what to say.The bell above the café door rang.Laura stepped inside.She looked older, of course. Her hair was shorter, and she wore a simple grey coat. But Freddie recognized her immediately. She paused when she saw him, then walked over.“Hello, Freddie.”He stood. “Laura.”They didn’t hug.Laura sat down and placed her bag beside her chair. Freddie called for two coffees, but she shook her head.“Just water, please.”He waited until the waiter left.“Thank you for agreeing to
I Married a Mama's Boy Chapter 6: The Woman Who Left
Freddie’s words left Betty staring at him.“Who?”He looked at the email again, as if the sender’s name might appear if he waited long enough. It was the same unknown address that had sent the message about the woman from his past.“I don’t know for certain,” he said. “But I have a feeling.”“Is it the woman you dated?”Freddie nodded.Betty moved her laptop closer. “Then we should read it.”“Betty, I don’t want you dragged into this.”“I’m already in it. Someone is sending me messages about our relationship, and now they’re bringing up your past. I need to understand what’s happening.”Freddie hesitated. Then he sat beside her.“Open it.”The email contained only a few lines.Betty,You deserve to know that Freddie’s mother was not the only reason I left. I tried to tell him the truth, but he wouldn’t listen. I’m sorry I stayed silent for so long.If you want to understand what happened, ask Freddie why he never came looking for me.—LauraBetty read it twice.“Laura,” she said. “Tha
I Married a Mama's Boy Chapter 5: A Rumor at the Office
Betty arrived at work on Monday determined to put the weekend behind her.She had spent too much time thinking about Freddie’s mother, the unknown messages, and the woman from Freddie’s past. She wanted a normal day, one where she could finish her assignments without wondering who was watching her or what trouble might come next.For the first few hours, she almost managed it.Then her colleague, Nora, appeared beside her desk with a concerned look.“Betty, can I ask you something?”Betty glanced up from her computer. “Of course.”“Are you and Freddie getting married?”Betty smiled, though Nora’s tone made her uneasy. “Yes. We’re engaged.”Nora shifted her weight. “I heard something, and I didn’t want to believe it.”“What did you hear?”“That you pressured him into proposing.”Betty’s smile disappeared. “What?”Nora lowered her voice. “Someone said Freddie’s family doesn’t approve. They said you’ve been pushing him to get married because he’s wealthy.”Betty stared at her.The rumor
