Mag-log inUnderstanding the meaning behind my words, Tommy began to tremble all over.In that instant, everything finally made sense to him—why, during that time, Finn and I had been so quiet, so distant.So… we had known all along.We had known he wasn't Tony."Sarah, listen to me. Let me explain. It's not what you think…"He had just started to speak when he was interrupted by someone storming in like a whirlwind.It was Amy."Tommy, you shameless jerk! You actually came here to look for Sarah?! Didn't you say you would take responsibility for me?"Hearing her voice, a flash of despair crossed Tommy's eyes.After learning the truth, Amy had become a completely different person.She criticized him every day—this wasn't good enough, that wasn't good enough—always saying he was inferior to his brother.When the pressure became unbearable, he would think of the past: of me and Finn, quietly waiting for him at home.That was why today had happened at all.He hadn't expected Amy to find
By the time Tommy found me, I had already been married to Ricky for a full month.He stood downstairs in my house, shouting my name at the top of his lungs."Sarah! Sarah Radley!"The one who opened the door was Ricky.Seeing Tommy's messy hair and haggard, exhausted face, he raised an eyebrow."Well, if it isn't Sarah's late husband's elder brother. What are you here for?"Tommy choked for a moment, then glared at him in fury."Where's Sarah? I want to see Sarah—and Finn. They're my family. I want to ask her why she would remarry!"Ricky answered him with a heavy punch."You're insane. You're nothing but the elder brother-in-law—what right do you have to interfere? Sarah remarried. Who do you think you are, to approve or disapprove?"Tommy's voice faltered, guilt flashing in his eyes."I'm not Tony. I'm Tommy! Sarah is my wife. How can I not have a say?"Ricky let out a cold laugh."You're Tommy? Tommy died a long time ago. What proof do you have that you're Tommy?"Tomm
I knew nothing of the farce unfolding in the Robinson family.By then, I had already boarded a train to Hartton City with my son.Standing in front of a three-story house, I clutched the address Ricky had given me and hesitated for a long time.Before I could decide whether to leave, the front door opened. A man in a white shirt stepped out. I didn't even have time to hide before he caught my wrist."Sarah, why didn't you come in?"Seeing Ricky's familiar eyes and brows, I gave an awkward smile."I thought I had the wrong place."I knew he’d left our hometown a few years ago to start his own business and that it was doing well, but I never imagined he’d become this successful.Ricky, though, was exactly as he'd been in my memories—without a trace of arrogance.He reached out and, with practiced ease, lifted Finn into his arms.Finn, completely at ease with strangers, grabbed his arm and asked, "Uncle, are you my new daddy?"I was just about to answer when Ricky nodded."Yes
Tommy stumbled, nearly knocking Amy down.The people around them erupted into noisy discussion, most of it filled with curses aimed at me."Tommy's only been gone three days. How could Sarah remarry so quickly?""Exactly! She even took Finn with her. No matter what, Finn is still the Robinson family's grandson. What she did was shameless!""Tsk, tsk. So Sarah is really that heartless? Never thought she'd do something like that."He couldn't hear anything clearly anymore. The voices around him turned into a dull buzzing in his ears. Only a few words echoed endlessly in his mind—Sarah was going to marry someone else!How could she? How dare she take his son and marry another man?Seeing him freeze in place, Amy began to panic."Tony, can we finish our wedding ceremony first? We really shouldn't delay any longer."But Tommy said, "Amy, I can't. I have to go find Sarah and bring her back first. She's my brother's widow. How can she just remarry whenever she wants?"A twisted fl
I frowned, putting on a confused expression."Mom, that would be too much trouble. In a few years, Finn will be going to school. There'll be so many places to spend money. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to keep asking you for money over and over?"My mother-in-law's gaze fell on Finn, who was sitting on the chair. She seemed conflicted.She genuinely loved this grandson. But he might not be her only grandson in the future.Once she made up her mind, she dropped her restrained attitude."Sarah, you're my daughter-in-law. Isn't it only natural that I, as your mother-in-law, help manage the money for you?"Besides, the family needs money right now. You can't possibly keep Tommy's compensation all to yourself, can you?"Tony is getting married. Shouldn't you help out a bit?"Hearing her finally reveal her real intention, I stopped refusing.Wiping at my tears, looking weak and submissive, I pulled an envelope from my pocket."What you said is right, Mom. This is the portion
Tommy didn't know that in this world, he wasn't the only one with a childhood sweetheart.I made up an excuse to go out and called Ricky Sterling, the boy who'd grown up with me since childhood.When he learned that I wanted him to introduce someone so I could remarry, he got angry."Did Tommy treat you badly?"Just that one question was enough to make my eyes turn red.I briefly explained the situation. On the other end of the line, I heard the sound of someone punching a wall."Fine. I'll introduce you to someone reliable."I finally relaxed. I just needed to wait for the day Tommy and Amy got married and leave. From then on, I would have nothing to do with the Robinson family ever again.But before that, I still had many things to handle.Because I was "Tommy's widow," canceling his military registration went especially smoothly, and I collected the compensation payment as well.I separated the portion meant for my parents-in-law and deposited the rest into my own savings
