My Neighbor Didn’t Show Her Child to Anyone for Three Years

When I confronted Evan, he dismissed my concerns. Then, our neighbor Mrs. Freddie tried to visit Nelly but was met with hostility. My suspicions grew, and when I peeked through Nelly’s window, I saw the boy—Tommy.

Nelly finally confessed. Tommy was Evan’s son from an affair, and Evan had secretly supported them, even moving them next door. Tommy believed Evan was just a friend.

When Evan returned from a trip, I handed him divorce papers. Nelly arrived with Tommy, and Evan turned pale. “I can explain,” he said, but I was done.

The divorce was swift, and Evan’s parents compensated me. Nelly and Tommy moved away. As I watched my sons play, I vowed to raise them to be better men than their father.
