My Husband Forgot His Phone at Home and I Saw a Message, ‘Hi, Daddy,’ Except We Don’t Have Kids — Story of the Day

Danny and I had drifted apart. Then, one morning, he left his phone at home. A message popped up: “Hi, Daddy.” From someone named Martha. My heart pounded—we had no kids. That night, he said he’d be working late, but I followed him. He drove to a house, where a little girl ran into his arms. Was he living a double life?

I confronted Martha, only to learn the truth—Danny wasn’t the father. They had dated briefly, and he had supported her after her child’s father left. The message? Sent by a little girl who had mixed up letters. That night, Danny admitted he hid the friendship out of fear. “I love you. I never would cheat,” he said.

Tears welled in my eyes. “I love you too.”

We promised honesty and a fresh start—together.
