Anne stumbled into Harry, her friend from college. Her mother was caring for her five daughters, while she was having a coffee. They decided to chat a little since it has been so long they talked lastly.
Harry asked about her family, and Anne explained that her husband, Matthew, left them. She said that after their second daughter was born, he changed a lot. He wanted a son, and having girls disappointed him.
Now his daughters were scared of him, and they were barely talking. After the birth of their fifth daughter, he filed for divorce and left his family.
Harry stated that he could help her. If she needed a place, Harry offered a room in his house. He recently moved in to Seattle, so he explained that he can do whatever Anne needed.
Anne wasn’t expecting that, as she was aware that Harry was in love with her in college, but this was too much. She thanked for the offer, and they talked about Harry’s life.
The days went by, and Matthew was still living in the same house with Amy and their girls. He was acting as if he was single, and would party. One day, he brought a woman into the house and that was it for Anne. She packed, and called Harry for help.
After Anne moved in with Harry, Matthew wanted the house. But the court gave the house and full custody of girls to Anne. As time passed, Harry and Anne fell in love, and married. Harry accepted the children as his own.
They later welcomed their son, Alan. Years passed, and Alan started to preschool. Anne was at the mall with her son after school, as he needed some stuff. She run into Matthew in there.
As Matthew was working as an office executive in a company, he should be living a decent life but there he was wearing a uniform.
As Anne was shocked, she asked what happened. He stated that he was working in there. He was the janitor of the mall. She then introduced her son, Allen. Without a shame, Matthew then asked her to have a coffee with him. He stated that he was desperate, and wanted to talk.
He then stated that he needed money, and asked that if she can sell their old house.
As Anne had a soft heart, she stated that she will think about it and left. After talking with Harry, she sold the house, and give half of the money to Matthew. She was the bigger person in the story after all.
Later, he wanted to reconnect with his daughters, but none of them wanted. She never heard from him later.
