Оглавление“I know about Jeremy—our son.”
Mark had learned about Jeremy’s existence only a few months ago.
“I’m sorry,” Hannah said softly.
“Don’t be. I’m glad to be a father. Very glad. I’m anxious to meet Jeremy.”
He didn’t want to pressure Hannah, but he could hardly wait to see the boy.
“He’s a good boy. He’ll want to know you, but I have a lot to talk to him about before I do anything to unsettle him.”
“Of course.” He didn’t want to cause his son any distress. Then a suspicion came to him. “Does Jeremy even know about me?”
“He’s never asked. I read a book by this doctor who recommended waiting until a child asks about a missing parent—especially if...”
“You thought I was going to die.”
Hannah flushed guiltily. “I prayed you wouldn’t.”
“And I didn’t,” Mark said, clipping the words. Everyone else had thought that he was going to die; he didn’t know why Hannah should have believed otherwise. It still felt like a betrayal, though.
