When i saw my child, i wanted to leave my wife, but what she revealed changed everything…

The happiest day of Samuel’s life ought to have been the day he became a father. However, a jolt of coldness went down his spine as he saw his child. He didn’t look like this long-awaited baby. He became extremely angry, with only one idea on his mind: Had Emma cheated on him?

A Disturbing Doubt

Sincere love held Samuel and Emma together as a solid relationship. This child had been their top priority. But why hadn’t Emma allowed him to attend the birth? He had accepted that decision with reluctance, but now it appeared strange.

He was horrified when the doctor finally opened the door for him. Emma was carrying a baby with startling blue eyes, golden hair, and remarkably pale skin. He didn’t look like Samuel at all.
— “Is this a joke?” he said in a frozen whisper.

Emma, tired but tender, looked up at him.

– “I can explain everything, Samuel.”

However, he had stopped listening. He was now positive that this baby couldn’t be his.

An Unsettling Indication

Emma gently held his hand just as he was about to storm away, overcome with wrath.
— “Pay close attention,” she muttered.

She raised the infant’s small foot. Samuel scowled. There was a crescent-shaped birthmark on his right ankle. The same as the one his father had left him.

His entire world swung. How could this have happened?
— Emma went on, “There’s something I never told you, Samuel.”

She clarified that she possessed a rare recessive gene, which was discovered via a genetic test she had taken before to their marriage. Even if both parents have dark complexion, this gene might produce a child with lighter characteristics.

— “You must also carry this gene for our baby to look like this,” she continued.

Samuel fell on one of the chairs. He wanted to be upset, but there was no denying the reality. He glanced at Emma, then at his child. This infant was definitely his.

The Trial of the Family

Another storm was waiting for them at home. When they saw the baby, Samuel’s family, who were excited to welcome him, froze.
— Is this a joke? His mother cried out in disbelief.

The suspicion was not allayed by their explanations. Every visit became an interrogation, and they were burdened by critical looks. That is, until Samuel discovered his mother carrying a wet cloth in the nursery.

“What’re you up to?” He let out a cry.

She was caught red-handed after jumping. Persuaded that the birthmark was a fake, she had been attempting to remove it.

The final straw was that.
— “Either accept our child or avoid us,” he said forcefully.

The Indisputable Reality

But the skepticism remained. Samuel and Emma, exhausted, made the decision to have a DNA test.

The findings supported their presumption that Samuel was the father.

There was an unpleasant hush in the room when he showed his family the document. A few bowed their heads in embarrassment. A slight murmur came from his mother.

– “I apologize.”

Emma opened her arms and embraced her with disarming compassion.

Samuel came to understand that family was about the links we chose to keep safe, not just our biological ties. He had also picked Emma and their kid.
