Her man hugged her tightly. He was practically half her age. \u201cHow could she hurt me? Was my love fading? Did I not please her? These thoughts flooded my mind.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I didn\u2019t think this was happening and didn\u2019t want to snoop on her. Unfortunately, she seemed suspicious lately. She would come home late from work and say she was overwhelmed at work and go to bed when I asked why.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I first trusted her.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>My thoughts changed after one night. That night was one of those rare occasions when years of togetherness and happy memories vanished in an instant. I was devastated.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>It started when Julia arrived late from work that night. I heard her on the phone, but it wasn\u2019t weird anymore because she did it often. Not work-related. Not about me either. Julia said, \u201cI love you too. I hope we see each other more. I\u2019m terrified of my hubby. How he\u2019ll respond if he knows about you is unknown.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>\u201cWho was he? Was he in her office? Should I query Julia? I wondered. But tragically, I couldn\u2019t find the courage to make a decision. Maybe, I was too terrified of our relationship ending abruptly. So I avoided it. But it happened again the next day.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>She went home late and used her phone. I looked at her in disappointment and anguish as she texted and smiled. \u201cWhy did you hurt me, Julia?\u201d Cursed myself. But I decided to find out who he was that day. I couldn\u2019t stand this hidden man talking to my wife. My patience waned.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>So I followed Julia to work. Instead of going to work, she drove to a park. I tried to keep my head behind the steering wheel in my car.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I saw a young man hug Julia suddenly. After some while, they moved to a bench and sat.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Julia received a parcel from the man. I saw Julia cry. Was he proposing to her? Did the box contain a ring? It occurred to me.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I lost control of my emotions. In rage, I left the car and approached the boy. Stupid, you touched my wife! I yelled and grabbed his collar.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>His bewildered expression suggested he was innocent and I was bothering him. It infuriated me further. Fist clinched, I punched his face. \u201cYou deserve that!\u201d He got screamed at.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Julia then intervened. Calm down, James. Public place. You must behave!\u201d She advised me to calm down.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>\u201cCalm down? Are you sure?! Then why are you cheating on me? This with a man half your age? I glared at her.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>\u201cI\u2019m not cheating on you, James,\u201d she sweetly remarked. I no longer found that voice gentle. I assumed it was a cheater hiding her secrets.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Julia, don\u2019t lie to me! You\u2019ve been on my radar for days. I heard you say, \u2018I love you,\u2019 on the phone. He was this man, right? Yell at her.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Julia was crying. I can\u2019t believe it, James! We married 15 years ago. How can you think that? She gazed at me innocently.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>This time, I wouldn\u2019t believe her innocence. I carefully held her hand and stared at her. \u201cWhy are you here instead of your office? Explain that?\u201d Asked her.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>She looked pitiful and handed me the boy\u2019s present. \u201cWhat now?\u201d Furious, I said.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>\u201cI think this will put your doubts to rest, James,\u201d she said.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I opened the box to calm down. As expected, it had a ring, but not an engagement or proposal ring. Rusted and dusty, it looked like an old ring. An envelope was underneath. It included a letter.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I opened and read the letter. That\u2019s when I realized my error. Kevin was Julia\u2019s best friend\u2019s son. Claire wanted Julia to care for Kevin after her best friend Clarie was afflicted with cancer when he was five. Julia was unaware of Claire\u2019s final wish.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Kevin was studying abroad and returned home recently. Just days earlier, he sent Julia Claire\u2019s last desire. They\u2019d met since then.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Julia often made dinner for him after work, so she came home late. She planned to tell me everything soon, but I made a mess first.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Overall, I realized I was incorrect to question my wife. I hugged Kevin and her. Julia and I adopted Kevin, and I apologized to them. Now he\u2019s our legal son.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>What can this story teach us?\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Don\u2019t jump to conclusions. Julia\u2019s park appearance with a little boy made James distrust her. His suspicion led him to suspect her of cheating without explaining why.<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>Relationships are built on trust. James would not have embarrassed Julia and Kevin at the park if he had trusted her.<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>Tell your friends about this. It may cheer them up and motivate good deeds.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I noticed my wife in a park with a half-her-age man. I was devastated by that image.
