Woman Avoids Men after Divorce until Young Son Brings Her Future Husband Home — Story of the Day

Having been constantly disappointed by her ex-husband, Megan avoided any romantic pursuits. But everything changed when she met Daniel. Will she open herself up to the idea of falling in love again?

Megan had recently divorced her husband of 12 years, Victor. When Megan first met Victor, he was an ambitious man who had promised her a bright future.

After their son, Chris was born, Megan tried her best to motivate Victor to chase his dreams and work hard. Unfortunately, Victor was all talk, no walk. He was an absent father, always spending time away from home and only ever working odd jobs.

Eventually, Megan had enough. She constantly worked extra hard while Victor slacked off, so she filed for divorce after Chris turned ten.

Victor moved back into his mother’s house, and Megan decided to focus on Chris’ future. She worked two jobs to cover their living expenses and Chris’ school fees.

It would be their first Christmas together since Victor left, and Megan wanted to treat Chris to a special day. Chris was taking an extra art lesson after school, so Megan was supposed to pick him up later in the day.

She had been tired for weeks and, after cleaning, sat on the couch for a quick power nap. Megan thought to herself, I’ll just rest my eyes for a short while. She didn’t realize that she had left her phone in a different room, so she slept through her alarms, and couldn’t hear her phone ringing.

Megan woke up to the sound of her front door knocking, and when she looked out the window, she could see it had gotten late. She grabbed her phone and rushed to the front door in a panic. When she opened the door, Chris was standing there with a good-looking man she couldn’t recognize.

The man was tall and built and wore a white t-shirt with paint stains all over it.

“Hi there, I’m Daniel, Chris’ art teacher from school. I tried calling you while Chris waited for you, but I...
