“It is mine, honey,” I said softly.
His hands curled into fists. “Then who?” he demanded. “Who is he, Emma?”
“There is no one else,” I said, meeting his eyes. “There never has been.”
He laughed bitterly. “Do you expect me to believe that? The doctors said—”
“I know what the doctors said,” I interrupted gently. “And if you want a divorce, I won’t stop you.”
That made him freeze.
