A devoted elderly couple celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner. As they sat together, the husband gently asked his wife a question that had been on his mind for decades.
“My dear, I’ve always wondered about our tenth child,” he said softly. “He never quite resembled the others, and it’s always bothered me.” The wife’s response was unexpected, yet reassuring.
“These seventy-five years have been the most incredible experience of my life,” she said. “But I must confess, our tenth child did have a father of his own.”
The husband was taken aback, his emotions raw as he struggled to process the truth. The wife, unable to meet his gaze, remained silent for a moment before revealing the shocking truth.
“It was you,” she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. The husband’s eyes welled up with tears as he struggled to come to terms with the secret his wife had kept hidden for so long.
