A wealthy businessman encounters a beggar with two children and realizes he knows her. His response stuns everyone around

She knew Logan meant well, but bringing Jake back into her life felt like reopening a wound that hadn’t fully healed. What did he say? She finally asked, her voice hesitant. Logan rested his elbows on the table and sighed.

He admitted everything. He said he knew you were pregnant but didn’t want to take responsibility. He claimed it was easier to disappear.

Let’s play a little game for those who only read the comments. Type pizza in the comments. Only those who make it this far will understand.

Now let’s get back to the story. Olivia felt her anger rise like a tide. She hadn’t expected anything different from Jake, but hearing those words out loud still stung.

Did he mention the girls? She asked, her eyes brimming with tears. No, he didn’t even ask about them. Olivia clenched her fists, trying to hold back her tears.

As much as she despised Jake, a part of her had always hoped that one day he would show remorse or at least some curiosity about the daughters he had abandoned. Logan stood and placed a hand on her shoulder. Olivia, you don’t have to face this alone.

I’m here. She looked at him, struggling to resist the urge to break down. Thank you, Logan, but there are things I have to handle on my own.

That night, after putting the girls to bed, Olivia sat at the kitchen table, staring at a cup of tea that had gone cold. Logan’s words echoed in her mind and the thought of Jake lingered like a shadow. She knew that to move forward, she had to confront the past once and for all.

In the days that followed, Olivia tried to resume her routine, but she couldn’t focus. Memories of Jake and the confrontation Logan had mentioned weighed on her like an anchor. Logan, noticing the change in her demeanor, decided to give her space but watched her with concern.

One morning, Olivia made a decision. She picked up the phone and called Jake. He answered after a few rings, his voice indifferent on the other end of the line.

Jake, it’s Olivia. We need to talk. There was silence for a few seconds before he replied.

About what? It’s been so long. It’s about the girls. You’ve never wanted to know anything about them, but that needs to change.

Not for me, but for them. Jake sighed. Olivia, I’ve already made it clear.

I don’t want to be part of this. What do you want me to say? That I’m sorry? Because I’m not. Olivia’s heart tightened, but she kept her voice steady.

So you’ll never meet them? Never take any responsibility? I’ve moved on, Olivia. I think you should too. Before she could respond, the line went dead.

She stood there, holding the phone, trying to process the emptiness left by that conversation. It was the closure she needed, but also a harsh confirmation that Jake would never be part of her daughter’s lives. When Logan arrived that evening, he found Olivia sitting on the couch with the twins asleep beside her.

He sat down next to her, waiting silently for her to speak first. I talked to Jake. She finally said, breaking the silence.

Logan frowned. And how did it go? As I expected. He doesn’t want anything to do with them.

He feels nothing. Logan clenched his fists, his anger evident. He doesn’t know what he’s missing.

Olivia looked at her daughters and sighed. I didn’t do it for him. I did it for the girls.

I needed to be sure there was nothing left to expect from him. And now? Logan asked. Now I move on.

I don’t want the girls growing up under the shadow of a father who never cared. Logan nodded, admiring the strength Olivia was showing. He knew she still carried the pain, but he could also see a renewed determination in her.

The next morning, Logan surprised Olivia with a small gift. A notebook and an elegant pen. What’s this? She asked, curious.

A tool for you to plan your future. I want you to write down your goals and what you need to achieve them. We’ll work on it together.

Olivia smiled, touched by the gesture. Thank you, Logan. I don’t know what I’d do without you.

You do exactly what you’re doing now. Rebuilding. I’m just here to make sure you have every chance to succeed…
