The husband went out for bread, leaving Elena with the baby in her arms. He returned after 10 years, intending to divide her apartment. But upon entering the living room, he was STUNNED

That’s why he came to her to try his luck in the old place. But he was too late. Jennifer began pushing Michael toward the exit.

Mike, come on, go already. Our conversation is going in circles, and you haven’t said anything important. I really don’t have time.

What, are you kicking me out? Michael said reproachfully. But we haven’t really talked to you properly. You always avoid serious topics.

The ex-husband reluctantly but still headed for the exit. That’s it, I need to run to the store. Jennifer quickly put on her outdoor shoes and opened the door.

Michael, on the contrary, was dragging out time. He laced up his sneakers for so long that his ex-wife thought to herself that she could have gone to the store and back by now. When the laces were finally done, Jennifer began pushing Michael out onto the landing.

We didn’t finish talking, the ex-husband sniffed offendedly. Yes, yes, later, everything later. Jennifer quickly closed the door and hurried down the stairs.

But when can we talk normally? «I want to see my son!» the ex-husband shouted after her. «Let’s do it after the weekend!» – Jennifer replied on the run. She walked quickly along the house and turned the corner.

There was a playground there, surrounded on all sides by thick trees. Jennifer sat down on one of the benches, sure that she couldn’t be seen from here, and caught her breath a little. The arrival of her ex-husband caught her off guard.

It’s good that Alex and Robert weren’t home, otherwise there could have been a serious scandal. Jennifer sat on the bench for about half an hour. During that time, she managed to outline the main plan of action.

The woman decided to talk to her son and husband and prepare them for a possible meeting with Michael. Jennifer was most worried about little Alex. He was at that difficult teenage age when it seems like the whole world is against you.

The woman looked around and headed toward the store. When she returned home with her purchases, Michael was no longer on the landing. Over the weekend, Jennifer chose what seemed to her a suitable moment and knocked on her son’s door.

— Come in, — Alex shouted. He was flattered that his mom didn’t just walk in, but actually knocked. — I wanted to discuss one issue with you.

Jennifer decided to approach from afar. — About your childhood and about your father. Alex spun around in his computer chair and looked attentively at his mother.

— What is there to say about him? I hardly remember him. — Yes, you were very little, still going to kindergarten. — I was five, — Alex suddenly said, which greatly surprised Jennifer.

— So he does remember him after all, — she thought to herself. — Dad promised to give me a transformer robot that we saw in the store window, but he didn’t have time because he ran away from us. — Wow, I didn’t know anything about the robot.

Jennifer was getting closer to the main topic of the conversation. — You know, Michael, your father, suddenly showed up. She looked intently at her son.

How would he react? But Alex listened without saying a word. He said he would like to meet you and talk. — I have nothing to talk to him about, — the teenager cut off.

— Mom, I spend a ton of time at school. Then I have practice and exam prep with a tutor. On weekends, I barely find time to play on the computer.

A cool new game just came out. When am I supposed to meet him? While Jennifer was choosing the right words, Robert walked into the room. — Oh, I remembered, — Alex suddenly slapped his forehead.

— My friends invited me to hang out. So definitely no time to meet him. Jennifer looked at Robert.

He put his hand on his shoulder and said. — Alex, the guys will have to wait. — Come on, Dad, — Alex drawled…
