Chapter 30 An Attempt At Co-parenting

• The moment had finally arrived. Bethany, summoning her courage and a touch of excitement, prepared for the day she would reveal her son to Greg. She had arranged an informal gathering at her home, with Greg. The atmosphere was a precarious mix of anticipation, nerves, and underlying tension.
• As the doorbell rang, Bethany took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart. She opened the door with a warm smile, though her fingers trembled slightly as she greeted Greg and Michelle. Greg entered first, his eyes scanning the room with a mixture of curiosity and guarded optimism. Michelle followed closely, her expression a mix of polite indifference and barely concealed irritation.
• “Come on in,” Bethany said, her voice bright but betraying her nerves. She led them into the living room, where her son was busy constructing an elaborate tower of colourful blocks. The soft hum of a lullaby played in the background, adding a soothing touch to the scene.
