Episode 960: Secret“Is it okay? Meeting here? I mean, I know your husband doesn’t know I’m your daughter.” Ava couldn’t stop feeling like coming to her biological mother with her problem was a mistake. Truthfully, she was seeking excuses to walk right out the door.“My husband is away on business,” Sarette said. She touched Ava’s shoulder. “I know it must seem horrible to you that I still haven’t told him about you, like I’m ashamed, but I swear that’s not the case. You are a smart, kind person, and that’s… It’s such a credit to the mother who raised you. And I’m always so impressed with what you’re doing as a businesswoman, all these ideas you devise for your store. I am nothing but proud of you. My husband though, he’s very conservative, and I’m just afraid… I know it’s my own fault that I’m in this situation, the choice I made, I don’t want to lose the person I’ve spent most of my adult life with, the father of my son, but at the same time, I know continuing to keep you a secret is alienating for you, it further hurts any chances of us getting closer. I don’t expect you to feel sorry for me, I just want it understood that it isn’t easy to keep it quiet, it isn’t a decision I’ve made at all lightly. It’s just a really, really difficult thing to know how to handle.” “I’m, um, having some experience with handling difficult things myself,” Ava admitted. “That’s why you wanted to meet today?” Ava nodded and she finally removed her scarf and coat after a good long while of Sarette holding out her hands to take them. Tears swelled in Ava’s eyes. “I’m really struggling with something here. It’s related to what I asked before the wedding, about the guilt you feel for keeping me a secret from my dad.”
