My Neighbor Didn’t Show Her Chil.d to Anyone for Three..
Martha always felt something was strange about her neighbor Nelly, who had lived next door for three years but remained a mystery, rarely seen and never showing her supposed child. When Martha finally approached Nelly, her nervous retreat only intensified Martha’s unease. Her husband, Evan, dismissed her worries, but curiosity spread among other neighbors, like Mrs. Freddie, who tried to investigate only to be turned away.
One afternoon, Martha accidentally received a letter meant for Nelly, prompting her to visit. Peering into the house, she glimpsed a little boy with a birthmark she recognized, and the shock made her collapse. Neighbors rushed to help, but the truth soon unraveled: Nelly’s son, Tommy, was Evan’s child, the result of an affair. Coerced into secrecy, Nelly had hidden next door.
Facing the betrayal, Martha confronted Evan and served him divorce papers. Evan’s parents, horrified, offered Martha part of their company as a lifeline. As Nelly and Tommy moved away, Martha chose to focus on raising her sons with honesty, determined to build a future filled with integrity and hope.
