His eyes widened.
“God, no.”
He reached for my hand.
“I looked at our daughter and saw the first physical connection to a man I’ve never met. I didn’t know how to process it.”
Sadie squeezed my fingers.
Then she admitted that she had encouraged Ethan to keep the truth quiet when he was younger because she feared Levi might feel replaced.
I looked down at Lily.
She was sleeping peacefully, completely unaware that one tiny birthmark had uncovered decades of family history.
Finally, I looked at both of them.
“No more secrets.”
Ethan nodded immediately.
“I promise.”
Then I turned toward Sadie.
“And I think we should find out who Sebastian was.”
Ethan stiffened.
“No. I can’t do that to Dad.”
“This isn’t about replacing Levi. Lily will eventually have questions about where she comes from. She deserves truthful answers.”
