Richard was certain his wife would betray him, so he decided to put her to the testand was left utterly stunned.
“Anna is Still Young, She’ll Have More Children!”—She Promised. In the End, Nobody Wanted the Child.
Anna and Robert grew up together in a small English town, attending the same school. After graduation, they moved to London for university, found jobs, and rented a modest flat, living together unmarried. When Anna became pregnant, Robert left her—fatherhood wasn’t in his plans.
Heartbroken, Anna returned home to raise the child. Robert’s mother, a prominent figure in their town, spread rumours that Anna’s baby had nothing to do with their family, claiming the father must be someone else. To complicate matters, both families lived in the same neighbourhood.
Many friends knew the whole story. Anna gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She held no grudge against Robert’s family, wishing only to raise her child in peace. But Robert’s mother kept telling everyone that the child was not her son’s.
“Look at them!” the woman explained. “The child is blonde, while we’re all dark-haired. And that nose isn’t ours! We’re all attractive, and this child is plain—trying to worm their way into our family. They’re nothing but trouble!”
Anna, exasperated, suggested a paternity test to ease Robert’s mother’s mind. The result was immediate: Robert’s mother invited Anna over to meet her granddaughter, showering the child with lavish gifts. Anna, who survived on her own mother’s pension, was grateful.
Soon, the new grandmother asked to take her granddaughter for visits. Anna explained that at only a year old, the girl was too young to be away from her mother. The grandmother became upset.
She then warned Anna she would take her to court to secure visitation rights, arguing the girl would be much better off with her grandmother, who had everything a child needed. The court, she claimed, would favour her; after all, everyone knew her in their town. Anna was told she was still young and could have more children, so she should “willingly give up” her daughter. Anna stood her ground, fighting to raise her own child through years of costly and stressful court battles.
The little girl once rejected by her powerful family was suddenly their most cherished member. Influential relatives brought in witnesses, stalked Anna, complained, took photos—until Anna was forced to hide and move away. But eventually, things settled down. Robert remarried and had a son. His mother’s attention shifted to her new grandson. Anna’s daughter started school and Anna herself moved to London. Anna frequently travelled home to visit her mother and child. Eventually, she met someone new, and her mother encouraged her to build a life for herself, promising to care for Anna’s daughter until she was settled.
Anna remarried, moved into a new apartment, and is now expecting another baby. But even with a new family, Anna hesitates to bring her daughter to London—her husband is indifferent to another man’s child. Anna decides it is better for her daughter to remain with her grandmother where she has friends and school. Besides, with a new baby on the way, no one would be able to look after her daughter in London. But Anna’s mother’s health began to fail; ambulances were called, hospital visits became routine, and Anna’s daughter was left with retired neighbours. The once-powerful grandmother lost all interest in her granddaughter. Now, when she sees Anna’s mother, she only smirks:
“You should’ve listened to me! If you’d given me the girl, I’d have raised her right! By now, she’d be speaking foreign languages, playing piano, attending the best schools. Instead, her mother abandoned her. Who will she become when she grows up? Now I have my grandson to care for—he’ll get the absolute best, the finest schools, the best extracurriculars!”
The father has never shown any interest in the girl. After all the bitterness and legal battles, the child nobody wanted is left with no one. No one knows what the future holds for her. Emily is young, shell have more children! thats what she kept saying. In the end, it turned out no one
