"Is your dad still around?" Robert Thomson paused, as according to his intel, Emma Smith hadn't had any intimate relationships in recent years - aside from Andrew, of course. But Andrew wasn't Thomas Smith's father. So, who was Thomas's father?
Could it possibly be - Thomas wasn't Emma's and her brother-in-law's... illegitimate child, as he thought?
Did she have other intimate relationships?
"Tommy thinks so," he nodded, "Because last time mom and Uncle Andrew argued, mom said she was going to take Tommy to find his dad. But then she changed her mind."
Robert Thomson felt as if he were immersed in an icehouse!
Based on Emma's words, there seemed to be another person he had missed, her intimate partner! And also Tommy's biological father! Who was that person? She clearly knew, but she was hiding it from her son!
