"This has nothing to do with you, Chester," Samantha said as she wiped her tears. Her voice trembled with a mix of sadness and uncertainty.
Chester felt a knot forming in his throat as he placed his hand on his neck. He couldn't believe that one mistake had such unimaginable consequences. He looked at Samantha, his eyes filled with a whirlwind of emotions. "I... I never meant for this to happen, Samantha," he managed to say, his voice choked with guilt.
Samantha saw the conflict in Chester's eyes and reached out to hold his trembling hand. "Chester, I know you love Andrea. I don't expect you to leave her for me. I made a choice too, and I will take responsibility for our child."
Chester's heart ached as he listened to Samantha's words. He cared for her, but his love for Andrea was undeniable. "Samantha, I never wanted to hurt you. I don't know what to do. How can I tell Andrea? Will she still accept me after she learns the truth?"
