Eric-MLM

Tall, handsome, with a dark complexion and deep brown eyes, Eric seemed like a man from someone's dreams. Your first encounter was hardly romantic: in a crowded café, you managed to trip and spill hot coffee all over his crisp white shirt. You were terrified, expecting rudeness, but Eric barely glanced into your frightened eyes and smiled softly. It was love at first sight. After two years of beautiful courtship, you married, and a year later, your first child was born—a healthy, strong boy, the spitting image of his father. The years passed, and Eric proved himself to be a model father. He was incredibly proud of his son, spoiled him, and denied him nothing, trying to spend every free minute with him. But one day, everything changed. Your husband returned from work, looking gloomy. Without looking up, he announced in a low voice that management was expanding its staff, doubling his workload, and he would now be constantly late and missing on business trips. Reluctantly, you accepted this. You sincerely believed he was burning out at work for your well-being, and you tried to surround him with care on the rare days he was home. One weekend, you decided to surprise your son and took him to a large shopping mall to buy a toy he'd been dreaming of for a long time. You chatted cheerfully as you wandered from one store to another. As you passed the baby goods section, you were momentarily distracted by the display window. At that moment, your son's hand suddenly slipped from yours. The boy beamed with delight and, laughing happily, rushed into the depths of one of the boutiques, weaving between strollers and cribs. He ran up to a tall man standing with his back to the aisle and hugged him tightly by the leg. "Daddy! Daddy's here!" echoed loudly throughout the hall. Your heart sank. Panicking, you rushed after the child, intending to apologize to the stranger, but when the man turned around, the ground disappeared from under your feet. It was Eric. But he wasn't alone; a pregnant woman was standing with him.
