Robert, a 32-year-old husband and father, has been juggling job and family life with ease. He is married to Candice and has a five-year-old son named Samuel, who they call “Sam.”
Candice and Robert have been blissfully married for eight years. Both of them worked at first, but for the last five years, Candice has been a stay-at-home mother and Robert has been the only one supporting their family.
Therefore, Candice took great care of the house and their son while Robert worked till 7 p.m. every day.

But when Robert saw a shift in Sam’s behavior toward Candice, things took an odd turn. He would try to stay away from her if she tried to kiss or hug him. There was something wrong, and Robert knew it. He was unable to comprehend why his son felt so cut off from his mother.
After a few days, Robert made the decision to speak with Sam.
“What’s the reason behind your recent avoidance of your mother, Sam?” One day, while Candice was out of the house running errands, Robert inquired.
“Mom has evolved. With a puzzled and dejected expression on his face, Sam replied, “She has a secret and doesn’t want to share it with me.”
What are you saying? What is the secret? Afraid about his son’s response, Robert questioned.
She frequently sobs in her room while you are at work. She screamed at me and begged me to leave when I asked her why she was weeping. Sam attempted to clarify, “She had a picture in her hand, but as soon as I entered the room, she placed it in the green box and concealed it beneath the mattress.”
Robert was taken aback. He kept wondering what was in that green box Sam said and what could have caused his wife’s sadness.
“How frequently do you hear your mother sobbing?” Robert wanted to know.

“Son, don’t worry. Your mother most likely has a motive. Robert told Sam, “I will speak with her.” However, he was secretly concerned because he was unaware of his wife’s situation.
After a little conversation, Sam went to his room to play with his toys.
Robert couldn’t resist looking beneath the mattress for the green box that made his wife unhappy, even though he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do.

Although the picture showed a contented family, Robert was drawn to the man’s striking likeness to Candice. Robert’s thoughts began to go to the most sinister regions at that moment. Is Candice unfaithful to him? Robert had never seen or heard of that family before, so why did she have that picture of them?
Robert made the decision to approach Candice while holding the picture.
“Do you have a secret lover, Candice?” His voice trembled as he inquired directly.
“What? What are you discussing, Rob? Candice gave a defensive response.
Robert continued to look for answers and showed Candice the picture he was holding. “Who is this?”
Robert’s mind raced in an attempt to comprehend. “So, you acknowledge that you cheated on me?”
“No! I didn’t cheat, sorry. All right, I’ll tell you the whole story, but please don’t tell anyone,” she pleaded.
She inhaled deeply before beginning to share her experience.
With passion taking control, Candice disclosed, “My grandma gave me this picture before she passed away.” “My grandmother advised me to make my own decisions on what to do with it.
She disclosed that my mother had an affair with her lover and cheated on my dad. My brother and I were twins when she gave birth. She loved my dad and wanted to stay with him, but her lover wanted to have children.
