“Michael recently found his father,” Daniel said. “And Robert agreed to meet him.”
“What does any of this have to do with this forest?”
Daniel looked at me for a long moment.
“Because they were supposed to meet here today.”
I stared at him, confused.
“You mean Robert left me alone so he could meet his son?”
“It’s not quite that simple.”
Daniel took out his phone and showed me a message.
It was from Robert.
“I’ll bring Margaret there. She deserves to know the truth at last. But please, don’t tell her anything until I’ve spoken to her myself.”
I was stunned.
“Then why did he tell me to walk toward the lake?”
Daniel answered:
“Robert was afraid. Michael had asked to meet both of you. But your husband changed his mind at the last moment.”
“Then why did you tell me not to go back to him?”
