After Insisting on Getting MarriedChapter 1
1
After my maternity leave ended, I found myself constantly shuttling between home and work to provide for my son's needs.
My husband, Frederic Heitkamp, feeling sorry for my daily struggles, suggested weaning the baby.
Thinking that my son was almost a year old and it was indeed time for weaning, I agreed and had Emeline Ells, my mother-in-law, take him back to their country house.
During my lunch break today, I was scrolling through short videos in the office.
By chance, I came across a video from a neighboring town, showing a family celebrating their child's first birthday.
I thought about how it would soon be time to prepare for my son's birthday, so I watched a bit more closely.
To my shock, the child in the video was none other than my own son!
I quickly paused the video, took a screenshot, and zoomed in to scrutinize it.
It was definitely my son, wearing the unique outfit my mother had made for him, one of a kind.
My heart raced as I sent the video and the screenshot to my husband and nervously called my mother-in-law.
The phone rang for a long time without anyone picking up, so I called Frederic instead.
