\"\"<\/p>\n

A rich man changes his will, disinherits his children, and leaves everything to a mysterious set of triplets \u2014 then his wife discovers who they are. Graham Carlyle changed his will, and no one was supposed to know \u2014 at least until he died. But as it happened, his lawyer\u2019s son was dating his daughter and the cat was out of the bag. \u201cWhat do you mean, we get nothing in the will?\u201d gasped Caroline Carlyle, \u201cWho is he leaving it all to?\u201d So the lawyer\u2019s son told Caroline who told her brother Ralph, and they decided to figure out who these heirs were, and went to the orphanage mentioned in the will, you a baby you were busy having an affair with another woman and SHE had no trouble falling pregnant! Is it a boy or a girl?\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham squirmed. \u201cActually\u2026three boys\u2026identical triplets. But Marcy, I didn\u2019t even know! I only found out three months ago \u2014 the woman died and her lawyer sent me a letter\u2026\u201d Marcy nodded thoughtfully. \u201cI see,\u201d she said calmly. \u201cGraham I think you\u2019d better sleep in one of the guest bedrooms tonight.\u201d \u201cMarcy,\u201d Graham cried. \u201cPlease, it was only that once! I never cheated before or since\u2026\u201d But his wife had already turned her back and walked away. For the next week, Graham lived in apprehension, but Marcy kept her distance and her silence. As for Caroline and Ralph, they were quiet as mice, hoping their father would overlook their part in his rift with his beloved wife. One afternoon, Graham came home early and heard the sound of children\u2019s voices and laughter coming from the garden. He hurried to investigate and saw Marcy on the lawn with three handsome toddlers playing catch. \u201cMarcy!\u201d he gasped. \u201cWhat\u2026\u201d Marcy looked at him and smiled. \u201cGraham: I hate your cheating, but I love you, so I love your children \u2014 all your children. And if you allow it, these boys can be my children too.\u201d Graham fell onto his knees in front of his wife and sobbed. \u201cForgive me, Marcy,\u201d he whispered. \u201cI know I\u2019ve hurt you! I don\u2019t deserve a woman as wonderful as you!\u201d Marcy said wrily. \u201cI know THAT Graham! But I do forgive you.\u201d Graham and Marcy raised the three boys together, and even though he did forgive Caroline and Ralph eventually, he refused to change his will to include them as beneficiaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
