I Accidentally Saw My Pregnant Daughter with My 48-Year-Old Best Friend at a Restaurant

Elliot valued control, but after his daughter Mia left, silence filled his home. Their last fight replayed in his mind—she refused to introduce her boyfriend, insisting she was 18 and independent.

Months later, he spotted her at a café, visibly pregnant, with his best friend, Joshua. Fury overtook him, and in the heated confrontation, Joshua fell, hitting his head.

At the hospital, Mia revealed the baby wasn’t Joshua’s—her boyfriend had abandoned her, and Joshua had only helped. Guilt consumed Elliot as Joshua needed emergency surgery. When Suzanne, Joshua’s wife, panicked over the cost, Elliot gathered his savings, handing them over. “He’s my best friend. This is the least I can do.”
