New Father Kicks Wife With Newborn Twins onto the Streets, Years Later He Begs Her for Help – Story of the Day

A minted father who is unwilling to spend money to raise his newborn twins asks his wife to give up one baby for adoption. He kicks her out with the babies when she refuses and knocks on her door for help five years later.

It was a cold, rainy night, and Angie cradled her newborn babies at the bus stop. “Where will we go? Jesus, please help us. Shelter us as we wait out this rough night,” she cried, wiping warm tear droplets off her babies’ faces. Angie had nowhere to go, and her parents had died long back.

Suddenly, she sensed something creeping behind her and was terrified. Angie mustered the courage to protect her babies from whatever it was. “It’s a dog!” she sighed.

Angie never imagined her life would turn topsy-turvy overnight. She never thought her husband Jake, who she trusted and loved throughout their marriage, would kick her out with their babies just a week after their birth…

“How I wish my mom were with me today…Sorry, mama, I should’ve listened to you and not rushed with my marriage with Jake,” sobbed Angie, thinking about her late mom.

“You can stay in this house as long as you agree to keep just one baby or leave if you want to keep both. Decide wisely, dear.”

Angie met Jake after graduation five years ago. He was a young, handsome man, and she thought he was the one. They fell for each other in what would turn into a fairytale love story, but with one exception—there was no ‘happily ever after’ in Angie’s case.

Problems sparked in the fourth year of their marriage when she told Jake she was pregnant.

“But darling, you know I’ve just started my business. We have postponed baby planning all these years, and I am not ready to be a father yet,” Jake was upset when Angie showed him the two pink lines on her pregnancy test kit.

Jake’s reluctance to be a father showed he was unprepared for responsibilities. Poor Angie was torn between his disapproval of having children and her desire to have as many as possible. But was Jake prepared to know Angie was pregnant with twins?

“I am okay with having a baby…you get it? I mean, one baby is enough,” said Jake as Angie walked into the ward for scanning. “I pray that you don’t come out and tell me we are having twins,” he joked, his mouth curved into an ironic smile. Moments later, fate joked back at him.

Angie came out, distressed and worried. She was pale while she was supposed to be blushing and smiling.

“What is it?” he asked her, impatient for her reply. “What did the doctor say?”

Angie swallowed her fear and spoke out, partly guessing Jake’s reaction. “Our babies are fine,” she said.

“Alright…wait, what…babies?” he exclaimed.

The scan Angie took minutes ago gave her a glimpse at two tiny lives growing inside her. She was pregnant with twins, and Jake was not happy about that.

Jake stormed to his car as Angie read his mind and pictured his frustrations. She was nervous and thought he had joked about having only one baby. But his reactions proved otherwise.

Jake grew distant from Angie day by day and focused only on making more money. She knew he was upset about having twins and assumed he would cool down with time. But it only worsened during her third trimester.

Angie was in the hospital, waiting for Jake to see their newborn twin baby girls. But he never showed up. He sent his maid and driver three days later to bring Angie and their babies home.

Jake did not want to get involved with his babies. He didn’t even welcome them home or hold them. He was unhappy and unprepared to be their father.

Angie returned home with her newborns that evening, knowing little about Jake’s condition. “We keep only one child and give the other up for adoption. If you are okay with it, we are a family. If not, you can leave the house with them,” he told Angie.

At first, Angie thought Jake was kidding. He dragged her suitcase to the living room and placed it in front of her, indicating he was serious.

“I’m not ready to raise two children and burn a hole in my pocket. My business is fetching a lot of profits, and I need to focus on making more money…I don’t want to waste my time and wealth on raising two babies when I can easily raise just one,” he explained.

Angie was devastated. “They are our babies, Jake. How could you ask a mother to give up her baby? Are you out of your mind? Both my babies are our symbol of love,” she cried. But Jake was stubborn.

“My business has just started to flourish, and I don’t have the time to focus on family. I don’t want to waste my hard-earned money on two babies. You can stay in this house as long as you agree to keep just one baby or leave if you want to keep both. Decide wisely, dear,” he said, despite knowing Angie had nowhere to go.

The poor mother’s choice was obvious. She took her suitcase and left the house with the babies. Jake’s greed for his newfound riches blinded his devotion to family. He failed as a husband and a father. But it didn’t matter to him.

Angie snapped to her present and found herself still deserted at the bus stop, cradling her babies. “Where will I go? Please help me, Jesus,” she cried and was disrupted by an intense beam of light rays.

“Hello there, are you alright? It’s raining heavily. Would you like a ride, my dear?” an older woman called out to her from a taxi. Angie looked up and saw a nun. She wrapped her babies in her jacket and approached the car.

“Oh my, how adorable your babies are!” exclaimed the nun. “Get in. I’ll drop you. Where do you want to go?”

“I don’t know, Sister,” said Angie. “My path is dark, and I am lost. I don’t know which way to go. My babies and I were abandoned by someone dear to us.”

The nun understood Angie’s misery and immediately took her to the convent.

Angie and her daughters, Sophie and Marley, found a safe shelter to wait out the rough days of their lives. Angie taught in the school administered by the church. She also worked part-time in a restaurant, and two years later, she saved a good chunk of money to start her café.

Gradually, Angie was able to give her daughters a better life, though it could’ve been much better had their father been involved. Moreover, Angie did not regret her decision not wanting to divorce Jake. Deep in her heart, she hoped he would realize his mistake and come for them someday.

Five years passed, and Angie now had her own house. It was quite small yet comfortable. She spent the best years watching Sophia and Marley grow up.

There were times when Angie used to struggle without enough profits in business, but her faith and determination motivated her. She launched two more coffee shops in town, and gradually, her fortune grew. But in the other part of town, Jake’s business tanked.

He was drowned in debt, and everybody he sought financial help from refused to support him at the last minute. Jake knew how rich Angie was now and thought only she could help him.

“Hey, how are you?” Angie answered the door one day when she least expected to see Jake at the doorstep. “Come in!”

Jake vaguely smiled and immediately apologized to Angie. “Darling, I’m so sorry for abandoning you. My greed to earn more money cost me big. I am bankrupt, and it’s the best punishment I deserve for kicking you out with our babies. Please forgive me, and please help me.”

Angie now understood why Jake had come. She had learned about his loss in business but never thought he would visit her and apologize, let alone ask for help.

Jake saw a photo of Angie with their daughters and cried. “I’m sorry, sweethearts. Please forgive your daddy,” he said. Angie’s heart melted, and though she knew Jake had come crawling for help, she was willing to do it because she still loved him.

“But darling, I will not be able to repay such a huge amount of money. I will need time. I was such a cruel husband and a heartless father. Are you sure you want to help me?” he sobbed when Angie gave him a check worth the money he wanted.

“The night you kicked me out, I learned what greed is and how it can ruin relationships. And today, I learned what forgiveness is. What are we going to achieve by holding onto our past grudges? Nothing! Everyone makes mistakes, but as humans, we must learn to forgive one another,” said Angie.

Jake realized his mistake and promised to take Angie and their kids back once he sorted his business issues. He wanted to be a good father to his children and compensate for the heartbreak Angie endured all these years.

  • One of the best attributes of humans is our ability to forgive. Despite being wronged by Jake, Angie forgave him and helped him financially when he came to her and apologized.

Single Mom Treats Her Daughter to a Birthday Meal, Surprised to Discover the Bill Was Already Settled

Kate had been saving money for her daughter’s birthday. She prepared everything her daughter would want, even if it meant going way over her budget. She never wanted her daughter to feel anything less than special. But when she saw the bill, she realized she had gotten in over her head this time.

Kate walked hand-in-hand with her daughter, Holly, toward the restaurant, the cool evening air filled with the hum of excitement.

Holly’s favorite restaurant wasn’t far, and her little feet almost skipped with joy as she looked up at her mother, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“Mom, are you serious? Can we really go here?” Holly’s voice trembled with excitement, her gaze fixed on the bright lights of the restaurant sign ahead.

“Yes, my dear,” Kate replied, squeezing her daughter’s hand gently and offering a warm, reassuring smile.

“And I can order ice cream?”

Holly’s smile grew even bigger, her face lighting up as though this was the best news she had ever heard.

“You can order whatever you want,” Kate said, her heart filling with happiness at being able to give her daughter this special treat.

Being a single mother had been difficult for Kate ever since her husband passed away. Balancing a job that barely paid enough while taking care of Holly had been a daily struggle.

Money was always tight, and there were many sacrifices, but Kate was determined to make sure Holly never felt like she was missing out on love or happiness.

She had been saving up for this dinner for months, wanting to give Holly a birthday she would always remember.

As they stepped into the restaurant, Holly’s excitement was nearly impossible to contain.

She rushed ahead to the table, bouncing on her toes as she scanned the menu eagerly. At just eight years old, she was old enough to recognize that tonight was different.

Usually, meals out were simple and rare, reserved for special occasions like good report cards or holidays. But tonight, her mother had given her the magical gift of being able to order whatever her heart desired.

Holly’s small hands flipped through the menu, trying to decide between all the delicious options.

Before she could make a choice, a group of waiters appeared, singing a cheerful rendition of “Happy Birthday” as they carried a towering cake with candles glowing brightly.

Holly’s eyes grew wide with wonder, her smile stretching from ear to ear as the cake was placed in front of her.

Kate watched the scene unfold, her heart swelling with pride and joy. Seeing her daughter’s face light up made every penny she had saved worth it.

Holly eagerly dug into the cake, tasting new flavors she had never had before, and Kate couldn’t help but smile at how much her daughter was enjoying this special evening.

For a moment, Kate forgot about the financial struggles, the hard work, and the sacrifices.

All that mattered was Holly’s happiness, and tonight, her daughter was the happiest little girl in the world.

As Holly savored her cake, her face glowing with delight, a waiter approached Kate quietly, a serious expression on his face.

He gestured for her to step aside. Kate’s heart skipped a beat, a sense of unease creeping in. She excused herself and followed him to a more private corner of the restaurant.

“Ma’am, the price for your order is going to be double what we discussed,” the waiter said softly, his voice low but firm.

Kate froze, her heart plummeting.

“Double? Why? We agreed on a $300, and I saved carefully for this,” she responded, panic bubbling up in her voice.

“The recipe for the cake you ordered has changed, and now the ingredients are more expensive. You will have to pay the full amount, $600,” the waiter explained, his expression unreadable.

Kate felt a wave of shock wash over her. How could they change the price like that, without even warning her? Her thoughts raced, calculating the little she had left after saving for months just to make this night special for Holly.

Her throat tightened, and she swallowed hard. “$600 for a cake?! But… I can’t afford it,” she whispered, her voice trembling with fear and embarrassment.

The waiter’s calm demeanor didn’t change, but his words felt like ice.

“If you don’t pay, we’ll have no choice but to call the police.”

Kate’s chest tightened, and she felt a lump rising in her throat. The fear of ruining Holly’s birthday, the shame of being unable to pay, and the threat of involving the police all rushed through her mind at once.

She nodded weakly, trying to maintain her composure. She didn’t want Holly to see her like this.

With trembling hands, Kate returned to the table, forcing a smile for Holly, who was still joyfully devouring her cake, oblivious to the storm brewing inside her mother. Kate’s heart was heavy, her thoughts swirling with panic.

She had wanted everything to be perfect, to give Holly a birthday filled with laughter and joy. But now, it seemed like everything was crumbling before her eyes.

Sitting down, she watched Holly enjoy the treat, her innocent happiness lighting up the room.

Forcing herself to keep it together, Kate knew she had to figure out how to handle this situation, but for now, she could only watch Holly’s smile, pretending everything was okay when it was far from it.

When it was time to leave, Kate felt her heart pounding as she asked Holly to wait by the door. Her mind raced, trying to figure out what she could do.

She knew she couldn’t afford to pay the full amount, but she had to handle this situation without letting Holly know.

Taking a deep breath, Kate approached the waiter. Her hands were trembling as she spoke, her voice cracking with emotion.

“Please,” she began, “I can’t pay the full price. But I’m willing to work for it. I can wash dishes, clean, or do whatever you need me to do. Just please don’t call the police. And please… don’t tell my daughter.”

The waiter stood there for a moment, looking at Kate with an unreadable expression. She could feel the seconds stretching into what felt like forever. She held her breath, terrified of what he might say.

But then, to her surprise, his expression softened. “Ma’am,” he said gently, his voice calm, “there’s no need for that. The bill has already been paid.”

Kate blinked, hardly believing what she’d just heard. “Paid? By who?” she asked, her voice barely more than a whisper.

“A woman,” the waiter replied, glancing toward the door. “She came in earlier. She asked to cover your bill, and she left just a few minutes ago.”

Tears of relief sprang to Kate’s eyes. She could hardly process the kindness of this stranger. Who would do such a thing, and why? “Do you know who she was?” Kate asked, her voice thick with emotion.

The waiter pointed toward the exit.

“She was wearing a white coat. I saw her leave just a little while ago.”

Without hesitating, Kate rushed outside, her heart pounding with gratitude and disbelief. Scanning the street, she finally spotted the woman in the white coat, walking away calmly. Kate broke into a run, calling out after her.

“Excuse me!” she shouted, her voice filled with urgency and gratitude. “Wait, please!”

The woman turned, and as Kate approached her, she was overwhelmed by the simple act of kindness that had saved her from an impossible situation.

Kate finally caught up to the woman, her heart pounding. She reached out and gently touched her arm. “Excuse me, ma’am,” she said, breathless and still overwhelmed by the situation. “Did you… Did you pay for our meal?”

The woman turned around slowly, her face soft and kind, with a gentle smile that immediately put Kate at ease. “Yes,” she replied warmly. “But there’s no need to thank me.”

Kate shook her head in disbelief, her voice trembling with emotion. “Why? Why would you do that for us?”

The woman’s eyes softened further as she gazed at Kate. “I’m a mother too,” she said quietly, her voice filled with compassion.

“Years ago, I was in a situation much like yours. Money was always tight, and I had to tell my children ‘no’ more often than I would’ve liked. I still remember the guilt I felt, wishing I could do more for them.”

The woman paused, her face clouding with old memories.

“But now, I’m in a better place financially. I can finally afford things I couldn’t back then, but I can`t turn back time and my children kids again. They will never have their happy childhood because of me.”

Kate stood there, listening, tears welling up in her eyes. The woman’s words touched her deeply, resonating with her own struggles.

She had worked so hard to give Holly the best she could, and hearing that someone else understood made the burden feel a little lighter.

The woman smiled gently and continued,

“Your daughter won’t remember the money you spent tonight, Kate. What she’ll remember is how loved and special she felt. That’s what matters. Childhood is precious, and you’re giving her memories she’ll carry for the rest of her life.”

Kate could hardly speak, her voice barely a whisper as she said, “Thank you… You have no idea how much this means to me.”

The woman gave a soft smile and nodded.

“One day, you’ll be in a position to help someone else. And when that day comes, you’ll know what to do. That’s how the world works.”

As the woman turned and walked away, Kate stood there, feeling a profound sense of gratitude and warmth. She watched her disappear into the evening, and for the first time in a long while, she felt lighter.

Returning to the restaurant, Kate gathered Holly, who was still full of excitement from her birthday celebration.

As they headed out, Kate’s heart was no longer heavy with worry. Instead, she felt at peace, knowing that the world still had kindness in it—and that one day, she would pass that kindness on to someone else.
