I Decided to Surprise My Husband at Work Only to Discover He Was on Vacation
I decided to surprise Ben at work with lunch last Tuesday, bringing his
favorite lasagna. However, the receptionist told me, “Ben’s been on
vacation for the past two weeks.” Confused, I followed him the next day
to my sister Kate’s house. My stomach twisted as I watched them through a
window, wondering if they were having an affair.
I called my lawyer Carla, who advised, “Gather some concrete
evidence.” Lurking around, I saw Ben and Kate huddled over lunch and
papers. Convinced something was wrong, I snapped photos and called my
brother-in-law James. He said, “Julia, you need to come over here. Now.”
I confronted them, shouting, “You lying, cheating traitors!” Ben,
looking stunned, explained, “I took a vacation to work on a surprise for
you. You always talked about owning a coffee shop, right?” Kate showed
me the business plan and legal papers for the shop, revealing they were
planning my dream coffee shop.
Feeling relieved, I realized my mistake. Ben hugged me, saying, “I
love you. I would never betray you.” The next day, we signed the final
papers, and the coffee shop was ours. It became a place of love and
trust, a reminder that communication is key in a relationship.
Looking back, I learned the importance of trust. Misunderstandings
can happen, but it’s how we handle them that matters. Sometimes, those
secrets can turn into the most beautiful surprises of all.
