The girls went to the playground, and the adults could finally speak.“Hello, I’m Henry. It’s nice to meet you,” Henry said, shaking Wendy’s hand. They sat down at one of the booths and talked some more. She repeated the sentiment. “Wow, I just can’t believe it. I’ve read of counterparts, but this has to be something else,” Wendy commented as they watched the girls playing.“What do you mean?” “Well, Sandra doesn’t know this yet, but I adopted her.

But is there any chance your late ex-wife had twins?”“I don’t… I wasn’t there with her because of business. But no. It can’t be. I returned a week after she gave birth. She had already left the hospital, and I met Sophie in her home.
