Guests couldn’t stop admiring the hostess’s culinary talents. The dishes prepared by Ashley were truly beyond praise. Conversations at the table flowed easily and casually, until the topic of the class reunion that Ashley had attended not long ago came up.
Brandon, deciding to tease his wife a bit, brought up her school romance. He asked his wife with a smile if she met her ex-boyfriend there, the one she loved in school. Ashley blushed slightly but quickly composed herself.
And with a light smile replied that the reunion was wonderful, but the past remains in the past. Guests supported her, and the conversation smoothly shifted to other topics, leaving only a light aftertaste of nostalgia and fun. But the mother-in-law already sensed her chance…
Elizabeth with a satisfied smile called her son to the kitchen for a talk. The woman decided she definitely shouldn’t miss such an opportunity to catch her daughter-in-law in infidelity. «Son, tell me, has this classmate Ryan been living in our city all this time and never left?» Brandon, not understanding what his mother had in mind, replied, «Seems so.»
The mother, rubbing her hands with triumph in her voice, said, «Well, now everything’s clear to me. Jacob isn’t yours, but from that suitor of hers. No wonder she told you that.
So be prepared for the real dad of this child to show up soon.» From these words, Brandon’s jaw dropped. He wanted to object, but his mother gave him no chance.
Elizabeth reminded her son only. «You remember, son, how shortly before Ashley got pregnant, you had quarrels and scandals for a while. Remember how she lived at her mother’s for a few days? Forgot? And then, like a bolt from the blue, the news of her pregnancy.
Exactly during that period. And you didn’t divorce her precisely because of the child. And as a result, you reconciled.
Just look closer, Jacob doesn’t look like you at all.» The mother continued weaving intrigues and wouldn’t stop. After the talk with his mother, Brandon thought about it.
And then, when all the guests went home, he threw a terrible scandal at his wife. «So, dear, either we do a DNA test, or I’m divorcing you,» the husband demanded. Ashley couldn’t believe her ears.
How could he suggest such a thing to her? She burst into tears from offense. Then she calmed down, pulled herself together, and thought. «Fine, test it is.
She has nothing to fear or hide.» She replied to her husband challengingly. «Okay, dear, let’s do the DNA test.
But I have one condition. You must take this test too.» Brandon was simply shocked….
«What do you mean?» he asked his wife in surprise. «Then the wife explained everything. You need to take a test for kinship with your father.
What if your mom conceived you with someone else too? Usually, those who cheat themselves suspect others of it. It’s offensive somehow. You don’t believe me, but take her words as pure truth.»..
