Brandon got angry and started yelling back at his wife. «What nonsense is this? How can you talk about my mom like that? She and dad have been living together for almost 30 years. And everything’s fine with them.»
But Ashley wouldn’t back down. In the end, the husband agreed. Now, when his emotions settled, he understood that in principle, his wife had the right to this.
