Mother-in-law Humiliated Her Small-town Daughter-in-law At A Family Celebration, But When She Heard…
After his mother’s words Spencer’s face changed and Vanessa immediately realized that she said too much.
“Mom I love Judy very much and I intend to marry her,” the man answered in a tone that broke no objections.
Suspicion and the Birthday Celebration
Mrs. Robinson hasn’t seen so much enthusiasm in her son’s eyes in such a long time, especially when it came to marriage. Vanessa knew her son too well to doubt his intentions to get married.
Nevertheless, the woman wasn’t going to give up so easily and wanting to get to know her future daughter-in-law’s story in more detail, made inquiries about her. As it turned out, Judy Morgan grew up on her father’s farm in Ohio.
The woman never knew her mother because she died during childbirth. There were virtually no prospects in her hometown for Judy so she decided to move to the city of her dreams, New York.
The character references from the woman’s workplace turned out to be quite flattering and even pleased Vanessa Robinson who appreciated her diligence and dedication. Only one fact from Judy’s biography upset her future mother-in-law and immersed her in sad thoughts.
The fact was that a surgeon who worked with Judy in the same clinic had been quitting her for a long time. According to eyewitnesses, Judy usually ignored the young doctor’s signs of attention and stopped any of his attempts to get closer to her.
But for Vanessa Robinson that was of little consolation. Having gotten caught up in her son’s excitement over the upcoming wedding, the woman decided not to tell him about her suspicions for the time being.
All right let him marry her if he wants to and if she’s cheating on her it won’t stay secret forever, Mrs. Robinson thought to herself. Spencer and Judy soon held a small wedding ceremony which surprised the Robinson family guests.
What did Spencer even see in this small town Judy, the man’s university friends wondered. The newlyweds were madly in love with each other.
They did their best to ignore the condemning looks of their acquaintances and enjoy each other’s company and every day they got to spend together. Five months flew by, bringing Vanessa Robinson’s 65th birthday closer with each day.
In honor of this occasion, the woman decided to hold an elaborate celebration to which she invited all her relatives, colleagues, and acquaintances. Live music sounded in the courtyard and the waiters deftly maneuvered between the tables where the guests were sitting.
Spencer attended the party with Judy who became the object of everyone’s ridicule thanks to Mrs. Robinson. Despite the fact that the daughter-in-law gave Vanessa a modest gift, Vanessa Robinson still remained unhappy with her.
Meanwhile the young woman also smiled mysteriously and hinted to her that it was all part of the gift. But when at the height of the celebration Judy got up from the table and, having taken the mic, announced that she was pregnant, Vanessa Robinson experienced an inexplicable attack of anger and resentment.
Her reaction was partly caused by quite a few cocktails she had within just one hour and partly by the thought that Judy could be having an affair with the surgeon at the clinic. She must have gotten pregnant by that surgeon and now she’s trying to make a fool out of my son, thought the woman whose judgment was clouded by all the alcohol she drunk.
Having a difficult time controlling her emotions, Vanessa asked the waiter to hand her the microphone in order to make an important announcement.
“Are you sure Judy that Spencer is the father of your child?” the woman said with an emphasis on the last word.
The Truth That Changed Everything
Needless to say, the question asked by the tipsy birthday woman caused quite a stir among the guests. Judy’s eyes welled up with tears which immediately started running down her cheeks that were blushing with shame.
The poor woman couldn’t even comprehend how or why her mother-in-law would ask her something like that. Unable to stop crying, Judy took Spencer by the hand and left the celebration which Vanessa had turned into a farce with her baseless accusations.
At about that time the woman of the day started feeling remorse for what she had done, but it was already too late. Meanwhile the guests realized that the festivities had come to an end and started getting ready to go home.
Vanessa Robinson was left alone with the bitter aftertaste caused by her unseemly behavior during the celebration. Sure, Vanessa tried calling her son to apologize for everything that had happened, but his cell phone was already turned off.
Well it’s your choice son, whispered Mrs. Robinson with a sad sigh. To her great surprise, Spencer came to see her two days after the ill-fated party.
“I don’t believe a single word you said at the party mom,” her son said trembling with tension.
In response to this, Vanessa Robinson simply shook her head and told her son everything she had learned about Judy at the clinic.
“It’s all lies mom, there’s a lot you don’t know. Judy saved me. I was living a wild life back then so one night I got so drunk that I nearly died of hypothermia. Tons of people passed by me and Judy was the only one who decided to help,” Spencer said stammering on every word.
Looking into her son’s feverishly burning eyes, Mrs. Robinson realized that he was telling the truth. At that moment Vanessa’s mind seemed to have finally cleared up and she finally realized how wrong she was in her opinion of her daughter-in-law.
As it turned out it was Judy Morgan who pulled her son out of the wildlife he’d been living during his college years. At the same time the woman wasn’t at all eager to marry Spencer and wanted only one thing: to help him and protect him from making terrible mistakes.
Their romantic relationship started much later when Spencer finally gave up alcohol and looked at Judy in a completely different light. And even now, after the horrendous accusations of her mother-in-law, the woman continued to love her husband as she truly believed that they were meant to be together.
After talking to Spencer, Vanessa Robinson plucked up her courage, took control of her pride, and went to see Judy in order to apologize. Fortunately Judy was a very understanding woman, thus having hugged her mother-in-law she simply cried softly in response.
Vanessa Robinson couldn’t hold back her tears when she learned that the ultrasound showed that Spencer and Judy were having twins. For the soon-to-be grandma it meant only one thing: her house will soon be filled with cheerful childish laughter once again.
