Linda was sure she had always been a good parent to her son. He was going to marry a nice girl soon, and they had already made plans to start a business together. But the maid of honor’s speech was going to ruin her son’s reputation. Being a good mother has always been important to me. I really tried not to be a hover mom or one of those annoying “boy moms” you see on the internet these days…

I taught him to be polite to women, old people, and weak people, and he turned out to be a real gentleman. So, when my son Connor came home with his girlfriend Carrie, I was happy to see her. How could they have known that their wedding would go wrong? Without a doubt, I looked around. It looked like she was a normal girl.

She drove an old, cheap car and took the bus when it broke down. She didn’t ask my son for expensive presents, and the gifts she gave us were always nice but never expensive. It was because she was good at saving money that I knew she would sometimes treat herself to a spa weekend or a fancy meal. After all, don’t you think every girl should treat herself once in a while?

I was shocked when, when we got to where we were meeting her parents, a fancy car was waiting for us! It turned out that her dad ran a well-known building business, which meant that the family had a lot of money to spend. When I asked them why their daughter lived in such a simple way, her mother told me that they had agreed to that. They wouldn’t pay for her daily costs, but they would help her start her own business if she ever chose to.

Of course, they would pay for the wedding of their dreams for their daughter.I saw Connor’s eyes light up as Carrie said she didn’t have a business plan lined up yet. As far back as he can remember, he wanted to start a tech company. But we never had the money for it, and he had no luck with grants, so he saw this as a great chance.

Carrie agreed with his idea as soon as he told her about it on the way back. They talked about it all the time, and I was happy to see them making plans for their business as a soon-to-be family. Carrie even suggested that they meet with investors right after the wedding. I wish I had known it would all end soon.

As the wedding got closer, I saw that Carrie was acting differently. She worked hard to meet my son’s standards for their business, but I could tell she was having a hard time. When I asked her if there was a problem, she told me not to worry. To be honest, I’ve also thought about the possibility that she might be pregnant. My first thought was that she might be having family problems or a small fight with Connor.

But I chose to remain silent for some time and allow the kids to handle things on their own.Carrie seemed very nervous on the day of the wedding, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. She was getting married, and her dad had invited a lot of important people. Who wouldn’t be nervous? As she walked to her place at the table, nodded, and took the compliments, I saw Susan, her maid of honor, talking to Connor about something.

I was shocked to see that they were clearly having a heated fight, but I knew I shouldn’t get in the way. In my heart, I knew that something bad was about to happen. At the end of the toasts, there was silence in the room as the maid of honor raised her glass. She had the face of someone who knows they are going to die soon. She started her speech with the usual “thank yous” and “nice to meet you”s, and then she dropped the bomb.

“Hi, Carrie. For many years, you’ve been my best friend. I’m afraid I can’t say the same thing about myself. It’s time for this to end. “Connor and I have been seeing each other for months!”People stopped talking and looked at the bride. Everyone was shocked when she let out a loud, almost evil laugh. “Wow, Susie,” was all she could say. “Thank God you were able to talk about it. I thought I would have to talk myself!”

“You see,” she said as she got up and walked toward Susan, “the way you looked at each other told me I couldn’t trust you two.” I put hidden cams around the house because of this. What do you think I saw? There are two lovebirds in my love nest!”It was her job to take the microphone from Susan. “Thanks to my dad, we were able to write up a nice prenup and my fiancé signed it without reading it.”

Should you be interested in what you signed, cheating will leave you with nothing to your name!”Guys, don’t worry! I put a laxative that works slowly in your cake pieces! “You jerks, enjoy your first night together!” This caused so much chaos that it can only be called a tidal wave. When people went to the bathroom, they spit out the cake.

The bride and her family watched from a distance. Carrie saw that I was lost and reached out to take my hand. “Don’t be scared, Mrs. Green. I’ve always liked you. You can eat the cake without worrying. When I left the wedding hall that day, I was completely broken. One thing was certain for me: I didn’t think I knew the man I raised.
