The mother-in-law jumped with a DNA test… The daughter-in-law’s answer left all the guests stunned

No matter how hard she tried to tear them apart, that old viper wouldn’t succeed. Six months later, despite Elizabeth Andrea’s objections, the young couple tied the knot. Standing in a voluminous white wedding gown, Maria was overjoyed, doing her best to ignore the scorching glares from her new mother-in-law.

As guests raised their glasses to toast the newlyweds, the groom’s mother stood with a flute of champagne and declared, “I wish you happiness, son. I sincerely hope that, despite your choice, you’ll come to recognize true love.” Guests whispered among themselves, puzzled by her cryptic words, but the jovial wedding emcee swiftly turned it into a lighthearted jest.

After an exhilarating and unforgettable wedding celebration, Maria and her husband moved into a three-bedroom apartment, a cherished family heirloom. The apartment had once belonged to Ethan’s grandmother, who had gifted it to her beloved grandson during her lifetime. Now, this cozy space became their shared home, where they began to build their family nest.

Day by day, the apartment filled with warmth and comfort, its walls adorned with shared photos, every corner infused with love and care. Maria and Ethan poured their hearts into transforming the space into a true home, where every detail reflected their happiness. A year later, their lives gained new meaning when Maria gave birth to their first child.

It was a thrilling moment for the young family, and Ethan, brimming with joy and pride, suggested naming their son Liam, in honor of his late grandfather, a name that held deep significance for him. Maria eagerly agreed, as she adored the name Liam, even recalling a favorite college professor who shared it.

Overhearing this, her mother-in-law smirked wickedly and, as was her habit, pulled Ethan into the kitchen to whisper venomous words. “Your Maria definitely cheated and got pregnant by that professor, I’m telling you, son!” she hissed. “It’s no coincidence she loves that name so much. Did you see how she smiled, talking about that man? It’s plain as day. You’d better be cautious, son. If I were you, I’d check if that child is even yours, or you’ll soon be wearing horns that hit the ceiling.”

“Mom, have you lost your mind?” Ethan gasped, stunned by her words. “How can you even say that? That’s your own grandson! My wife is faithful, and I don’t doubt her.” Offended by her son’s disbelief, Elizabeth Andrea spat back, “We’ll see if he’s my grandson. You’ll remember my words when you suffer with that red-lipped tramp.”

Time moved forward at its quiet pace, and the young family built their life in love and harmony. The couple raised their son, surrounding him with warmth and affection.

Yet, their bliss had one persistent thorn: Elizabeth Andrea could not accept her son’s choice. Determined to break up the newlyweds, she stopped at nothing, no matter how petty.

She began her schemes by trying to undermine Maria’s skills as a homemaker. She frequently visited the couple under the guise of helping or catching up, but her visits always brought trouble. One day, while Maria was cooking lunch, her mother-in-law secretly oversalted the soup, rendering it inedible. Another time, when Maria decided to treat the family to a homemade sponge cake, Elizabeth Andrea slyly opened the oven mid-bake, causing a complete disaster. Maria took each failure to heart.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Andrea smugly spread word to anyone who’d listen that her daughter-in-law couldn’t keep a house or cook. Yet, despite all her mother-in-law’s attempts to sabotage their bond, the newlyweds continued to love and support each other. They understood that true family harmony wasn’t built on culinary prowess but on mutual respect and understanding.

But one event nearly jeopardized their marriage, and though her mother-in-law wasn’t directly to blame, the consequences were severe. Maria was soon to attend her high school reunion.

Ten years had passed since graduation, and she was eager to catch up with her old classmates and hear about their lives. The reunion was agreed to be a no-spouses event, so Ethan took time off work to stay home with little Liam. The evening unfolded at a restaurant, and Maria returned home late, cheerful, slightly tipsy, and well past midnight.
