My One and Only Wife

When they entered the room, they were immediately greeted by Edward's furious mother, who immediately beat him.

"How dare you to bring a woman here? Your grandfather is still ill, yet you still do it.I let you bring that woman in here yesterday, and now you've brought her back." His mother said this as she smacked him on the arm.

"Mom, wait let me explain! Ouch, Mom!" Edward yelled as his mother continued her assault.

"How will you explain that you have cheated on your wife? You did not feel ashamed in front of your Grandpa while bringing that woman here!" She pointed to Ivy, who stood in the doorway as if she didn't care what was going on around her.

"Mom, she's Ivy!" Edward elaborated.

"I don't care what her name is! All I know is that you ungrateful brat did nothing but hurt your wife, hence why she left you." This time she already pulled Edward's hair out of sheer rage.

Ivy just ignores their barking as she walks straight to the bed where her grandfather is lying.

"How are you, Paps?" She greeted the old guy who is still asleep. She has grown accustomed to witnessing the conflict between mother and son so she doesn't pay much attention to it.

"Baby, please help me explain it to Mom!" Edward begged for assistance.

"What exactly do you need to explain? You're obviously having an affair behind your wife's back!"

"Mom, how can I have an affair when she is clearly my wife!" Edward's yell pissed off at all his mother's accusations.

"Do not mess with me because I know who your wife is!" Eden responded by pulling Edward's left ear.

"Mom, stop it! It is embarrassing! You are turning me into a child!" Edward was displeased.

"You don't want me to treat you like a child but you always act like one. Your wife would not have left you if you had been more mature."

"I know, that is why I want to patch things up with her now that she's returned!" Edward responded as he runs to his mother gasp and approached Ivy, who was busy wiping their Grandfather's hand.

"Are you saying Ivy is back?" Eden was puzzled by Edward's revelation.

When she called his son's house earlier, she found out that he had brought home a woman named Ivy as well. She didn't ask Lydia properly because her head immediately exploded from what she heard. So now she is bewildered when he says that his wife has returned. Because, if she looks closely the woman with him is nothing like his wife Ivy whom she knows. So it is impossible that this is Ivy.

"Baby please help me explain!" Ivy just ignores him as she doesn't hear anything and continued what she is doing.

"Don't you feel sorry for me, Mommy beat me up. I already lost my hair because of her pull. Then my ears have already turned red oh, look! the same goes for my arm and face." Edward begs his circumstances in front of Ivy. Asking for sympathy.

"What Mom did to you isn't enough for me. If I get the chance, I'd like to cut your dick so you won't be able to flirt with any woman out there!" Ivy threatened in hushed tones because when they entered the hospital all the nurses they met smiled at Edward, who keeps his flirtatious attitude.

"Look at what you did Mom. Ivy thinks that I had a woman. You are entirely to blame if my wife abandons me again." Edward turned to look at his mother, who was still perplexed by the situation.

"Why me?"

"Because you keep on telling that I had a woman, while I was still loyal to her even though she is away for two years," Edward explained why he blames her mother.

"How dare you blame me for your mistake?" Mommy Eden was enraged once more as she smacked Edward.

"Baby, please help!" Edward shouted while covering his head.

"Do you want me to help Mom to beat you?" Ivy responded as she pushed Edward away from her and she wouldn't be affected by Edward's Mommy's beating.

"What did you call me?" Eden was taken aback when she heard Ivy's way of addressing her.

"She called you Mom because she is your daughter-in-law!" Edward answered as he hugged Ivy's thin waist to shield her from his mother's outburst.

"How? Are you two married?" Her eyes widened as she realized her son married another woman behind her back.

"Of course we married!" Edward answered proudly.

"You bastard!" Eden shouted ready to strike again but this time she picks the broom near the door because her hand already hurt in hitting Edward.

"Mom, she's Ivy the one I married three years ago and she just returned yesterday so stop that!" Edward explained in fear as he hugged Ivy to protect her from her mother's wrath.

"What exactly are you saying? Explained clearly!"

"As I told you she is Ivy, your daughter-in-law. She just returned yesterday so you don't need to be angry or say some non-sense because she is my one and only wife."

"She is Ivy?" Eden could not believe what she heard which is why she asked again.

"The one and only!"

"Are you certain? Maybe you're playing a joke on me!"

"Mom, how can you say that? I am telling the truth, if you don't believe it is up to you but I'm telling you this is Ivy so stop your blabbering."

"Who is speaking erroneously?" His mother asked as the broom was about to hit Edward again.

"Mom, Ivy is scared so stop what you are doing and lower the one you're holding."

"Okay fine!" Eden responded by putting down the broom where it had been.

"You two, take a seat here!" Eden shouted again as she called them to sit in front of her for further discussion. The two did nothing but follow her order to avoid further conflict.

"Is it true what my son is saying that you are really Ivy?"

"Yes Mon, It is me!" Ivy answered because if Edward answers, his mother still doesn't seem to believe.
