A Man Caught His Wife Having an Affair with His ‘Golden’ Brother at Their Family’s Vacation Home — He Pretended Not to Know, but the Next Evening, They Showed Up at His Door, Shouting, ‘What the Hell Have You Done?!’

I stared at her.

“Did I tell him that?”

“No.”

“Did I tell you that?”

She lowered her gaze.

“No.”

“Then why are we discussing my marriage as if Kai is the person who gets to explain it?”

Dad pulled out a chair.

“You’re right.”

I sat down.

For a few minutes, nobody spoke.

Then I asked, “Do you remember my twenty-seventh birthday?”

Dad frowned.

“The cake?”

“Yes. The cake.”

Mom covered her face.

“We apologized for that.”

“I know. You sent me a gift card.”

She nodded.

“I brought a chocolate cake that night. I put it in your refrigerator while everyone celebrated Kai. Three hours later, I took it home unopened.”

Dad sat down opposite me.

“Why didn’t you tell us how much that hurt you?”

I stared at him.

“I did tell you. You were standing in the living room when I said it was my birthday.”
