Mother Dearest
Language: en
On the eve of my engagement to my boyfriend, my mom suddenly called me. "I have something to do on the day of your engagement party. I probably can't make it." After she spoke, she waited for my reply. I was silent for a moment. "That's fine. You're not needed for the wedding either. I'm the main character; that's enough." I knew she wanted me to panic. She wanted me to beg her. What parent wouldn't show up for their child's biggest life event? Wouldn't that make her a laughingstock? But I didn't want to play her game. I hung up the phone decisively. She wouldn't be able to sit still.
