Mother Dearest

Summary

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.
