A Mother’s Love and a Hard Lesson
A Surprise Visit
One day, I decided to surprise my son, John, by visiting his restaurant. Dressed in a simple, neat outfit, I entered with excitement. As I sat down to enjoy a cup of tea, an arrogant woman approached me. She demanded I move, claiming my attire was unsuitable for the reserved table. Feeling humiliated, I quietly left.
A Shocking Introduction
The next day, John introduced his fiancée, Sarah. To my shock, it was the same woman who had insulted me. I had always lived frugally, saving every penny for John’s education and future, raising him alone in a modest home.
A Tense Lunch
During our lunch, Sarah remained smug and condescending. John then asked if I could lend Sarah money to open a café. I hesitated, recalling her rude behavior. When I voiced my concerns, John grew frustrated, accusing me of making excuses.
A Difficult Decision
Sarah, sensing the tension, issued an ultimatum: it was either her or me. Heartbroken, John chose Sarah and they left together. I hoped he would see the truth before it was too late.
The Café Opening
A month later, I received an invitation to the café’s opening. Deciding to attend, I arrived dressed carefully and greeted John warmly. During the celebration, I asked Sarah to talk outside. As she boasted about her plans, her true colors emerged. Unknown to her, I had set up a recorder, broadcasting her words to the crowd inside.
The Revelation
John was shocked and humiliated by Sarah’s revelation. She tried to justify herself, but the damage was done. A few days later, John invited me to dinner at his restaurant. He apologized, acknowledging his mistakes and ending his relationship with Sarah.
A New Beginning
Despite losing the money, John learned a hard lesson. Surrounded by friends and family, we enjoyed the evening, knowing John had grown stronger and wiser from the experience.
