Come With Me

I didn't look back. I was afraid that my heart would be softened again if I looked back.

My mother said to me sentimentally, "Jasmine, I know I did something wrong. I'm not a good mother. You can blame me or break off the relationship with me today. I can accept it."

"From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. I won't bother you any more."

There were some sobs in my mother's voice.

With tears in my eyes, I bit my lips and repeatedly told myself not to be soft-hearted. I must not be soft-hearted. This must be a trick of my mother.

"Jasmine, I won't stop you if you want to leave. But we don't have to end up like this. Let's have a meal together, as the last dinner."

"Don't worry. I won't bother you again after this meal. Even if I die, I won't ask you to collect my body,"

I clenched my fists and hesitated.

My mom walked in front of me from behind and said, "let's go. It's just a meal. You even don't want to have dinner with me?"

My mom was walking slowly with her head down. That look makes me feel a little pitiful somehow.

My heart softened at last, thinking that maybe I could have the most peaceful dinner with my mother.

That was my first time to visit a small and shabby dumpling restaurant.

I remembered clearly that day. My mother ordered two dishes of dumplings, a pot of pickles and a dish of peanuts.

She ordered a small bottle of white wine for herself and a drink for me.

My mother had drunk a few mouthfuls of white wine.

"Jasmine, look at me. I don't blame you for looking down on me. I know that no one respect me now."

"It's true that what I am now is because what I did, but I was younger and more beautiful than you were when I was young."

"But I was too young. I couldn't stand your father's sweet words and married him. At that time, I lived such a happy life with him and had children with him wholeheartedly, but..."
