The next morning, Gabriel got ready before Amelie woke up. As he went into the kitchen to tell the chief cook what should be prepared in the breakfast, he found his mother near the counter.
The entire kitchen was empty, making him realise that his mother had something to do with it.
"I told you not to do this. Last night, for Amelie's sake I ate the dinner you prepared. What do you want to prove with all of this? That you love me, that you always cared for me, that you are sorry for me. I get it you helped me by telling the truth to Carlos, but that doesn't mean that I will bear your sight here. Your second son is going to marry after three days or so. Shouldn't you be there, Mom?"
Gabriel kept his tone as soft as he could but he was still unable to hold the sting he felt at that moment.
