There is a strange man who often sends flowers to his house, I thought he was flirting, and I thought that the envelope containing 10 million VND revealed the truth.

As I read the message sent in the envelope, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I am 27 years old this year, no lover, and have just experienced a few love that went nowhere in the past. However, this does not bother me. With a strong personality, I live a celibacy, prioritize loving myself, don’t need a man to “fill the void”.

However, my daughter was also of age, my mother kept urging me to get married quickly and give birth to children. She is from the previous generation, her thoughts are a bit old-fashioned. Before, when my father was still alive, he was definitely a psychological father to a daughter. Normally, when my mother urged me to get married, my father would just brush it off and say that now I need to travel a lot, take care of myself. Even so, my father even gave me money when my mother “bullied”. However, my father passed away too soon, could not wait for my filial piety, it was all because of a serious illness.

There is a younger brother below me who is in college this year. The family has 3 mothers and children sometimes sad. That is why my mother urged me to get married early so that we could have more a bridegroom, and furthermore, one of my grandchildren.

Although I do not actively seek for love, I also have a few dating apps installed on my phone. I have to say I have good looks, sharp eyes and a personality face, so many boys take the initiative to get acquainted with the text. Sometimes I just go to check and reply to someone’s messages that I find intrigued. Some boys texted me to go out, go on a date, but I was too lazy, didn’t want to carry my body out, even though I said my home address.

Lately, a strange man kept sending flowers to his house. A few days after I got home from work, my mother gave me a bouquet of flowers and spoke “There’s someone in front of my house here. No text, just flowers.”

Each week, about 1-2 bouquets of flowers will be sent flowers like that. Not a message, not a recipient’s address, all just a bare bouquet. I immediately “localize” a few people that I often text back and forth. But everyone denied giving flowers to me, even sarcasm “Many people like it so many people do not know what to give flowers now!”

I was really curious inside that couldn’t be helped. Find all the suspicious people and still find no confirmation. Bouquets of flowers are sent out around the time I go to work, but normally if I’m at home there won’t be any.

In the end, I came up with a way, but still quite unlucky. That is, I check the camera in the apartment where I live. It is difficult to get in, because only the security guard or someone on management can grant the permission. Fortunately, thanks to the “relationship” plus the smart mouth, I can also see who came to the house to give the bouquet.

It turns out, a man came to my mother, put on a mask, and said something to her. I don’t know if he was the owner of the bouquets or just the delivery man. I hid this story and did not rush to tell my mother.

However, shortly after, I discovered in the drawer of the mother’s room an envelope containing 10 million VND. Besides that, there is also a message attached “Dear me, I hope you and your children will live well”.

I really doubted that the envelope was attached to the bouquet. And if you send it to me, why “hope you and the children”? I continued to secretly look in my mother’s locker when she was not at home. At the bottom of the cupboard, many envelopes have similar content. Especially, the number of envelopes is equal to the number of bouquets I received.

At this point, I couldn’t stand it. My mother must have had an affair with another man and then lied that the bouquet he sent for me was to cover her eyes. When talking privately with her mother, she admitted. That because my father is dead, she feels lonely, empty, and needs to be filled with her thoughts. The man was rich, his wife also died, just wanting to provide more support for my mother’s life comfortably.

My mother said to understand her, but now I’m really empty, don’t know what to do to sympathize …
