Not Invited to My Son's Wedding
There was no way it could be him.
My phone's chat screen still showed the transfer record for the money I had sent Brandon this morning.
Brandon had written, "Mom, I'm treating an important friend to dinner today. Transfer me 30 thousand dollars. Also, stay at the staff dorm tonight and don't come home. I'm inviting my friend to stay over."
Brandon did have a girlfriend, but he had never mentioned getting married. If he were really getting married, how could he possibly keep it from me?
I searched around the banquet hall but didn't spot the groom anywhere. In the end, I walked to a quiet corner, took out my phone, and called Brandon. The line had barely rung before he hung up.
