With that, she swiftly made her way to the kitchen.
Once there, she composed herself, cleared her throat, and pressed the answer button.
“Matthew, it’s quite late. Is everything okay? Why are you calling now?” she asked in a low voice.
“Are you alone at home right now?” Matthew asked straightforwardly.
Amara’s heart skipped a beat.
“Yes… Yes, of course. By the way, Matthew, can you give me some money tomorrow?”
“Didn’t I transfer you a hundred thousand dollars just recently? Have you already spent it all?” Matthew’s tone remained calm as he spoke.
Amara faltered, caught off guard by Matthew’s query. Her mind raced, but words failed her.
Matthew decided to address the situation directly.
“Mom, I know about the man you’ve been seeing recently…”
“Matthew, let me explain…” Amara hadn’t anticipated her secret to be revealed so soon. She was flustered.
“I’m not accusing you,” Matthew responded, his voice devoid of emotion.

“I have no issue with your relationship. But you need to know that Wilbert is not a good man. You should end things with him as soon as possible.”
“End things?” Amara’s voice spiked with disbelief.
“That’s out of the question! I won’t leave Wilbert.”
She had found what she believed was true love; she couldn’t just let it go.
“Mom, I’m saying this for your sake. Wilbert doesn’t deserve to be with you,” Matthew insisted, hoping to reason with his mother.
“Enough!” Amara interjected, her voice laced with frustration.
“If you won’t give me the money, that’s fine. But I’m your mother, and you have no right to dictate my personal life.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Amara felt a lump in her stomach, her hand trembling as she gripped her phone.
She inhaled deeply, trying to steady her rapid breathing.
“What happened? Who was on the phone? Why are you so upset?” Wilbert asked as he entered the kitchen, having overheard part of the conversation from the living room. It seemed someone was attempting to convince Amara to break up with him.
Amara quickly composed herself when she saw Wilbert approaching her.
