The room became very quiet. Just too quiet. Jian Ehuang could not find the right words to say to her son.
"Jian Ying dear…! Um...why don't you rest for now and then later, you can continue, hm?"
Jian Ehuang tried coaxing her son. She understood what he meant by "finish our project at hand"
"Mother…? You know I'm a very busy person. I don't have the time to waste! Please leave mother!"
He said to his mother.
"Mother...no! You...you can't leave me mother! I...I want you to stay here with me...boohoo..." She burst into tears again.
"Shhh... it's alright dear. Don't cry, ok?"
"Don't worry mother, I'll take very good care of my wife, and make sure to teach her well"
He said to his mother while leading her to the door.
"I'll have to leave now dear. Mother will come back whenever you are done with…"
She could not finish her statement.
