"You..."
"Mother Atkinson called me here today just to warn me to stay away from Gem Atkinson. Rest assured, the reason I approach Gem is for business, and I would never approach him for personal reasons. As for your concerns about whether Gem and I might rekindle our past feelings, you needn't worry about that. Both Gem and I are not the kind who would eat the grass behind us. If you, Mother Atkinson, don't understand me, that's one thing. But surely you don't misunderstand your own son, do you?"
There's not a single thing about her son she doesn't understand. His love is intense and so is his hatred. In all these five years, he hadn't so much as glanced at Forsythia. That must be because of the bitterness between them, especially that eternal lamp in the Buddha Light Temple... It's like a thorn in his heart that can never be removed.
