A Daughter’s Unintended Surprise

My mom gave up everything to raise me after my dad left. Determined to do something nice for her, I decided to set her up on a dating app. But finding her with my boss was something I didn’t expect!

A New Beginning

I’m Lucy, 23, and my mom, Phoebe, is 56. After years of being alone, I convinced her to try online dating. “You deserve to find happiness too,” I told her while helping her create a Tinder profile.

The Unexpected Discovery

The next day at work, my friend Natalie noticed our boss Michael acting unusually cheerful, constantly checking his phone. Intrigued, we investigated and discovered he was chatting with my mom! They had a date planned for that evening.

Sabotage and Regret

Panicking, I tried to prevent the date by sabotaging Michael’s work. I spilled coffee on his laptop, but guilt soon overwhelmed me. Realizing my selfishness, I knew I had to fix things.

Coming Clean

That evening, I confessed to both my mom and Michael. “I panicked and only thought about myself,” I admitted, tearfully explaining my actions.

Moving Forward

Understanding my mistake, I encouraged them to pursue their happiness. Phoebe invited Michael in for dinner, and I left, feeling lighter. Love knows no age, and I learned that my mom’s happiness is what truly matters.

“Love knows no age!” I told my mom, encouraging her to try online dating. Little did I expect she’d match with my boss! My panic led to some sabotage, but honesty and understanding brought us closer.
