Not One, But Two!

Chapter 258

Seeing Emma crying one second but laughing the next made Sasha worried.

"Emma, I know you hate me because of this, but I don't have much choice. Listen to me. Come with me, okay? I'll pamper you in the future and support whatever you want to do, alright?"

Sasha's tone was as gentle as she usually spoke, but it did not sound as such to Emma—she found it as terrifying as poison.

"You're not my mom!"

Sasha was stunned upon hearing Emma's words. "What kind of nonsense is that?"

"My mom wouldn't betray me because of her grudges. My mom wouldn't hide away on her alone when I needed her the most and made me face the crazy world alone! You're not my mother!" Emma cried heartbreakingly.

She was in her twenties. She took her sister's boyfriend away by force, but the man found her worthless and just left her. She took away all her father's love, leaving none for her sister, but her mother betrayed her in the end. Am I such an evil woman that the heavens are punishing me too? That's why Abigail hates me, right?

All of a sudden, Emma felt cold and alone. Their faces were the only similarity between her and the woman before her, but to Emma, Sasha was a monster and not her mother.

Emma's words provoked Sasha and before she knew it, she had already slapped Emma, which she regretted instantly.

"Emma, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I had to hide because someone was looking for me. They wanted to kill me, so I did not have a choice."

Emma was awakened completely by Sasha's slap. Looking at Sasha, her eyes gradually became teary, but she said firmly, "I'm not going to leave with you! My home and family are here, so this is where I'll be!"

"What family do you have here? I am your only family!" Sasha felt that her daughter had changed, and it made her upset. It's only been a couple of days, but why did she change so much?

In response to that, Emma said and emphasized each word, "I have my dad and my sister here. I'm not going anywhere when they're here."

Sasha was taken aback. "What did you say? Are you crazy? You took Abigail's boyfriend away from her five years ago, and even now, you keep finding fault with her! Do you think she will take you as her sister?"

"She will!" Emma raised her voice suddenly.

There was never a moment in Emma's life where she acknowledged Abigail as her sister as much as she did right now.

Emma continued, "When I was at my lowest, she was the one who took me in. When she found out that Jonathan had tarnished my name, she got back at him for doing so without any hesitation, which even cost him his entire family's wealth and status. She was the one who taught me self-care and how to cook as well. She was the one who taught me that I should find ways to solve a problem instead of crying when I'm met with one because tears wouldn't help with the situation. Although she dislikes me, she never left me."

Each and every word of hers hurt Sasha like a knife that was slicing through her heart. "I see how it is now. I'm the one who brought you up, but you've switched to Abigail's side in just a few days. She's indeed something! You're such an idiot! If you trust her blindly, you won't even realize it when she betrays you one day."

"I don't care. Even though she might betray me, I still want to be by her side."
