Chapter 0222
Emma.
“I don’t know what to do, Molly,” I tell her, almost in tears. “They’re so mad at me right now.”
Mom and Travis have refused to pick up my calls or even talk to me. After the disaster at the get- together, I haven’t seen them or talked to them.
Travis ignored me, and mom kicked me out of the house the moment the small function was over. It had been awkward as hell. Absolutely no one talked to me. It was like I didn’t exist. Was this how Ava felt in
the past? It fucking stinks.
“I kept telling you to tell them the truth, but you never listened.” Molly’s voice brings me back to the
present.
She was right. Every time she mentioned that topic, I would shut it down before she even got a word out. The moment I learned of my pregnancy, she begged me to tell them, but I refused. She’s been trying for
I the past eight years. It never worked because I never listened to her. Sometimes I would even get mad. We would argue and then end up not talking for days.
“I know,” I whisper tiredly.
I haven’t been able to sleep. I had so much going on in my head that it was difficult for me to find peace
and sleep.
“No, you don’t. I don’t think you understand the kind of pain you’ve caused not only your family but also Gunner and Calvin. A child is a blessing, yet you treated yours like he was an omen. You hid his existence.
like he was nothing. I still don’t understand why you did that or how you managed to do it in the first place.
It was easy, honestly. I didn’t want a child in the first place. It was so easy to continue as if he didn’t exist
and to forget about him because I never wanted him. People give up their babies every day, so I don’t
know why everyone is all up in my ass because of Gunner.
1 don’t need a lecture, Molly. I need a solution on how to make my family forgive me so we can forget about everything and move on,” I ground out through clenched teeth.
“Do you even fucking hear yourself? You don’t want a lecture, but that’s exactly what you’re getting.” she firen back. I’ve supported you in a lot of things, but you know Gunner and Cal are the only ones with Whom I never agreed to what you were doing to them. You’re my friend and I’m going to call you out and any that you’re a nasty bitch for how you’ve been treating your own son.”
You know very well I never wanted him. Molly. I was only ever supposed to carry Rowan’s child. No one
Why couldn’t they just fucking understand? Is it a must that I love Gunner simply because I brought him into this world? It’s not his choice that he was born, and it’s not my fault that I feel the way I feel about
him.
“Well, guess what? Your precious Rowan has a child with someone else, and from the looks of things, he’s not planning on having any kind of relationship with you, meaning your dream of having a family with him will remain nothing more than just a damn dream.” she snaps.
I deflate immediately. Rowan wants nothing to do with me, more so now that he knows about Gunner.
Ava
va has managed to make me look like the devil to her angel. She’s the caring and loving mother, while I’m the evil bitch who doesn’t want her own son. She has managed to ruin my perfect image. Why couldn’t
she just keep her mouth shut?
“I love you, Emma, with all my heart, but I am glad that Ava exposed the truth. It’s time for you to
grow up
and take responsibility. Gunner needs his mother. You’ve tried running away from this for a long time. It’s
time for you to stop and do what you’re supposed to do. It’s time you acknowledge that you’re a mother”
