Chapitre 1: Chapter 1: Emma
"Emma, you're no longer young but already thirty; I think you are old enough and should find yourself a man to rely on."
Listening to the conversation, an average person would feel it's a good mother worrying for her daughter while a person with deep thoughts would just feel an incompetent mother brainwashing her daughter.
In fact, Emma, the thirty-year-old woman, thought like this: after all, this so-called mother abandoned her when she was five years old at the hands of her abominable father, and now, she is here like a good mother, what an irony.
She didn't even know what she hoped coming here, maybe deep down, she was that five years old girl who longed for the love of her parents, especially for her mother, but now, it's just a wish in the end.
But after all, she is a thirty-year-old teacher; having managed many children over the past few years, she has learned to control her emotions.
She said: "I don't need a man to rely on. I've done just fine on my own for so long."
I don't know if her mother didn't understand what Emma was implying or was just playing the dumb but she said: "Oh, darling, you're still so stubborn. You may think you've done well, but no woman can truly succeed without a man by her side. It's just how the world works."
"I have already worked the path you walked but chose the wrong man; as my daughter, I don't want you to make the same mistake as me."
'Mistake, huh?' Emma couldn't help but smile wryly; maybe in her mother's mind, she was also a mistake resulting from a mistake.
She remembers clearly when she was five years old, her parents divorced, and her mother didn't fight for her custody because the new man she found didn't want her to come with a child.
At that time, she didn't understand much; she was just hit by her alcoholic father every time he felt it; she shed tears and was sleepless every night, wondering when her mother, whom she had relied on since her birth, would come and save her from this suffering.
It was just her illusion, it seems because her dear mother considered her a mistake in her life.
Emma understood she couldn't continue playing the plain girl if she wanted peace; she said with some coldness in her tone: "I didn't come here for a lecture, and you have no right to tell me how to live my life."
Sophia, Emma's mother was surprised by her daughter's sudden coldness.
Truth be told, she didn't even want to be here; it was only because of some 47-year-old CEO who loved her daughter coming to her and her ex-husband, giving them €1M each as long as they convinced Emma to marry him.
For her ex-husband, it was basically impossible because Emma had completely her relationship with him after becoming major; Sophie was the one with the most chance since Emma hadn't completely cut contact with her because she showed her some love when she was young and saw her again when Emma was 12 years old.
Sophie no longer maintained her good face but switched to an ordering tone: "I'm doing what is best for you and have already found you a husband, Emma. One day, you'll understand."
If it was someone else, maybe she would try negotiating, arguing, or something like that, but Emma didn't want to waste her time with so much nonsense.
She stood, pushing her chair back, without replying or saying anything but cleanly taking her little back and left.
Once outside, Emma was no longer as straight as she kept her face, but her eyes were becoming red and a little moist.
No matter what excuse she wanted to find for her mother, who left her alone, it no longer matters now; in the end, her relationship with her family is just a waste of time.
When she was controlled by her emotions, she made the mistake that she told children so many times not to do: she crossed the street without looking at what was coming.
It was at this time that she heard some sort of car braking very hard; she raised her head and saw a truck coming straight to her body; despite the driver braking, it really didn't help much.
'Hope Truck-Kun could help me reincarnate in a much better world.', this was her last thought; she have read so many novels in the past few years to know what's truck kun, the GOAT.
