章 282: Second Chance

Diane released a breath. "Emily, I'm sorry." She paused. "It's been a month already, surely you can't be mad at me forever," she said in a frustrated tone.

"Emily please…"

"What do you want from me, mother? What is it that you want from me? For us to hug and pretend like you didn't do what you did?" Emily snapped.

"What I did was wrong, I know that and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the truth."
