Chapter 63 High Hopes

• EMMA’s POV :
• To say that dinner at my parent’s house was awkward would be a gross understatement.
• Ian and I reached the house at around dinnertime. Mom opened the door as we rang the bell, and though I hadn’t seen her in months, she still acted cold and indifferent towards me. But underneath the cold exterior, I could tell that she was feeling hurt. She felt betrayed that I had been covering up things about Ian and me and she believed that she was protecting me by disapproving of my relationship with Ian.
