My head was throbbing after all that talk. I didn't quite like her and let alone call her 'mom'. My life is utterly miserable when she is around. I quite couldn't place it why dad who was such a sweet person, would actually like someone of her kind.  

She is never going to be that person whom I can depend upon. Never.

This is too short but Emma's reason for her odd behaviour will be revealed in the coming chapters. Happy late New Year!
