Emma's talk with Mrs. Ronin

In the garden of Jarred's villa…

Emma and Mrs. Ronin sat on the bench which is overlooking a massive two-level fountain.

Emma stared at the water cascading from the upper level to the lower one while thinking from where to start.

"It seems that you have a lot on your mind.", Mrs. Ronin voiced her thoughts.

Emma looked at her mother and met her gaze.

"Is this about your wedding? Are you pregnant? Did something happen at the rehabilitation center? Or is Charlie mistreating you? Are you having second thoughts about marrying him?", Mrs. Ronin guessed.

Emma was slightly irritated. Why are most of her mom's questions implying that something is wrong on Emma's side? Does Mrs. Ronin think that nothing can go wrong with her?

Emma took a deep breath and said: "I know that dad is alive."
