"Emma, isn't Dean your son? Why is he siding with Claire? Why won't he stay with you, and instead chooses to be with her? What kind of mother are you?" Ronald Miler watched everything unfold, his face darkening by the second.
Being forced to apologize to his own daughter by a five-year-old grandson was already humiliating enough. Now the same child was blatantly disregarding his own mother? Unacceptable!
"I…" Emma glanced at Emily Oliver. Ronald had never known the truth about Dean's parentage. Emily shot her a look, and Emma bit out resentfully, "Dad, you don't understand. Claire was never able to accept being abandoned by Gilbert. She's come back now just to get close to Dean, she even became his home tutor. He's completely bewitched by her. Her real goal is to get back together with Gilbert and ruin my marriage plans. But Gilbert doesn't love her, he can't even stand to see her face."
