Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 232

Hunter let out a sarcastic smile, "The truth of the matter is that she was married before me, and my wedding was after her."

Emma was stumped, "Then how do I fit in? If you both were already hitched, why was I born?"

Hunter took a moment, seemingly in thought, then said, "I don't want to dredge up the past; it was all an accident, for which I paid a heavy price."

"Dad."

Hunter continued, "I don’t have any hope for your mom; some of her ideas can’t be changed. But you're young, soon to be a mom yourself. You can't completely listen to her, you must have your own opinions and do it yourself."

"Dad..." Emma seemed to disagree with Hunter's words.

"Don't bother denying it, I'm just reminding you, you have a long road ahead, I can't always be there for you. If you're so concerned about your child and are ready to give birth, you can't ignore these things. The Ramos family won't be that good to her, only you can truly care for her."

Tears welled up in Emma's eyes, she choked out, "Dad, why would you say that? Doesn't Jasmine still have you, her grandfather?"

"I can protect you for a while, but not you and the child forever." Hunter stepped forward, gently stroking Emma's hair.

Tears streamed down Emma's face, she looked up in disbelief at Hunter, this was his first time being so affectionate towards her. She whispered, "Dad."

"Emma, did you understand what I just said?"

Emma nodded, "I understood everything."

"Only with the Galeana Group, you have support, without it, you'll be in a world of trouble, do you get that?" Hunter looked at Emma seriously.

"I've always understood that." Because she understood, that was why she wanted to fight for it.

"I know you and your mom have always wanted the Galeana Group, but you don't get one thing: keeping what you have is harder than getting something new. The Galeana Group seems calm on the surface, but over the years it's been a big fish in the real estate pond, attracting a lot of jealousy. Many are just waiting for it to show a chink in the armor to strike it down."

This was news to Emma, she looked up at Hunter sharply, "Dad, is the company really in danger?"

"In a few months, you should stop going to the office, stay home and focus on giving birth. Your position will be kept for you. You can return whenever you want. If you don't like your position as director of public relations, and want to learn more, I can arrange for you to rotate positions. Of course, I won't put you in a director's position, you need more practice, that's my bottom line."

Hearing this, Emma's eyes lit up, "Can I really change my job?"

"Of course, you're a mother now, even for your child, you should become stronger. If you want to show your abilities, I'll give you the chance." Hunter nodded.

"Thank you, as long as you give me the chance and guide me, I won't let you down."

"Aiden is too weak, I hope after this time, you can let go of him a bit."

Thinking of this, Emma felt a bit heavy. During her convalescence in the hospital, he only visited her after work and hardly stayed.

Hunter patted her shoulder lightly, glanced at the time, and said, "Alright, it's late, you can't stay up late when you're pregnant, go back and rest early."

Emma was happy tonight, but also felt a bit uneasy.
