Two Times the Charm

Chapter 54

“I’m not scared of seeing you, it’s just.. I’m dressed super casual for the late night and didn’t expect to see you this late, so…”

“I don’t mind.”

“Alright then, let’s meet at the company entrance!

After saying that Emmett hung up the phone and hopped in his car to head to the company.

Left with no choice, Clara had to bid her son a reluctant farewell.

“Aiden, mommy will come visit you again!”

“It’s okay, I can sneak out to see you! Grandma said you’re already married to dad, right? So doesn’t that mean I can see you everyday?”

Clara paused and then sighed, ‘Mommy and your daddy didn’t really get married! Although explaining this… is a bit awkward, your daddy doesn’t know that I’m your mommy yel! I can’t let him know for now, so can you keep it a secret for me?”

Aiden stared at Clara, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay! I’ll listen to you, mommy!”

“Good boy. Mommy has a request, can I give you a kiss?”

She’s been wanting to do this for years!

Aiden hesitated for a few seconds, since he had never been so close to anyone before, this was a first…..

But in the end, he nodded.

“Okay!” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Clara quickly kissed his cheek, then hugged him lightly.

“Mommy has to go now! Don’t worry, mommy will definitely come back to find you! We’ll keep in touch over the phone!”

“Okay! Be careful, mommy!”

Emmett waited for a while at the company entrance before he saw Clara rushing over

This woman wore a dress and a pair of sneakers! You could tell it was a super casual outfit!

“Mr. Melendez

“Where did you come from?” Emmett glanced at the direction she came from.

Seems like she came from the direction of the Melendez family…

“Just the restaurant over there!” Clara pointed to the food in her hand, chuckled, “I really like this place, so I went to get some!”

“You said you were too tired to accompany me to the banquet, but you ran to get this?” Emmett pointed at the food in her hand, frowned, “Clara, did you deliberately avoid going to the banquet with me?”

Clara quickly waved her hands, “No, no, not at all! I was laying in bed, suddenly thought of the food here, even though I’m really tired, but i was hungry, so.”

“The food from this restaurant is that good?” Emmett looked skeptically at the bag of food

It looked very cheap

“It’s really good! I can treat you tomorrow, Mr. Melendez”

“Just call me Emmett.”

*Emmett

“Let’s do it today”

Clara paused, “Huh?”

“I said, let’s do it today”

“What about today?”

Emmett arched an eyebrow, challenging her statement. “Didn’t you say you wanted to treat me? I suggested doing it today.”

Clara was taken aback “Now? It’s already so late Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate about it? We’re legally married, and there’s nothing wrong with us having a meal together at this hour What are you afraid of?” Emmett retorted Clara fell into a brief silence. What was she afraid of? Of course, it was him!

“Get in the car I’ll drive you home,” Emmett said, already opening the car door. However, he noticed that Clara was not following.

“What are you thinking? Get in the car!” he urged.

“Mr. Melendez, i think it would be best to treat you during the day tomorrow. It’s not suitable at this time, Clara suggested, hoping to find a compromise.

“If I say it’s suitable now, then it is” Emmett declared, his tone firm

Knowing she couldn’t win the argument with Emmett, Clara reluctantly got into the car. She had planned to video call Alex or send a message to Aiden after reaching home, or maybe even make a discreet phone call. However, it seemed that today she wouldn’t be able to do any of those things….
