Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 184

*Aiden usually spoke very maturely, right?” Clara still didn’t know what Aiden said. But she could guess! Probably something about hoping Sophia would stop embarrassing herself anymore.

“You’re really good at passing the buck Sophia snapped, icy as ever. Long story short, I’m telling you this once and for all, whatever’s going on between you and Emmell

not my business! But if you even think about hurting my grandkids, I won’t stand for it! They’re my little treasurest Remember where you stand, or one day if I get some dirt on you, I’ll make sure you and Emmett get divorced Don’t feel wronged”

With that, she got up and stormed off to her room.

Clara stood there for a moment before heading back to her own room.

After a shower, she came out to find a text from Elio Milburn,

[How’s it going over there? Is Leah giving you trouble?]

[No! You don’t have to worry about this, she is more careful than me, every time it involves the Melendez family, she can think ahead! I don’t have to worry! I think you’re overcomplicating things. I know the scenario you mentioned could happen, but… she could just be a simple girl, right?]

After a while, Elio replied, [I don’t know about other women, but you’re definitely the naïve typel Easily fooled and too trusting! Leah’s been handling family affairs for a while now, she’s been through the wringer in the business world. If it comes down to a battle of wits, you won’t stand a chance‘]

[Don’t worry, I know what to do! Thanks for caring.]

Looking at the text, Clara took a deep breath.

Sometimes she wondered, if Emmett hadn’t come along, would she have been happy married to Elio?

Even without love, he was really caring and warm.

Just as she was thinking, the bedroom door opened

Emmett walked in!

“Why are you still up?”

“I just took a shower, Clara smiled. “Did you finish your meeting? Go take a shower and sleep!”

Emmett strode over and wrapped his arms around her from behind, “Shower together?”

“I just showered! Didn’t you notice?”

“But I want to shower with you” Emmett whispered in her ear Tell me, did my mom give you a hard time again?”

Clara was taken aback, she turned to face him, “How did you know? Weren’t you in the study for a meeting?”

“There’s a camera in the living room, I checked it after the meeting “Emmett frowned, “How about we move out? If you want to bring the kids, we’ll take them with us! We can have the housekeeper and servants take care of them while we’re at work, and on weekends when you’re off, I won’t let you work

overtime. They’ll be at school when you’re at work, how about that? This way, you can be close to the kids and stay away from my mother!”

Actually, Clara really wanted to agree.

After all, being scolded mercilessly every time did hurt.

But… NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Emmett, if we do this, your mother will be heartbroken! And she’s already suspicious of me, if I take both kids away, won’t she come after me?”

“I won’t let her do that.”

“Emmett… I don’t want to put you in a difficult position, and I don’t want to cause trouble for others.”

Emmett held her tightly, “then you let yourself be wronged? We have plenty of houses to live in! It’s normal for you and my mother living together to have issues, I didn’t realize my mom would be like this, but now I really think she’s gone too far.”

“I can understand your mom.”
