Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 196

Clara was pretty chuffed with her life as it was.

She didn’t give a rat’s ass about the criticism

Emmett saw it coming from a mile away because he knew Clara like the back of his hand.

I’m worried you might end up with some mental issues. My mom just doesn’t think you fit in with our family! So, what do you reckon about the idea of us having another kid that I mentioned before?”

I haven’t thought about it.”

Having Aiden and Alex were already making her feel like she was between a rock and a hard place. If she and Emmett had another child she couldn’t even begin to imagine what would happen if Emmett ever found out the truth.

You could give it some thought.” Emmett took a sip of his red wine, “Once our child is born, my mom will naturally dote on them! And then you’ll no longer be the step–mom, you’ll be the child’s biological mother.”

“About that… I think we should hold off and think about it later! Now might not be the best time.”

Emmett put down his glass, clearly had more to say, but eventually held his tongue. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Their dinner was filled with heavy hearts..

Back at the office, Emmett was whisked away by Ricardo for a meeting.

Clara had just arrived at her office and hadn’t even started working when the receptionist called her.

“Ms. Calloway, there’s a gentleman downstairs looking for you! He says he’s your father.”

Father?!

Clara froze, fear gripped her heart.

“Tell him I don’t want to see him!”

“But… this gentleman said he won’t leave until he sees you! He even tried to barge in here just now!”

Clara frowned.

She knew her father’s temper, if she avoided seeing him today, it would definitely spark more trouble.

“Alright then, lead him to my office, thanks!”

“You’re welcome!”

After hanging up, Clara quickly tidied up her desk, moving all her valuable items out of sight.

It felt like she was preparing for battle…

Before long, Badman Calloway swaggered into her office.

“You’ve got your own office now, and you’re ignoring your own father?!”

Clara instinctively backed away, “Why are you here again? I haven’t even finished paying off the debt you left me with last time!”

“Heard you’ve got a sugar daddy now, and you’ve cleared the debt! Trying to pull a fast one on me?” Badman Calloway snorted, pulling Clara towards him, “Give me another three million, I’m leaving the country!”

“Three million? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money!” Clara was taken aback, “I don’t even have thirty thousand right now!”

“I don’t buy your bullshit” Badman Calloway shot her a piercing look, “Where’s your sugar daddy?”

“There’s no sugar daddy!”

Badman Calloway pushed Clara onto the sofa, glaring at her, “You dare to deceive me? You think I don’t know what’s going on? You’re working here, even got your own office, there’s no way you don’t have a sugar daddy! You just don’t want to give me money! The law states that you’re obliged to provide for

me!”

“You haven’t lost your ability to act! Even if we go to court, I have no obligation to support you, let alone three million… It is impossible for the court to award so much money!”

“Don’t talk about insignificant things! I want three million! If you don’t give it to me, I’ll make sure everyone in the company knows what kind of person you are, and what you’ve done to get money! You’re even bearing a child for a rich man!”
