Chapter 112
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âIt seems like you have an ulterior motive, wanting to take all the blame yourself! Elio, can you stop being so stubborn? il stresses me out! I have nothing to repay you with.â âThatâs exactly what Iâm hoping for!â
Elioâs words left Clara dumbfounded Then Elio slowly said. âThis way, youâll always remember me, no matter who youâre with, be it Emmett, or anyone else, youâll always be tied to me.â
Clara bit her lower lip, wanting to say something, but she couldnât She knew Elio liked her, but some things were out of controll If she knew it would end up like this, she would even question whether her decision back then was proper!
Elio was also caught in this mess, and her situation wasnât any better!
Although being with Emmett allowed her to be with her two kids, she needed to always be on alert.
She didnât like living like this.
âAll night, weâve decided, stop worrying about right or wrong! All we can do now is keep moving forward! Clara, donât be scared! Iâm always behind you, supporting you.â
âThank you!â
âYou know thatâs not what I want to hear.â
As Clara hesitated, Elio had already hung up the phone.
A glance at Alexâs room eased her nervousness a little.
She made the right decision!
At least Alex had been living with her for so many years! Otherwise, she couldnât imagine how she would have spent these years.
âMr. Melendez, the person I brought is here.â
Upon opening the door, Elio stood at the entrance to Emmettâs place with a woman.
Emmett didnât look up, just slightly turned his body to signal they could come in.
Elio quickly removed his shoes and went in the woman behind him seemed very nervous, standing behind Elio all the time, not even daring to look at Emmett.
She seemed a bit different from the woman back then.
Emmett glanced at her and said in a deep voice. âSo youâre the one who hid my son, huh?â
The woman didnât dare to speak, tightly clutching Elioâs clothes.
âMr. Melendez, donât scare her! When she learned you were looking for her, she was about to commit suicide; we barely saved her!â
âSuicide?â Emmett raised his eyebrows.
âYes! Sheâs scared of you, afraid to face the past, soâ¦â
Emmett walked back to the couch and sat down, âAfraid to face it, but back then, you dared to do such a thing, huh? Remember the contract with the Melendez family? You should know the penalty for breach of contract! Since you thought the Melendez family was not to be messed with, why did you dare to hide a child secretly!â
If it werenât for that child running over and being discovered by Emmett, he might never have known he had another son in this world!
âIâm sorry!â
âMr. Melendez!â Before the woman finished her sentence, Elio suddenly interrupted, âI should also take responsibility for this, so how about this? Iâll pay the penalty for breach of contract, you can consider this as my punishment. As for the rest, I hope Mr. Melendez can be more lenient with her. After all, the children are pow safely back. and she is their biological mother, so please forgive her!â
*Seems like you like taking responsibility on your own, huh?â
âAh. If I do something wrong, I should take responsibility!â Elio squinted and smiled, âDonât you think so?â
