Chapter 117
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Elioâ¦
âNo need to say anything. Iâm having dinner with Alexâ
With that, Elio hung up the phone Clara stared at her phone, stunned momentarily, before returning to her senses The bathroom door opened, and Emmett walked out, wearing nothing but a towel.
He looked very appealing Clara froze for a moment, then covered her eyes with a blanket.
âEmmett! Why are you naked!â
âYouâve seen and touched, isnât it a bit late to be shy now? Emmett smiled lightly and said in a good mood.
Clara didnât know what to say, she just pouted and said nothing.
Emmett walked over and pulled the blanket away. âAre you planning to suffocate yourself?â
âEmmett, you canât do this!â
âDo you think this is too much?â Emmett gently blew in her ear, causing Clara to shiver âI have something else to do, I need to leave!â Clara said, trying to leave.
Emmett reached out and pulled her back.
âIve booked a flight home, we should get going! Get readyâ
Clara hesitated momentarily, âAre we returning with your other child?â
âOf course! I havenât met him yet. Would you like to go with me?â
âIs that okay? Itâs your first time meeting your son, isnât it inappropriate for me to be there?â She was worried about Alex seeing her, which could complicate things.
âYouâll be his mother soon, whatâs inappropriate about that?â Emmett was a bit worried thinking about his other child.
Emmett hadnât met the child for many years or had any emotional bond. If he suddenly left his mother, would he fall sick?
But now, with Clara, Emmett couldnât take the childâs mother back with him, could he?
âIâm not good at handling these situations, letâs not do it! Clara thought of Alexâs personality and got a little worried.
Alex was a chatterbox, who knows what shocking things he might say when he saw Emmett! Heâs repeatedly made it clear that he didnât like Emmett âAre you planning to avoid him forever?â Emmett asked, âHe looks almost identical to Aiden, their personalities should be similar too! The sooner you get to know him, the sooner you can blend into the Melendez family!â
Clara eventually agreed.
Emmett had already said this much, if she kept dodging, he might get suspicious.
âAlright, Iâll do as you sayâ
âThereâs something else.â Emmett suddenly stood up, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Clara, âConsider this my engagement gift to youâ
Upon hearing this, Clara immediately pushed it back, âI canât accept! Youâve already helped me pay off so many debts and provided me job opportunities; I canât take anything else from you!â
âYouâre my wife, using my money, working in my company, isnât that normal? Then whose company do you want to work for? Elioâs?â
