Chapter 120
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âNo way!â Clara refused immediately, looking panicked. âI⦠I think we should wait! I havenât figured out how to explain to the kid who you are. Can we wait till heâs a bit older? He might take it betterâ
Emmett stared into her eyes momentarily, then lightly said, âAlright.â
This woman is like a bunny. If I push too hard, she might boll Iâve got her body now the rest can come slow and steady Iâve got all the time in the world After dinner, Alex was a bit sleepy, so Elio took him back to his place.
Leah Calloway also went with them, saying she wanted to spend more time with the kid.
Elio didnât see any harm in it, so he agreed.
After putting Alex, who had fallen asleep, back in his room, Elio came out to find Leah Calloway looking at his paintings.
âDidnât expect you to have this kind of talent.â
âJust doodlingâ Elio walked over and put away the sketchpad Leah Calloway chuckled, âIâm guessing this oneâs Clara, right?â
Elio blinked, âNo, itâs just a random person.â
âDude, why are you hiding your feelings? Is it because you canât compete with Emmett?â
âThe power of the Melendez family is great; how could I compete with that? Besides, Clara doesnât love me. Her feelings for me are pure.â
Leah Calloway frowned, âThen⦠have you ever thought, if Emmett loses interest in Clara and stops chasing her, youâll have your chance? This way, you donât have to fight with Emmett over a woman.â
âRight now, itâs because Emmett is interested in Clara. But itâs hard for that kind of interest to last a lifetime!â Leah Calloway laughed and lightly patted his shoulder, âLook at Alex; he likes you so much!
Youâve known Clara for so many years, your feelings for her arenât just interest, they are genuine! This is not only good for you, but it also doesnât impact Emmett, and itâs even better for Clara!â
Elio was silent; no one knew what he was thinking Seeing that he didnât speak, Leah Calloway continued. âIf you just give up on Clara after all these years, it would be a real waste.â
âDo you have any plans for Emmett?â Elio suddenly asked, his eyes locked on her.
For some reason, he always felt Leah Callowayâs attitude seemed to change after meeting Emmett But he hadnât had much contact with his sister before, so he wasnât clear about her original personality.
âMe? Leah Calloway pointed at herself, then laughed and waved her hand, âHow could I have feelings for Emmett? Iâve been lying to him from the start. Iâll probably hide from him in the future How could I want to be with himâ
âIâm sorry, Iâm overthinking.â Elio felt guilty.
After all, he was the one who asked Leah Calloway for help, but now he was doubting her intentions.
âNo worries! Weâre good friends, right?â Leah Calloway smiled gently, âBut I think, if you donât end up with Clara, it would be such a waste! Think about what Iâve said,do you want to give up this chance?â
Elio frowned.
