Chapter 121

“Bro, you are something else! Even though you don’t have the power and background like Emmett, I think you’re ten times better than Emmett Leah Calloway sighed deeply. “Life’s doing you dirty! A loyal and passionate guy like you should have a happy ending, not having to hand over the woman you love to another man”

Ello smirked. “I’m beat, you should go. Alex’s stuff should be all wrapped up by now If Emmett comes looking for you, give me a ring if he doesn’t, everything’s fine, and you don’t need to look for him”

Leah Calloway nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t “Mm, I still trust you” Elio stood up and walked her to the door. “Alex is still sleeping. I’m the only one at home; I can’t take you home. Call a cab, and call me when you get home, let me know you’re safe”

Leah Calloway made an OK gesture, “Mm, no worries”

Elio watched her car leave, then his expression turned serious.

Leah Calloway’s words made him a little unsure.

He quickly shook his head, trying to stop these chaotic thoughts.

I “What am I thinking? Clara being with the two kids, isn’t that the best outcome? I’m useless to her now, I can’t even add a bit of sparkle to her life; the best thing I can do is to disappear and protect her.”

After Clara left Emmett’s house, she rushed to find Elio.

Walking into the house and seeing Alex asleep, she finally relaxed.

“Did Alex say anything to you?” Clara was always a little uneasy She was worried that her affair with Emmett would leave a scar on Alex!

Even though Alex seemed carefree, his mind was compassionate!

“No, Alex is very understanding of you now!” Elio smiled and poured her a glass of water, “What about Emmett? Did he suspect anything?”

“It doesn’t seem like it. Clara finished and sighed, “I don’t know what will happen. I always feel that lying is not a long–term solution, but I don’t have a better plan. This is the best outcome for now, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to maintain it for long”

She couldn’t imagine what the situation would be like then, and as Alex and Aiden grow older, this lie won’t be able to be kept for long! What will Emmett do to her, then?

“Don’t worry too much, for now, all we can do is take things as they come.” Elio handed her the warm glass of water, comforting her, ‘I know you have many concerns. When I came up with this plan, I thought a lot! But you can also be a little optimistic. Maybe, you and Emmett will truly fall in love? By then, Emmett might not hold you responsible anymore.”

Clara lowered her head, “You don’t know Emmett, he hates being deceived! I once tried to tell him the truth, but he clearly said he couldn’t tolerate it! I’m afraid I’ll lose Alex I can’t take that risk.”
