Chapter 132
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Emmett frowned in displeasure, âIs it because youâre going back home and youâre a little reluctant to leave Elio? You have feelings for him, donât you?â
Clara was helpless and speechless, âEmmett, youâre acting like a jealous man! Iâve told you about my relationship with Elio, havenât I? Even if I did call out his name in my sleep, it could just be me saying goodbye to him as a friend! You canât just assume I have other feelings for Elio because of some steep talkâ
âDreaming about him and still saying you have no feelings for him? How come you didnât dream about me?â
âI canât control my dreams!â Clara adjusted her clothes, feeling a little wronged, âIâve dreamed about the fruit vendor and our communityâs security guard. Does that mean! have feelings for them too?â
Emmett stared at her face for a long moment, then suddenly asked. âYouâve dreamed about them, but not about me?!â
Clara didnât dare admit that she had dreamed about Emmett.
Itâs just those dreams werenât exactly pleasant!
Over the years, whenever she dreamed about the past, she would wake up terrified and couldnât sleep for the rest of the night. It was like a nightmare to her.
âAfter you go home, youâre not allowed to contact Elio. Even as friends!â Emmett declared authoritatively.
But Clara wasnât the kind of woman who could be pushed around.
She pouted, âNo way, Elioâs been good to me; I canât just cut him off; what kind of person would that make me?â
*Claraâ
âIâve told you, thereâs nothing between me and Elio, but you still suspect us. Thereâs nothing I can do about it! I donât want to lie, so Iâm telling you the truth. I can avoid contacting Elio first, but if he contacts me and needs my help. Iâll help him! If you suspect my relationship with him no matter what I do, youâll suspect me. Even if I donât contact Elio, youâll still be suspicious. So no matter what I do, itâs always wrong.â
Emmett was almost confused by her words He grabbed Claraâs hand and covered her chattering mouth.
This woman, sheâs most lovable when sheâs in bed!
Once she started talking about something else, she became annoying!
Clara quickly pushed him away, her cheeks still flushed, and now there was a new blush.
âEmmett! If you want to talk, talk! Can you stop always being so physical?â
âNo! Since I canât win against your chattering, I can only cover it up to stop you from saying things I donât want to hear!â
Clara stood up, giving him a glare behind his back, âIâm not talking to you anymore; I can never win against you! Iâm going to see Alex.â
Emmett also stood up, âIâll go with you.â
âThereâs no need!â Clara instinctively refused, âI can go alone; Alex is still sleeping!â
Emmett smiled slightly, âDonât worry, I wonât do anything inappropriate in front of the child. You can rest assured.â
Clara didnât fully trust his words.
This man was too dangerous; he could do something inappropriate at any moment.
She had to stay on her guard.
