Chapter 135
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âMom, sheâs gonna be living with us from now on, Emmett said with a grin, about to stride forward but noticed Aiden coming out of the house too.
Aiden spotted Clara and ran over, brimming with excitement.
âMommy! Iâve missed you so muchâ
Clara immediately bent down to lift Aiden, kissing his cheek. âIâve missed you too!
Aiden blushed a bit, looking shyly at Alex, âDad, is he my brother?â
âYupâ Emmett nodded, âLetâs not chat at the door, letâs go inside!â
âRight!â Sophia nodded enthusiastically. âLetâs head in and chat. I canât wait to spoil my two grandsons!â
Come evening, the Melendez family had prepared a lavish dinner welcoming Alexâs arrival.
Clara watched Alex enjoying himself between his grandparents, feeling a bit emotional Maybe she had been too selfish, depriving Alex of the love he deserved.
âWhatâre you thinking about?â
After dinner, Emmett noticed Clara still seemed lost in thought and asked.
Clara paused, then said, âNothing just envying this harmonious family atmosphereâ
âYouâre part of it, you donât need to envy.â Emmett chuckled, âClara, you⦠planning on having another kid with me?â
âWhat?â
âMy mom asked me about this before dinner Emmett said thoughtfully. âYou donât need to feel pressured; no one will force you into anything. You have to tell me what you think! My mom asked because she wanted to know our plans!â
Caught off guard, Clara blinked, unsure of what to say.
In fact, she hadnât thought about this topic at all Especially since her marriage with Emmett was pretty much built on lies! She didnât know when it would blow up, so she hadnât Maybe she would have to leave with the kids in a few days when the truth came out!
âNot sure yet?â Emmett raised an eyebrow. âThen take your time! Itâs not a decision to rush.â
âAnd you?â Clara suddenly grew curious about his answer, âDo you want another kid?â
âYeah!â Emmett answered, âI already have two sons, Iâd love to have a daughter.â
Clara glanced at him, then laughed, âYou? Youâre not cut out for a daughter.â
âWhat? Why not?â Emmett chuckled curiously, âAre you saying Iâm not goodâlooking?â
Clara quickly shook her head, âIf youâre not goodâlooking, thereâs no one goodâlooking in this world!â
âSo youâre complimenting me?â
planned that far ahead!
Claraâs cheeks turned red, and she quickly turned her face away, âThatâs not what I mean. Iâm just saying, youâre so dominating, who would dare to marry your daughter?â
Emmett pondered a bit. That person would have to be extraordinary! And if heâs not nice to my daughter, thatâs a definite noâgo!â
âSee! Youâll be the kind of dad who meddles in his daughterâs marriage.â
âWell, that depends on the situation! If my daughter is wronged and I, as a father, do nothing, am I even a father?â
