Chapter 136

Clara nodded reluctantly, “Alright, I admit you’ve got a point.”

Emmelt reached out and pulled Clara into his arms.

“Our daughter, she’ll be my most precious. If you could have a daughter for me, I’d treat her like a treasure! But I want to stress I’m not forcing you to have kids for me! It’s your choice whether you decide to have a kid or not, I’ll respect your decision”

Clara nodded, “I need to think about this”

Hearing Emmett talk about how happy he’d be to have a daughter, she also started to look forward to it!

But!

Reality didn’t allow her to have such expectations!

“Alright, however, you decide is fine! I’m not in a rush, and you don’t need to be either! I’m still young, it’s not too late if you want to wait till you’ve thought it through.”

Clara lowered her head, a question suddenly popped into her mind.

“Your parents, aren’t they worried that you marrying me might lead to me mistreating the two kids?

After all, I’m their stepmother! Now you’re suggesting having another kid, aren’t they worried that there might be conflicts between my kid and theirs, or even fights over the family fortune?”

She remembered seeing such scenarios in TV dramas all the time!

But it seemed like this wasn’t a problem in the Melendez family. Emmett’s mom wasn’t warm to her, but at least she didn’t pick on her! His dad just asked about some things from the past!

These understandings made Clara feel she had already become part of this big family.

“Worried about what? We Melendez’s have many assets; there’s no need to fight over it.” Emmett shrugged, “They all know even if everyone gets a share, it won’t run out! I’ll educate them from a young age.”

Clara was taken aback.

But after thinking it over, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Only you could pull off saying something like that!”

Elio’s family was also well–off, but he wouldn’t dare to say something so “arrogant.”

“Yep.” Emmett nodded, “So, do you feel like you did something delicious in a past life? That’s why you had the luck to meet me.”

Clara couldn’t help but retort, “Since when did Mr. Melendez become so self–obsessed?*

“I’m not bragging: I’m just emphasizing my good points! So that you won’t be distracted by others.”

“Is Mr. Melendez hinting at Elio again?”

Emmett shrugged, “I didn’t say anything, you brought it up.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this! You look tired, why not return to your room and rest?”

“How could I? Ricardo has been helping me with work recently; now that I’m back, I can’t let him work overtime while I rest; I’d feel terrible!”

“Don’t worry! Ricardo is very competent, you should rest, the kids are waiting for you.”

Clara intended to persist, but considering the kids needed her to explain some things, she should reserve some energy to talk to them.

“You just got back; you don’t have to rush back to the company; it’s alright.” Emmett gently patted her shoulder, “Remember, you’re a CEO’s wife. unlike other secretaries.”

“I don’t want any privileges or people thinking I’m incapable of my position.”

“Having privileges is a kind of ability! Why do you think I don’t give others privileges?”
