Chapter 161
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
She grabbed Claraâs wrist tightly. âWhat about now? What if Elio tells you now that he wants you to be his woman?â
Iâm already married to Emmell, I canât betray him! Unless Emmett stops loving me, or he betrays me firstâ Claraâs face was full of resolve, âWe havenât spent much time together, so you probably donât know me welll I want a simple life, I donât want to owe anyone anything, and I donât do anything to hurt anyone! I hope I can live without guilt and die without regrets.â
âI get youâ Leah gently patted her hand. âIf you ever need help with anything, donât hesitate to ask me!
Iâll do whatever I can to help you!â
âThank youâ Clara smiled, âWe met again in this country, maybe weâre destined to be good friends! As long as you donât hate me.â
âOf course, I wonât! Itâs always better to have more friends than being alone in a foreign country! Plus, we share the same last name, maybe we were sisters in our past lives! Leah stepped forward and hugged Clara tightly.
Behind Claraâs back where she couldnât see, Leah smirked a weird smile..
At the Milburn familyâs villa abroad.
Today was the old manâs birthday, so almost all the descendants of the Milburn family would be here, Elio didnât really want to come, but he had to.
He went to the banquet hall and found a seat.
He sat there drinking alone, no one could tell what he was thinking.
Suddenly, someone came over and tapped his shoulder!
âWhy are you sitting here all by yourself? Come on, letâs have a few drinks!â
Elio looked up, it was Aaron Calloway, Leahâs father.
âIâm not a drinker.â
âDonât be so modest, we donât have to get drunk! Just have a chat.â Aaron pulled up a chair and sat down, âDo you know my daughter went back to our home country?â
Elio glanced at him, âI know.â
âSo why did she go back? You told her you needed help with something, she went, and when she came back, she said she wanted to go back to our home country, and asked me to hand over the domestic trade work to her! I really donât know what this kid is thinking.â
Elio frowned.
He had always thought that Leah went back home for Emmett.
But Clara didnât think so, and Leah denied it!
âIf you as her father donât know, how would I know? Maybe she just thought home was better! There are more opportunities there.â
âIf she had always wanted to go back, I wouldnât be so puzzled, but she really didnât like going back before! Iâve mentioned to her many times that 1 wanted to give her all the domestic affairs and let her go back to help me, but every time she refused me seriously, if I kept bringing it up, she would get very angry!â Aaron shook his head, âI even thought she might have a boyfriend back home, but she didnât dare to tell us! You, as her brother, might know.â
âYou should know, Leah and I donât usually hang out, I only contact her when I need her help, as for whether she has a boyfriend or not, she wouldnât tell me! Weâre just relatives, I donât really know her well.â
