Chapter 179
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âGetting rid of the problem for good?â Mr. Quintin was taken aback, especially seeing her somewhat unsettling gaze.
âWhat are you afraid of!â Leah looked at him dismissively, I am not asking you to kill anyone!â
âBut if you take action against Taylor, the Atwood family wonât let me off the hook! After all, Iâm the one who brought Taylor out, not you!â
Leah looked a bit helpless, âWhy are you such a coward? When did I say I was going to take action against Taylor?â
Then you didnât you say you wanted to get rid of Taylorâs problem completely?â
1 didnât! My target is Emmett, Taylor is just part of my plan.â
After work, Clara took the car home This time only Aiden came out to greet her, she had no idea what Alex was up to.
Clara happily bent down and picked up Aiden, âDid you finish your homework?â
Aiden nodded. âYeahâ
Thatâs good! Whereâs your brother? Why havenât I seen him?â
Hearing this, Aiden looked a bit embarrassed, âMom, grandma wonât let him come out to meet you! She said sheâs afraid youâre paying too much attention to Alexâ
Clara was speechless.
She really couldnât understand Sophiaâs point.
âMom, grandma thinks Alex is easy to fool, and you want to use him!â
Hearing Aidenâs explanation, Clara finally got it.
She felt a bit helpless. âIs your grandma not in a good mood lately?â
âWell⦠I think sheâs just like usual, but when she deals with you, she suddenly doesnât seem like the grandma I know!â Aiden recalled, âUsually grandma never raises her voice at us, no matter how well I do in school, she never interferes, she just tells me to eat more and take care of my health! So I was really surprised when she mentioned you last time.â
Clara patted his little head. âMaybe your grandma had too high expectations of me! Itâs okay, mom doesnât mind, and you donât need to worry about it either!â
Aiden nodded.
Clara took Aiden to her bedroom, and soon Alex came running âMom! Iâve been looking for you and Alex everywhere!â
âWhatâs up?â Seeing him all sweaty, Clara immediately went over to wipe his face.
Alex grinned, âI sneaked out when grandma wasnât looking! If she finds out, sheâll be upset, so I ran all the way here, ditching the servants who were watching me!â
âAlexâ Clara poked his forehead helplessly. âIf you knew grandma would be upset if she found out, why did you run out?â
âBecause I missed you! I used to be with you every time you came back from work, but now grandma wonât let me, and when i protested, she said I was too young to understand anything!â Alex pouted, âMommy, when will I grow up and understand what you guys are always talking about âUm Aiden chimed in. âThis isnât about age, if youâre smart enough, you can understand it now.â
âAiden, Iâm very smart too, you know?â
