Chapter 187
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âWhat happened to your mom?â Emmett raised an eyebrow, looking at his son, and probably guessed the reason.
Aiden pulled a face, his voice firm, 1 donât want Granny to keep misunderstanding Mom! Grandma always thought mom would abuse me and my brother, but sheâs never done that! Dad, youâre not home often, so you donât know Granny has been talking nonsense to Mom.â
Emmett paused for a moment.
He knew this was the issue.
âAiden, your mom and I already had a chat about this.â
âWell, what did Mom say?â Aiden asked, then grimaced, âDid she say⦠she can put up with it?â
Emmett nodded, âYeah.â
Seems like his son really understood his mom!
âMom told me that before, but I can tell sheâs not comfortable deep down! I tried to talk to Granny about it, but no matter what I said, she always said! was too young and didnât understand! Iâm really upset, Aidenâs face was full of frustration, âLast time, I even saw Mom crying! But Granny still insisted sheâs our stepâmom and needs to remind herself of that so she treats us right.â
Emmett picked up his son, âAiden, do you really like Clara as your mom this much?â
Aiden nodded vigorously. âOf course I do! Momâs really good to us!â
âThen leave this to me, you focus on your studies.â Emmett smiled and ruffled his sonâs hair, âI wonât let your mom keep getting upset! Iâll go talk to your Granny this afternoon about it.â
Aiden asked, âReally? Dad, youâre willing to help Mom?â
âAbsolutely! Dad also wants Mom to always be a part of our family.â
âThatâs great! What Dad said must be more useful than me. Grandma always says Iâm too young and whatever I want to tell her, she just replies with that!â âDonât worry, leave it to me.â Emmett said, satisfied.
Seeing how much his son liked Clara, it proved he was right to marry her!
She was just like the woman he imagined, treating both kids well.
After Clara had washed and eaten, she kissed the kids and headed to work.
Lately, she was even dreaming about drawing design drafts!
Until she finished, sheâd probably feel stressed.
âMs. Calloway, youâre here so earlyâ Ricardo was surprised to see Clara.
The boss wasnât even at work yet! Usually, didnât they come together?
âYes! Mr. Melendez is still showering, so I snuck over.â Clara laughed, waving the design in her hand, âI have a new idea today and want to draw it sooner! If I wait for him at home, I donât know when I will wait until I am very anxious.â
âDo you really like drawing design drafts?â Ricardo looked puzzled at the draft in her hand, âI remember in university, Iâd get a headache just watching my classmates do this! If I had to do this job, Iâd probably go crazy.â
Clara smiled, âEveryone has different interests and abilities! I donât have your superpowers! When Matt, the housekeeper is not around, you handle all the business in the company. I really admire you!â
