Chapter 189
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âYou are my spouse now, and your life is valuable in itself! I am very happy, and I can help you become a good designer! I have this confidence: âIâll do my best!â
Emmett hugged her suddenly, kissing her lightly on the lips.
âBut donât forget about your loving husbandâs needs while youâre working your bum off!*
Clara jumped, blushing. Weâve only notâ¦for two days.â
âOnly two days?â Emmett raised an eyebrow, âFeels like a bloody eternity to me.â
Every night, sheâd be out like a light, and he couldnât bear to wake her. So heâd just take a cold shower instead.
Heâd try to get cosy with her in the morning, but sheâd be all engrossed in her designs, keen on hitting the office early.
Clara was mortified. Your your strong needsâ¦what on earth will you do when Iâm on my period?â
Emmett gripped her hand tightly, âYou can still lend a hand.â
Clara froze, quickly pulling her hand back!
âNo way! Emmett, youâve really changed!â
In her memory, Emmett used to be repulsed by women, as if the world would be better off without them.
But nowâ¦
âItâs all because of you that Iâve become like this.â Emmett pulled her into a tight embrace, âI wouldnât even glance at another woman.â
Clara was at a loss.
She didnât know whether to feel touched or overwhelmed by his passion.
Tonight, can you indulge me a bit?â
Clara shyly nodded, quickly picking up her design draft trying to change the subject, âSoâ¦.weâ¦.uh!â
He kissed her again before she could finish.
He kissed her passionately, as if he wanted to devour herâ¦.
When Clara was about to suffocate, he finally let her go.
Next second, Emmett straightened his tie, took the draft from her and sat down, âAbout your staircase and elevator designs, I think you need to step up your game.â
His swift shift left Clara bewildered. She could hardly believe the passionate kisser was the same Emmett!
One moment he was all over her, and thenâ¦
Just suddenly stopped?
âWhat are you daydreaming about?â Emmett asked, âStill thinking about what just happened?â
Clara blushed, âNo, I was thinking about the staircase design!â
âYour face is all red.â Emmett chuckled, âBlushing over a staircase design?â
Clara immediately covered her cheeks, âIâm just hot! Can you divert your attention and stop looking at my face? If you keep this up, Iâll have to kick you Out!â
Emmett couldnât help but laugh, âAlright, letâs get back to the draftâ¦â
Emmett couldnât help laughing, âOkay, then letâs continue discussing the blueprintâ¦â
Early in the morning. Taylor started a meeting as soon as he arrived at the company.
His secretary handed him some documents, and some shareholders started to voice their opinions and suggestions about the companyâs recent development.
