Chapter 195

That’s exactly why Clara felt even more quilty towards Aiden.

The more obedient and understanding he was, the worse she felt.

“Exactly‘ Aiden and Alex both adore you” Emmett looked at her face and laughed, “Sometimes when I look at you, I even feel like you’re starting to resemble Aiden and Alex”

Hearing this, Clara almost fell off her chair in shock.

She licked her lips nervously. “How is that possible! Aiden and Alex are so handsome, and I’m so ugly, how could I possibly look like them!”

“Well, maybe because you’ve spent so much time with them, you’re starting to pick up some of their traits.”

Seeing that Emmett didn’t suspect anything, Clara finally breathed a sigh of relief But she really couldn’t handle this kind of shock!

She almost thought she was going to have a stroke just now! She had no idea when this kind of life would finally come to an end.

“Maybe…”

“Aiden and Alex both think you shouldn’t be treated this way, and as their father, I think it’s not fair either. So tonight, I’m going to have a serious talk with my mother.”

There had to be a resolution.

Upon hearing this, Clara quickly advised, “Don’t! If you do that, it’ll only make things worse between me and your mother! She’s already biased against me, if Aiden goes to you and you keep talking to her about it, she’ll definitely hate me even more, thinking that I’m trying to drive a wedge between you two!

She’s already getting on in years, don’t let her get worked up over this.”

“But I can’t keep turning a blind eye” Emmett frowned, “I never let you be wronged, my mom shouldn’t either! She has no real evidence, it’s all conjecture! I’ve said it before, you’re the only woman I want to spend my life with, even if the kids‘ biological mother showed up, I wouldn’t give her a second glance.”

Biological mother…

Clara suddenly felt a pang of guilt “Forget it, Emmett! I have to take some responsibility for how things have turned out! I came into your lives too abruptly, and got along with the kids too well too quickly! I think your mother feels more of a sense of loss than anything else! Aiden, who she raised, now likes me so much! If I were in her shoes, I’d also be heartbroken.”

That kind of feeling, it’s like having a love rival!

Even worse than a love rival!

“She won’t appreciate you defending my mother! If we clear this up, maybe she’ll understand! If she still can’t understand, then we’ll take the kids and leave, let her cool down.”

“This is the third time! You’ve brought this up three times already” Clara sighed, “Didn’t we agree?

You’d leave this matter to me, and if I can’t take it anymore, we’ll move out! I haven’t said that I can’t stand it yet.”

“But seeing you being wronged, I can’t stand it.”

“Look at me, I’m fully committed to my work! I wish I had twenty–four hours a day to draw design sketches, what do I have to complain about? Your mother likes to scold, at most she’ll yell at me for a few minutes, and I’ll forget about it as soon as I turn around! Don’t worry about it too much, I’m fine.”

Clara gently patted his hand, “Aiden and Alex are still young, they won’t understand all this, even if I explain it to them, they won’t get it. But you’re different, you’re all grown up, how can you not understand? If we move out, it’ll only make things worse between me and your mother.
