Chapter 196
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Clara was pretty chuffed with her life as it was.
She didnât give a ratâs ass about the criticism Emmett saw it coming from a mile away because he knew Clara like the back of his hand.
Iâm worried you might end up with some mental issues. My mom just doesnât think you fit in with our family! So, what do you reckon about the idea of us having another kid that I mentioned before?â
I havenât thought about it.â
Having Aiden and Alex were already making her feel like she was between a rock and a hard place. If she and Emmett had another child she couldnât even begin to imagine what would happen if Emmett ever found out the truth.
You could give it some thought.â Emmett took a sip of his red wine, âOnce our child is born, my mom will naturally dote on them! And then youâll no longer be the stepâmom, youâll be the childâs biological mother.â
âAbout that⦠I think we should hold off and think about it later! Now might not be the best time.â
Emmett put down his glass, clearly had more to say, but eventually held his tongue.
Their dinner was filled with heavy hearts..
Back at the office, Emmett was whisked away by Ricardo for a meeting.
Clara had just arrived at her office and hadnât even started working when the receptionist called her.
âMs. Calloway, thereâs a gentleman downstairs looking for you! He says heâs your father.â
Father?!
Clara froze, fear gripped her heart.
âTell him I donât want to see him!â
âBut⦠this gentleman said he wonât leave until he sees you! He even tried to barge in here just now!â
Clara frowned.
She knew her fatherâs temper, if she avoided seeing him today, it would definitely spark more trouble.
âAlright then, lead him to my office, thanks!â
âYouâre welcome!â
After hanging up, Clara quickly tidied up her desk, moving all her valuable items out of sight.
It felt like she was preparing for battleâ¦
Before long, Badman Calloway swaggered into her office.
âYouâve got your own office now, and youâre ignoring your own father?!â
Clara instinctively backed away, âWhy are you here again? I havenât even finished paying off the debt you left me with last time!â
âHeard youâve got a sugar daddy now, and youâve cleared the debt! Trying to pull a fast one on me?â
Badman Calloway snorted, pulling Clara towards him, âGive me another three million, Iâm leaving the country!â
âThree million? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money!â Clara was taken aback, âI donât even have thirty thousand right now!â
âI donât buy your bullshitâ Badman Calloway shot her a piercing look, âWhereâs your sugar daddy?â
âThereâs no sugar daddy!â
Badman Calloway pushed Clara onto the sofa, glaring at her, âYou dare to deceive me? You think I donât know whatâs going on? Youâre working here, even got your own office, thereâs no way you donât have a sugar daddy! You just donât want to give me money! The law states that youâre obliged to provide for me!â
âYou havenât lost your ability to act! Even if we go to court, I have no obligation to support you, let alone three million⦠It is impossible for the court to award so much money!â
âDonât talk about insignificant things! I want three million! If you donât give it to me, Iâll make sure everyone in the company knows what kind of person you are, and what youâve done to get money!
Youâre even bearing a child for a rich man!â
