Chapter 213

It really pissed him off that she was married to him and yet she had to deal with these issues on her ownl Because she never intended to rely on Emmett. This made him feel rather emasculated.

“My dad’s a scumbag. I’m afraid he’ll come after you! If he knows you’re loaded and I’ve married you…

he’ll definitely aim to splurge all your dough; Clara hung her head low, “Your mom already doesn’t like me. If she finds out about my dad, she’ll hit the roof.”

“Why do you care about her opinion? I’m the one who married you.”

“But I want our family to be harmonious! It’s good for the kids.” She never grew up in a complete family, so she had some insecurities about marriage.

Emmett held her close, “You don’t need to feel uncomfortable because of anyone! You’re my woman, and you don’t need to care about anyone else! All I need is for you to care about me, not consider everyone else.”

Clara felt helpless, but also warmed.

“You’re so sweet, she sincerely thought.

“You think I’m sweet based just on this? You’ll discover more over time,” Emmett said with a smile, “By the way, I heard your car got hit?”

Clara froze. Why did he suddenly bring this up… Did Emmett find out something?

She cautiously looked at him, slowly nodding. “Yes, someone hit my car in the parking lot.”

“I’ll get you a new one, and this one can go to Ricardo”

“It’s just the front bumper that fell off, it can be fixed” Clara got up and handed him a thousand dollars from her bag. They have already paid for the damages.”

As long as he didn’t find out about her meeting with Taylor, she didnt care about the car.

“Let Ricardo handle this! Consider this car a reward for him,” Emmett pulled her back, “Come on, I’ll take you to get a new car!”

“I don’t want to go!”

“People say that shopping can cheer up a woman when she’s feeling down. You ve been stressed out with work recently, let’s go and relax.”

Clara quickly shook her head, “I dont like shopping! Plus, I just borrowed seventy thousand dollars from you, better not…”

Emmett raised an eyebrow. “That seventy grand, my friend has already paid me back.”

*Really?”

“Of course! Your dad lost all his money in a few hours, but it was my friend who hosted the gambling.

Emmett raised his hand, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, “In a place like the casino, if they want someone to lose, they won’t be able to win! I guess your dad has been tricked over the years.”

Clara’s heart was full of mixed feelings. Because of her dads gambling issue, she even sold her body to be a surrogate, and had two kids.

Later, because of his debts, she met Emmett and joined his company.

Sometimes she really didn’t know how to evaluate her life. Was it a joke, or was she just lucky?

“Clara, you’ve been putting up with this for years. Ah, it’s all my fault, I should’ve met you sooner.”

Seeing her hanging her head, Emmett’s heart felt like it was punched hard.

“I’m already very fortunate.” Otherwise, she didn’t know what her life would’ve turned into. Just one father, and she didn’t know how to deal with it. Maybe, after losing his money in gambling, he’d continue to sell her to others….
