Chapter 215
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Taylor immediately asked, âAnd then?â
âThen, your mother blamed everything on Clara, Leah sighed, pretending to shrug regretfully. âAnd so, you two were forcibly separated. Clara chased you all the way to foreign lands and to the hospital, but she didnât even have a chance to see you. I remember, your mother slapped her twice and told her to stop dreaming Taylor shot up from his chair, his hands balled into fists.
âDo you have any evidence for what youâre saying?â
âOops, I forgot that youâre her son. Im really stepping out of line here, accusing Mrs. Atwood, Leah smacked her forehead. âIf you donât believe me, I canât do anything about it. Iâve got things to do, so Iâll take my leave nowâ
After saying that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Taylor grabbed her arm, âDont leavel Explain everything!â
âMr. Atwood, youâve been asking for evidence. Clearly you donât trust me, so whatâs the point of me explaining further? Why waste time?â Leah waved her hand dismissively. She took a sip of the lemonade that had just been brought to her. âThanks for the hospitality, the lemonade is delicious.â
The moment she left. Taylor immediately followed.
âI believe you! Tell me everything!
âI donât know everything, Leah glanced at him. I only know that you and Clara were once in love and were torn apart. Evenâ¦â
âEven what?!â
âAnd even the matter of your amnesia has many suspicious aspects.â
Taylor took a few steps back, his mood heavy. He didnât dare to imagine what was nextâ¦.
âAlthough you did hit your head back then, but⦠I heard from the Milburn family that it wouldnât have caused amnesia. It was during the surgery, they deliberately tampered with your hippocampus, causing your memory to be scrambled. Leah pretended to be a little bit troubled. âBelieve it or not, itâs up to you!
After all, itâs been so many years, and Clara is now with Emmett Maybe itâs better for you not to know the truth.
Taylor fell silent for a moment before asking. You mentioned cooperating with me, how exactly?
âMr. Atwood, youâre not in a good state today. Letâs talk about the cooperation another day.â Leah handed him a business card. âContact me when you make up your mind.â
Clara accompanied Emmett to several car dealerships. Despite the smiles on their faces, she was still thinking about Elioâs text message.
While Emmett was on a call, she excused herself to the bathroom. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she immediately dialed Elioâs number.
âWhy did it take you so long to reply?â Elioâs voice came through.
âI was with Emmett just now.â
Elio fell silent for a few seconds, his tone noticeably lower. âAre you two always together now?â
âNot always! Thereâs just been some stuff going on recently, and heâs been coming around a lot because heâs worried about me.â
âIt seems like Emmett is really thoughtful Elio forced a cheerful laugh. âWhen will you be free? Can we meet up?â
Since Elio had asked, Clara couldnât refuse.
But she was uncertain. After all, knowing Elloâs personality, he wouldnât have initiated a meeting after she started dating Emmett. Hed worry about misunderstandings arising between him and Emmett, and heâd try to avoid such situations
