Chapter 225
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Elio gritted his teeth. He wanted to punch this woman right in the face, but⦠he couldnât. Because he couldnât predict what Leah would do to Clara next. If he punched her now, would she retaliate against Clara? He couldnât take that risk.
âGive it to me straight, do you really like Clara?â Leah asked, moving closer to him. âIf youâre just playing games, then get out now! You donât need to worry about what Iâll do, I wonât drag you into it.
Weâre both Milburns, Iâm your sister.â
âAnd if I said I was just messing around, what would you do?â
âThen Iâd definitely make Clara marry the Atwoods!â
âYouâre both women, how can you be so cold-hearted?â
Leah shrugged. âCold-hearted? If Iâm not cold to others, then I wonât get what I want! If you make Clara willingly leave Emmett now, I wonât bother her! Sheâs in my way, and she has taken my man.â
âWe canât communicate! Youâre all twisted!â
âCanât communicate, then just make a choice! You donât need to argue with me about whether what Iâm doing is right or wrong, you just need to think about what you should do.â Leah sighed. âIâve been so good to you, yet you keep going against me, I should have never told you!â
âNo way!â Elio immediately retorted. âI love Clara, you canât give her to Taylor! No matter what you want to do, Iâm all ears! You just need to promise me not to contact Taylor anymore!â
Leah made an OK sign. âAbsolutely! If I can help my big bro, why not?â
âAnd, you canât hurt Clara in the process! Otherwise, donât blame me for not warning you.â
Leah lightly touched Elioâs chest and smiled. âElio, donât be mad! I actually have no ill will towards Clara! I just want her to leave Emmett, and thatâs it!â
âIâll talk to Clara about it! As long as she leaves, itâs good?â
âYep! If she leaves, I wonât bother her anymore.â
Elio frowned, his mind in chaos. He regretted it now. Why did he let Leah help in the first place! Now it was all messed up.
Taylor drove straight back to the Atwoodâs. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw his mother come out of the house.
âTaylor? Why are you back now? Did something happen at the company?â
Taylor squinted and tightly gripped his motherâs wrist. âMom, tell me, what did you do when I was in the hospital after the car accident?â Teresa was a little surprised. âWhat are you talking about? When you were hospitalized because of the car accident, I did my best to take care of you! You were very weak at that time, and the doctor said your injuries were very serious. I nearly freaked out!â
âYou know thatâs not what Iâm asking.â
â⦠Then what do you want to know?â Teresaâs eyes trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm. âAre you asking about the doctor who treated you back then?â
