Chapter 233
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Leah strolled over with a grin and gave Elio a light pat on the shoulder, âDidnât I make myself clear?
You donât trust me at all, do you?â
Elio shrugged off her hand, âShould I trust you? I did once, let you help me! But what did you do?â
âWhat did I do?â Leah held out her hands, âI helped you get what you wanted! I brought you and Clara together, isnât that a good thing for you?â
âI didnât plan on getting Clara this way! I love her, thatâs true, but I want her to love me genuinely, to want to be with me!â
âSince when is life so perfect?â Leah faced his accusation without a care, âIf Clara were an ordinary woman, maybe, but sheâs the mother of Emmettâs child! Sheâs far from ordinary, and youâre no Emmett!
Without a few tricks up your sleeve, youâll never get close to Clara.â
ã Elio abruptly turned to leave, but Leah, in her high heels, quickly stepped in front of him.
âIâll remind you, if you spill my plan to Clara, youâll be held responsible!â, âDonât believe me? Try it!â Leah laughed, âYour parents are in my hands now.â
Elio was stunned, âYou kidnapped them?!â No wonder they said they were going on vacation and then disappeared! He thought they had gone somewhere with no signal or were having too much fun to see his messages.
âYouâve got it all wrong! I didnât kidnap them, I merely invited them over!â Leah laughed, âDonât worry, Iâll treat them well! As long as my plan succeeds, Iâll remember that I am of the Milburn family, bearing the Milburn blood.â
âYouâ¦â Elio pointed at her, but Leah lowered his hand, âStop yelling! Clara will be here soon, have you thought about what youâre going to say to her?â
H Ð âI think your chances of convincing Clara to leave Emmett are slim, but you want to try! Iâm just reminding you not to let Clara find out anything!â
âYouâre just scared of Emmett finding out about this, arenât you? You know how much he cares about Clara! Leah, isnât stealing someoneâs man thrilling?â
Leah suddenly clapped her hands and laughed excitedly, âYes! Itâs exhilarating! Just thinking about it makes me happy! I won Emmett over with my cunning.I landed the top-notch man all women dream of!
Donât you think Iâm awesome?â
âI think you need to check yourself into a mental hospital.â
âMy silly brother, I think you need to see a psychiatrist even more! What kind of man gives up the woman he loves? Only you, I guess. One day youâll regret this.â
Elio glared at her, but Leah didnât care.
âTaking such risks, youâll only end up hurting yourself.â With that, he turned and left.
Leah picked up her wine glass, touched up her lipstick, then let go, the glass shattering on the floorâ¦
âI refuse to believe that Clara can outdo me! Thereâs nothing I, Leah, want that I canât get!â
And that included men.
