Chapter 246
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Chapter 246
å° Back then, Aiden was still a baby.
âI heard from my mom that it was Mr. Milburn who helped deliver us.
â⦠Clara actually told you that too!â
Aiden chuckled and glanced at the bodyguard of the Melendez family not far away. âMr. Milburn, we have bodyguards picking us up from school. If we donât leave now, theyâll notice! Then dad will know that Mr. Milburn came to see us.â
Elio was momentarily stunned. He didnât expect Aiden to be so smart and mature! Even such things he could foresee.
âYouâre such a clever kid, no wonder youâve grown up beside Emmett.â
He was so different from Alex!
âThanks for the compliment.â
âThen you guys should head back! Next time, Iâll come when youâre in school.â
Upon hearing this, Alex was somewhat reluctant to leave him, âMr. Milburn, I donât want to leave you! I still want to play with you, you take me to eat yummy food!â
âNext time Iâll definitely take you out to play! Now you have to be a good boy, okay?â
âFine,â Alex pouted, and then reluctantly left with Aiden.
Behind them, Elio watched as they got in the car, his emotions complex.
Claraâs kids are so wonderful, yet now they have to face a broken home! Even though he liked Clara, he didnât want to see this scene. But he also knew that Leah wouldnât stop until she got what she wanted! Her intentions were not pure from the start! Sheâs been planning this for so long, thereâs no way he could persuade her.
Now, he didnât even know what to doâ¦
On the ride home, Alex was still texting Elio on his phone.
Aiden glanced at the driver, pressed a button to isolate the back seat from the front, and then said, âOnce we get home, stop contacting Mr. Milburn! Dad will find out.â
âIs dad that good? I wonât let him see my phone.â
âWithin the house, all the outgoing messages and calls, Dad can know if he wants.â
Alex was somewhat surprised, âWow! Thatâs amazing!â
âI donât understand this,â Alex put his phone away, âWhat do you think of Mr. Milburn? Doesnât he look great?â
Aiden thought for a moment and nodded, âHe does look very likable to kids.â
âAnd he often plays with me! When mom doesnât have time for me, itâs Mr. Milburn who stays with me.â
âSo, itâs normal for you to like him,â What Aiden was thinking about was not these, but⦠âBut didnât you say he was abroad? How did he suddenly come back?â
This made Alex somewhat puzzled.
âReally! I even asked Mr. Milburn before, he told me that he wonât be seeing me for a while!â Alex blinked. âCould it be Mr. Milburn is planning to win Mom back again?â
âI guess something might have happened,â Aiden felt somewhat uneasy inside. Any abnormality would give him this feeling. âMaybe Mr. Milburn missed me too much, couldnât resist, so he came back to see me! Aiden, youâre overthinking!â
âI donât think Iâm overthinking, I think youâre oversimplifying! This matter may involve Dad and Mom, and Iâm worried that thereâs something between them we donât know about.â
