Chapter 28

Clara was actually pretty baffled too. She had no idea Emmett had such a particular habit But he really didn’t seem to interact with women much Even during business negotiations, if there wem women present he’d always keep his distance.

But that’s not a mason for her to marry Emmett “Mr. Melendez, there must be a reason for this. Maybe he’s got a special lady he’s into Marrying him wouldn’t be right in just a secretary. I’m no match for a big family like the Melendez family”

She never thought shed become Patrick’s daughter–in–law and she didn’t dare to think about it “Are you reacting met Patrick raised an eyebrow Tm not rejecting just think this is unreasonable”

“If I say it’s reasonable, it is”

Clara was left speechless, so she dropped a bomb “Mr Melendez, I have a son”

At this Patrick’s brows furrowed “You have a child at such a young age?”

“Yes, so I really can’t marry your son I appreciate your kind intentions” Clara added, “I think your son is a very outstanding man. He should find a more suitable partner You might want to have more private talks with him Patrick sighed, “I wish he would just talk to me. But never mind, let’s forget this conversation ever happened. If you’re not interested in beng with my son, I hope you’ll stay away and avoid causing any scandals for the Melendez family. It would damage the reputation of our entire family”

Clara quickly nodded, showing her understanding “Don’t worry, I get it As Patrick walked away, Clara felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been worried that Patrick wouldn’t accept the fact that she already had a child. And she hadn’t even thought about marriage get.

Even if she did want to find a partner someday she wouldn’t choose someone from a wealthy family She didn’t want the media prying into her personal life. If her son’s identity was revealed, she might even risk losing custody of him, as per their previous agreement Clara let out another sigh, relieved that her fears had been unfounded.

When she returned to the office. Emmett was already there He was unbuttoning his shirt, and his deep voice rang out, “Where were you?*

I was making copies.”

My father was here Clara really wanted to roll her eyes He knew all along, so why did he ask her?

“What did he say to you?” Emmett suddenly looked up at her.

Clara hesitated. “Your father came to check on you.”

“Did he ask you to get women close to me?”

Clara immediately shook her head. “No!”

“So what was it? You’re not going to marry me, are you?”

Clara opened her mouth, but no words came out Emmett raised his eyebrows, “Did I guess right?”

“No, no! Your father was just worried about you! He said you were too tired and asked me to remind you to rest more!”

Clara breathed a sigh of relie Emmett calmly handed her a document, “Make ten copies of this and take them to the conference room”

“Okay” Clara took it, and saw There was Taylor’s name on it
