Chapter 34
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âWhich way should i go?â Aiden asked âThat way the attendant pointed in a direction Aiden expressed his gratitude and quickly ran towards that direction It seems like Alex has really come! He probably just forgot to contact me!
Thank goodness As long as I find him, everything will be fine!
Aiden searched everywhere, not leaving any corner unexplored. But the amusement park was crowded with people! His vision was starting to blur, yet he couldnât find the familiar figure âAiden, what are you looking for?â Suddenly, he heard Emmettâs voice.
â1. Aiden blurted out that he was looking for his mommy. However, seeing Emmett s expression, he swallowed his words. âIâm looking for a fun attractionâ
Emmett glanced at his watch âI have a meeting Do you want to continue playing here by yourself or come back with me?â
Upon hearing that, Alden immediately said, âBut you promised to accompany me today! Why do you have something else.
âItâs an impromptu meetingâ Emmett glanced at him âIll make it up to you when I have time.â
Aiden grew anxious and quickly grabbed his arm. âDad, can you stay with me a little longer? Just for a while!â
His sudden action puzzled Emmett âWhat do you have in mindâ Speak up! I donât like children who lieâ
Aiden lowered his head. I. I just want a mommyâ¦â
Emmett frowned, âAll you need to do is focus on your studies. Donât meddle in adult affairs! If you donât behave, I wonât take you out anymore.â
âIâm sorry, Dad.â
âI have to go, are you coming back with me?â
Aiden nodded, âOkay.â
âLetâs go.â
After saying this, Emmett walked ahead. Aiden looked aroundâ¦
What a bummer, todayâs plan was a bust!
Aiden thought âNext time I see Alex, Iâm going to give him a piece of my mind! It was his idea to come up with all these plans, and now heâs nowhere to be found!â
Clara spent a long time with her son at the amusement park. They only headed home in the afternoon after grabbing some burgers.
But she was on edge the entire ride back, afraid of running into Emmett!
In the car, Alex couldnât help reminiscing about the fun they had, âMummy, the lady at the carousel said I have beautiful eyes! She thought I was a girl.â
âYouâre indeed very pretty. If you had long hair, youâd definitely pass for a girl!â
âSo when she asked me to take off my mask for a closer look, I did Clara was startled, âDidnât Mummy tell you not to take off your mask in crowded places?â
âItâs fine. I only let her take a quick peek before putting it back on!â Alex stuck out his tongue, âDonât worry, Mummy. I know to take care of myself. I donât want to be separated from youâ
Clara reached over to pat her sonâs head, sighing in resignation, âAlex, do you resent Mummy? Do you blame me for not giving you a complete family?â
Innocent Alex blinked, âWhy do I have to have a complete family? I already have a lot of restrictions with only you taking care of me. If I had a dad too, wouldnât I be even more restricted?â
Clara was at a loss.
What kind of logic is this?
âI heard on TV that itâs pretty miserable for women to grow old without a man. Thatâs why I suggested you get a boyfriend!â
âWhere did you hear all this..â
