Chapter 39
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
This realization made Emmett, who is usually very calm, feel a sense of unease. There was a child who looked exactly like Aident He looked at that face, and he didnât need to doubt for a moment whether this was his own child It was impossible for plastic surgery to achieve such an uncanny resemblance!
âL.. I am Aiden, Dadâ Alex was momentarily flustered and turned to run!
Emmett was about to reach out and grab him but was bumped by a security guard from behind.
âQuick! A child just slipped int Find out where he went! The security guard turned back to look, startled to see Emmett. He spoke hesitantly âCEO.
âStep aside Emmettâs face was stemm Tm leaving now!â
As Emmett turned around again, the little boy from earlier had vanished! If it werenât for the chaos around him, he would have thought it was all just a dream!
Was that little boy a twin of Aiden?
Emmett furrowed his brow and took out his phone to call his father.
âDad, I need to know who that woman was back thenâ
Finally, Clara looked up from her busy work-
It was already eight oâclock!
Damn, Alex She immediately got up and grabbed her bag, ready to bolt. Just as she was about to get on the elevator, Emmett happened to walk out!
âMr. Melendez.â
âWhy are you in such a hurryâ
Emmett glanced at her, frowning âI forgot to pick up my son from school. Heâs probably still at school! I have to go now, sorry Mr.
Melendez Clara rushed out, only for Emmett to call out to her from behind âClara, did your son come to the company?â
Clara was taken aback, quickly shaking her head, âNo way, my son is timid. He wouldnât come to the company! He must be waiting for me at the kindergartenâ
âThen you go aheadâ
The kid from earlier certainly didnât seem timidi Clara nodded, hastily getting on the elevator to go downstairs.
At the companyâs entrance, she frantically hailed a cab. Just as she was about to get in, she felt a hand tug at her clothes!
Clara turned around-
âAlex? How did you get here?â
âMom, you forgot to pick me up. So, I came myself!â Alex seemed to remember something, pushing Clara into the car and then following her in, âMom, get in the car first, letâs talk later!â
Once in the car, Clara suddenly remembered what Emmett had said to herâ¦
âDid Emmett see you?â
Alex lowered his head, remaining silent.
âIâm asking you, did Emmett see you? The man from the magazine you showed me before!â Clara inquired, her voice filled with concern.
Alex nervously bit his lip and nodded guiltily. Iâm sorry, Mom. I wanted to surprise you, so I came here.
But he didnât catch me! I cleverly managed to escape!â
Claraâs frown deepened as she looked at her son.
âAlex, why would you do that? Havenât I warned you numerous times? Donât come to my workplace, donât interact with wealthy people, and donât let too many people see your face! Why donât you ever listen to me?â
The thought of someone recognizing Alexâs face from years ago terrified Clara. She couldnât bear the idea of losing him.
âIâm sorry, Mom⦠I promise I wonât do it again⦠Alex replied remorsefully.
âAlex, this is not a joke. If you are ever discovered, we might be separated forever I canât even begin to imagine such a dayâ
