Chapter 44
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âDidnât your mom tell you that youâre leaving school? The teacher bent down to him and said, âAre you sad to leave?â
âMy mom said Iâm leaving school?â
The teacher nodded, âYep! Your mom said youâre going to a far place and canât come to kindergarten anymore! But weâll miss you If you ever get the chance to come back, remember to visit us!â
Aiden was shocked He had no clue what was going on! Alex was leaving?
There must be something big going on. Otherwise, his mom wouldnât let Alex drop out!
Oh my God, Alex wasnât sick, was he?
Thinking about this, Aiden turned and ran Behind him, the teacher shouted, âAlex be careful! Donât run around by yourself! Go find your mom!â
I got it thanks, teacherâ Aiden said, hastily hailing a car.
âDriver, I need to go to Melendezâs companyâ
âMelendezâs company?â The driver glanced at him in the backseat and nodded, âAlright.â
Clara was still feeling like she was dreaming while looking at the marriage certificate!
Whether it was real or fake, she legally had a husband âWhat are you thinking about?â Emmett glanced at her.
Clara lowered her head and said, âNothingâ¦
â
âRemember our agreement. Be careful with your words and actions from now on. I donât want any trouble from you for the company.â
Clara nodded, âI understand! Anyways, thanks for saving me, Mr. Melendez. You also paid off my debts so I donât have to hide from debt collectors all the time. I wonât cause you any troubleâ
Clara was grateful!
If it wasnât for Emmett that day, she didnât want to imagine what would have happened!
Emmett glanced at her and said, âAs long as you understand.â
âThank you, Mr. Melendezâ Clara bowed her head.
Emmett said, âStop calling me Mr. Melendez.â
âCall me Emmett, or Emâ
Clara looked panicked, âThatâs not appropriateââ
âJust do as I say!â
Clara couldnât say a word âIs it that hard to call me by my name? You seem pretty cozy with Taylor.â
âThatâs different!â
âWhatâs so different? Do you and Taylor have something special?â
Clara quickly said, âNothing!â
Her phone rang just as she finished her sentence.
âI need to take a call!â
Clara turned and walked to a corner before she dared to pick up.
âHello, Elio Milburn have you settled Alex?â
Elio sounded a bit helpless, âIâm here, Alex will definitely be safe! What are you worrying about!â
âAlex has never left me in all these years, how could I not worry? Iâm worried heâll cry. Iâm worried he wonât adapt to the new environment!
âDo you want me to video call you?â
Clara looked at Ermmett not far away and refused, âNever mind! Itâs not convenient right now! Iâll video call you when I get home from work.â
