Chapter 47
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
After getting out of the car, Emmett saw Clara hesitating, and he just reached out and grabbed her wrist, âLetâs go Clare looked up at his eyes!
For some reason, he always leht somewhat familiar to her.
Walking in with Emmell, Patrick was already waiting at the door!
âYouâre back.â
Emmett nodded, glancing at Clara beside him, âThis is Clar Patrick nodded, âI knowâ
Clars kept her head down, not daring to look around, âHello, Mr Melendez âYouâre still addressing me so formally? Arenât you already married to Emmett?â
Emmett interrupted âDonât make it hard for her, sheâs nervous Patrick chuckled softly, âLetâs talk inside thenâ Your mother is helping Aiden with his homework, theyâll be out when itâs done!â
Aldenâ
That must be Emmettâs son Clara followed Emmett inside, and the Melendez familyâs servants were all lined up to welcome her!
The feeling was terrifyingâ
People who havenât experienced it have no idea what it feels like! Because only she and Emmett knew she was a complete fraud!
âMs Calloway, didnât you say before that you didnât want to marry Emmett? Patrick sipped his water, then looked at Clara sitting on the sofa Clara quickly responded, âWell I was moved by Emmett afterwards.â
âMy son managed to move you?â Patrick chuckled, âI thought he was too icy to chase girls.â
Emmett frowned, âYou guys talked about this before?â
He had no idea!
âJust a bit briefly âWhat was your answer then?â
âMs Calloway said she wasnât interested in youâ
Emmett looked at Clara!
She felt even more embarrassed at this point!
She suddenly felt that she shouldnât have come today!
âUm, Im suddenly feeling a little unwell, can I go to the restroom?â Clara just wanted to find a place to cool down a bit.
Emmett stood up. âIâll take you âNo needâ Just tell me where it is, I can go by myselfâ
âGo straight, turn right.â
âOkay!â
Clara hurried off, but she didnât actually go to the restroom. Instead, she found that this road led straight to a small garden.
She sighed âI just chill here for a bit!â
Otherwise, she would have to confront their interrogation upon her return! Those two individuals were extremely intimidating! She had no clue about the nature of their upcoming inquiries! Any question posed to her might inadvertently expose her true identity.
Clara entered the garden and had just settled down when she overheard a conversation amongst a few servants behind her âAiden seems to be in a rather foul mood todayâ
âYes, he has been quite lethargic since his return. Perhaps itâs because⦠Mr Melendez recently got married! To Aiden, thatâs like having a stepmother!â
Another servant let out a sigh. âAiden is such an adorable child Inever expected him to endure such hardships! Rumor has it that he has never even laid eyes on his biological mother! He was taken away immediately after birth!â
âReally? The Melendez family can be so merciless!â
âShh! Keep your voice down, you want to lose your job?!â
âSorry, sorry.
Clara turned to look at the two of them, suddenly feeling a bit strange.
The youngest of the Melendez family has never seen his biological mother, and was taken away right after he was born, isnât this similar to the fate of her own other son?
So thereâs another poor child in the world whose life is so similar to her sonâs Clara sighed, stood up to go back, after all, she couldnât stay here too long.
Suddenly, she heard a somewhat childish voice from behind.
Very familiar Hold up, whoâre ya?â
Clara froze, turning aroundâ¦
