Chapter 65
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Thankfully Emmett didnât insist on her living with him under the same roof, which meant Clara still had some level of freedom.
After showering and changing into her pajamas, Clara immediately took out her phone The first message she saw was from Elio She quickly hid in the bathroom and called him back.
âHey, where have you been? I thought you got kidnapped or something?â
âHow could I be kidnapped? Iâm broke and not exactly a looker, Clara sighed. âIâm just buned in work.
So busy I didnât even have time to check my phone!â
âAlex is really worried about youâ Elio hesitated, then added, âIâm also worried about youâ
Clara sighed again, âYou? Worried about me? You really expect me to believe that?â
Is it wrong for me to worry about you? Jeez, youâre such a piece of work! You donât appreciate anything! From now on, I wonât worry about you anymore You can do whatever you want! Iâm hanging up Cara quickly said, âWait! Iâm sorry! Put Alex on the phone, I want to talk to him.â
You only care about your son, and not about me!â
Despite his complaints, Elio passed the phone to Alex Heanng his motherâs voice, Alex was thrilled.
âMom! Why didnt you answer your phone? I was so womedâ
âBuddy, momâs fine! Iâm just trying to make some extra bucks to buy you burgers, okay?â
âMom, youâre the best! But Mom, you dont have to work so hard! You could just marry Mr Milbum! Heâs loaded, he can buy me burgers every day!â
Just as Clara went speechless. Elio burst into laughter on the other side of the phone, âAlex, I knew those burgers I bought you werenât for nothingâ
âMom, Iâm serious! Mr. Milburn bought me lots of burgers, and his house is huge, heâs definitely wealthy âYou cheeky kid Clara had to say, âElio, could you stop spoiling him?â
Elio defended himself, âHe came up with it!â
âYeah, Mom! You should just be with Mr Milburn, Iâm happiest when you two are together Clara rubbed her temples. âAlex, stop talking nonsense! Behave at Mr Milburnâs place, mom will come pick you up soon.â
Alex pouted, âAlrightâ
Elio took the phone back, his voice sounding serious, âClara, are you really not considering me?â
âCan you stoo messing around? Alex will take it senously!â
âIâm not messing around. Can I not be honest? Clara, Iâm senous about pursuing youâ
âI donât believe you! Iâm busy with work, I have to hang up now, please take care of Alex for me, 111 repay you somehow!â
âHmph.â
Clara ended the call, her gaze fell on her phone screen, her brows slightly furrowed She was not blind to Elioâs feelings towards her But considering her current situation, where did she have the time or energy to date?
When she initially agreed to have a baby for someone else, she decided that she would not have any relationship with any manâ She didnât want to be a burden to anyone, nor did she want to disrupt anyoneâs life!
Elios family was wealthy and he was quite handsome: If he were to be with her, it would really be unfair to him.
He deserved better.
Clara walked out of the bathroom Just as she stepped out, she heard someone knocking at the door!
Clara quickly walked over to open the door, there stood Emmett He was wearing black pajamas, which surprisingly looked quite appealing.
