Chapter 66

Why are you opening the door so late?”

1 didn’t hear Clara said with an awkward laugh, “Does Mr Melendez need anything?”

How many times have I told you to call me Emmett? Or Em“”

“Oh…” Clara pulled a face. “Sorry, I’m still not used to it! I always feel that this nickname should be called by your real wife.”

She, a lake wife, even felt quilty calling him that!

“Clara, so do you want to be my real wife?” Emmett arched an eyebrow, staring at her face.

Clara quickly denied, “No, no! Mr Melendez, oh no, Emmett, don’t over think! I know you’ve been helping me, giving me a lot of help. I’m already very satisfied! And I have a son, I’m not good enough for you!”

“Are you trying to make me chase you?”

“Absolutely not!” Clara shook her head repeatedly.

Emmett smirked, “Why are you so eager to explain? I didn’t say you can’t be my real wife.”

Clara was taken aback…

“If you’re willing. I can try to date you, for real.”

“No, no!”

Emmett frowned, ‘Is this a rejection?”

Clara felt awkward, unsure how to respond.

Saying yes would be wrong, saying no would be wrong too.

“Mr Melendez, I don’t mean that. I just feel I’m not good enough for you! And I’ve never planned to get married or have a boyfriend in my life”

“Doesn’t your child want a father?”

Clara shook her head, “No, he’s used to it.”

Emmett felt annoyed.

“Go to sleep. He turned and left.

Clara finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Emmett suddenly say, “Starting tomorrow, my son will be staying with us for a few days. Do you mind?”

Upon hearing this, Clara was so excited that she replied immediately!

“Not at all, I really like Aiden!”

“Good, if you feel that you’re not getting along with Aiden, you can tell me directly, I can keep you two apart.”

Clara quickly waved her hands, “Absolutely not! I really like Aiden.”

“Okay, I’ll have my mother bring him over tomorrow.”

“Great!”

Clara watched as Emmett disappeared from her sight, her mood suddenly lifted from a day of gloom!

She can now openly be with Aiden, just thinking about it made her excited!

She quickly ran back to her bed, picked up her phone and sent a message to Aiden.

[Your dad said you’re going to live with me starting tomorrow!]

[Yes, Mom Grandma told me about it.]

[That’s great!]

Clara waited for while, and finally, Aiden’s message came, [Mom, actually Alex is very worried, he’s afraid I’ll take you away! Initially, we planned to get you and Dad back together, but Alex changed his mind halfway through, he’s afraid I’ll monopolize you, and then he won’t have a place in your heart!]

Clara’s mood suddenly became a bit heavy….

So, even Alex, this child, had such worries!

[This is all my fault]

[It has nothing to do with you, Mom. I mentioned this just to let you know, it’s best not to tell Alex about you and me meeting for now! I’m afraid Alex won’t be able to rest easy]

Clara sighed silently How did she have such understanding children? Aident And Alex, he’s always loved her! That pure love and reliance had been the driving force for her to survive all this time!
