Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 10

"Uh... I mean... I wish he was my dad...."

Clara walked over, grabbed her son's arm, and said seriously, "Remember, son! Even if they're loaded, they shouldn't spend a dime on us! That money isn't ours! Got it?"

"Mm-hm!"

"Good boy! Now go read some more. I'll whip up some grub."

But Aiden followed her. Because within Clara, there was a motherly love that attracted him...

It was an experience he had never had before! He couldn’t help but want to get closer.

"What's up? Alex, you seem off today?" Clara turned her head and looked at her own son, raised her hand and touched his forehead, "You don't have a fever! You seem a bit down!"

"So... what should I do?"

"Don't you usually make a mess at home every day, refuse to take baths and study?"

"Oh... so can I not bathe today?"

Clara sighed, "Of course not! After dinner, I'll take you to bathe!"

Aiden was stunned, "You? Take me to bathe?"

"Yeah! Who else?"

"But I'm a boy!"

Clara rubbed her son's hair and laughed, "What, you just started kindergarten and you already know about gender differences?"

"I didn't know before?"

Aiden was helpless. What exactly was the original Alex like!

"You should have known this before! Besides, how would I know if you knew or not! I'm not you!" Clara laughed awkwardly. She had really never paid attention to this issue before, so she quickly changed the subject, "So, what do you feel like eating? Is steak burger okay?"

"Haha, let's change the topic! It's like I could really have a good tale to tell with Emmett!" Clara reached out and pinched her son's cheek, "Alex, for you, I won't go on dates, nor will I find a stepfather for you! Having you as my son is enough in this lifetime."

...

In the Melendez family's mansion.

The previous Aiden was hard to please. He was always cold as ice, just like Mr. Emmett, so the servants were all scared of Aiden!

But now, Aiden was all smiles to every servant!

"Miss, I want to play hide and seek, will you play with me?" Alex tugged at a maid's dress, squinting his eyes and giving a sweet smile.

Before the maid could respond, a voice suddenly cut in--

"No playing! Why do you seem like a different person than before?"

Alex looked up... and saw the person scolding him was Emmett.
