Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 108

Emmett pulled Clara in, planting a kiss on her lips right away.

Caught off guard, Clara forgot to push him away.

Suddenly, Emmett let go of her lips, leaving a strange blush on her cheek.

"You can go now. I'll get close to you again when you're ready." Emmett said.

"..."

He hadn't given up yet.

But hey, a narrow escape is still an escape! Without saying another word, Clara turned and walked away.

Behind her, Emmett watched her retreating figure and sighed.

This woman was just irresistible!

...

Clara hurried away, immediately pulling out her phone to call Elio.

Elio had been waiting for her call for a while.

"Are you okay? Did Emmett give you a hard time?" Elio asked, with his voice full of urgent concern.

Had he not known she was with Emmett, he would have gone looking for her.

"No..."

"Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"

"No need, I can go home myself."

It's the best solution Elio could come up with.

"But..."

"No buts, you don't have any other choices. Look on the bright side, you can reunite with your family. You can be with both of your sons, and they can proudly call you Mom. How great is that!"

Clara looked into his eyes, furrowing her brow, "What about you?"

"Me?"

"You've done so much for me, but you haven't gotten anything in return."

Elio waved his hand, putting on a casual smile, "I'm fine! As long as you and Alex are happy. Would a stud like me worry about not finding a girlfriend? I might even find a super-awesome wife!"

Clara bit her lower lip, feeling a pang of guilt that words couldn't express.
