Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 120

"No way!" Clara refused immediately, looking panicked. "I... I think we should wait! I haven't figured out how to explain to the kid who you are. Can we wait till he's a bit older? He might take it better."

Emmett stared into her eyes momentarily, then lightly said, "Alright."

This woman is like a bunny. If I push too hard, she might bolt!

I've got her body now the rest can come slow and steady.

I've got all the time in the world.

After dinner, Alex was a bit sleepy, so Elio took him back to his place.

Leah Calloway also went with them, saying she wanted to spend more time with the kid.

Elio didn't see any harm in it, so he agreed.

After putting Alex, who had fallen asleep, back in his room, Elio came out to find Leah Calloway looking at his paintings.

"Didn't expect you to have this kind of talent."

"Just doodling." Elio walked over and put away the sketchpad.

Leah Calloway chuckled, "I'm guessing this one's Clara, right?"

Elio blinked, "No, it's just a random person."

"Dude, why are you hiding your feelings? Is it because you can't compete with Emmett?"

But he hadn't had much contact with his sister before, so he wasn't clear about her original personality.

"Me?" Leah Calloway pointed at herself, then laughed and waved her hand, "How could I have feelings for Emmett? I've been lying to him from the start. I'll probably hide from him in the future. How could I want to be with him!"

"I'm sorry, I'm overthinking." Elio felt guilty.

After all, he was the one who asked Leah Calloway for help, but now he was doubting her intentions.

"No worries! We're good friends, right?" Leah Calloway smiled gently, "But I think, if you don't end up with Clara, it would be such a waste! Think about what I've said;do you want to give up this chance?"

Elio frowned.
