But she couldn't just say that!
If she told Emmett that he was the only man she'd ever been with, the truth about the baby would be out in the open.
Emmett was a smart guy, he'd figure it out in no time!
"...There was no other man, just...you and Taylor..." Clara had to admit.
Hearing her answer, Emmett felt a deep pang in his heart.
Despite having braced himself for this for countless times, hearing it from Clara's own lips still stung him deeply.
"So the kid is his."
"...Can I not answer that question?" She really didn't want to lie anymore!
Emmett sat back down and waved his hand, "Alright, you can go now. I need some time to cool off, we'll talk about this later."
Clara glanced at him. As she was about to leave, she turned back to ask, "Would you...divorce me because of Taylor?"
"Do you want your freedom?"
Clara clenched her fists, "Actually, there's nothing between Taylor and me—"
"Out!"
