Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 184

"Aiden usually spoke very maturely, right?" Clara still didn't know what Aiden said. But she could guess! Probably something about hoping Sophia would stop embarrassing herself anymore.

"You're really good at passing the buck!" Sophia snapped, icy as ever. "Long story short, I'm telling you this once and for all, whatever's going on between you and Emmett – not my business! But if you even think about hurting my grandkids, I won't stand for it! They're my little treasures! Remember where you stand, or one day if I get some dirt on you, I'll make sure you and Emmett get divorced. Don't feel wronged!"

With that, she got up and stormed off to her room.

Clara stood there for a moment before heading back to her own room.

After a shower, she came out to find a text from Elio Milburn.

[How's it going over there? Is Leah giving you trouble?]

[No! You don't have to worry about this, she is more careful than me, every time it involves the Melendez family, she can think ahead! I don't have to worry! I think you're overcomplicating things. I know the scenario you mentioned could happen, but... she could just be a simple girl, right?]

After a while, Elio replied, [I don't know about other women, but you're definitely the naïve type! Easily fooled and too trusting! Leah's been handling family affairs for a while now, she's been through the wringer in the business world. If it comes down to a battle of wits, you won't stand a chance!]

[Don't worry, I know what to do! Thanks for caring.]

Looking at the text, Clara took a deep breath.

Sometimes she wondered, if Emmett hadn't come along, would she have been happy married to Elio?

Even without love, he was really caring and warm.

Just as she was thinking, the bedroom door opened.

Emmett walked in!
