Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 211

Clara Calloway was startled and immediately looked up, "When did you get here? Why didn't you make a sound?"

"It's just that you were so engrossed in your work, you didn't notice me."

Clara waved the blueprint in her hand, “I'm just interested! Suddenly not having to draw designs, it feels a bit off.”

Emmett raised an eyebrow, "Do you need me to get you more tasks then?”

“No need for now! I want to see the result after the review.” Clara gave a bitter smile, “Although finishing the design made me feel accomplished, I realized I've been neglecting the kids! I've been busy at work in the company. Even when I get home, I get straight back to work。 I've had no time for Aiden and Alex! I feel guilty.”

Emmett smiled, “They're lucky to have a mother like you.” After all, a stepmother doing this much, that was pretty impressive.

Clara gave an awkward smile, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

“I'm the lucky one to have those two smart kids! They've given me so much inspiration and enriched my life.”

“What about me?” Emmett moved close to her face, pulling her into his arms.

Clara instinctively struggled a bit, fearing he'd do something inappropriate in the office.

Then...

The box of birth control pills suddenly fell out of her bag!

Emmett's gaze followed, his brows furrowing immediately.

“You're in such a hurry; you even went to get these.”
