Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 22

She was a bit worried inside. Would Emmett suspect that she was playing hard to get?

But after all, the twin brothers look exactly the same. If Emmett had ever seen Alex's brother, her situation with Alex would be at risk! She couldn't take this chance.

……

At night, in the Melendez family's villa.

Aiden sat by the window in his room, watching the thin rain outside, and missing Clara a bit.

It was already very late, but his father hadn't come back yet.

Suddenly, he felt that it was better over at his mother's place. His mother liked to stick around him, she liked to be with him... taking him to eat all kinds of delicacies. She was always very enthusiastic about him, always had a full face of smiles every day, unlike his father who was so gloomy.

Other than scolding him, there was no other care Aiden received.

Thinking about it, he quietly sent Alex a text message.

[Call me back when Mom isn't around.]

Less than a minute after the text message was sent, Alex's call came through.

"Temporary big brother!"

His voice was still very low, and Aiden knew right away that his mother was also at home.

What a weird title! "Where's Mom?" He couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Yes, I do want Mom and Dad to be together, but, I have conditions!"

Alex suddenly intensified his tone.

"What conditions?" On the other side of the phone, Aiden's face was a bit heavy.

This little brother of his seemed a bit difficult to deal with.

Alex explained, "I need to be clear about whether Dad is a good person or a bad person and know why he left me and Mom in the first place. If he's not good to Mom, I will absolutely not let Mom suffer!"

Alex was very serious, this was his bottom line.
