Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 229

"That room should have been unoccupied! And he even had to bring this blade into the bathroom, only... only to cut his arm." he said just as Clara came back. Although she had washed her face, her eyes were still red.

"Are you okay?" Emmett walked towards her in long strides.

"I'm fine," Clara waved her hand.

"Well, this is the blade that cut Aiden," Emmett shook the blade in his hand. "There are only Aiden's fingerprints on it."

Clara lowered her head after hearing this. "Aiden said he did it himself."

"...harming himself? For what reason?"

"To make me and your mother stop arguing," Clara looked at Emmett and pursed her lips. "You see, although children are young, they have a lot of thoughts in their minds! We can inadvertently touch upon their inner world, and we cannot predict what impulsive actions they might take. So, Emmett, for the sake of the children, I should bear with it, and you should too."

Emmett looked at the razor blade in his hand, feeling helpless yet finding it somewhat amusing.

"But it is evident that the children really like you!"

"Of course! They are my sons," Clara said, then felt that something was not quite right and quickly added, "Although I am their stepmother, I... genuinely care for them."

"Don't say that," Emmett raised his hand to cover her mouth. "In the future, at home, don't mention the word 'stepmother' again! You are Aiden and Alex's biological mother! If anyone says stepmother again, I will definitely get angry!"
