Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 239

Clara was contemplating whether to text Elio when Emmett's call came in first.

"What are you up to?"

"I'm in the office, nothing much."

"Come down for a sec."

Clara was puzzled, "Come down for what? You're not back already, are you?" She rushed to the window and sure enough, Emmett's car was parked right there!

"How come you're back so early? You should've given me a heads-up!"

"If I had, there wouldn't be any surprise," Emmett chuckled, "If you were seeing someone else, I'd have caught you red-handed."

Clara replied helplessly, "Caught being unfaithful? You sure that's a surprise and not a shock?"

"Shock it is then," Emmett waved at her from downstairs, "Come on down, I'll take you to Toy Town."

"Alright,"

Clara quickly hung up, dashed downstairs, and hopped into his car.

Seeing her cautious demeanor, Emmett laughed, "What are you doing? Acting like you're guilty of something!"

"I don't want to be seen."

"So, what if they see us? We're getting married eventually, they'll find out sooner or later." Emmett didn't get why Clara was being so careful.

"When I'm worthy of standing next to you, it'll be different. Most people will think I'm with you for your money when we announce our marriage! The rest will think it's a prank!"

"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself! I love you, not because of who you are or what you have!"
