Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 284

Emmett stiffened for a moment and then slowly turned around.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Realizing she had been impulsive, Clara quickly laughed awkwardly, "Just forget what I asked! I don't even know what got into me. This question just popped into my head!"

"Don't worry; I won't contact her." Emmett didn't think too much and felt Clara seemed a bit uneasy.

Clara inwardly scolded herself for being so impulsive!

She had actually asked Emmett this question directly!

How long could she keep her secret if her lie were discovered and Emmett started digging?

It was already bad enough for her, but it could even drag Elio into it! If Emmett discovered that Elio helped her hide the child and kept it secret...

She didn't dare to imagine what Emmett would do! He already had some dissatisfaction with Elio...

It seemed she had to do a bit of digging before she could draw any conclusions! She couldn't just suspect people without any evidence.

Clara pursed her lips, found Leah's phone number, and sent a message over.

...

After hanging up the phone, Elio glanced at Leah, who was eating beside him and frowned.

"Did you do something to Clara?"

"Me? You should've seen I've been swamped with work these days." Leah shrugged, "And you promised me you'd bring Clara back, so why would I need to do anything?"

"Then you..."

Elio's gaze turned to the window, his voice low, "...I really want to be with Clara."

In his life, he had only ever had feelings for Clara!

The pain he felt when he decided to let her go and give her to Emmett was something only he knew!

Elio knew Leah was just an excuse! In the end, it was he who wanted Clara, and it was he who couldn't let her go!

Hearing this, Leah felt uneasy.

She walked over to Elio, hesitated briefly, then asked, "Can you tell me the truth? What's so good about Clara? Why are you so hung up on her?"
