Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 338

"I really feel so awkward... After seeing Emmett last time, I've been wondering if I should even be here. I feel like I'm messing up your lives, and I'm really sorry about it..."

"What are you talking about? You, my son, Aiden, and Alex are the real family here. If anyone's messing things up, it's Clara!"

Leah bit her lip, "But..."

"No more 'buts'! I firmly believe you and my son are meant to be. Otherwise, why would you guys cross paths again in this big world?"

"Um..."

"We met in the bakery before, and we had a good chat. Isn't that fate? Don't think about anything else. Just listen to me!"

"Okay." Leah's voice was shaky, as if she were indeed the mother of the kids, "If you can let me return to my two sons, I will be forever grateful! I will do everything I can to repay you!"

"I’ll take your word for it. Leave the rest to me! I've decided that you're my daughter-in-law. As for Clara, I'll make sure she leaves the Melendez family!"

...

In the villa, Clara was alone.

She got out of bed and opened her bedroom door. The servants were still standing outside as if they were afraid she would try to escape.

Clara knew that if she couldn't get them to let their guard down, she would never be able to escape.

The servant saw Clara come out and immediately bowed to her, "Ms. Calloway, what can I do for you? Are you hungry? Elio has instructed us to prepare food at any time. What would you like?"

"Elio, Ms. Calloway has come around. She just told me she wants to eat."

"Really? That's fantastic!" Elio felt a wave of relief wash over him. "Prepare some delicious food for her right away. I'll come and see her once I'm done here."

"Don't worry, Elio. I'll take good care of Ms. Calloway."

Soon after the kitchen staff had the food ready, Nestor carried the tray and knocked on the door before personally bringing it in.

"This was prepared by the chef Elio personally chose for you. Do you like it? If not, we can arrange for different dishes."

"The food looks very appetizing. No changes needed."
