Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 370

It didn't seem like anyone outside heard, nor was there any response.

Wiping away his tears with the back of his hand, Alex said, "I'm not leaving home again, and I'm not going to look for Dad. But I really miss Mom."

Aiden felt helpless. Alex's speech was getting all muddled. He was so upset; there was no way he could discuss an escape plan.

Then suddenly, the warehouse door swung open, and a man walked in, carrying a bag of bread. He walked over and tossed the bag of bread on the ground.

"Eat up! You're hungry, aren't you? I can't have you starving to death now!"

Aiden watched him, instinctively protecting Alex. "Got any water? We're kind of thirsty."

"What's with all the demands? Are you here on vacation or something?" The man scoffed. "Rich kids, always such a pain in the ass!"

With that, he turned and left.

Aiden quickly bent down, shoving the bread into Alex's hands. "Eat up."

Alex nodded, but when he opened the bread, he didn't eat. "Aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. You eat."

Before long, the man returned with two bottles of water. "Drink up!"

As he was leaving, Aiden blurted out, "Can I ask what you're planning to do with us? If you want money, I need to call my dad. Otherwise, he won't know we've been kidnapped!"

"Kidnapped?" The man sneered at him. "This isn't kidnapping. We're just restricting your freedom!"
