Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 387

Aiden at least had the decency to return her smile, but Alex went straight for the jugular. "Why'd you make my mom leave? I hate you!"

"Alex, sweetie, your mom's departure wasn't my doing." Leah tried to defend herself. She needed to prevent any unexpected surprises that could jeopardize her plans.

"Then explain why my parents started arguing the moment you showed up!"

"I have no clue, and for the record, I'm not with your father." Leah's face fell into a sorrowful expression. "I genuinely like you and Aiden. I'm helping you guys without expecting any gratitude, but it's not fair to blame me for things I didn't do."

"My brother didn't mean that. Don't take it to heart." Aiden quickly shot Alex a look, hinting for him to hold his tongue. It wouldn't help to stir the pot now.
