Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 388

Looking at the stunned expressions on the two kids' faces, Leah felt a secret sense of triumph, but she maintained an air of regret on her face.

"You've totally misread the situation, guys. It's not about your dad or any special relationship between me and him. It's about your mom, she's the one who broke the marriage! I know you're still young and can't grasp the complexity of these feelings. All I can tell you is to try to understand and be patient with your mom. After all, every woman wants to marry the man she loves!"

"You're talking rubbish! My mom doesn't love Mr. Milburn at all!" Unable to accept this, Alex sprang up, ready to storm out.

But Aiden remained calm, grabbing his brother's shirt and smiling at Leah, "Maybe we misunderstood you. We'll discuss this with dad. I apologize for our assumptions, sorry."

Upon hearing their plan to talk to Emmett, Leah quickly advised, "Your dad may not be in the right head space to hear anything about your mom right now. It might be better to bring it up after some time. You love your mom, but your dad's good to you too, right?"

Aiden didn't show any reaction, just smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll find the right time to ask him. You look like you need to rest, so we'll leave you to it."

Leah hurriedly asked, "Aren't you guys waiting for your grandma to come back?"

"Our driver's outside, he'll give us a ride home. Thanks for your concern."

With that, Aiden and Alex left the hospital room.

As soon as the door closed, Leah frowned heavily. She needed to accelerate her plan to keep these two quiet.

Otherwise, they might spill the beans to Emmett about something that could harm her.

When Aiden and Alex left the hospital, Alex asked, "Why did you say all that to that woman?"
