...
Upstairs.
Clara was totally clueless about the things happening downstairs. She walked into the empty room, strangely not knowing what to do first.
That used to be her home, back when Emmett hadn't entered her life and only Alex was running around her.
Looking back then, it wasn't a long time ago, but a lot had changed.
Clara entered the second bedroom, gently touching the small bed inside. She missed Alex and Aiden!
She wondered what they were doing then, whether they were doing their homework or playing in the yard.
She didn't know when she would see them next.
Clara took a deep breath and quickly slapped her face, "Clara, you need to pull yourself together; don't be like this! Leah promised to send the kids over."
But whether her words were trustworthy, Clara dared not bet on it.
She decided to figure things out by herself for the time being. If Leah could keep her promise, that would have been great. If not, she'd better been prepared!
She absolutely couldn't let Leah harm the two kids. As their mom, she had to pull herself together for Alex and Aiden!
After briefly tidying up the room, Clara prepared to go out to buy some daily necessities.
Because she was taken away by Elio directly, there weren't even any clothes or quilts there.
She didn't want to wear any of the clothes Elio had bought before! She didn't want to remember the things on the news.
However, before she could step out, she heard the sound of someone trying to force open the lock outside!
Who could it have been?
Could it be a burglar or someone sent by Leah?
